1 Thessalonians 4:15-18
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
2 Timothy 4:7-8
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing .
This is just a thought I had, and wouldn’t it be great if this became true, but…
What if we received our crowns ON Sep 23, 2017?!?! Hear me out. Jupiter exits the womb area of the Virgo constellation on Sep 11 (interesting date, all things considered), and the dragon is just waiting and ready to devour the child at the moment of birth, but the woman is “caught up” (raptured) to “…a place prepared by God.” Rev 12:6. Sounds an awful lot like when Jesus said ‘I’m going to prepare a place for you.’ …doesn’t it?!
I’ve heard all sorts of explanations and interpretations of who the child and woman are – Jesus & Mary, Jesus & The Church, The Church & Mary, etc… But what if the woman (or virgin) is us, the Church?! The Church is caught up/raptured on or soon after Sep 11, and on Sep 23, when Venus, Mars, and Mercury line up to give the Virgo constellation it’s prophesized crown of 12 stars, that just happens to be a celestial sign in Heaven to symbolize the day we actually receive our crowns in Heaven?!... cause we’re already there with the Lord!!!
Just a thought. But an exciting, and I think a plausible one at that!
Hi Brady,
What an encouraging thought, thanks so much for sharing. It would be absolutely awesome, should it take place sooner, than we expected the Rapture.
I like your thought that you expressed on the occurrences of the Rapture timing, because, scripture states that when we think not, or least expect it the day and hour, that's when it will take place.
The Pre Tribulation Rapture has always been imminent, therefore, of course it could happen sooner!!!
Maranatha!
Valerie
