I had also calculated that 2520 days of the Trib landed on a starting date of 26th October this year, when considering that maybe the Second Coming would happen on Yom Kippur on 2929 - this was before FOT this year came and went without the Rapture. So afterwards, that left me with the question - what could be the fulfillment, then, of Feast Of Trumpets? I thought of the prophecy about Israel suddenly having their eyes opened about the identity of their true Messiah Who died for them, not long before the Second Coming, and they will mourn the One Who they pierced. Zechariah 12:10-14 - "10Then I will pour out on the house of David and on the people of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and prayer, and they will look on Me, the One they have pierced. They will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for Him as one grieves for a firstborn son. 11On that day the wailing in Jerusalem will be as great as the wailing of Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. 12The land will mourn, each clan on its own: the clan of the house of David and their wives, the clan of the house of Nathan and their wives, 13the clan of the house of Levi and their wives, the clan of Shimei and their wives, 14and all the remaining clans and their wives." This happens as the world's nations gather against Jerusalem - "3On that day, when all the nations of the earth gather against her, I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who would heave it away will be severely injured." So we know this happens close to the Second Coming. Could the fulfillment of FOT possibly be the opening of Israel's eyes to their Messiah and turning to Him in repentance? Someone posted this on the RITAN facebook group: FEAST OF TRUMPETS is Repentance FEAST OF YOM KIPPUR is Redemption FEAST OF TABERNACLES is Rejoicing Since the Feasts are primarily about Israel, as many claim, that could be a plausible scenario. Shemini Atzeret (Tishrei 22) 2022 + 2520 days (7 years X 12 months X 30 days) = Rosh Hashanah 2029 - The 2nd Coming According to Rosh Hashanah And The 2nd Coming – Grace thru faith "the Lord will likely return on Rosh Hashanah". "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord. On the first day shall be a holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord: on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein". Leviticus 23: Verses 33 - 36 "Also, in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the Lord your God". Numbers 10: Verse 10 Nisan 1 begins the ecclesiastical year and Tishri 1 begins the civil. But the correspondence doesn't end there. On Nisan 10 The Lamb was inspected and on Tishri 10 the second set of tablets was given to the children of Israel (Yom Kippur). Nisan 15 - 21 Passover is celebrated and Tishri 15 - 21 Sukkot is celebrated, both commencing on the full moon. The spring feasts are a time of expansion and growth culminating seven weeks later on Shavuot, Sivan 6. It was on Shavuot that the first set of tablets was given to the children of Israel. These were smashed by Moses though on Tammuz 17 because of worshipping the golden calf. But the fall feasts herald a period of contraction known as the rainy season. So instead of a feast 7 weeks and a day after Sukkot the feast is 7 days and a day after Sukkot. Read what the Rabbis have to say about this day: From http://www.ou.org/chagim/shmini-simchat/realatzeret.ht m" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here we get a deeper insight into Shmini Atzeret: "The name "Atzeret" is actually used most in the Talmud to refer to the holiday of Shavuot. Shavuot can be seen as the "completion" of Pesach - for Pesach, commemorating the Exodus, represents our "physical" birth as a nation, while Shavuot, commemorating our receiving of the Torah, represents our "spiritual" birth... Shmini Atzeret should really have been placed seven weeks after Sukkot as Shavuot, the "closure" of Pesach, follows it by seven weeks, but, according to the Midrash, Hashem had mercy on the Jewish People. For Pesach is in the Spring and Shavuot is in the Summer, both pleasant times for travel (these holidays are all "Regalim," Pilgrim Festivals, on which Jewish males are obligated to travel to the Temple in Yerushalayim), but seven weeks after Sukkot would already be into the rainy season in Israel, and travel would not be pleasant then. Therefore, Hashem allowed the closure of Sukkot, Shmini Atzeret, to be celebrated right after Sukkot." Shmini Atzeret is to Tabernacles as Pentecost is to Passover. Sivan 6 is neither a full moon nor a new moon and so the same for Tishri 22. The Leviticus verses quoted above indicate that Shmini Atzeret is a holy day in its own right and the quote from Numbers indicates that trumps are blown on all the holy days. So, since Shmini Atzeret is the last holy day till spring the last trump is blown on that day. "Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, KJV A Shmini Atzeret Rapture would be October 17, 2022. All the Best, Hi Mike! Welcome to the group. Hi Yohanan - Thanks for the Welcome! I'll be looking for the 17th as well as the 7th! TR
