Enoch raptured on Pentecost?

Enoch may be a type of the church; tradition has it that he was born on Pentecost and raptured on Pentecost! The following are quotes from the below links:

By tradition Enoch, one of the patriarchs from Genesis 5, was born on the day later to be known as Pentecost. Enochâ€™s name means â€œteachingâ€, a primary function of the Church. For this reason many scholars see him as a â€œtypeâ€ of the church as well. Genesis 5:21-23 indicates that Enoch was very close to God and was actually taken live (raptured) into Heaven before the Great Flood. Pre-Trib scholars see this event as hinting of a yet future disappearance of the Church before the Great Tribulation. These same traditions also hold that Enoch disappeared from Earth on his birthday. So hereâ€™s a model in Genesis 5 of a man identified with the church being born and raptured on the day that would become Pentecost, the day the church was born.

Enoch is, for many reasons, one of the most intriguing characters in the Old Testament. There are also several provocative Jewish traditions regarding Enoch. He is regarded as having been born on the day the Jews observe Hag Shavout, the Feast of Weeks, or Pentecost. What is also interesting is that, by tradition, he is also believed to have been "translated" (or "raptured") on his birthday. Since the Church was "born" on this day, one wonders if we, too, will be "raptured" on its birthday!

Re: Enoch raptured on Pentecost?

Pentecost must always occur on Sunday [Biblical mandate].
The Jews changed the calendars after 70 AD so that it was a fixed date, Sivan 6 and not floating [the way it should be!]

This year Pentecost occurs...

Re: Enoch raptured on Pentecost?

This lines up with something the Lord told me about a year ago. I woke up to find my spirit having a conversation with the Lord about the Rapture. The only thing I remembered was the last thing He told me when I asked about the timing: He said, "What was the last holiday that I was with you?" [that's what He called the Jewish festivals, which is appropriate because our English word 'holiday' comes from "holy day"]

I knew that He meant the last festival that He was here physically, and He was insinuating that the Rapture would be on the following festival after that.

Maybe that will be Pentecost? The church was born that day and maybe that is when He takes us home.....just like Enoch.

Hoping!

Dearest EarthAngel - You know, Dr. J.R. Church has said for quite a while that he has always thought that the rapture will happen on Pentecost!! Hope he is right! Love you EarthAngel! Your sister in Christ, Ms. Victor
