    Psalm 40:1-4

    (To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.) I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

    2He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

    3And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

    4Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

    This is; as I see it an OT reference to the Rapture. We see here how others see and fear when we are lifted out of the miry clay which sounds a lot like the Rapture or Resurrection to me. We see a new song much like in Revelation as well and the end of verse 3 is certainly exciting as to ramifications for the rest of the earth and many coming to faith after we depart.

    As to the timing of the Rapture Rosh Hashanah is an intriguing and likely possibility. We read in 1 Corinthians 15:52

    52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. If this is true we don't know the year; and the day and hour is signified by the Jews sighting the New Moon which could vary a couple days depending on weather; etc. If it is this year we only have a couple months...

    I am ending this study for now rather abruptly as for now I have said what I feel the Lord would have me state. Indeed there are things like the Mark of the Beast which I have elaborated on before that no doubt warrant further exploration but for now I think it is best to meditate and see where our hearts are in regard to preparation for His return this side of the Rapture.

    I will add a word of warning that none of us should be presumptive. We see wicked dying everyday (won't mention who was famous that passed today) but you get my point. God chastises all those He loves ( Rev. 3:19 spoken to the Laodiceans)
