Thanks. I've been feeling pretty discouraged today. It has been a while since I watched that video. Maybe it wasn't 4 horsemen in the sky, but a rider on a horse with a bow? I just meant the alignment he was talking about in the video. Before sundown in Jerusalem, the last trumpet will be blown, the Tekiah Gedolah. Paul may have been referring to this final long trumpet blast when he said at the last trump. It is typically a long 9+ second blast. With sundown at 6:20 or so that puts it this morning at 10:20 central time. I'm always reminded that the Bible specifically mentions weddings still occurring and Saturday is the day of weddings. There is quite a few rumblings that Israel may strike back at Iran today and the way they've been handling business lately I doubt it will be a minor attack. This may be the strike that so severely damaged Iran that they are existentially forced to launch all they have left along with Russia and Turkey. May God's will and plan be done as always. Maranatha Lord Jesus! Why was the official start on Oct. 2 if the moon doesn't appear until the 4th? Don't the Jews have access to a Farmer's Almanac? Anyway, here's a short little video about starting on the 4th. @terry The Feast of Trumpets: “The Day That No Man Knows!”. You can find an article about this saying and how it relates to this feast. I will put URL to an article. (Matthew) 24:36-37 But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. https://isaiahsixtyoneseven.blogspot.com/2020/09/feast-of-trumpets-day-that-no-man-knows.html I am looking forward to the 9th. I am happy to watch all the dates concerning all the calendars and theories, just praying we leave this fall. The Last Great Day on the Creator's Calendar is November 7th. That will cover all the fall feasts on all the calendars I know about. @patrician I was just hoping we don't get that far. Seems like the UN is trying to back Israel into a corner and they will be forced into that covenant with death soon. I saw on a Nelson Walters video that the UN voted to change the security council so that the US has less power to protect Israel. I didn't like the video so I didn' t post. Have you seen this news? There is a Doves article this week about Shemini Atzeret. The author says it's on the 9th. Google sources say it's not till the 23rd. And here's Dr. Barry's video from last year about the 8th last day. I'll have to watch it again. If we are still here after the 9th, you may want to check out Dr. Awe's latest video for Day of Atonement which he thinks is on Sunday 10/13-14. He has an update on how he is helping with hurricane rescue efforts, but I am not posting because he lets people know how they can donate and that is against forum rules. @blue Thanks. We finally finished watching. I'll list his dates and in parenthesis the ones on Mark Biltz's calendar. They're not the same. Sheesh. Oct. 13/14 (12) Atonement @terry I understood Dr. Awe's dates to be Oct. 13/14 for Atonement. Oct 18th-19th Tabernacles. and Oct 26-27 8th day of Tabernacles. I think the confusion is that he may not have said the date of the start of Tabernacles, only the 8th day. I just figured it. Not sure what the Nov. 3 date is, maybe the first of the next month? His dates are just a couple days off from Mark Biltz. I am glad to have an extra day or two to watch before I give up hope! @blue It's all terribly confusing. Nov. 3 is just me counting 8 days from Oct. 27. You're right, he wasn't entirely clear. And sometimes it seems like he is saying don't bother with a calendar; the Jews have been doing it wrong for almost 6,000 years; he's the (only) one who has the dates right. Not falling for that. Oh well, the main thing is we still have some high watch dates in October to stave off discouragement. @blue It is our blessed hope, I think trying to guess the dates and when man's thinking isn't God's thinking, we start losing hope, I usually skip over date guessing because of that very reason, it is dishearting and Jesus never intended me to lose my blessed hope. @perhapstoday Oh, I love the high watch dates. I just mean I lose hope in the date, not His coming. But then I look forward next. If I didn't have a date to look forward to it would be hard to get through the next week. It is more of a bummer to me to hear people say the rapture can only be on one day each year such as the Feast of Trumpets. @blue The rapture can be on any day and will come on a day you think not. I try to take one day at a time. Just my opinion. that's all. Thanks. We started watching but it's too late tonight to finish. We'll pick it back up tomorrow. Amir Tsarfati, Bible Bites: Life in a fallen world is far different than life in the initial created world. Adam and Eve went from walking in the garden in the cool of the day with the Lord, to being barred from that very garden. An angel with a flaming sword guarded the way to the tree of life which was in the center of the garden, lest man’s fallen condition become eternal. We live in a time when the travails of the earth are increasing in frequency and intensity in a labor-pain-like fashion. Earthquakes are increasing, weather phenomena are getting more intense, and plagues are sweeping the globe as it seems that another comes as soon as the previous one subsides. How do we keep from being overwhelmed at such a time as this? Remember that Jesus has overcome the world and will someday create a new heaven and new earth in which righteousness dwells. No earthquakes or hurricanes, no famines or plagues. What man caused in the garden, Jesus cured on the cross! In this life we will have the experiences that come with living in a fallen world. When Jesus reminds us in John 16:33 that He has overcome the world, He used the word “tribulation” which means “burdens, anguish, and afflictions.” He followed this by calling us to be of good cheer because He has overcome this world. So as the world groans and travails as it awaits its deliverance from the curse, let’s remember that same curse that came with the fall of man is going to lifted someday and what is in store for us in the next life is this: Psalm 16:11 Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus! https://mailchi.mp/beholdisrael/amirs-bible-bites-devotionals-11465402 In Daniel Larimer's video he called the twinkling of an eye sunrise. I had always heard that was sunset. I looked to see what Jack Kelley said about it: The phrase “twinkling of an eye” is found only in 1 Cor. 15:52 which Paul originally wrote in the Greek language. The Greek word translated “twinkling” literally means “in a beat, or stroke”. Although I have found a source claiming that the Hebrew rendering of this phrase referred to sunset in some ancient Hebrew traditions, I find it hard to believe that Paul would use an idiom most of his readers throughout the age would not understand to give a hint as to the rapture’s timing. I think it’s much more likely that he was using the plain sense meaning of the phrase to describe the speed with which the rapture will occur. -Fair Use-
Oct. 26/27 (17) Tabernacles

You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
