"Ascension Day Rapture?"

Re: Ascension Day Rapture?
 
The more I think about what this angel said, the more I think Ascension Day, Thursday, May 17, 2012, has the best chance of being the day of our Rapture. The number 17 means VICTORY, and someone said the Rapture would be on Thursday.

> > In this vision the Angel and I was walking and came upon a hill.
I looked at the hill and there was some graves in it, they started opening up and people were coming out of them.
I asked the Angel what is this?
He said “it’s the dead in Christ being resurrected, just as God said they would be".
I then saw people floating upward out of their cars and houses but I was not going with them”
I said when will this happen?
He replied “first fruits”
I said Easter?
He said “Yes, it will happen on first fruits just as promised!”
 
As “promised” – when was that? It looks like this promise must be understood because it was acted out for us. Some saints did come out of their graves on Firstfruits.
 
Mat_27:52 says, “And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose”.
 
Ecc_1:9 says, “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.”
 
Joh_5:28 says, “Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice”.
 
1Th 4:16,17  says, ”For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. “
 
 
If not the living, but the dead in Christ are to rise up on Firstfruits, the living wise-virgin saints should rise up on Ascension Day. Why? because Jesus played it out for us.
 
Of Ascension Day, Acts 1:11  says, “ Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. “
 
This coming of Jesus does not seem to be the Second Advent. At that time, he will be riding a white horse, and we will be following him.
 
This coming on Ascension Day seems to be at the time of the First-Trump Rapture. Jesus will come in the air. The wise virgins will rise up, meet the dead in Christ in the clouds, and go on together to meet Christ in the air.
 
I expect to meet Ed in the clouds, then stay with him for the rest of the events that will take place. When married, we became one flesh. My dream of walking with him to a huge building in Heaven where we were served food will probably come true.
 
2Th 2:3,4 says, “ Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (i.e., the Day of the Lord, the Day of God;s Wrath) shall not come, except there come a falling away (i.e., a DEPARTURE, the First-Trump Rapture) FIRST, and that man of sin be revealed (i.e., after the Rapture), the son of perdition;  4  Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, (Mid-Trib) shewing himself that he is God.”
 
Ten days after Jesus ascended, the Holy Spirit descended and indwelt the disciples, empowering them to spread the gospel to the world. It looks like the Holy Spirit will descend again on Pentecost, Sunday, May 27, 2012, to empower the foolish virgins to spread the gospel to the world. The number saved during the Tribulation will be so great that no one can number them (Rev 7:9,14).
