A Yom Kippur Rapture

Posted by truthoughts on September 27, 2009

Ok… so I found something that is just making me so extremely excited and speechless all at the same time! I truly wish that I could just copy it in its entirety for you here but I don’t roll like that, lol. So, I will give you the link to the post so that you can read it there for yourself.

The post is on why the rapture of the church will happen on Yom Kippur, which is the second of the Fall Festivals on the Biblical calendar. I am also going to add a couple of other points that were not included there that I believe could correspond to this being the rapture date.

Alright, so here is the link to the post: “Why The Rapture Will Be On Yom Kippur”

Now, for my 2 cents…

First, the short point:

As you will read in the post, on Yom Kippur, individuals are allowed to come to repentance right up to the last hour. Well, my husband brought up the parable of the workers in the field as you see here in Matthew 20:1-14. Pay close attention to the “eleventh hour” portion of the parable.

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is] an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, [that] shall ye receive. So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them [their] hire, beginning from the last unto the first. And when they came that [were hired] about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. And when they had received [it], they murmured against the goodman of the house, Saying, These last have wrought [but] one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? Take [that] thine [is], and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.

The second point:

As you read through the post, please also keep in mind the parable of the 10 virgins in Matthew 25:1-12. Notice how both the wise and foolish virgins were sleeping. They were then awakened by the call that the bridegroom was coming. See how this relates to Rosh Hashanah which is when the “awakening blast” trumpet is heard. Also, take note how the foolish virgins went back to life as usual (buying/selling, etc.) because they were not ready (Laodicean church in Revelation 3:14-22). Then notice how when they return, they find the door shut. This corresponds to Yom Kippur because the books of judgment are sealed, shut. Jesus shuts the door in this parable.

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish. They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, [Not so]; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

Please read the post linked to above and keep in mind the points I have outlined here as well. I look forward to your comments. Peace and blessings to you in Christ Jesus.

By the way… Yom Kippur 2009 is on Wednesday, September 30th (sunset  to sunset).

    Hi sis,
    What you are about to hear may sound disappointing a bit but in Acts 3:20, Peter the apostle said Jesus will remain in heaven until God has restored all things redeemed by the blood of Jesus. Jesus perfect sacrifice on the cross not just redeemed us from eternal death but also eternal life, Zoe life on earth. Instead waiting for the trumpets, let’s arise and shine for our light has come. The Lord will arise over us and His glory will be seen upon us. Let’s wait eagerly for the great power and great grace He has promised.
    Shalom.

      Peter,

      Forgive me but I am a little unclear of your assumptions. Are you saying that you do not believe in a rapture/resurrection? Are you saying that we are to look for (in the words of Joel Osteen) “our best life now”? Or possibly, are you saying we are to be expecting the millennial reign of Christ next? Please clarify for me. Thank you.

      Sincerely In Christ,
      Alison

    Your first mistake is that Yom Kippur is not Wednesday September 30th… Yom Kippur was Sunday eve Sept 27th Monday eve Sept 28th.

    • truthoughts said

      Actually, it is Wednesday. If you read in the Bible in Leviticus 23:27 “Also on the tenth [day] of this seventh month [there shall be] a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.” Notice it is on the 10th day not the 7th day. The 1st day was on Sunday a week ago. Do not rely on Gregorian Calendars to decide when the Feasts of the Lord are, check your Bible.

      Thank you for your comment.
      Sincerely In Christ,

        Sorry but you are correct about one thing… it is the 10th day of Tishrei, which is the 7th month of the “Hebrew Calander”.

        FYI Erev Rosh Hashana was Friday evening Sept 18, the 1st day of Rosh Hashana was Tishrei 1 and it occured on Saturday Sept 19th. If you can count to 10 that brings you to Sunday eve through Monday eve.

        Even going based on your misinformation, if Sunday were the 1st (which it was not) then Tuesday Sept 29 which is today would have been Yom Kippur and not Wednesday.

        I have no idea why you even mention the Gregorian Calendar or where you get your information from.

      • truthoughts said

        Rosh Hashanah is known by the sighting of the new moon, which was sighted on Sunday (United States time in the AM) this would be around sunset Sunday in Jerusalem. Since their days are from sundown to sundown, then technically it was the beginning of their Monday. The Gregorian calendar is where others are getting that the celebration of Rosh Hashanah was on the 18th-19th.

        Counting from Sunday-Monday when the new moon was sighted:
        Sunday/Monday = 1
        Monday/Tuesday = 2
        Tuesday/Wednesday = 3
        Wednesday/Thursday = 4
        Thursday/Friday = 5
        Friday/Saturday = 6
        Saturday/Sunday = 7
        Sunday/Monday = 8
        Monday/Tuesday = 9
        Tuesday/Wednesday = 10

        So, saying it is Wednesday or saying it is Tuesday… both are actually correct because of the sunset to sunset. Technically though, it is considered Wednesday to Jerusalem.

        I hope this has cleared up all of the misunderstandings. We all are learning and no one will come to complete knowledge until we are in heaven with Christ.

        Sincerely In Christ,

        P.S. Why do you feel the need to be anonymous? Just curious.

    I understand where you are coming from now. According to your logic you would be correct. However your logic is not my logic and I will politely agree to disagree since I have no interest in delving deeper into matters of Jewish Law.

    I was anonymous because I just happened upon this site, and I was just curious myself.

    We are all children of the G-d of Israel, so I wish you a Happy New Year filled with Emes.

    Yom Teruah is the feast of trumpets, not Rosh Hashana. Rosh Hashana, the civil new year, occurs on Yom Teruah every year but a jubilee year when it occurs on Yom Kippur. Some say we will be raptured on a jubilee year. If so, do they also blow the trumpet on Rosh Hashana – distinguish this from Yom Teruah…..because then if we are raptured on Yom Kippur and it is a jubilee year then with that theory we would hear the trumpet on Yom Teruah and be waiting and then 10 days later they would hear a trumpet again (they would hear it because they are listening to civil – worldly things; we wouldn’t hear it because we re listening only to the voice – sound-call of God) but this would NOT be the trump of God because the trump of God is only on Yom Teruah (also called the Day of the Last Trump because it is the last of the 7 feasts of the spiritual year – begins in March not Roshana which civil year begins the 7th month (see it is the 7th month according to God) – where the trumpet is sounded). The foolish ones would think that was the final call when Rosh Hashana is a civil feast and not one of the 7 feasts (appointments) of God and arrive too late. They would be listening to CIVIL (worldly) sounds – words- guidance and not the spiritual (divine – word) sound because they will not have the Holy Spirit and won’t be able to discern the difference……Just a thought….And interesting too because if this is the scenario and a trumpet does also blow on Rosh Hashana, this would indicate that although they are listening to the world they still have a chance to come into the Kingdom if they get ready before Yom Teruah (that is wash their robes in the blood of the lamb).

  5. forsuchatimeasthis said

    I meant if they get ready by Yom Kippur, stop waiting for the world to tell them it’s time.

  6. forsuchatimeasthis said

    Taking this a step further maybe He said the 11 and 12 hours to indicate the time of night when He will come, for those who are WATCHING and WAITING. The 12th hour is 6 am, the end of the fourth watch of the night…..but since He is talking days then that would be 5 pm right before the new day (night which is the beginning of the day) and may indicate that He will come early and surprise us waiting for Yom Teruah or Yom Kippur and come right before the start of Yom Teruah or Yom Kippur, whichever it is…….another thought.

  7. forsuchatimeasthis said

    OK hmmm, on the other hand, referring to the door being shut may mean as many believe that the second coming will be on Yom Kippur but the rapture on Yom Teruah, may mean that the door is shut on those who don’t get ready by the end of the tribulation because as we know people still have a chance to meet God in the tribulation —-they are going out to buy oil and no one can buy unless they have the mark of the beast so I suspect they go get it so they can have “light” (and food) and make it through the tribulation — when Jesus returns to earth on Yom Kippur. After they see Him, they cry “Lord, Lord” as all will know He is God then but He says I don’t know you because then it is too late, I believe it does mean this, thinking further, because those living through the tribulation and accepting Jesus will be in their regular bodies and will enter the kingdom but not be the bride…………hence the door is shut on the wedding, as the parable says, they just enter the kingdom but do not take part in the celebration of being united in our glorified bodies (married) to Christ. Chuck Misler talks about this………..weeping and gnashing of teeth, in the outer courts as they are waiting for Him (have known Christ is coming and were waiting), just not ready.

  8. forsuchatimeasthis said

    that is, unless they actually did purchase the oil they went to get……..because if they asked for it – oil – anointing – Holy Spirit God would give it and they wouldn’t go looking out in the world for it……I love God and how he makes us think! It’s like a treasure hunt, finding the pearl of great price! So great, you could never buy it!
