This is a comment on the topic of this thread, the rapture possibly happening on Feast of Trumpets. Perry Stone has been on TBN promoting a new rapture (prophecy) book. His beliefs are exactly the same as the link, about Feast of Trumpets being the next feast to fullfil and that it refers to the rapture. Also that it means the rapture is pre-trib as the next feast (Atonement) has to do with the tribulation. Personally, I can see also why Pentecost is a candidate. Especially with the timing of the harvests; it ends the barley harvest and begins the wheat harvest. Barley is processed by throwing it in the air so the chaff is blown away, symbolizing rapture. Wheat is processed by an instrument called a tribulum which crushes the hard core, symbolizing the tribulation. I'd be happy if the rapture happens this year; I can't dogmatically say what time of year it will be but the signs are there. I've been amazed that our President's name is "Trump", as to me that symbolizes the rapture, "the last "trump". So I've been expecting the rapture any time during the last 4 years. I guess if we see him reelected that extends the watch. Especially since our biggest watch dates will have gone by if we see Pres. Trump reelected. B-) :negative: Pres Trump was placed into office by God for a time such as this. Mainly to befriend Israel and protect the U.S. from self destruction. That said, should he be re-elected that doesn't mean we'll all be here for four more years. That just means he will be in office of the President when the Rapture happens. TR I posted this thought on RITAN facebook. Since some members here don't have access to facebook, here we go. Jesus says no man knows the day and hour of rapture. I guess I finally know why he says that. The Jews observe their Shavuot/Pentecost on Sivan 6, while Catholic and all Christians denominations observe Pentecost fifty days after Easter Sunday. None of this group believe Pentecost actually falls on Tammuz 26. When God destines rapture on the real Pentecost, how will they suppose to know the day when they already made an error on choosing the wrong day for Pentecost? The real Pentecost has been lost for many generations. When God picks Pentecost for rapture day, none of us could have thought of Tammuz 26. I believe this is why Jesus says no man knows the day and hour. Here's a recap of how I used time, times, and half time to calculate the rapture date. From the mystery number 153 which runs parallel to Leviticus 23:15-16, and the Hebrew names of twelve minor prophets, they both point to Tammuz 26 shall play a very important role in future. Simply put, Tammuz 26 is the real Shavuot/Pentecost. This is also the feast God shall remember and sends Jesus back for it. This is why I placed 1335 days on Tammuz 26. It summarizes all the tribulation events. Take 2020 to 2027 timeline for example. 1335 days ends on Tammuz 26 July 31 2027. Because Tammuz 26 begins on sundown Tammuz 25, I used Tammuz 25 July 30 as the end of 1335 days. Subtract 45 days from July 30, we come to June 15 as the end of 1290 days. Subtract 1290 days from June 15 2027, we come to Dec 3 2023 as the beginning of 1290 days. Dec 3 2023 falls on Kislev 20 in that year. AC shall place the abomination on Kislev 20 2023. This event is remembered by God as "time, times, and half time", illustrated below. time Kislev 20 2024 the first year anniversary of abomination times Kislev 20 2025, Kislev 20 2026 the second and third year anniversary of abomination To calculate half time, we need to find the half way point between Kislev 20 2026 and Kislev 20 2027. Kislev 20 2026 falls on Nov 30 2026 , while Kislev 20 2027 falls on Dec 20 2027. Between these two dates, there are 385 days. Divide 385 days by 2, and round it to nearest zero, we have 193 days. Add 193 days to Nov 30 2026, we come to June 11 2027 as the "half time". June 11 falls on Sivan 6 in 2027. Because God only gives the beast authority over the Jews for "time, times, and half time", it places Jesus' second coming on "half time" which is June 11 Sivan 6 2027, to take back the power from the beast. To calculate the date for rapture, I subtract 2520 days from June 11 Sivan 6 2027, and come to July 17 2020 as the day for rapture and tribulation to begin. Coincidentally, July 17 2020 falls on Tammuz 25. Pentecost/Shavuot begins on sundown Tammuz 25. Rapture may very well happen after sundown Tammuz 25 Jerusalem time. If it does, we can call it Pentecost rapture. But to confirm this timeline, I also expect a three shepherds war by this May or June. If all fails, I shall look at the possibility of 2021 to 2028 timeline, using the same calculation. Mat 24:36 "But about that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Its difficult to see this as the Second Coming of Christ. I find it very difficult to imagine eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage while the world it literally torn to pieces and hell is running rampant on earth. Also, Noah's ark was an architype of the Rapture so how does it occur at the Second Coming? In nowhere that I have ever read are verses 40 and 41 events that take place other than the Rapture. I also find it difficult to separate verse 36 from 37. The 24th chapter is a three part message; the end times for the nations, the end times for the Jews, and the end times for the Church, which is why verses 29-35 are chronologically after 36-51.
Mat 24:37 For as the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Mat 24:38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark,
Mat 24:39 and they knew nothing until the flood came and swept them all away, so too will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Mat 24:40 Then two will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be left.
Mat 24:41 Two women will be grinding meal together; one will be taken and one will be left.
