Matthew 24:31 “And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER
27
TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other”

Jacob’s Golden Ladder
This light tunnel seems similar to Jacob’s “Golden Ladder” reaching to Heaven. In Genesis 28:12 it reads “behold, a
ladder was set on the earth with its top reaching to heaven and behold the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.” It
appears that Christ’s Elect need such a ladder to ascend into heaven from the earth during the End Times. This
must be to show mankind on this earth the visible Rapture. This is His Bride going from this earth to Heaven.
Remember Jacob’s dream and how it describes a ladder from Heaven to earth for the angels to use. It is
astonishing to see in scripture a ladder is needed by the angels to reach into the heavens and down to the earth. It
is like a visible ladder or light tunnel which is needed to show the world His Bride being gathered from this earth.

Jacob’ Dream:

Genesis 28:12-13

“He (Jacob) had a
dream, and behold, a
ladder was set on the
earth with its top
reaching to heaven and
behold the angels of God
were ascending and
descending on it. And
behold, the Lord stood
above it and said I am
the Lord, the God of
your father Abraham and
the God of Isaac; the
land on which you lie, I
will give it to you and to
your descendants.”

Jacob's Ladder — William Blake (1757–1827) Jacob's Ladder- Bath Abbey U.K.

The passage below states we will become immortal beings with everlasting life. This change from the perishable
body will occur “in the twinkling of an eye.” It doesn’t say believers will immediately vanish without evidence. This
will be a visible event and seen throughout the world. It is a glorious event when we get our immortal bodies and
become Christ’s Bride. We shall then head to Heaven for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

1 Corinthians 15:52-57 “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will
sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable must put
on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. But when this perishable will have put on
the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is
written, DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory.”
