"Sabbath Rest, Rosh Hoshannah
& Tabernacles"

"I
now believe that this year 2008, is the correct Jubilee Year and the rapture
will most likely happen on the Last Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles. This
will be on the 22nd of October 2008, according to the Jewish
calendar"
Hi Ola, I was interested that you are looking for the
rapture to happen at the end of the Feast of Tabernacles this year. I used a
slightly different calendar than yours, www.hebcal.com. It has the last day of Sukkot
(or FoT) at October 20, 2008.
There has been a lot of discussion at
fivedoves about the eclipses of 2015 possibly signifying the Advent of Jesus,
the Messiah, or the Second Coming. If that happens on Rosh Hoshanah of 2015,
which starts September 14, 2015, subtract 2520 days for the 7 Jewish or
prophetic (360 day) years for the Tribulation you get October 20, 2008, last day
of Feast of Tabernacles! Thought you might be
interested:

Also,
I noticed the last day of Feast of Tabernacles has this ritual connected to it.
Maybe it is a type for the seven years of Tribulation or the Sabbath rest for
followers of Jesus:
Hoshanah Rabbah (hoh-SHAH-nuh RAH-buh)
Lit. great
hosanna. The seventh day of Sukkot, on which seven circuits are made around the
synagogue reciting a prayer with the refrain, "Hosha na!" (please save
us!).

Hebrews
4:1-11 (New American Standard Bible)
Hebrews 4
The Believer's
Rest
1Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His
rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it.
2For indeed we have
had good news preached to us, just as they also; but the word they heard did not
profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard.
3For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has
said,
"AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH,
THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY
REST,"
although His works were finished from the foundation of
the world.
4For He has said somewhere concerning the seventh day:
"AND GOD RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORKS";
5and again in
this passage, "THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST."
6Therefore, since it
remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news preached to
them failed to enter because of (I)disobedience,
7He again fixes a
certain day, "Today," saying through David after so long a time just as has been
said before,
"TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,
DO NOT HARDEN
YOUR HEARTS."
8For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have
spoken of another day after that.
9So there remains a Sabbath rest for
the people of God.
10For the one who has entered His rest has himself
also rested from his works, as God did from His.
11Therefore let us be
diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through following the
same example of disobedience.
