Dr Douglas Hamp Reclaiming The Rapture
Denver Prophecy Summit
Mystery of the Rapture (quotes
from a pretrib site) Bible truth.org.
1. The rapture of the Body of
Christ is not found in the Old Testament for the obvious reason that the
institution of the local church was not revealed until the New Testament. The
Old Testament deals with God working with the nation of Israel.
2. Rapture is also not found in the Gospels, and
again the reason being the Gospels primarily deal with Israel and not the
churches.”
3. “The catching up of Christians
is a different resurrection (the rapture), than that of Restored Israel, which
was a mystery not revealed to the Jews in the Old Testament.”
4. “God used the Apostle Paul to
explain how that believers in the church age have a different relationship with
Christ and also a different resurrection.” [End quote all emphasis mine]

The Mystery of the Rapture of the Body of Christ at the End of the Church Age.
Outline: I Cor 15:51-58, I Thess 4:13-18 http://bible-truth.org/myst-3.htm
All of their points are false.
All matters are by 2-3
witnesses.
Tim Lahaye admits it “One
objection to the pre-tribulation Rapture is that not one passage of Scripture
teaches the two aspects of His Second Coming separated by the Tribulation. This
is true. But then, no one passage teaches a post-trib or mid-trib Rapture,
either.”
“No single verse specifically states, ‘Christ
will come before the Tribulation.’ On the other hand, no single passage teaches
He will not come before the Tribulation, or that He will come in the middle or
at the end of the Tribulation. Any such explicit declaration would end the
debate immediately.”
Hal Lindsey Admits it.
“One of the worlds best known
advocate of a pre-trib rapture, Lindsey admits that he cannot: “point to any
single verse that clearly says the rapture will occur before… the tribulation.”
(The Rapture by Hal Lindsey p. 32).
“pretribulationism is based
largely on arguments from inference and silence.” (ibid p. 31).
Book: Hal Lindsey The Rapture
Then How do they Support it?
You can’t find it in the Old Testament and you can’t find it in the gospels
then they support it by looking at Old Testament types and shadows, God’s
method of saving His people before judgement becomes apparent and foreshadows
timing of the Rapture of the church in the prophetic timeline.’
A shadow is generated from the
object. If ther is no object, there is no shadow. Hence, if there is no pretrib
vers, there is no shadow
Examples: Abraham and
Isaac; Joesph and Egypt.
Objectives of this study. 1.
Expose the intimidating list of supposed pretrib verses. 2. Show the dozens of
verses about timing of the resurrection and rapture (gathering) is not a
mystery! 3. Reclaim the doctrine of the gathering of God’s people after the
tribulation.
Mark Hitchcock admits it The End by Mark Hitchcock.
“While no single verse says
Jesus is coming to rapture his saints before the seven-year Tribulation, there
are clear statements that He is coming to deliver His people from the coming
wrath.” Mark Hitchcock, The End, Pg 136.
“…many biblical doctrines, such
as the Trinity, the inerrancy of Scripture, and the dual nature of Christ, are
not spelled clearly in one verse.” Mark Hitchcock, The End, Pg 136. [emphasis
mine].
Pre trib rapture verses: Jn
14:1-3=Deut 24:5; Rom 8:1,19; I Cor 1:7-8; Col 3:1,4; I Thess 2:13-18; 2 Thess
2:1-3;
The Day of the Lord is not coming until
the man of sin is revealed.
I Jn 2:28-3:2; Heb 9:28; Jas
5:7-9
Look for the word resurrection
and gathering.
Isa 26:19-21; Jn 5:25, 27; Jn
11:24; Dan 12:2, 13;
I Cor 15:54-55; Isa 25:8-9; Hos

Isa 27:12-13; 1 Pet 5:4; Col
3:4; I Jn 3:2; Ps 17:15
Rapture is Gathering and hiding
away.
Whose naked? “The Rapture of
the Body of Christ is not found in the Old Testament.
The Rapture is not found in the
Gospels
The Catching up of Christians
is a different resurrection (the Rapture), than that of Restored Israel—a
mystery not revelaed to the Jews in the Old Testament.”

Isa 26:19 Thy
dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise.
Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of
herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
Isa 26:20
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about
thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be
overpast.
Isa 26:21
For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants
of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and
shall no more cover her slain.
Psa 118:5 I
called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a
large place. (Day of Trumpet)
Deu 24:5 When
a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be
charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and
shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.
One year here. Which is shorter? 360/365 days, 1260
days/3.5 years/42 months, or 2550 days?
Mat 24:21 For
then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the
world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 3.5 years.
Mat 24:22 And
except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for
the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
Mar_13:20 And
except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but
for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
Which is shorter than the other 360/365 days or 3.5
years/1260 days/42 months or 2550 days/7 years?
Why do you believe 2550 days is shorter than 360/365 days?
This following section focuses on little and time
(space, while, moment, sleep, time, season, etc).
Ezr_9:8 And now for a little space grace hath been shewed
from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail
in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little
reviving in our bondage.
Job_24:24 They are exalted for a little while, but are
gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and
cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
Psa_37:10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall
not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall
not be.
Pro_6:10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to sleep:
Pro_24:33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to sleep:
Isa_10:25 For yet a very little while, and the
indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.
Hos_1:4 And the LORD said unto him, Call his name
Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel
upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of
Israel.
Hag_2:6 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once,
it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and
the sea, and the dry land; (One year of shaking during the Day of the
Lord).
Joh_7:33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while
am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me. He left the earth on
the 40th Day after His resurrection on the Feast of First Fruits.
Joh_12:35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while
is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon
you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
Joh_13:33 Little children, yet a little while I am with
you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot
come; so now I say to you.
Joh_14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no
more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
Joh_16:16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and
again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
Joh_16:17 Then said some of his disciples among
themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall
not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go
to the Father?
Joh_16:18 They said therefore, What is this that he
saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.
Joh_16:19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask
him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A
little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall
see me?
Heb_10:37 For yet a little while, and he that shall
come will come, and will not tarry.
Jas_4:14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on
the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth
for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
Rev_6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of
them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season,
until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as
they were, should be fulfilled.
The Day of Trumpet is the rapture and the
Day of Atonement begins the Day of the Lord. This one year covers both the
Trumpet and Bowl judgments of Revelation and ends on the Day of Atonement with
marriage of the Groom and Bride and Armageddon. Then we have 5 days of grace
and then the Feast of Tabernacles/Millennium begins
Restoration of the Two houses
Ezek 37:19-22 932 BC Split of the two
houses.
933 Sabbath Year (Shemitah)
2965 933
BCE, 931, 932 Kingdom split
933-911 Jeroboam I`s reign (Israel) 22 years
933-916,
982 Rehoboam`s reign (Judah) 17 years 1
Kings 14:21
931** BC Solomon's Death 1 Kings 11:40; The Kingdom is Divided 1 Kings 12, 13
Two sticks northern
tribe has 10 nations and southern tribe has 2 (Judah/Benjamine). The Christians
at Pentecost (28-33 CE) conjoin with the Northern tribe. They are made up from
the lines of Shem, Ham, and Japeth from Noah.
Presently in Pisces
in the Heavens, we have Uranus hopscotching between the horizontal line (10
Northern tribes/Church) in 2015 and the Vertical line (Southern tribe/Judah) in
2017. It fades away in 2018/2019.
Gathering of those
left
Isa 11:12 And
he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of
Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the
earth.
Isa 11:13 The
envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut
off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.
Rev_7:1 And after these things I saw four angels
standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth,
that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
Reference to the 144,000. But what we are after is the four winds.
Mat 24:29 Immediately
after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon
shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers
of the heavens shall be shaken:
Mat 24:30 And
then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the
tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the
clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Mat 24:31 And
he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather
together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
The Day of
Trumpet in 2017 is when the gathering occurs.
God Seeks out His lost Sheep
Ezk 34:11-12; 13,16; Matt
25:31-32. Sheep go to the right and goats go to the left. The Sheep nations
come into the Millennium and are present at the Feast but are not a part of the
bride.
Gather the Two houses Ezek
28:25-26; Jer 31:31-36; Isa 54:7 Jer 23:3, 6
The Families
of Israel Regathered (all 12 tribes)
Jer 31:1-3;
Jer 31:4-7; 31:8-11; 31:31,33. The Torah will be in the hearts of His people in
the Millennium. The Torah will be in the hearts of His people in the New
Covenant.
Regather
Israel Ezek 29:30, 40; 41,42.
House of
Israel and Judah gathered Hos 1:11.
Judah and
Israel gathered before Armageddon on Day of Atonement.
This happens between the Day of Trumpet and
Day of Atonement during the last ten days of humanity.
Joel 3:1; 3:2;
Matt 25:31-32
God gathers
the House of Israel. Zeph 3:19-20; Mic 2:12
God gathers
the House of Judah and Israel (Joseph). Zech 10:6-10
Israel
Gathered and the Entire World. Isa 49:5, 6; Isa 56:8; Isa 49:8, 10= Rev 7:16-17
Jesus: Angels
due the gathering. Matt 13:40-42, 47-49; Mk 13:27; Matt 25:32; Lk 3:17; 2 Thess
2:1.
Bringing Back
Both Houses. Jer 30:3-4, 7
House of
Israel was “Not His People” Jer 30:18, 20, 22
Abrahamic
Covenant was broken by all 12 tribes of Israel so along came the Mosaic
Covenant which was broken so God divorced them and had to remarry them by way
of death so along came Jesus to fulfill the lamb of God. Because of this came
along the Renewed Covenant/Marriage Blood Covenant which some call the New
Covenant but the stipulations for the New Covenant will not be fully fulfilled
until the Millennium after Armageddon on the Day of Atonement.
Hosea 1:10
says “You are not my People”.
Bringing Back
the House of Israel. Ezek 39:22, 23, 27, 28
Gathering of
those left. Isa 26:20; Isa 4:3; =I Thess 4:16-17; The resurrection, gathering,
take, taken, come up, caught up is one year
prior to Armageddon (war) on the Day of Trumpet.
Remember that on the Day of Trumpet, the shophar is blown 99 times. The Last Trumpet is on the
Day of Atonement. So the rapture would occur on either of those two days.
Return in
Wrath is the time after Jacob’s Trouble. Isaiah 24-27 is the Day of the Lord
passages. Isa 26:19-21. Isa 26:20=Psalm 118:5 Isa 26:19-21= Matt 24:31= Rev 11:15=Rev
12:1; Rev 6:12-17; Rev 8:1-7
Coming in Fire
and Gathering His Own. Ps 50:3-5.
Wrath
(Indignation) poured out. Isa 13:4-5; Isa 26; Isa 13:6-8;
Jesus
Reiterates the Wrath of God. Matt 24:29-31. He comes on the Day of Trumpet to
gather the elect.
Certainty and
Precise Timing: Isa 2:19,21; Rev 6:15-17=Rev 8:1-5.
Antichrist
Blasphemies God the Last 42 Months. Isa 2:12-18;
Gruesome Day
of the Lord. Isaiah 24 (Jardalkalataol.blogspot.com). Isaiah 24-27 refers to the Day of the Lord. According to Isaiah, the
Day of the Lord covers and one year period where the Trumpet and Bowl Judgments
and poured out and it ends on the Day of Atonement with Marriage of the Groom
and Bride and Armageddon. Then we have 5 days of Grace and the Millennium
begins on the first annual Sabbath of Feast of Tabernacles. So in essence the
Day of the Lord covers 1001 years. The 8th Day is a New Heaven and a New Earth
(Rev 21-22).
Rebuke and Flames of Fire. II Thess 1:7-8; Isa 66:15-16;
Resurrection, Rapture, Return,…. Post Trib. 1. Your dead shall arise (Awake). 2. Come, my
people, enter your chambers for a little moment, while the indignation passes.
3. The Lord comes out of His chamber to punish the inhabitants for their iniquity
(Isa. 26:19-21).
Deu 24:5 When a man hath taken a
new wife, he shall not go out to war (Armageddon on Day of Atonement), neither
shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home 1 year, and
shall cheer up his wife which he taken. (Rapture either on Day of Trumpet or
Day of Atonement). I do not read 7 years in this verse or even 3.5 years. Can
you prove to me that the 7 year tribulation is in this one verse?
John 6:38, 40, 44, 54 refers to the last
year.
Rev has 3 time frames from Day of Trumpet to Day of Atonement. Rev
2:10 10 days = 10 years, Rev 6:12-11 = 1 year. It begins on the Day of Trumpet
with the rapture and ends on Armageddon on Yom Kippur. It is then followed by 5 days of grace and then the Millennium begins on the first annual Sabbath of Feast of Taberncles.

All of their points are false.
Conclusions: 1. The timing is not a mystery as
pre-trib argues.
2. God will resurrect the elect and gather the elect
unto Himself while the wrath is poured out upon the earth in the last year of
humanity. 3. Always keep Israel central and the pieces fit together. 4. God’s
law will be a part of the Millennium.
