Midnight Significance for Rapture Watch!!!

…looking at the timing of midnight being the time of the rapture and other potential insights…

Egypt is a picture of this world: YHWH will go out into the midst of Egypt at midnight

Exodus 11:4And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:Exodus 11:3-5 (in Context) Exodus 11 (Whole Chapter)

Under the law death was required. In Acts the same number of men were saved that were smote by the Lord. Maybe the firstborn stands for firstfruits and under the Chruch/Grace they will be saved instead…

Exodus 12:29And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.Exodus 12:28-30 (in Context) Exodus 12 (Whole Chapter)

I get real excited about this one…Sampson may be a picture of Jesus and he took the doors of the gate of the city – opening a way for us??? – He is mighty to save!!!

Judges 16:3And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before Hebron.Judges 16:2-4 (in Context) Judges 16 (Whole Chapter)

A woman lay at his feet – The Bride!

Ruth 3:8And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.Ruth 3:7-9 (in Context) Ruth 3 (Whole Chapter)
This is where Solomon gives rights of the woman’s child back to her after the 2nd woman had her child die

1 Kings 3:20And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.1 Kings 3:19-21 (in Context)

1 Kings 3 (Whole Chapter)
It sounds like there may be simultaneous death on earth and also “the mighty shall be taken away without hand” – Rapture…

Job 34:20In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.Job 34:19-21 (in Context) Job 34 (Whole Chapter)

Those “mighty” take away will be giving thanks!!!

Psalm 119:62At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.Psalm 119:61-63 (in Context) Psalm 119 (Whole Chapter)

At midnight there is death and also a marriage…

Matthew 25:6And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.Matthew 25:5-7 (in Context) Matthew 25 (Whole Chapter)

A command to watch and also a clue for subsequent raptures???

Mark 13:35Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:Mark 13:34-36 (in Context) Mark 13 (Whole Chapter)

Those left behind outside the door asking for spiritual food…

Luke 11:5And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;Luke 11:4-6 (in Context) Luke 11 (Whole Chapter)

Praising God and the prisoners heard, there was an earthquake, foundations shaken and the bonds loosed…dead in Christ will rise…

Acts 16:25And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.Acts 16:24-26 (in Context) Acts 16 (Whole Chapter)

Maybe this is a last set of instructions for those left behind like Elijah and Elisha???

Acts 20:7And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.Acts 20:6-8 (in Context) Acts 20 (Whole Chapter)

Drew near to some country – the Hebrews 11 country….OUR TRUE COUNTRY!!!

Acts 27:27But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;Acts 27:26-28 (in Context) Acts 27 (Whole Chapter)

More Herod and the Great Ox!

Matthew 2:15

15He remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet

Cross references:

Hosea 11
1 When Israel was a youth I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.

Numbers 24
8 God brings him out of Egypt, he is for him like the horns of a Wild Ox, he will devour the nations who are his adversaries, and will crush their bones in pieces, and shatter them with his arrows.

Wild Ox may be in relation to Taurus and May (not astology, but Gospel of the Stars).

* for those warry to look at anything like this consider – Satan is not a creator but rather a deciever. He did not create the heavens, nor does he have any interest in telling the Gospel. God’s word tells us that we can discern a wicked spirit because it will not testify to Jesus that he died, rose again and sits at the right hand of the Father. So who owns the Heavens, but the one who created it? Israel and with wicked nations worshipped a calf, but I still eat steak. Why? Because God says do not call unclead what I call clean. Reach after God as a lover who is seperated from this great love. “..Perfect love drives out fear…”

Words from “Gospel of the Stars” by Joseph A. Seiss

Beginning on pg. 101

And to this mighty, untamable, and invincible primeval ox the Messiah compares himself in connection with the great judgment upon the wicked world; for then his horn shall be exhalted like the horn of a Reem (Great Ox).

I have already explained that the twelve Zodical signs are arranged in three sets of four each, each set having a particular subject of its own in the grand evangelical history. In the first set we were shown the Seed of the woman in His own personal character and offices. In the second set we were show the formation , career, and destiny of the Church. And in the third set, upon which we now enter, we are shown the great judgment period and the completion of the whole mystery of God respecting our world and race.

paraphrase *

The Bull that is representative of what we know as the Taurus is not correct. It is no normal Bull, but the Reem mentioned in scripture and more firerce and nimble with greater horns – the Mighty and untamable Ox. A wild and mighty Bison, if you will. It stand for judgment. This animal appears in intense rage and charging forward with great power. It is referred to as the Captian or the Mighty Chieftan who commeth.

In mythology Satan has tried to copy this in appearing as a white Bull and enticing Europa.

Among the early nations there was a widespread idea connecting the Bull with the Deluge and the Pleiades – the seven stars, the Doves the peculiar star-cluster of “sweet influences” – with the Ark of Noah and those saved by it in that great judgement. The seven stars also connect with the Church (Rev 1:16; 2:1), are on the back of this Bull, high up on his great sholder. The Pleades, according to the myths, were the seven daughters of Atlas, the upholder of heaven and earth, who, with their sisters, the Hyades, in this Bull’s head, were placed in heaven because of their virtues and mutual sympathy and affection. They beautifully symbolize the saints securely supported by the terrible Judge, and who together with the holy angels whom they are like, thus move with Him and His inflictions upon the guilty world.

Isaiah describes this in prophecy:

“The indignation of the Lord is upon all nations, and His fury upon all their armies. He hath delivered them to the slaughter. Their slain also shall be case out, and the mountians shall be melted out with their blood. The reems (mighty ox and also rendered as unicorns in some texts – the figure we know as Taurus) shall come down, and the bullocks with the bulls, and their land shall be soaked with blood. For it is the day of the Lord’s vengence, and the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion.” (34:2-8)

That’s all for now…

Herod is dead: Time for the Child to return!!!

King Herod’s I “The Great” tomb has been found

http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/may2007/donnad58-1.htm

This is surely prophetically significant. A few quick observations:

They began digging after Jerusalem was won in 1967

They found this in the month of April, Passover month

Herod rebuilt the temple that was used during Jesus’ time. Could the 3rd temple be around the corner.

Last time this guy showed up he was trying to kill the newborn King Jesus. If a firstfruits rapture is about to occur, could “Herod” be appearing on the scene once again to try and kill the Man child (Revelation 12)? (Even if you believe this reference to be Jesus, we are mini-models of Jesus).

Matthew 2:15

He remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet: " OUT OF EGYPT I CALLED MY SON."

Again, knowing we are mini-models of Jesus (Romans 6:5, 1 John 3:2) and are we too not called out of Egypt? We are.

Maybe YHWH is showing us the Tomb of Herod, potentially representing Satan (maybe from a heavenly abode and cast down, so as we go up he shall come down “knowing his time is short”).

Babylon has been thrown down and the recent death of Saddam who was the “King” of Babylon. Babylon represents spiritual power while Egypt represents the world. Jesus started his life in a model. He was taken down to Egypt (earth) and then upon the death of Herod was take “up” to Israel again.

19But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord (B)appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, and said,
20"Get up, take the Child and His mother, and go into the land of Israel; for those who sought the Child's life are dead."
When Saddam was hung I had gone on a trip to Bailey, Co. During this time I saw death, death, death. I felt this was prophetic for what was to soon come to this world (see my website if you want the details: www.tony4yhwh.com ).

We must perceive things spiritually to see what is “going on” in the heavenlies.

Habakkuk 2:4 “…the righteous shall live by faith”
