‘Come, my People, enter your Chambers, and shut your Doors behind you. Hide yourselves for a Little While until the Fury has passed by. For behold, the LORD is coming out from His Place to punish the Inhabitants of the Earth for their Iniquity, and the Earth will disclose the Blood shed on it and will no more cover its Slain’. -Isaiah 26:20-21

The purpose of this study is to consider a possible Chiastic Pattern as to the linkage between the Rapture event, if any with the understanding and timing of, ‘As in the Days of Noah’. One too has pondered over the meaning of, ‘As in the Days of Noah’. Many suggest that the Rapture analogy and timing sequence are tied to the Flood of Noah. And how it will in terms of the Tribulation to come. But is the idiom insinuating the Rapture event or the 2nd coming? Is it the Epiphaneia or the Parousia? The Bible teaches that, ‘For in the Days before the Flood, People were Eating and Drinking, Marrying and giving in Marriage, up to the Day Noah entered the Ark’. -Matthew 24:37.

One major distinguishing factor that confirms Humanity has entered the ‘Days of Noah, is the ‘Giving into Marriage’ innuendo. The clue here is that at no other time after the Flood has a ‘different type’ of Marriage been sanctioned or ‘Given’, except that of Same-Sex now, etc. So, does the Noah scenario concern the Bride of Christ and the possible timing of the Rapture? Yes and no. Here are some Biblical Rabbit Holes and tidbits that this study will present in a ‘Big Picture’ point of view. This study will also point out that what did and does reoccur is the central numerical value of ‘6’, the Number of Man.

For the purposes of this study, a timeline will be presented since Adam. Thus, one can see from that time how, Mankind was created on the 6th Day. And it ends with a 666 coefficient. The timeline will use the 6-Days plus the 7th Day Creation Model. Here is the point of the study. Noah entered the Ark with Family on his 600th Year with a 7-Day lead time or Precursor. If one then applies a 1 Day = 1 Year, is a possible Chiastic Fold occurring? And one that does then tie the Flood of Noah to the Rapture event? How so? How at the 6000th Year of Humanity since Adam, the Church Age ends but not before the 7-Year Precursor to Daniel’s 70th Week of Years begins.

Also realize that the Last Week of Daniel has been interrupted by the very fact that the Church Age has been a 2-Day segment of the 6000 Year timeline, by design all along. From Adam to Noah, 2 Day or 2000 Years. From Noah to Jesus, 2 Days or 2000 years. From Jesus to Kingdom, 2 Days or 2000 Years, etc. The Church Age too, has follows the same Creation 7-Day to Year Pattern with 7 Church Types that correlate to its 7 historical times. Presently the World and the Church is in the last, that of Laodicea.

Which ‘Appearing?
If the timeline presented is of any accuracy, then indeed, the 6th Day or the 6000th Year is on the verge of being completed, as it has been ~2022 years now since Jesus. But consider that there is an issue with this, as the timeline is set to Year ‘0’, that does not exist nor was Jesus born on that ‘0’ Year. And that in terms of Calendars, it is believed by many that from Adam to Noah, time was clocked by a 354-Day Calendar, Enoch’s. Then after the Flood, the change of Earth’s cataclysmic dynamics caused the Calendar to be on a 365-Day Calendar. Then there are the discrepancies of conversions from a Julian to a Gregorian, etc. The point? There are ‘Years’ that do not then synchronize to the exact 6000-Year to 6 Day correlation. But for the purpose of this study, one is considering the principle of the 7-Day Creation Pattern as 1 Day equals 1000 Year.

And this then synchronizes or will all the Calendars at Jesus’ 2nd coming, as they all have to converge at that point in time. And the Rapture event? Will it possibly ‘mirror’ that numerical factor of ‘6’? How so? Based on one’s understanding, one can see, to an extent that the Rapture event will be like the Noah Flood scenario. It is or will be of a coming Judgment or ‘Rain never seen or endured by Humanity before. But realize that the Rapture event will not be that ‘Judgment’ upon the World. Now, it will be a sort of ‘Indictment’ as it is and will be the ‘Canary in the Coal Mine’ for Israel and the World. Of what? That Judgments is sure to come through the last Week of Years, per Daniel. But the following Check List can be reviewed to see if the conditions exist now as for Noah.

1. Genesis 6:5
Wickedness of Man was great. Check.
Every inclination of the Thoughts and Heart were and are toward Evil. Check.

2. Genesis 6:8
Noah found Favor or ‘Grace’ in the Eyes of YHVH? As it is now in the Age of Grace. Check.

3. Genesis 7:11
Noah was 600 Year Old when the Flood happened. The Church Age + 7-Year Tribulation Week will close out the 6000-Year Dispensation of Human History since Adam? Check.

4. Matthew 16:27
Jesus will return in a Full Display of Glory and with the Angels to pay back all People for their Good and Bad. Ok. At the 2nd Coming, not the Rapture.

5. Matthew 24:3
Certain Signs will precede the 2nd coming, mainly the described events of Revelation after Chapter 4. Check.

6. Matthew 24:27
The coming of Jesus will be like the brilliance of a Flash in the Sky. Check. At the 2nd Coming, not the Rapture.

7. Matthew 24:30
Jesus will appear to all the People of the Earth; the Earth will mourn as will Israel in Zechariah. Check. At the 2nd Coming, not the Rapture.

The Proverbial Door is About to Close
But one does think there is a Rapture linkage still to the Days of Noah. In researching and cross-referencing the innuendoes, it is clear that the ‘As in the Days of Noah’ can be conclusively understood to infer to Jesus’ 2nd coming, the Parousia. In contrast to the ‘Appearing’ or Epiphaneia of Jesus at the Rapture, there are 2 different Greek words. So, one can, with certainty conclude that the ‘As in the Days of Noah’ will be fulfilled at Jesus 2nd Coming, not at the Rapture event. Now, what about the Rapture connection, possibly still? Will, if one takes liberty in this Noah Biblical Analogy, it is understood that Noah and Family were instructed to ‘enter in the Ark’, 7 days prior. Ok. The Ark became a ‘Chamber of Refuge’, like a Sukkah. With this typology, perhaps one can correlate that before the 2nd Coming of Jesus, that will be in ‘7 Day or 7-Year Judgment. How so?

There will likewise be that 7-Days or Week of Years that those found in Grace’ are ‘Covered’ from as Isaiah 26 teaches. This would be an argument for the Pre-Tribulation Rapture for one, but it also suggests a possible timing. That the ‘entering in’ would be on the year or Day before the 7-Day duration before the ‘Rain’ of Judgment started to fall as the Door that has been open for 2000 years since Jesus is closed at the Time of the Resurrection and Rapture event. Realize the gravity of how during the Church Age, it has been the time of Grace. And how People, the World, the Church, and Israel have largely ignored, ridiculed, dismissed this amazing provision and opportunity.

But, if the Biblical Analogy is also in proportion to only those that entered the Ark, then those Raptured, will be minuscule in comparison to the whole Earth’s population of 7+ billion People, sadly ‘As in the Days of Noah’. So, what one is saying and suggesting, as others have is that in terms of the teaching of the timing in relationship to the Days of Noah and the Rapture, the Days of Noah are specifically alluding to the Physical manifestation of Jesus. The Rapture event can be seen as connected to that 7-Day Waiting Period, within the Ark or ‘Chamber of Refuge’. This is the Chiastic Pattern then.

But that, prior to the fulfillment of the 6000-Year conclusion of Man’s 7000-Year History, patterned after Creation Week, however that may be calculated or attained, and despite various human Calendar discrepancies, a 7-Year Precursor has to conclude that ‘Day’ or ‘Year’. And this 7-Days of Noah to the 7-Years finishing-up the Church Age before concluding Daniel’s Week correlation, could be the direct link to the timing of the Rapture then, perhaps. Meaning? That whenever that 6000th Year is marked, with the 7-Tribulation forerunner. In turn, it could mean that the Rapture would happen either just before or on that year, the 7-Year Week of Years is to start in that Fall.

As to the Day and the Hour of the Rapture? Those are the Unknowable Variables. Moreover, one is convinced that this stipulation said by Jesus does not pertain to the Rapture, as that was not a Mystery yet revealed, not even to Israel. Now, it has been stated, that the Prophet Elijah was given the Day and the Hour though of his ‘Rapture’ True. But one is of the opinion and interpretation that the whole, ‘As in the Days of Noah’ as interpreted to the Disciples by Jesus on the Sermon on the Mount of Matthew 24 pertains to Daniels’ Week. It is the central theme. Why? There are literally amazing and precise inferences that will occur again in the last Shemitah before Jesus returns.

Why Dispensational Overlap?
During the coming last 7-Day or 7-Year Week of Daniel, there is to be a Statue, the Number 666, Fiery Trials, Judgment pertaining to Daniels’ People, Nation and Temple, not the Bride of Christ, etc. In Daniel’s time, the Fire was set to 7 times hotter but Daniel himself was not present as ‘type’ of the Beloved Bride. The Bride was and is a Mystery’ to Israel and the World, to this day. It was only later revealed to the Apostle Paul by Jesus, the Groom. Here then is another possible link to the timing of the Rapture. Why Paul? As it has been commented with some incredible insight, the question came up, ‘When did the Church Age begin?

As it was suggested, one could make several arguments that all could touch upon when the Age of Grace began. Knowing that, one can then conjecture its end. It could since Jesus was born, as it was foretold that ‘Grace and Mercy’ would visit the Earth one day. And that happened at the moment Jesus was born. It was a ‘Game Changer’ as they say. But this might be a stretch. Then there is the argument that the Church Age stared the moment Jesus breathed His last on the Cross of Calvary. And that, as the Last Adam, the Bride was ‘created’, as Adam from His pierced side as His Blood and Water poured out to purchase her. Ok.

Then there is the argument that the Church Age began when Jesus rose from the Grave, as that fulfilled and satisfied the Judicial requirements of the Law that demanded Death as a payment. Thus, now a time of Grace going forward. But the Daily Sacrifices were still being observed and this was a time of Overlap, where you had National Israel still co-existing with the Body of Christ on Earth. Which is the case now, by the way. This is the other clue of the validity of the 7-Day to 7000 Year timeline. How so? This Prophetic Overlap has not been seen since 70 AD, when the Daily Sacrifices ceased. But both ‘Bodies have now co-existed since 1948.

What one does know for certainty, is that the Bible teaches, that regardless of the ‘Beginning’ and the ‘End’ of the Church Age will be, it is divided into 7 segments of time. So, there is a set day and time to each Church, as mentioned of the 7-Cruches of Asia and are thus pegged to a Calendar. It is Christ Jesus who is ultimately the Time Keeper. Then, the other argument is that the Church Age stared on Pentecost after the Ascension of Jesus and with the specific promise to return. At which time, His feet would once again touch the Mount of Olives from where He went up. Notice, that this is still in reference to Matthew 24 and the Olivet Discourse.

In that it is still in the preview of National Israel as that will be the time when the Kingdom will be set-up on Earth and from Jerusalem. And how the 12 Disciples will then Judge the 12 Tribes of Israel, etc. So, what does that leave for the Bride and the Church Age to end its Commission? When did and what the event actually start the Time Clock for the Church Age? Here is a possible connection dealing with Paul. How so? Consider his journey on the Road to Damascus. In how he sought to kill and eradicate the People of the Way, the Followers of Jesus at that time. He had a ‘Flash’ and an Encounter there with Jesus as He appeared to Saul. Now here is the point, Jesus then commissioned Paul, specifically to go to the World, to the Gentiles.

Sudden Destruction
In that the ‘Salvation is of the Jews’ would now be legally extended, by Grace and Mercy as Jesus Christ bestowed now ‘Favor’ as in the Days of Noah, to Noah and Household. And this means would be through the Preaching of the Gospel to the Gentiles. That Salvation would be based, not on the Law that Kills but on Grace that Saves and gives Life, and that of Eternal Life. This is something amazing and spectacular that has made Israel envious and jealous of. And to realize that they ‘Missed the Boat’ in forfeiting the place and honor of being the ‘Bride’ of Christ by rejecting their Messiah, Jesus. This is much like Esther took the place of the prideful Queen, etc.

At no previous time was there any inclination on the part of Jesus, hinted to the Disciples to reach out to the Gentiles, as an official long-term Commission. They were ‘Israel-Centric’ and had nothing to do with the Gentiles. Even in the book of Acts, Peter still struggled, as a Jew to see the Gentiles now as ‘Clean’. But it was already part of the Plan. To the Jewish Disciples of Jesus and frame of mind, Salvation and the Gospel were ‘To the Jew’…and only. There was not, ‘And then to everyone else’. Thus, one could argue that the Church Age began that 1st Day Paul was Commissioned personally by Jesus or when Paul started to outreach to the Gentiles. But when was that specifically?

Now this is where it gets ambiguous and will lead on to other Biblical Rabbit Holes. How so? Well, how can one determine what day that was? Was it after Paul came back from Arabia, being gone for 14 years, in ‘training’? Or was it when he started his 1st Missionary Journey and had his first Gentile Convert. And would be Lydia by the way in Europe. Or the day his ‘Scales’ fell off his Eyes as Ananias Laid Hands on him after 3 days and Paul’s vision was restored? In all this, the Isaiah 17 Prophecy comes to mind. It could be the missing clue as to the timing of when the Church Age ends, as it was from that time, forward that the outreach to the Gentiles began officially.

What if a ‘Flash’ is likewise to occur and ‘Blind’ the Jews as they either Nuke or Smart Bomb Damascus one day? It would correlate to how the language regarding the Rapture event is described as being accompanied or to occur in a day that Great Destruction will be occurring simultaneously. Perhaps as the events of La Palma Island that is very intriguing is to concern with the coming Judgment of the World, could the single event of Damascus being destroyed overnight, per Isaiah 17 be that ‘Flash’ for the Bride of Christ? Geo-Politically, it is only a matter of time before the Israeli IDF will do just that.

This is based on the threat Iran, who is embedded in Syria poses to the survival of the Jewish Nation. The complete overnight destruction of Damascus may not be or be a worldwide event, but perhaps this Isaiah 17 ‘Flash’ is just what it will be and provide the timing of the Rapture event itself. It was just 1 ordinary day, that a Zealous Pharisee took a journey to Damascus and it seemed uneventful and/or inconsequential. Well, if the Isaiah 17 Destruction of Damascus overnight is to be tied to the Day of the Rapture, regardless, the Resurrection and Rapture event will signal the end of the Age of Grace. It will be, ‘As it was in the Days of Noah’. And with that destruction, it will be but a precursor of how then 7 Years will follow of the ‘Rain’ of Judgment upon the whole Earth, but not before the start of that ‘Rain’, those found to have Favor or Grace, end the Dispensation on the 600th Year as they are Chambered-up 7-Days or 7-Years before the Door of Grace is finally closed for good.

STRONG’S TRIBULATION YEARS
RAPTURE YEAR 2021
A Correlation of Year-To-Meaning Study 2022-2029

Is there a correlation between Strong's Numbers and Years?
Does a Year-to-Meaning study suggest the Year of the Rapture?
If so, what does the timeline 2022-2029 suggest is conveying?

Eventually, just on the Law of Probability, one day, a proposed Rapture Date will coincide. Not one to judge any other’s predictions or calculations about the Rapture date, but it is unknowable. What is the difference between such and one like myself and/or that seeks to study the Rapture time sequence?

I for one, only suggest a possible ‘Season’ and do not go beyond Scripture and only what is given as pieces of the puzzle. But one can never say with 100% certainty. No one can. That is why is hesitated in even sharing this Dream about the 723 that could possibly be tied to the Rapture. It is the only time I have ever shared this, and do feel uncomfortable because in my boo, in doing so, then one has crossed over onto the ‘Wild Side’! Thanks Bob. But maybe sometimes a ‘walk on the wild side’ is needed? Nope. Lol Just to say to be careful of the teachings coming from that channel.

It is very interesting though as around this time of the Feast Cycles, the Watchers do start to pick-up on the prophetic type of Tu B’Av or the Jewish ‘Valentines Day’. And that it occurs on the Full Moon. Did not Gary or Jeff at Unsealed.org write-up that if and when the Rapture does take place, that it would be at a Full Moon? Well, as mentioned, the ‘dream’/vision did/does seem interesting and perhaps a prompting but maybe it is a dress rehearsal run-through or to suggest the Season or Time is near.

This time last year, precisely we had also discussed the Prophetic implications and types of the Minor Feast. It is a type of the Rapture, for sure… literally as the Maidens dancing in the Vineyards were ‘snatched’ away, etc. We’ll have to see what pans-out on the 23rd. The Feast does start on that 23rd Sunset, if one counts and goes by the Jewish day count. I read the article about Tu B’Av, the 15 of Av and how it officially starts the Grape Harvest to end on the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. It lends credence to how then ‘when Pentecost fully came’ was then the Feast of New Wine. So, I really like all the prophetic correlations as you mentioned.
