The Apostle Paul told the church, “Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed” (1 Corinthians 15:51-52, NKJV).[i] This verse provides the strongest argume...
It is written, “Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” (Revelation 11:15). This verse in Revelation could hint at the timing of the rapture, given there are no other trumpets mentioned afte...
There is another question we need to ask: “What type of trumpet is being blown in the book of Revelation?” In the Old Testament, there are two types mentioned in the Temple's services, a ram’s horn (Shofar) and two silver trumpets (chatzo’tza’rote), made per the instructions given to Moses. The Hebrew English translation only uses the word “trumpet...
The Shofar was commanded to be blown on the Festival of Trumpets. It was also used at the commencement of the Shabbat, the beginning of the months (new moons), and the fiftieth year of Jubilee (Yovel). Finally, on the Day of Atonement, the holiest day of the year for the Jewish people, the last Shofarblast of the year was sounded as the high priest...
Two silver trumpets were also blown on the Lord’s Holy convocations along with the Shofar, as it is written, “With trumpets [va’chatzo’tza’rote] and the sound of a horn [Shofar]” (Psalm 98:6). But the sages tell us that the silver trumpets were blown abruptly, while the Shofar was blown for an extended time. The rabbis explain that the Shofar is co...
Since the Greek language in the New Testament does not distinguish between the various trumpet types, we will need to compare the broader context of its vocabulary with the commanded instructions in the Old Testament. Exploring the Greek, we find that each variation of the word salpigx (sálpigks) correlates with a war trumpet that boldly announces ...
In Revelation chapters one and four, the Apostle John hears a loud voice “as of a trumpet.” At first, he hears the voice from behind, which is analogous to the voice of God that many prophets of old heard coming from behind their head. As we read, “Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk in it” (Isaiah 30:21). But then...
The last Shofar commanded in the Old Testament, after the resurrection and rapture of the church, announces God’s final atonement for the Jewish people and their land. It is written, “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people; For He will avenge the blood of His servants, And render vengeance to His adversaries; He will provide atonement for His land an...
There is much ambiguity about the timing of the resurrection and rapture of the church. Will it occur before, during, or near the end of the tribulation? The Lord may have given us some clues in the Bible. In the Book of Daniel chapter seven, we read about four beasts representing four kingdoms that will rule over the nation of Israel. The first be...
While it is impossible to know with certainty the day or hour of the resurrection and rapture, we, the church, should be aware of the season. Therefore, Yeshua instructed us to watch continually, looking up and awaiting the last trumpet call (Shofar) of God that will raise the dead in Christ. Then, we, who are alive, will be caught up to meet the L...
Sep 9, 2018 · The Rapture in the Old Testament. By Jim Tetlow. Perhaps some of the strongest arguments in favor of a Pre-Tribulation or Pre-Seventieth Week of Daniel Rapture are found in the Old Testament. In the Old Testament we see “a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things” (Hebrews 10:1).
Sep 22, 2020 · Following his rapture, Paul was in the presence of the Lord immediately. Similarly, 1 Corinthians 15:52 reveals the rapture of believers will take place “in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.”. Second, this rapture occurred to “a man in Christ.”. John Drane sees this concept as the heart of Paul’s theology.
- ENOCH (RAPTURE 1) Enoch (Gen 5:24; Heb 11:5): Enoch is mentioned in Genesis 5:24 as someone who “walked with God” and was taken by God so that he did not experience death.
- ELIJAH (RAPTURE 2) Elijah (2 Kings 2:1, 11): Elijah’s departure from Earth occurred in a whirlwind as he was taken up into heaven in a chariot of fire, witnessed by his disciple Elisha, as described in 2 Kings 2:1 and 11.
- JESUS (RAPTURE 3) Jesus (Mark 16:19; Acts 1:9-11; Rev 12:5): After Jesus’ resurrection, He ascended into heaven, as recorded in Mark 16:19 and Acts 1:9-11.
- PHILIP (RAPTURE 4) Philip (Acts 8:39): After baptizing the Ethiopian eunuch, Philip was “caught away” by the Spirit of the Lord, indicating a sudden transportation from one place to another, mentioned in Acts 8:39.
Apr 1, 2022 · The rapture is a mystery only revealed in the New Testament, whereas the second coming is prophesied throughout the Old Testament. In 1 Corinthians 15:51-53, Paul said: Listen, I will tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a moment, in the blinking of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound ...

Jul 21, 2013 · This is the rapture that is at the last trumpet! For sure. Just not OUR rapture! G. The Damned to Armageddon (Rev 14:17-20) 1. Right after the catching away of Tribulational believers, there is ONE MORE rapture! 2. The gathering of all the damned from all over the world, and their materialising in the Valley of Megido (Joel 3:1,2; Zeph 3:8) 3.
