There have been many posts regarding Chris' December 8th Rapture Watch including:Brian Barker has also made many posts regarding that the Rapture cannot be December 2007 or 2007 period. The Rapture will be on the Feast of Trumpets.Many hold this same position, (that the Rapture will be on a future Feast of Trumpets), for many good reasons, which I can't say that I disagree with.Consider that should the Rapture be sometime during December 8th - 11th, 2007, it will have occurred on the TRUE Feast of Trumpets.General Allenby captured Jerusalem on Dec 9th, 1917 and entered it on foot, officially at noon on Dec 11th, 1917 so both dates have historical importance. This was exactly 90 years ago.Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear? Genesis 17:17Sara delivered the child of promise, Isaac, after 90 years of life. Shall the Children of Promise be Raptured into Heaven 90 years after Jerusalem was delivered?The Feast of Trumpets is recognized to start on a new moon and is celebrated as the beginning of the civil new year. This new year many believe goes all the way back to the original "new" year at Creation.However, Moses was given a new, new moon to start a new year and a new calendar to commemorate leaving Egypt. I had thought about going back using the precession of the equinoxes to correct for the seasonal / solar drift, to use the new calendar started by God with Moses to come up with a corrected Feast of Trumpets:But now consider using the same procedure to correct for seasonal / solar drift all the way back to creation.It takes 25,765 solar years to complete one "precession of the equinoxes" cycle. If 2007 is 6010 years from creation (4004 BC to 2007 AD = 6010 solar years) , then the slippage is equal to 365.2422 * 6010 / 25,765 = 85.20 daysNow, lining this up with the lunar calendar one is almost 3 complete lunar cycles in precession, or late. Three lunar cycles = 29.530588 * 3 = 88.59 days which comes to just 3.39 days over.By the way, 3.39 days would take an additional 239 years to complete. Just for grins I added 239 years to the current Hebrew year of 5768 and came to 6007.But consider that the Feast of Trumpets does start with the new moon. Maybe the way of counting new moons in the Bible is as some have suggested really the dark moon which could bring us to December 8th.The official new moon starts December 9th, at 17:40 UT.The first observance of the new crescent moon in Jerusalem will be December 11th according to:Subtracting the 3.39 days above from sunset on December 11th, 2007 in Jerusalem which is 16:36 in Jerusalem or 14:36 UT brings us to Dec 11th - 3 days = December 8th, and 14:36 UT - (24 * .39 = 9.36 hours = 9:22) = 5:12 UT, or:December 8th, 5:12 UTFor your prayerful consideration.Shalom,Ted Porter
