Dear Fellow Doves:

Please take time to read carefully this post.  It is from my heart to yours.

Now is the time to make our election sure.  Brethren and Sisters:  We are rapidly closing in on the event called in the scripture “the rapture”.  It is seen in the Song of Solomon, chapter 6, and specifically verse 12 and following.  The typology is apparent in the Song of Songs.  The stage is set and the actors in this part are:

The daughters of Jerusalem…….Israel, specifically modern regathered Israel
The gentile Shulamite……The Bride of Jesus Christ
The Bridegroom…….the absent shepherd-lover who is Jesus Christ the Lord

The following scriptures are as translated in the King James version of the Holy Bible.

ACT 6, SCENE 1 OF THE SONG OF SONGS

(The Daughters of Jerusalem speak…this is modern Israel)

Whither hast thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women?  Whither has thy beloved turned aside, that we many seek him with thee.  (Jesus the Christ)

(The Bride speaks)

My beloved has gone down into His garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.  I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine; He feedeth among the lilies. (He is in heaven)

(He speaks, praising His beloved Bride to be)

Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners.  Turn away thine eyes from Me; thy hair is like a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.  Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, of which every one beareth twins, and there is none barren among them.  Like a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks.  There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number.  My dove, My undefiled, is but one.  She is the only one of her mother; she is the choice one of her who bore her.  The daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.  Who is she who looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?

(She speaks)

I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished, and pomegranates budded.  Or ever (Before) I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib.  (This is the rapture event)

(The daughters of Jerusalem speak after seeing her taken up)

Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return that we may look upon thee.

(She speaks, evidently from above)

What will ye see in the Shulamite?

(The daughters of Jerusalem respond to her)

As it were the company of two armies.

END OF ACT 6, SCENE 1, OF THE SONG OF SONGS

It is clear to me that in this portion of the Song of Songs the Church will be taken in the chariots of Amminadib.  I looked this term up and found it to mean “my princely willing people (angels?),  From the next verse, it is apparent that it is describing the prince’s servants taking out the gentile girl,  The taker is especially an owner of chariots, the selfsame chariots that took Elijah “in a chariot of fire”? And the fact that the taking out has now occurred is evident in the cry of the Israelites to “return” no less than four times.  Why?  So that they may see her beauty.  Why?  Because they suddenly REALIZE WHAT HAS HAPPENED and the scales have come off their eyes, thereby making them realize that they have been judicially blind for nearly 2,000 years BECAUSE OF THEIR REJECTION OF THEIR MESSIAH.  (See Romans 11:25 “For I would not, brethren (us) that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits:  that blindness in part is happened to Israel until the fullness of the gentiles be come in” (KJV).  (The gentile Bride is now raptured, leaving Israel alone)!!

Finally, get the picture.  The shepherd lover, to whom the gentile girl flew away on the wings of faith has now come for her.  When?  In the SPRING of the year when the grape vine flourishes and the pomegranates are budding.  That, in Israel is MAY on our calendar.  When do we expect a very high watch day?  On the days of Ascension Day, May 17, seven days (call of Noah) before the Day of Pentecost, May 20, and then May 27, 2012, that’s when. 

Finally, I see here the resurrection of the dead in Christ as well as the taking of the living.  Notice verse 13b says not one army, but TWO.  Could these be the dead and the living true Christians, each in its own army?  And if so, does this put a time element between the two, thus creating two armies?  I think so, as I Thessalonians 4:16 says that there is a time element between the two, expressed by Paul as the living REMAINING.  Could it be that Jim Bramlett’s idea that this means Ascension Day for the dead in Christ to be raised and taken, followed 10 days later by Shavout (Pentecost) for the living to be changed and taken?  The remaining time would, in this case be 10 days of course?  And failing that, the 7 days pre-flood call into the ark for Noah, which would be 7 days?

Whatever, with God’s help, I am doing all I can to convince my beloved fellow Christians that time is up.  We must become as serious as a heart attack about surrendering and following our Lord and Savior, Yahushua (Jesus Christ).  He is coming, our shepherd-lover is coming to get us, folks.  Time is up, there will be no more chance in a very short time.  It is now high time to awake as many as we can out of sleep.  Please, Please, Please!!

May God bless everyone of you who loves Yahushua (Jesus Christ) so.  He loves us with an eternal love that never fails or fades away.  The least we must do, is to love him as Peter did in John 21.  Jesus’ love, expressed there, is agape, the highest form.  Our love, like Peter’s is phileo, a step below, which is brotherly love, but we can improve on it as we go, just as the Apostles John, Peter and Paul did, and in the process build our house with gold, or at least silver. (I Corinthians 3:15ff)
