Oops ... yes ...July 17th ... I was thinking of 2nd Coming’s Pentecost date theory and thought it was in June but it makes sense if you add 50 days to the Sunday, May 31st date it would bring it to the July date. Note: I see you have May 29th is that from a different calendar? Shavuot from Hebcal, Geri. 6 Sivan. Thanks for the Hebrew calendar link, Dan. I’m trying to find Easter ... instead of Sunday, April 12th ... is it Friday, April 10th since its 50 days prior to the Hebrew, May 29th (Pentecost) date? Do most watchers feel the Lord is going solely by the Hebrew calendar vs. the Gregorian one? Or perhaps He will be using 2 calendars? I was thinking since we are still in the “Time of Gentile Age“ perhaps the Lord is going to fulfill the rapture date with the Gregorian calendar and then switch over to the Hebrew calendar for the “Time of Jacob’s trouble”? :unsure: Geri, The Hebrew calendar is a lunisolar calendar, meaning that months are based on lunar months beginning with the new moon siting but years are based on solar years. So it is a bit of a floating thing, difficult yes! There in is why it is harder to gage the years, except since 1948, the land is restored, and the life is 70 years or by good health (right living) 80 yrs. The pace is to fast to last to 80 years, so we are at the door. We can’t put God in a box (as some do, present company (family) excluded) or direct what we think God should do. We bow to what God is doing, we are along for the ride and to live to honor Him by doing His Will. Isaiah 55:8-9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” It is truly exciting just watching God work. :popcorn :popcorn :prayer-hands: :flyup: I just saw this post from Thomas Maples ... “about no man knows the day or the hour” ... he makes a great case for the 2nd Coming being fulfilled on FOT vs that being the rapture event. So if it does unfold that way ... perhaps Pentecost is thee rapture date after all? Some believers think Pentecost was only half fulfilled ... start of the church age and will be totally fulfilled with ending the church age when the Holy Spirit is taken out of the way and stops restraining ... so all hell breaks loose for the tribulation. If using the 7 candle menorah the placement of Pentecost feast would be that middle candle. But if using the 9 candle menorah then back to square one about that theory. :scratch: I’m also thinking about the resurrection ... it occurred on the first day of the week and that changed when the early church gathered for fellowship and worship switching from Saturday to Sunday. So my thoughts are leaning the Lord is using the Gregorian calendar for the church age ... and Sunday, May 31st Pentecost could be the real high watch date vs. the Hebrew Friday, May 29th date. :mail: Its all a wait and see .. or perhaps we fly out of here on Resurrection Sunday, April 12th? :popcorn
My personal opinion leans more toward God following the Hebrew Calendar as it follows closely to the lunar/solar cycle as set by God.
