Sunset in Jerusalem is in ten minutes from right now. I am thinking that since the sighting of the new moon wasn't until after sunset yesterday then the feast technically shouldn't start until sundown today and end sundown tomorrow 9/29....so still in the time frame, and I always liked midnight Israel time too. Thank you for your encouragement! I needed it. 😊 Thinking outside the box, I like that scripture says a cry at midnight, behold the bridegroom cometh! That said, we have 24 time zones across the globe with midnight happening nearly every our! As such, a midnight rapture starting with Israeli time could we see the rapture happening over a 24 hour period encircling the globe?!k Hmm! Just spit balling here! The midnight declaration doesn't necessarily mean exactly at midnight just in Israeli time! But could refer to an ongoing event? TR You mean keep the midnight hour standing still so it stays in sync for everyone across the globe? Perhaps that isn’t far fetch! Kind of like when the Israelites were in battle against their enemies … the sun didn’t go down until the battle was over with. So perhaps the Lord will do the same with the time - keeping it at the stroke of midnight? ! This verse comes to mind with people already giving up watching for FOT since they are going by “the calendar dates” and think the Feast already passed. But its still in full swing … :whistle: Does “hour” mean day? In this verse? :unsure: Luke 12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. Found a current livestream of the wall and they are still blowing the shofar at times so clearly the tekiah gedolah hasn't happened yet. I love Daniel’s encouragement to us: Daniel 12:8-10, “I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, “O my lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?” He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but the wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise shall understand.” Too remind us to stay faithful watching — Matthew 25:13 “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.” Isaiah 21:8 “Then he who saw cried out: “Upon a watchtower I stand, O Lord, continually by day, and at my post I am stationed whole nights.” Lastly, be encouraged, we are going home - Psalm 130:5-6 “I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.” Hoping for midnight, but which midnight? When did Rosh Hashanah actually start? This is contemplating what Churchgal said about the new moon sighting happening yesterday after sundown, and additionally, wondering if God goes by the original one day Rosh Hashanah celebration, or the later 2 day celebration... Also a conundrum: the belief that we're going into a Jubilee year, which if true, is supposed to make Rosh Hashanah begin 10 days later than its usual time, combining with Yom Kippur. I struggle with believing this is a Jubilee year (but if we're still here after midnight tomorrow, I hope it is). If we are approximately 7 years out from the year 6,000 (taking into consideration the missing 200+ years from Israeli history/captivity), it doesn't add up for me... It makes more sense for the Lord Jesus to wind everything up on a Jubilee year, redeeming the land and creation and capping off the 6,000 years with the 2nd Coming... 50 x 120=6,000. So midnight in Jerusalem tomorrow (29th), would be really, really wonderful!!! And a Jubilee 7 years later at the end of the 7 year tribulation would make so much sense. Glad God's got the plan! He shall tarry no more!!! TR
