Feast Days of 2012 minus 7 yrs = Oct. 24 thru Nov. 13, 2005 for the start of TribulationThere is too much evidence and too much happening prophetically to get discouraged about this year—2005, not being the start of the Tribulation and hopefully, the Rapture. If you believe in a 7-year Tribulation, it is much easier to believe in a Fall Rapture, as opposed to a Spring Rapture. The Rapture/Sudden Destruction is probably either at the same time as the start of the Tribulation or precedes it by a few days, when the Antichrist confirms a 7-year covenant.
The first 4 feasts were fulfilled in the Spring of the same year, the year of Jesus’ death and resurrection. It is likely that the last 3 feasts will ALSO be filled in the same year, the year of the Second Coming of Christ. If the pattern proves to be correct, then should we not look at the Fall Feast Days in 2012, and then back up 7 Jewish years from the Feast Days to see when the 7-Year Tribulation should start??? If Jesus returns at the end of the 7-Year Tribulation at the Fall Feasts, then the Tribulation must start in the Fall also, and therefore, probably the Rapture also. If we do that, you will discover that we have not even yet come to the beginning of the 21-day period when the Tribulation should actually start.
In the year of 2012, the calendar shows Sept. 17 as Feast of Trumpets, Sept. 26 as Feast of Atonement, and Oct. 1 thru 7 as the Feast of Tabernacles. If we back up 7 Jewish years, or 2520 days, from these Feast Days in 2012, we come to the period of Oct. 24, 2005 thru Nov. 13, 2005, for the possible start of the Tribulation.
I understand that the actual sighting of the new moon in Israel in Oct. 2005, may have been off a day or two from the calendar dates and may have thrown the Biblical Feast Days off by a day or two, and the same thing could happen in 2012. For simplicity sake, the rest of this article will assume the Feast Days are correct in 2012, and that God will honor the Calendar Feast Days, as this is when the actual trumpets will be sounding in Israel in both 2005 and 2012. I do believe that the Fall Feast Days will find their fulfillment at the literal sounding of the Trumpet in Israel.
The next question is which of the 3 Feast Days will END the 7-year Tribulation? If we knew the answer to that question and the year of the Second Coming of Christ, which ends the Tribulation, we could determine the first day of the Tribulation by simply backing up 2520 days. Backing up 7 Jewish years from the Fall Feast Days in 2012, takes us to 3 different dates for the possible start of the Tribulation. (Some might prefer to call this period the 70th week of Daniel, or the Time of Jacob’s (Israel’s) Trouble). Backing up 2520 days from the last day of Feast of Tabernacles in 2012 takes us to Nov. 13, 2005, as the possible first day of the Tribulation. Backing up 2520 days from Feast of Atonement in 2012 takes us to Nov. 2, 2005, as the possible first day of the Tribulation. Backing up 2520 days from Feast of Trumpets in 2012 takes us to Oct. 24, 2005, as the possible first day of the Tribulation.
I encourage all of the Doves to circle these 3 dates on your calendar, and please let the rest of us know if you discover anything that could possibly qualify as a 7-day warning. I would also encourage any of you to pass on any other information that might point to any of these days (give or take a day because of time zone differences). I have already found one possible 7-day warning that leads to one of these 3 days, so please read on. God is not obligated to give us any more warnings than He already has, but many of us believe there is a good chance that He could give us a 7-day warning.
There is a lot of different theories on how the Fall Feasts will be fulfilled at the Second Coming of Christ, so as to which Feast Day will actually end the 7-year Tribulation, I do not believe anybody call tell us for absolute certainty. I have always leaned towards the Feast of Atonement, but the evidence that I am suggesting leans towards the Feast of Trumpets. However, let’s take a look at all three of these days, and see what possible evidence we have.
First, if the last day of the Tribulation is on the last day of Feast of Tabernacles in 2012, then the first day of the Tribulation would be Nov. 13, 2005. We know that “As in the days of Noah, so shall it also be in the days of the Son of Man…” We know that the flood began on the 17th day of the 2nd month. If God honored the calendar Oct. Feast Days of 2005, then the 17th day of the 2nd month would be Nov. 20, 2005, exactly 7 days from this date. If anyone sees anything else that points to Nov. 13, 2005, please let the rest of us know.
A better case can be made for our 2nd date of Nov. 2, 2005. If Jesus returns on Feast of Atonement, Sept. 26, 2012, ending the 7-year Tribulation, then the first day of the Tribulation would be Nov. 2, 2005. Feast of Atonement seems to be the best fit for the fulfillment of Jesus returning at the Battle of Armageddon to end the rule of the Antichrist and end the Tribulation period. Also, on Nov. 2, we will be in the closing days of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month, when they have scheduled, in 2005, according to some sources, America’s Hiroshima, the nuclear destruction of the United States. I Thessalonians 5 presents a very strong case for the Rapture and Sudden Destruction to be at the same time. If anyone else sees anything else that points to Nov. 2, 2005, please let the rest of us know.
An even better case can be made for our 3rd date of Oct. 24, 2005. First of all, Oct. 24, 2005 is the LAST DAY OF TABERNACLES. See Ola’s letters the past few weeks that present a strong case for the Last Day of Tabernacles being the Rapture Day. This is the last day of the Jewish Holy Days for 2005, which began on Oct. 4, 2005. A week or so ago, someone wrote to Five Doves, making a case for Oct. 24th being the fulfillment of the 14,000 days, rather than Oct. 4th. But even if it pointed to Oct. 4, 2005, perhaps God was pointing us to the Feast Days of 2005, of which Oct. 4th was the first day. He did not come in the first watch (Feast of Trumpets). He did not come in the second watch (Feast of Atonement). Perhaps He will come in the 3rd watch—Feast of Tabernacles, Oct. 18 thru Oct. 24.
Remember now, the LAST DAY OF TABERNACLES, Oct. 24, 2005, plus 2520 days, the length of the 7-year Tribulation, equals FEAST OF TRUMPETS, Sept. 17, 2012, the start of the Jewish Holy Days. This is a precise calculation, right to the very day. IS THIS JUST A COINCIDENCE??? Many have made mention of the possible importance of the lunar eclipse on Oct. 17, 2005. This is exactly 7 days from Oct. 24, 2005. IS THIS JUST ANOTHER COINCIDENCE??? OR IS IT OUR 7-DAY WARNING???
A couple of weeks ago someone wrote in to Five Doves and mentioned the 3 most likely days in October for the Ramadan offensive (America’s Hiroshima?) to begin. From this Muslim study the last of the 3 dates mentioned was Oct. 24th. The other 2 dates have now passed. IS THIS JUST ANOTHER COINCIDENCE OR IS OCT. 24, 2005, THE DAY OF THE SUDDEN DESTRUCTION AND THE START OF THE TRIBULATION???The 17th day of the 2nd month for the flood in Noah’s day could parallel the Sudden Destruction at the start of the Tribulation. Many letters this year have suggested that Sept. of 2005 was actually the Biblical fulfillment of the Fall Feast Days. This could make Oct. 20, 2005, the 17th day of the 2nd month. This would be the 3rd day of Feast of Tabernacles on the calendar days. In previous studies, some have made a case for the 3rd day of Tabernacles to be the Rapture Day. All of the Feast of Tabernacles, from Oct. 18 thru Oct. 24 is a prime time for the Rapture and/or the Sudden Destruction. Throughout the Jewish Holy Days and the month of Ramadan, the nation of Israel will remain on the highest alert level possible. If the U.S. is attacked with nuclear weapons at the time of the Rapture/Sudden Destruction, it will only be a matter of days or hours before Israel is attacked.
I have saved the best reason for Oct. 24, 2005, to be the possible start of the Tribulation for last. I wrote a letter to Five Doves between Aug. 29 and Aug. 31 of this year stating why I believe that Oct. 23, 1998, began the Final Seven Good Years, before the Final Seven Bad Years of Tribulation. I have made reference to several different letters from various people in this current letter that I am now writing. If someone could take the time to give us the dates and titles of these letters so everyone could read them, it would be very beneficial to all of us and I am sure that God would greatly bless you for your efforts.
On Oct. 23, 1998, our then-President, Bill Clinton, signed a covenant with Israel, with the Palestinians, and with many, strengthening, or confirming the Oslo Accords of 1993. Please refer to my letter in late August as to all of the reasons why this particular date was so historic. I remain convinced that 1998, the year of modern-day Israel’s first Jubilee, was extremely important in Bible prophecy. I still believe that it was our 7-YEAR WARNING. I will only list 2 reasons why I believe Oct. 23, 1998. began the Final Seven Good Years. For the rest of the reasons please refer to my letter at the end of August, 2005.
One reason is that I, along with J.R. Church, Bob Schlenker, and many others, believe that Bill Clinton is the #1 candidate to be the Antichrist. Is it just another coincidence that EXACTLY 7 JEWISH YEARS TO THE DAY from Clinton confirming the covenant on Oct. 23, 1998, the Clinton Global Initiative took place. If the Rapture has not taken place and there has been no Sudden Destruction by the middle of November, then we must, as Bob Schlenker recently suggested in a Five Doves letter, take a good hard look at what might have taken place on Sept. 15—17, when many of the world leaders were attending the Clinton Global Initiative.
The other reason why I believe that Oct. 23, 2005, was the beginning of the seven good years before the 7 years of Tribulation, was that Saturn, Satan’s planet, according to Biblical astronomers, made its closest approach to earth, or reached opposition, at 2:34 p.m. (EDT), the EXACT SAME TIME THAT CLINTON WAS CONFIRMING THE COVENANT!!! This was astronomical timing at its best. SATAN’S MAN, THE PROBABLE ANTICHRIST,CONFIRMING A COVENANT AT THE EXACT SAME TIME THAT GOD HAD ARRANGED TO HAVE SATAN’S PLANET IN THE SIGN THAT REPRESENTS ISRAEL AND IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SIGN THAT REPRESENTS THE ANTICHRIST, MAKING ITS CLOSETS APPROACH TO THE EARTH FOR THE YEAR AND THE BRIGHTEST IT HAD BEEN IN 20 YEARS!!! Those of you who have been trying to make sense of the 2.34 regarding Vincent Tan as a sign should take a good look at the time this covenant was confirmed—2:34 p.m.
I remember this day very vividly, as if it were yesterday. I honestly believed we had just entered the 7-year Tribulation, even though I had always believed in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture. I now believe this was our 7-year warning, the Final Seven Good Years (see Genesis 29 and Genesis 41) before the 7-year Tribulation. On Oct. 23, 1998, at 2:34 p.m. (EDT) it was already Oct. 24 in Israel. EXACTLY 7 YEARS LATER WILL BE OCT. 24, 2005, THE LAST DAY OF FEAST OF TABERNACLES. As Monday is changing to Tuesday in Israel, it will be 7 years exactly from that historic day of Oct. 23, 1998.It will also be the sounding of the last trumpet of the Jewish Holy Days in Israel. The next day, Oct. 24-25, 2005 is known as the Last Great Day of the Lord. In Jewish tradition, Tuesday is the day that the bridegroom comes for the bride. Will this be the day Jesus, the bride, comes for his bridegroom. We have one week to find out. If anyone else sees anything that points to Oct. 23-25, 2005, please let us all know.
At any rate, I believe that because of the very rapid increase in birth pangs and all of the signs that seem to point to 2005 to 2012 being the 7 years of Tribulation, we should remain on HIGH RAPTURE ALERT THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NOVEMBER!!!
MARANATHA! ARE YOU READY???
