Pool of Bethesda – Prophetic Message of the Rapture
Many people see the story of Jesus healing at the pool of Bethesda as an indication of Jesus' great compassion for the infirm. But I see a prophetic message in regards to Israel and the closing days of this world commonly called The End Times.
First we must notice that Jesus healed only one person at the pool. This person was crippled for 38 years and could not get up in order to lower himself into the pool to receive a miracle. This clearly represents modern day Israel who is crippled by their unbelief in Jesus Christ as the long awaited messiah.
Notice also that when Jesus arrives the man is 38 years old. This age represents 38 of 40 years in biblical terms for it was 40 days before Satan appeared to Jesus Christ in the desert to tempt him. Equally in the end times Satan will arrive to tempt Israel.... but 2 years before that happens (38 years figuratively) the Jewish people will suddenly be healed of their unbelief in Jesus Christ, meaning they will realize that Jesus Christ IS the true messiah.
But notice that the man that was healed by Jesus Christ searches for him asking about his identity and whereabouts. This isn’t strange if one considers that the realization that Jesus Christ had healed the nation Israel of their unbelief came about because of the rapture! Jesus said he will come in the clouds, in a twinkling of an eye, to rapture his church out of this world just before man's final judgment.
The nation Israel will be healed of their unbelief when Jesus Christ comes for his faithful leaving everyone else to ponder their fate and in a state of frantic searching for Jesus Christ like the man in the story just after Jesus Christ healed him.
So you see the story of Jesus Christ healing the man at the pool of Bethesda is an indication of the rapture of all those who believe in Jesus Christ just before mankind's final judgment. The healed man was 38 years old so if you take the number 38 and divide it into 40 you get .95, meaning the rapture will occur at the 95% mark of some sort of elapsed period of biblical time.
I contend that if you take 95% of 70 you get 66.5 years which is 3.5 years short of 70. If you start with the official date of the birth of the nation Israel at 5-14-1948 and add 70 years you get 5-14-2018 and therefore the rapture will occur some 3.5 years before that date around December 14th, 2014. Of course this is conjecture but, if true, shows that the rapture is indeed very near!
Believe in Jesus Christ as the true messiah and be included in the rapture that will soon become a reality!
Matthew 24:36
New International Version (NIV)
The Day and Hour Unknown
36“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Luke 21:29-31
New International Version (NIV)
29 He told them this parable:“Look at the fig tree and all the trees.30 When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. 31 Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.
