High watch time for the rapture this next 10 days. I have seen multiple Bible Codes from researcher Tom Gaston which mention the rapture and August 31. A week later is Rosh Hashanah which has always been a favorite high watch time; there are many phrases already mentioned on other threads that have to do with Rosh Hashanah and the rapture. During this time period there are some interesting conjunctions with the moon and Taurus, then the moon and Leo. Both Taurus and Leo represent Messiah coming in judgment according to the book Witness of the Stars. The moon represents the church as it has no light of its own but reflects that of the sun (which represents the Son). See below at "this weeks sky at a glance" where on August 31 the moon appears to be passing through the horns of Taurus the Bull. Then again, on September 5, the day before the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the moon resides within the sickle of Leo in the Constellation of Leo. Possibly these signs represent the rapture. We'll have to wait and see! https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-aug-27-sept-4/ There is a free copy of the e-book here of Witness of the Stars which contains information about the constellations of Leo and Taurus and the meanings of the names of the stars that compose them related to Messiah coming again. https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/49018 Below for example is a quote about the Constellation of Leo and the ancient meanings of the stars which compose it: "The brightest star, α (on the Ecliptic), marks the heart of the Lion (hence sometimes called by the moderns, Cor Leonis, the heart of the Lion). Its ancient name is Regulus, which means treading under foot. The next star, β, also of the 1st magnitude (in the tip of the tail), is named Denebola, the Judge or Lord who cometh. The star γ (in the mane) is called Al Giebha (Arabic), the exaltation. The star δ (on the hinder part of the back) is called Zosma, shining forth. [pg 165]Other stars, not identified, are named Sarcam (Hebrew), the joining; intimating that here is the point where the two ends of the Zodiacal circle have their joining. Another star has the name of Minchir al Asad (Arabic), the punishing or tearing of the Lion. Another is Deneb Aleced, the judge cometh who seizes. And another is Al Dafera (Arabic), the enemy put down. What can be more expressive? What can be more eloquent? All is harmony, and all the names unite in pointing us to what is written of “the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.” And why is Messiah thus called? Because it is applied to Him in Rev. v. 5 in connection with His rising up for judgment: and because the Lion is known to have been always borne upon the standard of Judah, whether in the wilderness (Num. ii.) or in aftertimes." EarthAngel — just to clarify the verse in Revelation 5:5: "Then one of the elders said to me, 'Do not weep. See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals. '" As this falls after Chapter 4 when the the Bride is already in the Bridal chamber, this is widely regarded as a reference to the Second Coming of Christ. — Jesus is of the tribe of Judah Trivia facts to ponder: The tribe of Judah became the most powerful and most important tribe. ... Not only did it produce the great kings David and Solomon but also, it was prophesied, the Messiah, Christ, would come from the “kings” tribe. The legal genealogy of Jesus is given in Matthew 1, and traces the family of Joseph, the adopted father of Jesus. Joseph was a descendant of King David through David's son Solomon. ... This double lineage placed Jesus firmly in the tribe of Judah through both his mother, and through his adopted father. Mary’s lineage are that she was a descendant of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Luke 3:34); she was specifically of the tribe of Judah (verse 33). She was also a descendant of Boaz (verse 32) and David (verse 31). Significantly, Luke traces Mary’s lineage all the way back to Adam (verse 38). This fits with Luke’s purpose as he wrote to Gentiles and emphasized that Jesus is the Son of God who came to save all people (cf. Luke 2:10–11). Another issue relating to Mary’s lineage is her relation to Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist. Luke says that Mary was related to Elizabeth, who was in the tribe of Levi (Luke 1:5, 36). An argument sometimes put forward by those who deny the credentials of Christ is that, if Mary was Elizabeth’s “cousin,” then Mary must also have been a Levite. Fair and educational use — various sources Where can I find Tom Gaston's Bible Codes? Patricia, He has a website: https://www.thethirdheaventraveler.com/2013/12/ And an email address: I would advise caution, not everything in the Bible codes theory has proven correct and some things seem to be manufactured to fit …. My opinion :unsure: Patricia, you can get on Tom Gaston's e-mail list if you ask him at the e-mail address Tammie gave you. That is why I see all the Bible Codes he researches, I'm on his e-mail list. And yes, they seem inaccurate as they have been found for years indicating the rapture at hand; some day I will ask the Lord about that but almost afraid of the answer. Another thing to ponder is the codes are limited to the researchers imagination as far as words to search for. They are probably much deeper with many more terms, so we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg. Yet I do love to see them, especially when they are indicating the year we are in. I guess there is still that kid inside me saying, "Are we there yet, are we there yet"??? 🙂 Thanks! The links on his website didn't seem to work. So now, thanks to your post, I asked to be on his e-mail list. There used to be a lot of people searching for Bible Codes, now, only a few: Sean Mitchell on Facebook (in the Bible Codes Unsealed group) and Rabbi Glazerson (but his accent is so heavy that he is very difficult to understand). I find the codes interesting, although I know that it's easier to find them after events have happened. Because, as you say, we have to know which words to search for. Thanks again! This is a quote from Pastor Riley that I just got in my e-mail: "According to news sources, the new moon was not sighted until last night, (the 8th), making today, (the 9th), the first day of Tishri and Rosh Hashanah." You can see how that would be at the below link; really nothing visible of the new moon until the 8th, last night. https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-september-3-11/ The last picture at the above link has a very interesting conjunction of Venus, the moon and Spica on the 9th. It is still there on the 10th, slightly different position. Venus represents Jesus (the bright and morning star), the moon represents the church. According to this letter posted at fivedoves, Spica can represent "first fruits". Could be a rapture sign? http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/sep2021/ellioth95.htm Quote from above link: "Spica represents the first fruits." There’s always something in the sky, and they have repeated for two thousand years! TR Signs in the sky might mean something other than astronomical panoply! TR
