CAN WE EXPECT A CHANNUKAH RAPTURE??

Channukah is akin to a second Feast of Tabernacles.

It is referred to as "Sukkot of Fire". It is connected by the first dedication of Solomon's Temple, which coincided with Sukkot and lasted 8 days, to the rededication of the Temple by the Maccabees, which also lasted 8 days because of the miracle of the oil.

Hoshanah Rabbah is the seventh day of Sukkot or the "Great Salvation" which has strong Rapture connotations. It is a climatic day of praise to the Lord that was also viewed by the rabbis as a mini-Yom Kippur.

Hoshanah Rabbah is the day when all the decrees made on Rosh Hashasnah and sealed on Yom Kippur are actually sent to be fulfilled.

Might this coming 7th Day of Channukah represent the Rapture?

The "LAST TRUMP" of the Rapture may indicate the very LAST TRUMPET blast of the 21 trumpets blown on Hoshanah Rabbah. 

This is the very last Feast day on the religious calendar. Therefore, the last trumpet blast on Hoshanah Rabbah would be the LAST TRUMP of the year.


"...in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, AT THE LAST TRUMP. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed." 1 Corinthians 15:52

 
As aforementioned, after the Maccabees re-dedicated the Temple, Chanukkah was also celebrated as a Second Tabernacles /Sukkot.

On the 7th day of Tabernacles, Hoshanah Rabbah, people traditionally WEAR WHITE and cry out "bring us SALVATION, please", while HOLDING PALM BRANCHES.


After the 6th Seal Rapture, those just SAVED before the beginning of God's Wrath/JUDGMENT, aka the Tribulation period, are around the throne, WEARING WHITE, HOLDING PALM BRANCHES exclaiming: "SALVATION belongs to our God.":



"..They were WEARING WHITE robes and were holding PALM BRANCHES in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice:

"SALVATION belongs to our God,who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb." Revelation 7:9-10


In the "twinkling of an eye", we may be transported from pleading to God to please "SAVE US" to praising Him before His throne, for His Salvation!!


Hoshanah Rabbah is the day thought to be when judgment is delivered, when the GATES OF JUDGMENT FINALLY CLOSE.

God is so merciful and long-suffering, that He may have delayed His Judgment until this Second Tabernacles.


On Hoshanah Rabbah, the verdict is thought to be sent out to the angels to perform it.


After the 6th Seal Rapture, we see in Revelation 8, where the angels begin to perform God's verdict/judgment of wrath, on an unrepentant mankind.


On Hoshanah Rabbah, it is recited:


"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD"


In Hebraic understanding, the Godly greet the coming Messiah in their hearts, knowing it applies to Him.


This is why those who recognized Jesus as the Messiah, at His triumphal entry, took PALM BRANCHES and cried "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord..!"


"So they took BRANCHES OF PALM trees and went out to meet him, crying out, "HOSANNA (which means SAVE US)! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord..!"John 12:12


It appears that Yeshua may have been indicating that WE WILL SEE HIM AGAIN on a Hoshanah Rabbah, when "blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord" is exclaimed!


Remember too, that the end of Hanukkah correlates to Hoshanah Rabbah, on which PALM BRANCHES are held and HOSANNA, which means SAVE US, is recited.


"For I tell you, you WILL NOT SEE ME AGAIN, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"Matthew 23:29
