Transcription

1 COMMUNIQUE Biblical armor for the last days! 2014 Issue # Rapture in Jewish Weddings In our travels to Israel, the one thing that stands out to most Believers for the first time is the Jewishness of the Bible. Christians in America tend to think of the Bible from our western perspective, despite the Old Testament and the first four books of the New Testament being written about the Jews living in Israel. So it s not surprising that we can learn a lot from the quite specific steps involved in a Jewish wedding. Even a casual observer sees that the events of a Jewish wedding closely parallel the Church s future wedding with Jesus. You ll have to agree that the chart below shows fascinating insight into the Believer s future! Jewish Marriage Bride of Christ 1) Marriage Covenant The Groom s father approves the choice and payment for the bride. Jesus follows His Father s orders by making payment of His blood on the cross.. You did not choose Me but I chose you. John 15:16 the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.

The 70 Weeks of Daniel J.B. Hixson, IL Based on Daniel 9:24-27, this is one of two foundational Bible prophecies you MUST correctly understand to properly understand the future.

The U.S. Constitution and the Bible Jenna Ellis, CO Watching secular news you would think God was never a part of this country s foundation.

Jewish Marriage Church Marriage 6) Bride and Groom Hidden Christ (the groom) takes His bride (the Church) The bride and groom are hidden in the groom s and hides her for seven years (protected from father s house for seven days. the Tribulation). The 70th Week of Daniel, Dan 9:27 The bride and groom meet with the father s assembled guests for the private wedding ceremony. 7) Wedding Ceremony 8) Marriage Feast The Church has its wedding ceremony in heaven. Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready. Rev 19:7 Public presentation, bride unveiled and the marriage feast That He might present to Himself the Church in all her glory... Eph 5:27 When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in Glory. Col 3:4 Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb. So what do we learn? We learn that, for the moment, Jesus is away building our future home. Since He built the earth in six days, working on our future home for almost 2000 years means we will be dumbfounded at our future digs! We also see clearly that there is a future seven-year Tribulation with the Church missing from earth. Another nail in the coffin of the mid-trib and A-Millenial theories. If you wish to enjoy a great Bible study on the Church and Bible prophecy, get the Why Mid and Post-Trib Rapture Can t Happen DVD on page 7. It will COMFORT you if you still have any inclination towards mid or post-trib Rapture! :-) Many thanks to Andy Woods, Paul Van Noy and Lambert Dolphin who have taught about the prophecy parallels in Jewish weddings. 6
