I told Bob on another post I would look for this article and I found it! It was written in 2011 while the late J.R. Church was in his battle with cancer. He makes a very good case for the rapture occuring at Pentecost. You will like this article - good reasoning, well-written!

FAIR USE FOR INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION PURPOSES

P.S. Some of you have read the vision I had on Pentecost Sunday in 2003 where I saw everyone full of light and dressed in "armor of light" as Paul puts it. I have always wondered if I had gotten a preview of Christians transformed just at the rapture time. I don't know but some day I will get to ask Jesus in person. Since then I have always had that question bouncing around in my heart - 'will the rapture be at Pentecost?' Hope so! Blessings, Sue

Here is a more in-depth article by Gary Stearman on Pentecost and the Rapture, entitled "The Pentecost Prophecy".

FAIR USE FOR INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION PURPOSES

excerpt:

Well, I'm not looking for the Rapture to occur on Pentecost or any other Jewish feast day, so don't be disappointed if we're still here when Pentecost is over. As long as it happens before this year is out, it won't matter what date it occurs on!

Of course Kathy Jesus will come whenever the Father sends Him and we don't know for sure EXACTLY when. But the closer it gets the more we will have a clue that it is upon us.

For all those who are eagerly waiting, remember Jesus scolded the Pharisees that they did not recognize their time of visitation but could read the signs for weather. The 70 weeks of Daniel calculated to the day when the Messiah would be present. The Rabbis knew and were looking along with Simeon and Anna in the Temple, the young men who became His disciples and John the Baptist who identified Jesus as the "LAMB OF GOD". That was a clear reference to Passover and the sacrificial lamb.

Elijah, Elisha and the school of the prophets all knew the DAY OF Elijah's catching away (RAPTURE). Paul said that the Day of the Lord (GOD'S Vengeance/judgment=tribulation) would come on those asleep like a thief in the night. But he said of the church - "you are children of the light and of the day and it will not take you by surprise". He was speaking of the catching away just before the hammer of judgment fell. WE WILL KNOW when it gets close enough. How I don't know, whether by an inner witness from Holy Spirit or a specific unmistakable sign but we will know.

Pentecost seems as good a day as can be since the church began on that day.

Thank you Texas Sue for following up on those articles. It is true that J.R Church was given a choice as to what his last article would be on and he did choose Pentecost. It is kind of funny because his last name is Church. How many people do you know whose last name is Church? I don't know any nor have I ever talked to anybody in my past who had that last name.


Yes Gary did do a follow up article on Pentecost and it was so deep that I had to put the magazine down because he is way out of my league.


Thank you for sharing your vision. A Christian brother of mine saw himself going up in the rapture in a May sky. It's kind of funny because he did not even want to talk about his vision.


The reason why I am looking for the any moment rapture is simply because there is too much I don't know. These types of truths and visions only give a glimpse so it is not enough for me to go on but I do believe there is overwhelming evidence that the rapture will happen this year.


I am so excited!!!

Thank you for this article, Texas Sue. He does give some good arguments for a Pentecost rapture, including this one:

Lisaleenie, since it was a vision I re-posted it on the Visions & Dreams forum and here is the link:

Whenever spring rolls around I think of that vision of light and wonder if Pentecost is the day of our transformation and translation to heaven. Wouldn't that be grand!

Thank you Texas Sue. The first chance I get I will look at the vision you had in 2003.


I used to belong to the tape of the month club in PITN for over 20 years so I would have to say that these two men taught me more about end time Bible prophecy than any other teachers.


I did follow up on my friends vision in the conversation. I asked, "Are you sure it was not a June or July sky and he said something in the order of, "No I am very aware of what the sky looks like in the different months."


Only time will tell if it was literal or something else Jesus was trying to show him. Once again, I am looking forward to looking at the vision you had because I am sure it was for a purpose.

Thank you so much for posting this, Texas Sue! I responded in the Dreams and Visions section.

Thanks so much Texas Sue, I too responded to your vision on the other forum.

Loved reading it again!

God Bless!

Thanks Bob, Lisaleenie and Valerie. God is so wonderful to give us these glimpses of His glory and some of what is going on behind the scenes. We know that there is so much more happening than we know or can see. This vision in particular caused the Bible to become alive and so very real. It also caused me to wonder if Paul had seen the same thing and John because of some of the things they said.

I've heard of someone else who's surname is--Church. Charlotte Church is her name, and I believe that she was a very gifted singer. She also guested on an episode of Touched By An Angel, didn't she, Kathy?

I too, had a vision of my rapture, for which I told y'all about it. I saw myself lifting high above our blue marbly-looking earth, as I also saw the black sky dotted with the many twinkling of stars/or planets...our galaxy. It was a totally awesome site to behold!

Maranatha!
