Thanks Geri, MyWhiteStone, and Blue for all of the info. Can’t wait to be with everyone, hopefully soon. The brothers and sisters here at RITA have been so comforting through all of this. Wonderful fellowship!
I have one more thought relative to the tribulation starting tomorrow and becoming the beginning of Jacob’s trouble, and as you were wondering Geri: perhaps we don't leave right away. I would love to be here at Christmastime this year.
May I propose perhaps April 18 which is Nissan 10, the next date corresponding to when Jesus presented Himself to Israel as their King riding on a donkey? That would make a lot of sense to me because in the springtime, “…the branches get tender and the leaves start breaking out…, and then also in the Song of Solomon indicates we should come away to our Bridegroom.
According to Craig Bong’s research … spring is a time of war not marriage.
The Song of Solomon makes liberal use of the pomegranate in describing the loveliness of the bride (Song of Solomon 6:11; 7:12; 8:2). The bridegroom says to the Shulamite, “Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon; your mouth is lovely. Your temples behind your veil are like the halves of a pomegranate” (Song of Solomon 4:3). The modest blush on the bride’s cheeks reminds the groom that her true beauty lies within.
The pomegranate describes in essence, the loveliness of the bride of Christ in that we see the pomegranate equated with fruitfulness, blessing and prosperity. Numbers 13:23
So, in this season following the completion of all the harvests, we find men assembling together.
All the men of Israel assembled themselves to King Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month. I Kings 8:2
All the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast, that is in the seventh month II Chronicles 5:3
“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh month on the first of the month you shall have a rest, a reminder by blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. Leviticus 23:24
Now in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall also have a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work. It will be to you a day for blowing trumpets. Numbers 29:1
Blow the trumpet at the new moon (DAY OF TRUMPETS), at the full moon, on our feast day (TABERNACLES). Psalms 81:3
You have set all the borders of the earth; You have made summer and winter. Psalm 74:17
TIME IN WINTER
In the third month (BEGINNING OF FALL) they began to make the heaps, and finished them by the seventh month (WINTER). II Chronicles 31:7
Now it was the Feast of Dedication (HANUKKAH) in Jerusalem, and it was WINTER. John 10:22
Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, with a fire burning on the hearth before him. Jeremiah 36:22
In the Spring we see kings going to war. Here is what the Bible says about the first month of Spring.
In the spring (THE TENTH MONTH), at the time when kings go off to war, David sent Joab out with the king’s men and the whole Israelite army. II Samuel 11:1
“And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.” II Kings 25:1.
As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall never cease. Genesis 8:22
Understand God’s calendar and you will know the time of His arrival. In the 7th month, on the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest unto you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. Leviticus 23:24
Hi @geri9. Thanks sincerely for your perspectives. I get it and agree. And that makes it most exciting to be going NOW!
So reconciling my long-time belief about Jesus coming on Nisan 10, what would make sense Nisan 10 is not after all for believers, but rather for Israel. And that arrival in the Spring of 2030 would be when Jesus comes from Bosrah and other destructions, staining all His garments for a while. In such a scenario, God's marriage to the nation Israel would occur exactly six months after Nisan 10 on Yom Kippur, which is Tishri 10.
Now given a three month calendar change, our Rapture would be this December 2023, and Israel's marriage December 2030.
According to this resource … they are indicating Enoch was rapture in the winter
ENOCH'S RAPTURE
...it was upon the seventh day that Enoch ascended into heaven in a whirlwind, with horses and chariots of fire.
And on the eight day all the kings that had been with Enoch sent to bring back the number of men that were with Enoch, in that place from which he ascended into heaven.
And all those kings went to the place and they found the earth there filled with snow, and upon the snow were large stones of snow, and one said to the other, Come, let us break through the snow and see, perhaps the men that remained with Enoch are dead, and are now under the stones of snow, and they searched but could not find him, for he had ascended into heaven. Jasher 3
Sounds interesting, but wouldn't that also wreck the 2023 to 2030 7 year timeline? How would you scrunch everything up to make it fit if we didn't leave till April of 2024?
I received an email saying that tonight at 5pm EST Tom Hughes will be interviewing Alex Newman live from COP28. I think it will be available on the Hope for our Times website and YouTube channel.
Basically he said everything they're pushing at COP28 is a lie to get world control and destroy America. Russia, China, etc. aren't playing by their climate rules. If you didn't watch it live, no need to bother watching the recording.
Blue mention “Craig Bongs facebook that the UN meeting for peace and safety is 3:00 pm in New York. She is wondering if we leave midnight Israel time, then they will make a decision by 5:00 pm.The agenda for Cop28 goes to 6:00pm UAE time, but Craig said they always run long.”
Then I just noticed Terry’s update about the OPEC has a disagreement with fossil fuels so if they are modifying that out of the agreement. Well in Dubai it’s 9:50 pm right now … then COP 28 has until 2:00 am to come to an agreement deal … perhaps they will line it up to include the U.N. Peace & Security announcement result for 5:00 pm NY time/
I wanna go tomorrow! 
But whenever the Lord deems our time to go, that will work for me.
