Rapture Puzzle SOLVED !     (?)  It all points to Oct 4, 2005 Rosh Hashanah
 
For 6 years now, the Lord has answered my questions about these end times.  And from those answers, the puzzle of the Rapture has been put together, piece by piece.  I first became interested in Bible prophecy as I went to visit the Holy Land at new year?s in 1987.  I bought my first prophecy tapes, got hooked on the Left Behind series and then ?found? Rapture Ready.com the following summer.  Soon after, I ?found? Five Doves and Hal Lindsey Oracle.  It has been anything but boring, watching the events of the world unfold while continuing to learn what awaits the world from the book of Revelation.   ! Those prophecy tapes taught me why this HAS to be ?the? generation that will see the Rapture of the church?..and you all know it well: Israel became a nation again in May, 1948?and THAT began the final countdown.  I had never known that.
 
My first question of God was in the spring of 1999.  While I thought we could not know the year of the Rapture, maybe He could narrow it down a little for me by showing me the time of year, any year, when it might happen.  Within days, 2 sources (one on radio and one on TV) taught me about the theory of the festivals of the Jews being tied to Christ?s first coming, AND his second.  WOW!  What a great, and fast answer to prayer!!    The theory, the way I was shown, tied the Rapture to the fall feasts, specifically, Rosh Hashanah.  I know there are two main camps for the Rapture: Pentecost and Rosh Hashanah.
 
So, when 911 happened in 2001, I?m sure many of us were watching a week later when Rosh Hashanah came?.and then went.  Again, you can know the season of the year?.but not the year. (?)
 
Well, in the next few years, God continued to teach me many things I did not know about His word.  There are a number of things that now make ?perfect? sense, at least to me, that I never understood before.  One of those is the comparison of the Bridal Feast of the Lamb of God, compared to the Jewish wedding ceremony of Jesus? day.  What a wonderful story.    Another, just shown to me recently, about what Rosh Hashanah really means and how it ?must? be the time of year for the Rapture.  (Do a Yahoo search for: Rapture of the church on Rosh Hashanah-many sites)   And the last, most recent was yesterday with 2 (note, TWO different dove posts on June 27, 2005)  making an excellent case for the Rapture to be THIS year, on Rosh Hashanah.  Hmmmmmmmm.  Throughout this year, as you all know, there have been many, many posts pointing to THIS year, 2005 to be the year of the Rapture.
 
Another great lesson was about the ability to prophecy the exact date when Jesus was to enter Jerusalem the week before his death.  Once I saw this case in writing, it became evident to me that Jesus knew it as well.  He knew EXACTLY when he was to arrive in Jerusalem, and ride into the city on the donkey.  The whole prophecy of the 70 weeks of Daniel??.you all probably know it all better than I do.
 
Monday?s posts led me to another truly great website?? (Wonderful1.com)  It made a great case for the length of a generation:  14,000 days.
 
We have ALL struggled, I think, with two things:   The length of a generation, AND the date from which to BEGIN the count.  Well yesterday, two posts at Five Doves made the case for June 6, 1967 as the date to begin the count.  (Look at those posts on June 27 by Jim Bramlett and Stuart Cobbs.)  And, something I?d NEVER seen before???.the case for the length of a generation to be 14,000 days.   Hm.  It just made sense.
 
This past year, Miriam Brown wrote the most articulate and thoughtful articles pointing to this past spring.  Specifically, May 5, 2005.  She made a great case for this spring, and I know many of us wondered if she could be right.  Well, I have always been fascinated by the incredible details in the Bible, and what has NOT been said about those details.  Well, I have always wondered about the meaning of the 153 fish the disciples caught that morning when Christ joined them on the shore after his resurrection.  Well, coincidentally (?) if you add 153 days to the date of May 5, 2005 what date do you get???    October 4, 2005?..Rosh Hashanah.  Hmmmmmmm
 
Hey, who really knows?????   Just God??..but many of us are watching very closely.  Miriam?s articles closed with, ?Because of the present state of the world, I do not believe the world can last until 2012 (the next cycle of 7 years that she identified) without Almighty God interfering in the plans of men.?   It was years ago when I first heard of the south American Indians who had made predictions of the end of the world in 2012.  Well, it hit me that if you subtract 7 years from that date, you come up with 2005 for the Rapture.  I?ve seen this stated by a number of people in their posts as well over the years.   ! ;
 
So, anyway, when you add it ALL up?..all the Five Doves posts?..all the other input from Christian TV hosts and Christian radio programs on this subject??I think we ALL still want it to be this year??.to make a case for THIS year.  Not just because we WANT it to be this year?but, because it just makes sense that it IS?.that it COULD BE?this year.
 
These are interesting times??these certainly are the last days???exactly when?.??
YFIC, Randy
 
ps.  God has His date for the Rapture.  There is nothing we can do to make it happen earlier.  And there is nothing we can do to delay it. So, we can't "wish" it to happen on any given date.......nor can we stop it from happening.  But we can embrace it, because it WILL happen.....and the time must be near.
