Hey Billy, it's been a while, good to see you. The nation is born in a day because everyone hears the call in the same day, no matter what day of the year it may be, that is, if you put yourself into the text.
John 7:37-38 KJV
37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Understand? The first time you ever read this you heard this call. What day was it? It was the last great day of Sukkot-Tabernacles. Therefore by putting yourself in the text you are on a timeline, a prophetic timeline, but there is a restrainer holding back the one who is to come, and when he comes the timeline will engage and the countdown will commence, (though no man knows the day or the hour).
Hebrews 10:35-39 KJV
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
[Hab 2:3]
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
[Hab 2:4]
39
But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition;
but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
And in this manner shall all Yisrael be delivered.
This so-called rapture comes from the Torah, and although it is for the good, it is not good for the old man nature and natural man when it comes, (for that one is finally put to death).
Exodus 33:2-6
2 And I will send My Messenger before you, (and I will drive out the Kanaani, the Amori, and the Ḥitti, and the Perizzi, the Ḥivvi, and the Yebusi),
3 unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of you,
for you are a stiff-necked people:
lest I consume you in the way.
4 And when the people heard this bad word, they mourned, and no one put on his head-gear.
5 And
יהוה said to Mosheh, Say to bnei Yisrael, You are a stiff-necked people:
in one blink of an eye I will come up into your midst and consume you! And now,
put off your head-gear, for I know what I will do with you.
6
And bnei Yisrael plucked off their head-gear from mount Ḥoreb.
This is further expounded in
the vow of the Nazir, in BaMidbar-Numbers 6, (including the blessing). The nation is indeed born in a day, (Isa 66:5-12), and yet it is to each in his or her own appointed times, the time appointed of the Father when a child becomes a tried, tested, and true son, (Gal 4:1-2), because each one who guards the command in Exo 25:8-9 becomes a
little mikdash-sanctuary-temple house of Elohim, (Isa 66:1-2, Eze 11:16, Acts 7:48-50, etc., etc.).
For this same reason some say that certain things foretold in the Olivet Discourse and even some things Paul said have never come to pass: they surely did happen, just not according to the way dispensationalist futurism teaches that those things will happen, and dispensationalist futurists will change their minds
if and when those things happen to them: each in his or her own appointed times, just as the Torah, Prophets, Meshiah, and Paul all teach.
Here is the order from the Master himself and I will just quote the KJV.
Luke 19:11-20 KJV
11 And as they heard these things,
he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
12 He said therefore,
A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom,
and to return.
13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them,
Occupy till I come.
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
15
And it came to pass,
that when he was returned,
having received the kingdom,
[Acts 2:1-3, Isa 53:12a] then he commanded these servants to be called unto him,
to whom he had given the money,
that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
16
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
18
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
20
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
See the order commencing from Acts 2? The ten servants are summoned or called (up) one at a time, (ten being a number of completion or totality). The Bema is singular, individual, personal, and private, just as is the Good Message or Gospel.
Then came the first ...
Then came the second ...
Then another came ...
And so on, and so on, until it is your own appointed time ...
