Most Bible teachers have long recognized the prophetic nature of the Feasts in Israel's liturgical calendar. The Hebrew prophets themselves spoke of future aspects regarding the Feast of Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles. The apostle Paul also spoke of the festivals as "a shadow of things to come" (Colossians 2:16, 17). Because of this many have sought to find a celebration which would fit the Rapture of the Church. There has, no doubt, been a lot of speculation and confusing use of Scriptures in this area of study. A few Bible teachers have suspected that the Feast of Pentecost better fits an application to the Rapture of the Church. However, because of certain unanswered questions they have hesitated to make that application. I believe that in this study you will find the right answers to those questions. Not only was the Church born at the precise time of the Offering of the Wave-loaves on Pentecost, but there are many other features about this Feast which typify the present Church dispensation. Certain features in this investigation demonstrate that Pentecost is the only Feast day which was looked upon by Jewish teachers as a "mystery" Feast, a Feast which was identified with a time of Gentile redemption. In fact, we shall see that the apostle Paul uses terminology pointing to the Feast of Pentecost and to the Offering at Pentecost in regards to the future resurrection of the Church. We will also discover that this is the only Feast on Israel's liturgical calendar which could typify the Rapture of the Church and at the very same time not be subject to the error of "date setting" in terms of its prophetic fulfillment. In other words, we shall find that a Pentecostal Rapture of the Church does not violate the principle doctrine of "imminence" in connection with the expectancy of the Rapture coming of Christ. Early in his ministry, Jack W. Langford stepped outside the traditional man-made religious organizations of Christendom and served the only Church that Christ is building-"the body of Christ" (1 Cor. 12;13 and Eph. 4:1-4). He exemplified a Bible teaching ministry, conducted radio programs, held public discussions with both atheists and cult leaders, and traveled to several different countries in the service of Christ. For the last twenty years, he has researched and written many Biblical studies on a wide variety of subjects. Many are available at www.SeparationTruth.com. Other books are: The Gap Is Not A Theory The Day Christ Died As Our Passover The Fire That Is Eternal The Threefold Order of the Resurrection of the Righteous

This is a Bible study that will focus upon a long neglected passage of Scripture- 1 Corinthians 15:20-28. This passage from the apostle Paul is actually a divinely inspired outline or blueprint of the different "orders" or "companies" of saints involved in the resurrection of the righteous-those who have been saved throughout the ages and in the future as well. Of course, all believers anticipate their personal bodily resurrections from the dead as guaranteed by our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. However, this passage in 1 Corinthians 15 informs us that the saved of earth will not all be resurrected at the same time and in the same event. Paul revealed that there are three different "orders" or "companies" to be resurrected at three distinct times and in three separate events. Many theologians have shown confusion and hesitancy in their abilities to interpret this passage. Consequently, in the discussion about the soon coming Rapture of the Church, most seem to avoid any careful use of this passage. Sad to say, the passage has literally been "set on the shelf," as it were, in the discussion of the pretribulational or posttribulational Rapture of the Church. In this study, you will find that this passage is actually far more useful and strategic in the determination of the issues than anyone has ever realized. We know from the Hebrew Scriptures that God required all Israel to appear before Him three times in the year at what has been designated as the "Three Harvest Feasts." In a similar manner, the apostle Paul taught that the resurrection (or harvest, 1 Cor. 15:35-38) of the righteous dead to appear before God will be in three distinct stages or "each in his own order" (1 Cor. 15:23). We shall see that these "orders" were designed by the Spirit of God to fit perfectly the parallel of the sequence of the three designated Harvest Feasts. Early in his ministry, Jack W.

The following Bible studies contain a reservoir of informati on concerning the natureof man and diff erent facets of the subject which we commonly call "Hell." In exploringthe true nature of man we shall fi rst sit at the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then we willsearch the epistles of the apostle Paul and other New Testament writers. Finally, wewill compare this with the revelati on in the Hebrew Scriptures. On the subject of Hellthis material is organized in such a way, from the beginning of the Hebrew Scripturesthrough to the end of the book of Revelati on, so as to give a sequenti al and orderlyrevelati on. No doubt this may be a most distasteful subject to some as it pertains tothe eternal desti ny of the lost and of our archenemy, Satan; nevertheless, the subjectmatt er, contrary to the assumpti ons of many false teachers, is abundantly spoken onin the Scriptures. Every child of God needs to know and understand its ramifi cati onsas an important reality in the confl ict between good and evil. The apostle Paul, as didthe Lord Jesus Christ before him, actually includes it as a crucial point in his ministryin this age of grace-"...in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by JesusChrist, according to my gospel" (Rom. 2:16). In Hebrew 6:1 and 2 the "doctrine ofEternal Judgment" is listed as a "foundati onal" subject.Early in his ministry, Jack W. Langord stepped outside the traditi onal man-madereligious organizati ons in Christendom and served the only church that Christ is building- "the church which is Christ''s body" -(1 Cor. 12:13 and Eph. 4:1-4). He exemplifi eda Bible-teaching ministry, conducted several radio programs, held public discussionswith both atheists and cult leaders, and traveled to several diff erent countries. Forthe last twenty years, he has researched and writt en many biblical studies on a widevariety of subjects. Many of these are available at www.Separati onTruth.com
