An understanding of the Rapture can be gained from understanding the Jewish Wedding Tradition.

IN THE JEWISH WEDDING TRADITION,

• As the young man becomes of age to marry,

• He builds a room onto his father’s house,

• So there will be a place

• For him and his bride to live.

WHEN THE YOUNG MAN IS READY

• To get married,

• He goes to his father

• And gets permission to go after his bride.

WITH HIS FATHER’S PERMISSION,

• He goes to collect his bride.

• She never knows just when he will come for her,

• So she has to be ready at all times.

WHEN HE IS NEAR HER HOME,

• A trumpet is blown

• To let her know he is there.

• With a shout, he calls her out

• So she can follow him back to the room he prepared.

WHEN THEY GET TO HIS FATHER’S HOUSE

• He keeps her there

• For 7 days

AT THE END OF THE SEVEN DAY PERIOD,

• He goes back with her to her home

• And claims to the world,

• his rightful place as a married man.

JESUS IS IN HIS FATHER’S HOUSE,

• And he is building a place

• For His bride (the church) to live.

WHEN GOD THE FATHER GIVES PERMISSION,

• Jesus will then come for His bride (Christians)

• And when he gets here,

• A Trumpet will sound

• And a Shout will occur

• To call his bride to Him.

WHEN WE MEET HIM IN THE AIR,

• We shall follow Him

• To His Father’s house - -

• Where He will keep us for 7 years.

AT THE END OF THAT 7 YEARS,

• Jesus will take us back to earth,

• Where He claims to the world

• His rightful place as

• King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

BY UNDERSTANDING

• The Jewish Wedding Tradition,

• We can see perfectly

• How the the Book of Revelation will unfold.
