Dispensational Model of the Harpazo

Genesis 19:9-11

  • Lot was righteous – 2 Peter 2:4-9
  • Righteousness stems from God
    • a biblical axiom
  • Lot is used as a picture of those who are in the Lord’s church
    • deemed righteous by God because of the work of Christ
  • Lot was pulled through the door and then the blindness’ came (strong delusions – 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12), just as we will be pulled through the door before 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12.  The door is Jesus – John 10:9-10
  • God was with the two angels – Genesis 19:18

Dispensational Model of the Harpazo

Genesis 38:13-26

Judah = the Jewish people

Tamar = the gentile led church

signet = identity

bracelets = tribe

staff = authority

  • Judah possessed the signet, bracelets, and staff to pledge, which represents the person and authority of Christ
  • Judah bargained away the signet, bracelets, and staff for the price of a harlot, just as the Jews sold off Christ at His 1st coming in their spiritual harlotry
  • The signet, bracelets, and staff were given as a guarantee of payment, just as the Holy Spirit is given as a guarantee of our eternal life
  • The signet, bracelets, and staff being returned are a symbol of Christ’s authority transfer back to the Jews, representing their opportunity during The Great Tribulation
  • Judah knew Tamar again no more, just as Christ’s dealing with Israel and the Church do not overlap
