Yes, I’m still hopeful we are gone in Sept ... Feast of Trumpets or even sooner! But if not ... we at least have Oct 31st and Nov. 1st to look forward to and perhaps others might find more high watch dates to add to the list. :mail: So, Geri. You said, "While the world will be celebrating halloween and partying to satan … the graves will open up for the saints to rise and then we go up and disappear … celebrating and partying up in heaven on Jesus’ birthday!" Satan launches a massive trick, and Jesus brings a massive treat! How about calling it "belexit" -- believers' exit...? And we can make a commemorative coin of our own to mark the occasion every year -- near the Feast of Tabernacles! There is only one major problem with October 31, 2019. It's waaaaay too far away from today! I read a very compelling article that shows the timing of Jesus' birth to be September. If I can find this link I will post it. It was written by an Israeli Jew who is accustomed to the movement of the shepherds and at what time of year they would be in certain places and why. For 6 months my daughter and I keep seeing 10/28 on the time. Now, that’s my birthday, so it stands out, but it would be cool if it happened then! ? or today. That’s a good day too :yahoo: BeckyE Happy birthday. Let's have cake now and make sure you make a wish before you blow out the candle! How sweet if we were Christ's birthday present from the Father! TR I found the link to the article I was referring to in an above post: http://www.discoverthebiblelands.com/the-season-of-jesus-birth-when-was-it/ Interesting article with the sheep grazing in Sept. I wonder then if the virgin conception occurred on the Festival of Lights - Hanukkah? It would then push the 9 months into September. Also wondering if there is a way to pin point the exact September birth date ... by finding out the day Hanukkah fell on? It would be funny if you are right Geri. You might have it figured out. I wouldn't be surprised if you've got it Pontiac. I just don't know if things will be normal for all the days leading up to Halloween. It was probably a good idea to google for the seasons in Israel. The more i look at this, the more it looks to me like the Dragon has used the USA to spread Halloween all around the world. All around the late 80's and through the 90's. In places that have never observed it before like in Germany. All just prior to these signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars. Interesting. From Wiki: Germany Halloween was not generally observed in Germany prior to the 1990s, but has been increasing in popularity. It has been associated with the influence of United States culture, and "Trick or Treating" (in German, "Süßes sonst gibt's Saures") has been occurring in various German cities, especially in areas such as the Dahlem neighborhood in Berlin, which was part of the American zone during the Cold War. Today, Halloween in Germany brings in 200 million euros a year, through multiple industries. Russia In Russia most Christians are Orthodox, and in the Orthodox Church Halloween is on the Saturday after Pentecost and therefore 4–5 months before western Halloween. Celebration of western Halloween began in the 1990s around the downfall of the Soviet regime, when costume and ghoulish parties spread throughout night clubs throughout Russia. Poland and the Czech Republic Since the fall of Communism in 1989, Halloween has become increasingly popular in Poland and the Czech Republic. Particularly, it is celebrated among younger people. The influx of Western tourists and expats throughout the 1990s introduced the costume party aspect of Hallowe'en celebrations, particularly in clubs and at private house parties. " Día de Muertos " . Translates as "Day of the dead". Interesting. Will this be the day that the dead in Christ rise? If this idea is true, it would mean that we would have the same Birthday as Jesus, our born-again birthday. What a present for the Father to give to the Son on His Birthday. The birth of His Bride. From Wiki: Celebration in the United States and Canada has had a significant impact on how the event is observed in other nations. This larger North American influence, particularly in iconic and commercial elements, has extended to places such as Ecuador, Chile, Australia, New Zealand, (most) continental Europe, Japan, and other parts of East Asia. In the Philippines, during Halloween, Filipinos return to their hometowns and purchase candles and flowers, in preparation for the following All Saints Day (Araw ng mga Patay) on 1 November and All Souls Day – though it falls on 2 November, most of them observe it on the day before. In Mexico and Latin America in general, it is referred to as " Día de Muertos " which translates in English to "Day of the dead". Dave, Oh I can’t take any credit if it turns out to be a Halloween Rapture. From the one preacher on the radio who talked about Zacharias “Course of Abia” duties timeline to when I was watching a Robert Breaker youtube back on Oct 18, 2017 called “The Barley Harvest, Halloween & an Oct/Nov Rapture?” Its 40:45 minutes long and still well worth watching. I learned some fascinating things. One is ... we know our new bodies will not contain blood ... so he thinks perhaps when our bodies rise our left behind clothing will be all bloody .... so how fitting if that were to occur on Halloween day? Yep, I have a close Australian friend who mentioned Halloween wasn’t celebrated years ago ... not until the USA started pushing it in the past 10 - 15 years ago. LOL ... nope, I don’t drive a Pontiac ... right now its a 4-Runner and before that a Prelude. Prophetic names though, eh? 😉 Yes Geri but, in the Bobby Breaker video, i don't recall him suggesting that Jesus' birthday was on Halloween. Where did you get that idea from? Breaker did bring up that the birthday for Protestantism was on Halloween. October 31, 1517 Martin Luther nailed his thesis to the Catholic Church door. I thought that was pretty good. This guy figured out the Birthday for Jesus being on October 31 hypothesis back in the days when VHS tapes ruled the day. "If I had to chose a date for Jesus' Birthday, it would be Tishri 10, the Day of Atonement. It appears to me Jesus was born about October 31, 4 BC. "I wouldn't be surprised if the Devil has made Halloween sort of a secret between himself and Jesus. Making Halloween the holiday of witches and sorcery, the Devil has been able to poke it in Jesus' eye that he has taken His Birthday and has made it a day of goblins and witches and witchcraft.

Halloween is now the United States' second most popular holiday (after Christmas) for decorating; the sale of candy and costumes is also extremely common during the holiday, which is marketed to children and adults alike. The National Confectioners Association (NCA) reported in 2005 that 80% of American adults planned to give out candy to trick-or-treaters. The NCA reported in 2005 that 93% of children planned to go trick-or-treating.
