Hey all,
 
It's interesting to note this year that Ramadan begins the day after Rosh Hashana. Checking back to 1996, they were at least 3 weeks apart every year. If the rapture took place as many of us hope and believe it could on the 4th, I'm sure the disappearance of many Christians would contribute to the strong "delusion" God says he will send those who didn't believe the Gospel. Im sure it would look like Allah wiped out a large group of infidels to the Muslim believers before Ramadan began.
 
There is also an annular solar eclipse on the 3rd this year (Israel is about 7-10 hours ahead of US time and their days begin at evening the previous day) and another eclipse which falls directly on the Feast of Tabernacles. Though I don't know the validity of or remember exactly where I read it, I believe the Koran states that the antichrist revelation and return of Jesus will be signified by two eclipses in the month of Ramadan. The war will begin the year following that sign.
 
Elul 1 (September 3rd-4th) this year could be extremely significant if it is a precursor to the rapture. During Elul, Jewish people would prepare themselves and repent and their fates for the upcoming time period (the following year) were determined. Those who were not accepted were given an additional "ten days" to repent from Rosh Hashana to Yom Kippur to get right with God (eg the tribulation). The first two days-- (no one knows the day nor hour, the only 2 day feast) Rosh Hashana, the 7 year tribulation, and then Yom Kippur inclusive seem to make up the 10 days Jesus refers to in Revelation while addressing Smyrna. We shall see soon.
