The Jewish wedding is representative of the the Rapture,wherein the Bride of Christ is taken to our Heavenly Father's House, by Yeshua Ha Mashiach.
Bridegrooms typically came for their brides in the middle of the night, to "steal them away". The groom would often come like a thief in the night, often around the midnight hour.
The bride would have to have her lamp and her belongings ready at all times. Her sisters or bridesmaids would also be waiting, keeping their lamps trimmed in anticipation of the late night festivities.
We need to have our lamps full and be prepared for the arrival of the Bridegroom! 
At the midnight cry, the bridegroom comes!
Jerusalem (Israel) Midnight between Saturday, September 11, 2010 and Sunday, September 12, 2010

Matt 25:1-13 "Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept. But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!’ Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. The foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘What if there isn’t enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us.’ But he answered, ‘Most assuredly I tell you, I don’t know you.’ Watch therefore, for you don’t know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming."
You know, as a believer, it's really difficult for me to understand how we will know the season with regards to the Rapture when dates like this come and go with nothing. It seemed to have made so much sense. I how much more perfect could the situation be? Where does this put us? Does it really need to occur on a feast holiday? Are we limiting the timing of His return? I just dunno anymore.
ReplyDeleteMidnight symbolizes a new day--The Lord’s initial coming for the wise of the parable is symbolized by the Day of Redemption (Eph. 4:30)—or the Day of Jesus Christ (Phil. 1:6, 10)—or the Day of Christ (2 Cor. 2:16; 2 Thess. 2:2-3)—or the Day of the Lord Jesus (1 Cor. 5:5; 2 Cor. 1:14)—or the Day of the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 1:7-8)—or the Day of God (2 Pet. 3:12), or the Lord’s Day (Rev. 1:10)—or the Day of the Lord, which comes as a thief in the night (1 Thess. 5:2; 2 Pet. 3:10). All of which are the Day that Christians are to see approaching (Heb. 10:25), lest the Day come upon Christians unawares (Luke 21:34). Now why are all of these days one in the same? Because the Scripture doesn’t state that they are different days; nowhere does Scripture divide the days with separate interpretations. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_22?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=midnight%27s+cry+revised%2C+robert+c+harris&sprefix=midnight%27s+cry+revised%2Caps%2C412&crid=276XVI8E0X100
DeleteJitsuGuy,
ReplyDeleteMany of us are experiencing the same feelings. It did seem to fit like a glove.
However, the Christchurch does seem to be a signal. Could it point to 40 days or 50 days or such?
We do know that we are approaching the Tribulation period and Lord willing, a pre-Trib Rapture.
Knowing this, it should serve to spur us on to more righteous living while spreading the Gospel, as time is growing short.
This why God has allowed us to see that the season is upon us!!
May I encourage you to not to be dismayed!
We are getting closer by the day!
we are approaching the tribulation. Great post and beautiful photos. Thanks to share with me.

Midnight's Cry is not when the Bridegroom returns--there was a cry at midnight because it symbolized a new a daw--the Day of the Lord--the Day of Jesus Christ--the Day of Christ--the Day of our Redemption--the DAY THAT WE ARE TO SEE APPROACHING--THE DAY THAT WE ARE HASTING (Greek wise: expecting). Only then did all the virgins arise and trim their lamps to light their way in That Night, or prepare to meet the Bridegroom--the night that we are to biblically watch (Mark 13:33-37), which is to put on agape love that works our faith (1 Thess. 5:6-8); or the light of brotherly love (2 Jon 2:9-10, 3:14).
