Pentecost and the Rapture of the Church
A Bible Study by Jack Kelley
As a follow-up to last week's article, I've been asked to outline my position supporting the Jewish Feast of Pentecost as a likely day for the Rapture of the Church. Let me begin by repeating that I don't believe the Rapture must necessarily fall on any Jewish Holy Day, but if it should then Pentecost is the most likely and here's why.
Pentecost comes in the early summer (May-June). It's the only Holy Day between the 3 Spring Feasts (Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits) and the 3 in the fall I reviewed last week. Its Hebrew name is Shavuot. Pentecost is a Greek word and translates "50 days" since it comes 50 days from First Fruits, the day we should know as Resurrection Morning (read Solving the Three day Three Night Mystery). The Feast of First Fruits is celebrated on the day following the first Sabbath after Passover and Pentecost on the day after the Sabbath seven weeks later, (Lev. 23:15-16) giving rise to its nickname "Feast of Weeks." Since the Jewish Sabbath is Saturday, both these Holy days are Sundays.

Personal note: Could the rapture happen at Pentecost? I have been speculating about Pentecost being the rapture date. Next year's Pentecost is coming soon & very likely could be the rapture. As i said, 2007 is a very significant year, being 40 yrs from 1967. God will perform His promise surely. We are that generation! God bless you all! Be ready Christians at all times now.
