Five Doves August 21st, 2022 letters. I enjoyed reading a reminder of what Rosh Hashanah symbolizes! Here are some of the GREAT highlights :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn The Rapture on Rosh Hashanah By Carl Worline Rosh Hashanah is a day of rest where no ordinary labor is to be performed. Rosh Hashanah is the only Jewish feast where the moon is hidden. The moon is an allusion and represents the Bride of Christ. Why are Jewish feast days significant to Christians? Technically, the Jews do not even believe that Jesus is the Messiah. The answer is that God declared the Jews to be His chosen people for all eternity. Jesus was a Jew. Jesus also told us that He came to the world for the Jews first and then for the Gentiles. Therefore, Jewish customs and beliefs are very important as we search for clues on rapture timing. After all, Jesus patterned the rapture after the customs and traditions of a Jewish wedding. Rosh Hashanah came to be known as the Feast Where No Man Knows the Day or Hour because it commences on a new moon rather than a full moon. A new moon is when the moon is totally dark, giving off no illumination. With anything less than an absolutely clear sky it is impossible to tell when the moon is at its darkest and it takes at least 2 visual sightings of the first thin crescent to confirm the new moon. Therefore, it is difficult to predict when this actually takes place. Since Jesus repeatedly used variations of the phrase that no man knows the day or hour in connection with His return, many believe that the rapture will occur on Rosh Hashanah of some year. In Jewish tradition, the groom comes for his bride around midnight when all are sleeping and do not expect his arrival. In the Bible, Jesus tells us that He will return at a time when we are not expecting Him. I plan to be outside looking toward the East when it is midnight in Jerusalem (5 PM EDT in the United States) on both nights of Rosh Hashanah this year. Jewish tradition holds that the Gates of Heaven open on Rosh Hashanah and close on Yom Kippur so that the “Righteous Nation” might enter. Could the term “Righteous Nation” also be a reference to the Church, the Bride of Christ? Rosh Hashanah is the only feast where the blowing of trumpets is a central theme. During Rosh Hashanah trumpets are blown for 30 days leading up to the feast, and finish with the blowing of the “Last Trumpet.” On each of these 30 days, the shofar is blown 100 times (3 distinct sounds blown in sets of 9 and repeated 11 times, for a total of 99). Then the last sound is one long blast, and is always referred to as the “Last Trumpet.” Paul told us very clearly in 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 that the rapture will occur “at the Last Trumpet.” In the Bible, Pentecost is known as the First Trumpet. Yom Kippur is known as the Great Trumpet. Rosh Hashanah is known as the Last Trumpet. 😉 Rosh Hashanah is known by many names. One of these traditional names is “The Day of the Resurrection of the Righteous Dead.” Another traditional name for Rosh Hashanah is The Hidden Day, The Day of Concealment, or The Day of Hiding (as in hiding the bride from the tribulation). Rosh Hashanah is sometimes referred to as The Day of Remembrance, The Day of the Opening of Books, and The Day of Judgement. Lastly, there is one more aspect of Rosh Hashanah that strongly implies a rapture on this Jewish holy day (moed). Rosh Hashanah is known among Jews as The Day of the Wedding of the Messiah (Ha Kiddushin/Nesuin) and The Day of the Coronation, or Crowning of the Messiah (Ha Melech). Likewise, Jesus and Paul both likened the Rapture of the Church to a Jewish Wedding. - Fair Use - And Fay gives us a heads up … in her article Rosh Hashanah and the United Nation’s General Assembly 2022. The timeline of their 77th meeting ends on the last day of Feast of Trumpets - 9/27 B-) and what do they aim to do? Oh … just split up Jerusalem to form a Palestinian State. Hmmm … I wonder if they will be saying Peace and Safety as they announce the Palestinians State and living side by side? What could possibly go wrong? How about sudden destruction comes … ? Per Fay I posted last week that this coming United Nation's General Assembly will be taking place September 13th - 27th. The high level stuff begins on September 20th to 27th. Not only do these dates encompass Rosh Hashana but this Assembly will be the 77th session. Please see the 1st link. It was then found that the Palestinians are going to push for full recognition of a Palestinian State at this upcoming session. The United Nations Secretary-General, Antonia Guterres, has promised the Palestinians that he will help with this aim. This is truly shocking. Details in the 2nd link. I found the article in the 3rd link to be even more ominous. The US State Department are set to grant a visa to the Iranian president for his UN speech. As you will see in the article - this is pretty shocking. This brought Joel 3:2 immediately to mind. See 4th link. All of this has made Rosh Hashana an extremely high watch date for me. Rosh Hashana falls on September25/26th, 2022. Praying for the peace of Jerusalem. PLEASE come, LORD Jesus. - Fair Use - I was surprised by this video of the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony posted by Tony Els on Five Doves titled, "Once You See it, You can Never Unsee it. . ." Shocking! Echoes of Baal---A 32-foot bronze bull with actors worshiping it.
