Do we Know of the Hour of the Rapture based on the Bible

Do we Know of the Hour of the Rapture based on the Bible

We have learned in these articles a lot of the Bible and especially Leviticus 23. We have come to learn that the Day and Hour No man Knoweth is taken out of context by Christians because they do not understand Leviticus 23.

So is there a possibility of knowing the Hour of the Rapture by way of the Bible. This is only a guess but we can narrow it down by looking at the life of the Jews and the Temple Services and Creation and other events.

Here is what we know. Creation of the Earth took 7 days and at the end of each day there was mentioned Evening and Morning. So we know the Day began in the Evening when the first three stars came out and the Day went from Evening to Evening.

Gen_26:24  And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.

Exo_12:12  For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. Passover Night.

Exo_12:42  It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.

The angel of Death came at midnight.

Why do we have the Passover meal at night besides to remember the Exodus? We have it as a dress rehearsal to be ready for our gathering/resurrection at night.  

2Ki_19:35  And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.

2Ch_1:7  In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee. 2Ch_7:12  And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.

Oba_1:5  If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?

Zec_14:7  But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.

Yeshua/Jesus died at 3 PM on Passover day (not a Sabbath but a Day of Preparation). He was buried prior to dark and when the two men came out they looked up and saw the first three stars come out. 3 days and 3 nights later (72 hours), Yeshua rose on the Feast of First Fruits when the First 3 stars came out.

3 times we have the mentioning of the first 3 stars coming out at night. Hmm! Very interesting.

Mat 25:1  Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

Mat 25:2  And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

Mat 25:3  They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

Mat 25:4  But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

Mat 25:5  While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

Mat 25:6  And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

Mat 25:7  Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

Mat 25:8  And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

Mat 25:9  But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

Mat 25:10  And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

Mat 25:11  Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

Mat 25:12  But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

Mat 25:13  Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Midnight is mentioned in Matthew 25:6.

When did Jesus arrive at the Garden of Gethsemene.

Mat 26:34  Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

Mat 26:35  Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

Mat 26:36  Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane,

Night.

Mar 14:27  And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.

Night.

According to Dr. Denis Otero, the Passover for most began around 9 PM and ended at Midnight.

We know Yeshua was put on the stake at 9AM and the Sun went down at Noon and  He died at 3 PM when the last lamb in the Temple died at 3 PM.
 Amo_8:9  And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at Noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:

  

The morning services ended around 9 Am and then began the sacrificing of the Passover lambs. 250,000 lambs were killed the Day before Passover on the Fast of the Firstborn and then another 250,000 lambs were killed on Passover and this is when the Priests killed their own Passover lambs.

1Th 5:1  But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

1Th 5:2  For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

1Th 5:3  For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

Again here we see that the event prophetically will occur at night.

Conclusion: Major events in the Bible pointing to the arrival of the Messiah points to a night time event between the first three stars coming out at night to around the midnight hour. Based on Matthew 25:1-14, I would say that it would happen around the midnight hour.
