Blessings in Yahusha, I believe, like others have posted here, that scripture is pointing to the rapture being this Feast of Trumpets, around September 29th (Elijah was a type of the church, and he seemed to know what day he was to be taken up!).  But before the rapture takes place, here is a list of things from scripture, I believe, we should expect to happen first: Damascus is destroyed as mentioned in Isaiah 17.  Syria is not mentioned as one of the nations that comes against Israel, during the Gog-Magog war of Ezekiel 38 & 39.  Since this Ezekiel 38-39 war takes place the same night as the rapture as mentioned in Scripture, should we not expect Damascus to be destroyed first?  Context of Joel 2:16, Daniel 5, Jer. 50 &51, Ezekiel 38 & 39, Luke 17:26-30. The Antichrist (John F. Kennedy) has to come back with all lying signs and wonders (area 51 Technology, cloning Gen. 3:15(?), etc as mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2, and Matthew 26 with Judas coming for the body of Christ (those who are asleep and not watching flee), John 666, etc. The church will be hated by all nations (Mt. 24:9), and blamed for something they did not do.  See Psalm 2, "Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed."  A great hurricane storm is going to come against the church, as seen in the storm the disciples were in when Yahusha came to them walking on the water, and Peter (type of the church) defied gravity as a type of the rapture.  We see this same type in the storm Paul was in (Acts 27).  Just as Nero burned Rome, and blamed it on the Christians, I suspect the Antichrist may do something on 9/11, and blame it on the Christians (Jer. 51:51, etc). There will be a great falling away in the church, as mentioned in 2 Thess. 2, Matthew 26, and John 666 as mentioned above. Daniel in the lions den must be fulfilled, with Daniel as a type of the faithful Church.  We see this in Luke 17:36-37 where we read, "Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.  And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together."  The eagles here represent the nation of the eagle.  Many of the five wise virgins (and others) will be rounded up and put into the death camps of end-time America Babylon.  We see this also in Daniel Chapter 5 where King Belshazzar takes the consecrated vessels (a type of us) of  Yahuah God, and try's to desecrate them, and also see Isaiah 18:7. Yahuah tells us to gather ourselves together, before the degree comes forth (the rounding up of Christians it looks like 10 days before the rapture?).  See Zep. 2:1-2, Isaiah 26:20-21, Joel 2:15-16, Rev. 2:10. We will see or hear of the army of Ezekiel 38, and Joel 2 mount up, and come against Israel the night of the rapture on the Feast of Trumpets.  What have I missed?? Scriptures teach in Jer. 50 & 51 and elsewhere, that Judgment falls upon America, the same day the rapture takes place, with Russia and China invading.  For those who miss the rapture, scripture says slaughter is prepared for those in end-time America Babylon (Isaiah 14:21).  That preparation has been going on for many years now (Death camps), and is also referenced in Rev. 2:23  "And I will kill her children with death ,,,.(Church of Sardis, reformation denominational movement),"  and in Matthew 24:28, "For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together (This is different then luke 17:37, and shows the camps become opperational after the rapture)."

In thee, O Yahuah, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness (Psalm 31:1). For the Lord Yahuah will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed (Isaiah 50:7)." Thank you, Theophilus
