Is MOSES a third clue to a Firstfruits / Pentecost Rapture?

Summary points at a glance:

· God came down Moses went up Month 3 Day 1 -Pentecost

· 3 days the Lord will come down in the sight of the people- preparation for his appearing

· On the 3rd. Day in the Morning the trumpet sounded long and waxed louder and louder

· God called Moses up- “come up hither as if it were a trumpet talking with me” Rev4:1

· The consecrated the Priest came up the Mountain- Jesus consecrates/ stay cleansed.

· Moses was on the mountain for 40 Days and 40 Nights- Jesus on the Mountain 40 Days

· Moses a Type of Firstfruit who experienced the Glory of God- Jesus was “the Firstfruit”

· Israelites had to wander for 40 years- 40 years of trial like 40 days of flood/judgment

· Counting of the Omer- 1-49 days on day 50 is Pentecost perfect consummation of time

· There are only 3 Feast, Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles. Pentecost is the feast that is most like a wedding, Jews traditionally wear white, eat dairy deserts (wedding cake) and feast.

· Jesus was caught up 7 days before Pentecost; will he fulfill it with us by calling us up?

· His second coming with the saints could be the “hour that know man knowth,” Rosh Hashanah.

Moses is one of many clues that the rapture or catching away of the righteous/ bride could happen during the Feast of Weeks (Passover to Pentecost 50 days). Moses went up to meet with God on Month 3 day 1 of God’s Biblical Calendar, this day is called Pentecost. It is also one of God’s appointed feast, (moeds divine appointments). God commanded Israel that they MUST appear before him three times a year, Pentecost being one of them. The first was the Feast of Unleavened Bread which starts the counting of the days until Pentecost (50 perfect consummation of time, a jubilee). The feast are what God calls divine appointments, appointments for his appearing and our appearing before him, they are shadows of things to come. In Exodus 19 God wanted all of Israel to climb up the mountain and appear before him, but they were to afraid of the thunder lightning, smoke, fire, and the trumpet that grew louder and louder. God beckoned the consecrated up with a trumpet. Moses is a type of Firstfruit; it is the righteous bride who obeys the voice of God.

Pentecost offers us many clues for his appearing, the preparation cleansing and purification process; the making ourselves ready for his appearing; the trumpet waxing louder and louder to call the bride up; the lightning that comes with his appearing; as well as the “changing in a twinkling of an eye” once we are in his presence.

Throughout the scriptures starting in Genesis and ending in Revelation a pattern emerges, there seems to be an open windows in the Heavens from Passover to Pentecost. More so then any other time or appointed feast; God’s appearing, lifting up, and the saving of the righteous, and soon perhaps the bride for the marriage. Traditionally on Pentecost the Jews wear white, they eat sweet dairy product like cakes (milk and honey). Does this symbolize the Bride and the wedding feast and the wedding cake? It may be a tradition, but it may also prophetic, a shadow of things to come.

God was angry with the Israelites because they had done evil in his sight, he let them wander for 40 years, this wandering is likened to 40 days and 40 nights of rain… the number 40 means a time of trial. The Israelites after the 3 days of cleansing and 40 days of Moses being on the mount, they Built a calf, they also murmured. Moses being a type of Firstfruit stayed consecrated before the Lord, without sin, without leaven, likened to the Feast of Unleavened Bread, to be found with out sin. On the third day in the morning God called the Consecrated/cleansed up “come up” as Christ also rose up on the third day, in the morning. Is the Church cleansed and consecrated today, Rev 2-3 says we must overcome, stay repentant, not be lukewarm etc... The bride stays consecrated, comes out of the world, and has a door open before her that no man can shut. Revelations tells us that much of the church is like the Israelites they have not stayed consecrated and cleansed and will not be kept from “The Hour of Trial”?- Rev 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. Does the “calling up” of Moses on Pentecost day 50 meaning perfect consummation, be are calling up, “Come hither”, the lightning, the trumpets waxing louder and louder? I believe we do have a good match… or as close as you can get! (Study continues in more detail below)

SUPPORTING SCRIPTURES AND STUDY

Exodus 19 1In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai. 3And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; On Month 3 Day 1 of the Biblical Holy Day Moses went up and God came down God would appoint this time period as a memorial but also as an appoint of things to come and as future fulfillment. This day would be called Pentecost.

· Appointed Feast are called Moed, "festival time," Strong's #4150, means "set festival time, divine appointment, a fixed, set time or season, festival, an assembly convened for a definite purpose, appointed time or place of solemn assembly, set or solemn feast.

· Pentecost would become the final feast of what would be called the Feast of Weeks. During this time the Isrealites would also offer up a wave offering unto the lord for 49 days the first day would begin with "The Counting of the Omar which is done between Unleavened Bread/Firstfruits and Pentecost. Exodus 34:22 Observe the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost), of the firstfruits of wheat harvest.

God told Moses to have the people cleansed for 3 days the Lord will come down Exodus 19: 9And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD. 10And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, 11And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

· God would come unto them and to speak with them.

· Washing cleansing and purifying for 2 days

· The third day the Lord would come down in their sight

PENTECOST- GOD CAME DOWN Exodus 19: The people that was in the camp trembled. 17And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. 8And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice. 3119And

Lightning, thunder, trumpet sounding long and waxed louder and louder. Exodus 19:16And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud;LIGHTNING SO SHALL THE SON OF MAN BE The trumpet sounding long and waxing louder and louder is also a clue, and is a picture of the Catching Away or Rapture.

· For as the lightning, /that lighteneth out of the one [part] under heaven, shineth unto the other [part] under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. Luke 17:24· And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

· 1 Corinthians 15:52 (King James Version) 52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

MONTH 3 DAY1 PENTECOST MOSES WENT UP- 20And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up. 21And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish. 22And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them. 23And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it. 24And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them

Pentecost , the Mountain and Jesus

· The Mountain is also a type of THE MOUNTAIN OF GOD, where his kingdom will be established It will be 50 Miles across, another type of 50.· The counting of the Omar is 49 days the 50th is Pentecost. · Jesus went up between the “Counting Of The Omar” between The Feast of Unleavened Bread , Firstfruits and Pentecost. 50 -The Number Fifty 1.The number fifty is the number of jubilee or deliverance. It is the issue of 7 x 7 (72), and points to deliverance and rest following on as the result of the perfect consummation of time.· At Pentecost the Holy Ghost came down. Man went up into the upper room and God came down, here is another type of shadows of things to come. Man going up and God coming down. · The Holy Spirit poured himself out on his beloved in the upper-room. There is another upper room (the bridal chamber) waiting our arrival where we to will be changed from bride to wife. Will it be on Pentecost as it was for the disciples? The window is open, it certainly is a shadow of things to come!· Jesus was the Firstfruit we must examine the time, the season and the footsteps of Jesus to see the “shadow of things to come” for us, his bride. Jesus was in the grave 3 days, appeared to man 40 days, then he ascended, the disciples tarried in Jerusalem for 7 days, a total of 50 days. THE NUMBER 40- 40 DAYS/NIGHTS NOAH’S FLOOD – 40 YEARS OF ISREALITES WANDERING. WHATS THE PARALLELL? · With thee flood there was 40 days/nights of rain 40 is the number to try men. The Israelites did not enter in the promise land because of God’s anger with them they did not stay cleansed/consecrated so 40 years they wandered.· This is a type of Judgment with the number being 40 just like with the flood of Noah. The Lord's anger burned against Israel and he made them wander in the desert forty years, until the whole generation of those who had done evil in his sight was gone. Numbers 32:13· 7 LETTERS TO THE 7 CHURCHES- WILL CAST SOME INTO TRIBULATION! Rev 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.CLUES TO FUTURE APPEARANCES BEFORE THE LORD: 3 TIMES A YEAR THE ISREALITES WERE TO APEAR BEFORE THE LORD Deuteronomy 16:16 Appear before the Lord in the place He chooses three times a year: in the Feast of Unleavened Bread, Feast of Weeks (Pentecost), and Feast of Tabernacles.
