‘Therefore I will return and take back My Grain [Wheat] in its Season (Harvest), and My New Wine at its Appointed Time, and I will Snatch-Away [‘Rapture’] My Wool and My Linen for covering her Nakedness’. -Hosea 2:9

So, when will the Rapture occur? Does the Bible give any Clues or Typologies? One would argue, ‘Yes’. And to all those that regurgitate, ‘No one knows the Day or the Hour?’ One is convinced that the Context of what Jesus described and prescribed was pertinent to the Questions asked by the Disciples. And those Questions were, when will the Kingdom be set-up and when would Jesus return. The Notion of the Church Age or the Concept of a 2000-Year Pentecostal Commission was not at the forefront of their Jewish Minds, at that Time and Place.
 

One would argue that the Olivet Discourse was a ‘Retro’ – Future Exposé, absent of the Pentecostal Intermission. It was and is, as an Equation where Point A is connected to Point C but Point B is not determined or is the Unknown Factor, at the Time. Nonetheless, an example of how one can surmise, as a possible Typology of the Rapture can be ascertained from the Passages found in Hosea 2:9 and Amos 8. One found the Verse in Hosea rather interesting. It speaks about one’s Major Rapture Talking Points, one would say; Wheat Harvest, New Wine, etc.
 

1. It speaks about a Return, and that is what the Bride is waiting for, i.e., the Blessed Hope and that Door of Escape, a la Philadelphia when Jesus returns.
 

2. It speaks about the Season of that Return, when the Grain ripens and is to be Harvested.
 

3. It speaks about the New Wine, at the ‘Appointed Time’ and the Grain that is associated with the New Wine is the Wheat, which one has been on it for several Years now.
 

4. This Person returning on a Wheat Harvest Season and New Wine Time is to ‘Rapture’ away his Wool and Linen to Cover the ‘Nakedness’ of a Woman. It is the Glorification of the Body.
 

As one can see, has it not been due to Sin that what caused Adam and Eve to see their Nakedness? And was it not the ‘Clothing’ of YHVH’s Light that did cover them before being stripped of it by Lucifer’s Deceptions and Lies? Now what that Covering was, is debatable and some have suggested that it was some sort of Shekinah Glory Type of Light, the very Presence of YHVH, etc. So, perhaps his Passage from the Old Testament is another Clue as to the Timing of the Rapture Typology and what the Running Theme will end-up being. It will be the Restoration, the Covering of the Body. 

The Atomic Metamorphosis
The entire Book of Hosea is about redeeming the ‘Wayward Wife’. And one does believe that the Rapture can be ‘Missed’. As it pertains to a Bride, who ‘Makes herself Ready’, no unfaithful and cheating Bride is Jesus rapturing to Himself. Did not Jesus warn that on Judgment Day, those precise Words would be coming from Believers in Jesus, who cast out Devils, Preached in His Name?

Yet Jesus called them 'Workers of Iniquity' and who did not have a Relationship with Jesus, etc. They were not accepted, unconditionally as the 'Bride' of Christ nor ended-up marrying Jesus. Of course, most who subscribe to the Rapture believe that it is ‘Unconditional’, regardless of one’s Relationship to Jesus. And that any attempt to qualify it, falls under the Domain of ‘Works’. To be clear, ‘Once Saved, Always Saved’. 

But did not the Apostle Paul teach and instruct to ‘Work-out your Salvation’? The issue is what one? The Justification? That is already done. The Glorification? That is yet Future and what one contends, is subject to one’s Present Salvation. It is that of the Sanctification of one’s Soul. How Holy is one becoming? Presently, no one, despite being Saved, exists in Sinless Perfection. The issue is will one stay in that Condition or avail oneself of the Understanding of such Verses as in I John 1:8-10
 

‘If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us’. 

Such just see it as part of the Salvation, all-inclusive, which it is and it is Jesus’ Will and Expectation that one will participate in it. But one is more convinced it is contingent upon one’s Sanctification, presently. One just sees it as disrespecting those that ‘Made themselves Ready’ as that is how Jesus commanded and expected the Bride to be. So, Jesus coming for His Bride will be invisible to the World, but what an Event that will be.

It will match how the GOD the Holy Spirit came down and was manifested as the Tongues of Fire, of Light, of Energy, of an ‘Atomic’ Energy that will occur again at the Conclusion of the Church Age. Afterall, the Church Age has been a 2000 Year-Long Dispensation of Power that was promised by Jesus. One was contemplating the ‘Transformation’ or the Changing that will take place at the Rapture, at a ‘Moment’ or an ‘Instance’. In the Greek, that Word for, ‘In a Moment’ is where one gets the Word for Atom from.

‘Listen, I tell you a Mystery: We will not all Sleep, but we will all be Changed— in an Instant, in the Twinkling of an Eye, at the Last Trumpet. For the Trumpet will sound, the Dead will be raised Imperishable, and we will be Changed’. -1 Corinthians 15:51-52

ἐν >>> ἀτόμῳ <<<  ἐν ῥιπῇ ὀφθαλμοῦ ἐν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ σάλπιγγι· σαλπίσει γάρ καὶ οἱ νεκροὶ ἐγερθήσονται ἄφθαρτοι καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀλλαγησόμεθα. GREEK 15:52 

Judgment comes in the Summer
According to the Strong’s G823 Designation, the Greek Word for ‘In a Moment’, is ‘Atomos’. It is that which cannot be cut in 2, or divided, indivisible or of a Moment of Time. See https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/g823/kjv/tr/0-1. 

It is a Measure of Time or Quantity. In other words, consider that one has been promised a Glorified Body like Jesus has presently. It can walk through Walls, Appear and Reappear at will and travel to and from Heaven at the Speed of Thought. It will not Die and will never get sick or corrupt. Above all, it will not be infused Genetically with the Adamic Sinful Nature any longer.
 

For example, one must realize that at the Resurrection, Jesus walked right through the Sealed Tomb guarded by the Roman Guards. It was only on Sunday Morning, when the Women had come, attempting to properly prepare the Body of Jesus for the Permanent Tomb Burial. It was then that there was an Earthquake and Angels came down and rolled the Stone away. 

Now realize that it has been studied, that at the Time of Jesus’ Resurrection, His Body ‘Exploded’ with such Energy and Light, that it fused the Impression of His Body onto the Shroud, into the very Fibers. And it has been calculated that to do that, it would have required an Atomic Type and Level of Energy to do so. And that is what will occur at the Resurrection-Rapture Event. One’s Body will be ‘Changed’ or Transformed, at the Atomic Level.
 

Jesus will miraculously change the DNA Structure to be able to have such a ‘Glorified’ Body as He has. One cannot wait for that. This is why at the Resurrection-Rapture, it will be about ‘Going Nuclear’, literally. One’s Body will experience such Light and Energy as one is Snatched-Up and Transformed by the Time one reaching the Rendezvous Meeting Place in the Clouds to meet Jesus there, ‘for we shall see Him as He is’.

Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him. 2Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is. 3And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as Christ is pure’. -1 John 3:1-3

The Basket of Summer Fruit

1This is what the LORD GOD showed me: I saw a Basket of Summer Fruit. 

2 Amos, what do you see? He asked. A Basket of Summer Fruit, I replied. So the LORD said to me. The End has come for My People Israel; I will no longer spare them.

3 In that Day, declares the Lord GOD, the Songs of the Temple will turn to Wailing. Many will be the Corpses, strewn in silence everywhere!

4 Hear this, you who trample the Needy, who do away with the Poor of the Land, 

5 asking, When will the New Moon be over, that we may sell Grain? When will the Sabbath end, that we may Market Wheat? Let us reduce the Ephah and increase the Shekel; let us cheat with Dishonest Scales. 

6 Let us buy the Poor with Silver and the Needy for a Pair of Sandals, selling even the Chaff with the Wheat! 

7 The LORD has sworn by the Pride of Jacob: I will never forget any of their Deeds. 

8 Will not the Land quake for this, and all its Dwellers mourn? All of it will swell like the Nile; it will surge and then subside like the Nile in Egypt. 

9 And in that Day, declares the LORD GOD, I will make the Sun go down at Noon, and I will darken the Earth in the Daytime. 

10 I will turn your Feasts into Mourning and all your Songs into Lamentation. I will cause everyone to wear Sackcloth and every Head to be shaved. I will make it like a Time of Mourning for an only Son, and its outcome like a Bitter Day. 

11 Behold, the Days are coming, declares the Lord GOD, when I will send a Famine on the Land—not a Famine of Bread or a thirst for Water, but a Famine of hearing the Words of the LORD. 

12 People will stagger from Sea to Sea and roam from North to East, seeking the Word of the LORD, but they will not find it. 

13 In that Day the Lovely Young Women—the Young Men as well—will faint from Thirst. 

14 Those who swear by the Guilt of Samaria and say, As surely as your God lives, O Dan, or, As surely as the Waye of Beersheba lives - they will fall, never to rise again.

-Amos 8:1-14

So, how is the Verse from Amos 8 possibly tied to the Rapture Event? Consider that when the Rapture occurs, one is convinced it will also serve as a Divine Sign for the Jews. When all the Bible-Believers will be physically removed from Earth, there will be a Spiritual Famine and a Vacuum that then the AntiChrist and the False Prophet will gladly come in to fill. And if the Resurrection-Rapture occurs at the Summer, it would be emblematic and ironic in how the Plenty that will be the harvested Believers in Jesus will contrast the Famine of those left behind.
 

Do doubt, any Material that propagates the True Gospel and the Deity of Jesus will be considered Contraband and shut down. Thanks to A.I., the surveillance of any Online Presence that will seek to give the Biblical Account of what caused the Disappearance of Millions, all Bible Believers that Jesus was and is GOD in the Flesh will be persecuted to the point of Death, Capital Punishment. This will be thanks to the Noahide Laws that one is convinced will be implemented and enforced by the World Ruling Jewish Court, headed-up by the Sanhedrin that has become the Synagogue of Satan.

Glorification of the Body

So, in Summary, one is excited to be reminded of such Verses, even in the Old Testament that carry the Summer Wheat and Wine Typology that one ascribes, could very well be ‘Clues’ to the Rapture’s Timing. It is when Jesus is to return. This means He has come already once. And that YHVH comes at the Harvest of the Wheat and Wine to Rapture-Away the Woman that is ‘Naked’. It is at that Place and Time that she is covered by Christ’s Glory.

Is that not what the last Facet of the Salvation Jesus procured will be all about at the Rapture Event? It will be about being covered and the Glorification of the Body. The Glorification of the Body corresponds to Pentecost. It is when one will receive the ‘New Wine Skins’ of the New Glorified Body. 

And that is exciting then to realize because the New Wine is when one calculates the True Pentecost of Acts 2 and when the Church Age will end as it began and one’s Body, the last remaining part of our Salvation will be the Glorification of the Body. It was brought to one’s Attention how the Boaz and Ruth Rapture Typology is that of the ‘Secret Rapture’ innuendo. One would agree. According to Jewish tradition, Ruth was with Boaz the night of Pentecost.

If so, then the other Key Clue that the True Month of Pentecost is not June but July, as that is when the Summer Wheat Harvest concludes. Or it as Amos 8 describes, the Summer Basket of Fruit, etc. And how the Rapture of the Bride of Christ will be an Invisible, an Instantaneous Occurrence. It will rock the World and its Psyche. It will be a ‘Secret Rapture’. But will it actually occur at Pentecost as one is convinced of? See what the Words of Boaz were and said to Ruth, the Bride to be.

‘Stay here tonight, and in the Morning, if he wants to redeem you, good. Let him redeem you. But if he does not want to redeem you, as surely as the LORD lives, I will. Now lie here until Morning. So she lay down at his Feet until Morning, but she got up before anyone else could recognize her. Then Boaz said, Do not let it be known that a woman came to the Threshing Floor. 1And he told her, Bring the Shawl you are wearing and hold it out. When she did so, he shoveled 6 Measures of Barley into her Shawl. Then he went into the city.’ -Ruth 2:13-15

‘So Ruth stayed close to the Women of Boaz to glean until the Barley and Wheat Harvests were finished. And she lived with her Mother-in-Law. -Ruth 2:23

A Measure typically refers to a specific Quantity used in Cooking. In the Bible, the Hebrew term for a measure of barley is the ‘Omer’. The Omer was a unit of dry measure used in ancient Israel, and it was equivalent to about 2.3 liters or approximately 0.6 gallons. Notice that it is Boaz, as the Type of Jesus, the Redeemer that fills her Shawl with 6 Measures of Barley. It is akin to the 6 empty Vessels of Wine at the Wedding of Cana.
 

6 Measures x 2.3 Liters = ~14 Liters or almost 30 Pounds or 3 Gallons of Milk.
 

The Number 6 is the Number of Man and how Humanity is ‘Empty’, Destitute and unredeemable without the ‘Greater Boaz’ that is willing to Redeem the Type of Ruth, an Innuendo of Eve having become ‘Empty’, etc. But it is Jesus, who is the First Fruit of the Barley, when He rose from the Dead that can fill one’s ‘Shawl’. Naomi is the Type of Eve, the Mother of Man that left the Covenant of Eden or ‘Israel’, the Promised land and went East of Eden, to Moab.
 

Her Sons married Moabite, and upon the Death of the Men, repented and returned to her Lineage and Inheritance. But in this case the Daughter-in-Law, a Gentile became what the Promised Seed of Eve Redeemed. As Israel rejected the Kinsman Redeemer, the Son of the Father married the ‘Moabite’. And that is what Jesus came to do, not only redeem Israel or Naomi but acquired a Gentile Bride in the Deal. Jesus was willing.
