I just learned the Jews really don’t know when Jubilee is so what do they do every year on Yom Kippur (their day of atonement)? They blow the trumpet because Leviticus 25:9 says ”Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.” And guess what they also do on this feast day? They close the gates! Neilah (Closing of the gates) is the final service of Yom Kippur. Some have suggested that the name refers to the historical fact that this extra service was recited at the end of the Day of Atonement, when the Temple gates were closing. (Source: Behind-the-music.com) - Fair Use - Sooo doesn’t the gates being closed sound an awful lot like when the Ark doors got closed before the flood judgment? :whistle: Looks like we need to stay extra alert :mail: for Tuesday, Oct 8th and Wednesday, 9th ... perhaps its our day to fly away! :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: From you lips to God's ears! TR Still not "feeling it"for Yom Kippur, but we'll see. I also was hoping for a 2019 Rapture, but my guess is not until 2020 at the earliest! Once again it seems quiet now on rapture websites. Guess we are all waiting for something big to happen before we begin to comment again. In these "desert" moments when God's restraining hand seems to be present I still enjoy the time we have to share and get to know one another better. It's called fellowship. Indeed, I've always maintained that this site in particular always afforded a friendly, light and fun atmosphere in which to communicate the glories of God. There has always been a need of balance to accommodate the needs of many vs necessary boundries. May we all continue in God's graces in order to better be used by Him! May He be pleased with this site and with all that utilize it! TR TR I didn't think we would make it past 2017 but here we are. The stage is still being set and we still have this space of grace left to occupy. It could be a long fall and winter with lots of stuff going on and stories coming out as usual but nothing major actually happening. Don’t give up watching during the month of October ... if nothing happens on Yom Kippur .... there is still the Oct 31st high watch date. B-)
