Thoughts on a 9/8/19 Rapture Timeline

Disclaimer: this post will either become mostly irrelevant in 4 days, or the Bride will be at Abba's house with our Bridegroom.  Longing for the latter.  Just sayin'.

Here is a speculative timeline regarding a possible scenario for the rapture.  There is no “Thus sayeth the Lord” and I am NOT dogmatically claiming that the rapture is going to occur on a specific date.  It is, however, based on some different pieces of truth from the scriptures.  So, here we go.

Let’s start with some of the basic assumptions and a few descriptions of key parts of the theory:

1) I am assuming that the rapture is going to take place in 2019.  Without that assumption, the rest of this post is pointless.  (Why 2019.  Just a few reasons: Ezekiel 38 war coming, Temple about to built, Daniel 9:27 covenant forerunner about to be announced amidst talk of peace and safety, birth pangs on the rise, technology for Mark of Beast, world economy teetering on disaster, social conditions deteriorating like the days of Noah and Lot, spiritual conditions of apostasy, unprecedented synergistic convergence).

2) I am assuming that the 2520th day (1260+1260) from the date the Daniel 9:27 covenant is confirmed by the AC lands on Yom Kippur in 2026.

3) I am assuming that a) Jesus will return on Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets) in 2026 (9/12-9/13/26, b) that He will judge and separate the sheeps and goats on Yom Kippur 9/21/26, and c) He will begin His millennial kingdom during Sukkot 9/26-10/2/19.

4) I am assuming that the fixed 75-day period that always occurs between Yom Kippur and the first day of Chanukah will match the 75 days referenced in Daniel between the 1260 and 1335 days.  In 2026, that would be from 9/21/26-12/5/26.  Possible dedication of the millennial Temple at that time?

5) I am assuming that because there were 50 days between Jesus’ resurrection and the conception of the Church/Dispensation of Grace, there will also be 50 days between our resurrection (the rapture) and the start of the new dispensation for Daniel’s 70th week (less accurately and more commonly referred to as the 7-year Tribulation)

With those assumptions, here is how I back into the date of 9/8/19 as a potential high watch/date of interest:

1. Start with the First Day of Chanukah 2026 12/5/26

2. 75 days before that is Yom Kippur 9/21/26

3. 2520 days before that is 10/28/19 (theoretically the date the covenant is confirmed by AC—can’t really find any particular significance in this day)

4. 50 days before that is 9/8/19 (allowing 50-day gap from rapture/resurrection to start of 70th week, mirroring 50 days of Pentecost)

5. Rapture possibly on 9/8/19

Lots of assumptions, I know.  I could be wrong on any one of a number of points.   And I am acutely aware of the colorful axiom that does not bear repeating on this site but which clearly explains the risk of assuming.    Still, I find it interesting. Especially since it came to me at 330 AM last night as I was contemplating Brother Chooch’s “Rapture Bang Zone” time frame. Lol.

Oh, one other related personal note that I find more than a little interesting.  A long time ago (can’t remember how many years), I somehow had a thought in my head that 59 years of age would be as old as I get in this fleshly body.  Not sure if it was from the Lord, but it definitely has stuck in my head for many years.  And not with any ominous foreboding that the Grim Reaper would show up at some point in the days after I turned 59 but before I turned 60.  Just something I have filed away and wondered about.  And of course now, with everything going on prophetically, I can’t help but wonder if it means I won’t see 60 before we are raptured.  Against that backdrop, you can imagine my surprise when, after completing the above calculations, the date landed on September 8th, 2019, my 59th birthday!  Hard to make that up.  Not sure what it means, but it certainly makes me smile at our God, who always works with amazing precision.  Whether we are here on September 9th or not, we are getting close.  Maranatha!!!
