I love looking forward to each major feast, studying, reading 5 doves and all other sorts of references and materials.  I must confess that I am totally biased and look earnestly to each one of them as the fulfillment.  After all, we are supposed to Love the Lord with all our hearts, minds and souls.  Being away from your deepest love, how can you be unbiased?  Anyway…here are some things that I have come across.
 

1. I believe that Joseph and the story is a rapture model (one of the many).  Joseph gets called up from the dungeon on Pharaoh’s birthday.  In the model Pharaoh would stand for God (the one true God).  This brings up something in regards to timing:

• It has been said that Jesus’ true b-day would be September, so I am linking this in with Pharaoh’s birthday which is when Joseph was called to Pharaoh up from the dungeon (2 full years later).  Actually the passage says that it was the third day (clue) and that 2 full years had passed – making it again Pharaoh’s birthday??? – September fall time frame?  Also, did anything happen 2 years ago that would coincide with the Cup Bearer and Baker?

• Being from Nebraska, I know it’s corn season.  My father is an estate planning attorney and works with farmers and ranchers.  I asked him when early corn harvesting would be.  His answer:  “mid to late September”, and he has no idea what I’m looking for.  The correlation being to Joseph and the corn in Pharaoh’s dream.  Last year I saved a newspaper article that showed mounds of extra corn that is being stored up in bins (7 years of plenty and 7 years of famine).

2. Rosh Hashanah and 10 days to Yom Kippur.  I have been speculating about a couple of things, some of which I have no basis on.  I believe that the tribulation is 7 years, but I also have read many persons who believe it is 10 years.  I think this could be true.  I also believe that there are multiple raptures and that there may be a 3 year gap.  As a man, I believe that Jesus, though we are to be “married” to him will have with him Kinsman Redeemers.  What if Jesus comes for three groups at 1 year intervals (wild speculation, with no foundation really):  1. Bridegroom, Kinsman Redeemers 2.  Bride 3.  Wedding Party.  The rest who don’t fit into these groups to then go into the tribulation.  This leaves 10 total days to make restitution before the Sheep and Goat judgment.

I wanted to through this out for thoughts….
