Pentecost And The Rapture Follow Up

Q. This is a quote of yours from a question about the rapture still being 300 years away and I have a question regarding it.

“Finally, we should note that in this passage the concluding event is the restoration of the Kingdom for Israel. It has nothing to do with the Rapture of the Church which can happen at any moment. Using his calculations and beginning at the Resurrection, Hosea’s prophecy of Israel’s restoration will be fulfilled around 2032, within the window of time I’ve previously established of 2018-2037.”

Does this mean that the rapture wouldn’t happen until 7 years before 2032?  Approximately 2025?  That seems like a LONG ways off!!

Second Passover

Q. Have you ever heard about Second Passover???  Not sure about this, but curious if you have heard.  I seems to me to be a lot of pulling in scripture to “fit” a time frame. Read Post »

Why Did The Lord Linger On Earth, Follow Up

Q. Regarding the question about what did Christ do on earth during the time between his Resurrection and Pentecost.    I’m surprised that you didn’t mention that there are 50 days between the Jewish Feast of the First-fruits, and the Feast of Pentecost.  Jesus was on earth for 40 days after His resurrection.  10 days after His Ascension was Pentecost.  This was the fulfillment of those feasts.

The Rapture And The 2nd Coming

Q. In the last year I have been studying the “Hebrew roots” of my Christianity and am now in AWE more profoundly than ever - of God’s patterns I’m discovering. Partly in thanks to your website I understand in a more straightforward way, the prophetic significance of the Spring Holy Days (Passover/Unleavened Bread/First Fruits) and the first coming of our Jesus the Christ. That – and also the likelihood of Jesus’ birth being sometime during Sukkot and his conception being sometime during Hanukkah! Simply Amazing! Read Post »

Celebrating The Feasts

Q. After the birth of the church on the day of Pentecost (which was mostly if not all Jewish) did the members of the church continue to practice or celebrate the seven feasts? Here is the reasoning behind my question (and please correct me if I am wrong)… the Lord never intended the Jewish people to stop being Jewish, He just intended for them (like all of us) to be believers in the one whom the Father hand sent. So would practicing/celebrating the feasts of Israel be considered legalistic?  I can’t wait to hear your answer… Read Post »

The Last Trump

Q. On the page “Defending The Pre-Trib Rapture (Again)” you make this statement;

“Don’t try to use the trumpet reference in verse 52 to pin the timing down. There are several “Last Trumpets” in the Bible and in Jewish tradition. This verse just means it’s the last trumpet we’ll hear before we’re changed. ”

Could you provide some backup to this please?

Messianic Jews And The Law

I want to ask you something concerning my Messianic Jewish belief. Are Jews still required to keep the feasts, eat kosher, and observe the Sabbath or were all these things done away with when Jesus died on the cross?

Is The Church Bound By Jewish Feasts?

Is the Church bound by Jewish Feast Days? When it comes to Prophecy, can the Rapture really be just any old day? Pentecost and Feast of Trumpets are the 2 most popular Feasts that most Experts debate over. I love Feast Days because it allows believers a target to anticipate for the Rapture. Could it just mean He is coming just any old day out of the blue?

A Wave Offering

Re: Matthew 27:51-53. I’ve read it several times but I’ve never heard any teaching on it other than the veil being torn to show that God is now accessible to any who would seek Him and not just the “priests”. I wonder what this resurrection could mean as it relates to the dead in Christ raising first as mentioned in 1 Thessalonians 4:16. Can you offer any insight?
