Resurrection/Rapture a Fulfillment of the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) ?? Impossible!!
 
Hi John & Doves;
 
Yes, I'm still here with you and my absence and return is that of a long story of God allowing tribulation in my life, His sustaining me through it and His GRACE after it.
 
But now I have just a few comments to make!
 
The first is that of the possibility of the Resurrection/ Rapture happening on a Rosh Hashanah- Feast of Trumpets'?! I'm not saying that it cant happen at that time, but what I'm saying is that it has NO BEARING on the FULFILLMENT of that Feast day that the Lord has ordained so long ago to Moses for Israel!
 
To put it simply, those 7 Feasts of the Lord are to be REHERSALS of the Lord Jesus Christ to the nation of Israel!
 
The REHERSALS'? are as follows;
Beginning with Passover there are a specific counting of days to include the next feast'? and to the observance and subsequent fulfillment of the following feasts of the Lord!
 
Example: Passover is a set day'?! It is always on the 14th of Nissan! The Feast of Unleavened Bread'? begins at the same time and is long enough to include the next feast of which is First Fruits'?! The Feast of First Fruits'? is ALWAYS to be observed on the first day of the week following Passover!
 
It is NOT to be observed a month or a year or three years later! THE SAME IS OBVIOUS TO THE FULFILLMENT OF THESE FEASTS!
 
JESUS FULFILLED Passover on the 14th of Nissan, at the beginning of the Feast of Unleavened Bread and FULFILLED the Feast of First Fruits'? on the 1st day of the following week! Not a month, year or three later, BUT EXACTLY as the Lord gave the REHERSAL'?!
 
Then from the Feast of First Fruits'? there is a SPECIFIC counting of days (50 of them) to the feast of Pentecost'?! Again this is DAY COUNTING SPECIFIC'?!
 
JESUS FULFILLED this to the DAY! NOT a month or year or three years after the counting of the 50 days from First Fruits'? to the REHERSAL of and for Pentecost'?!
 
My point is this, If these Feasts of the Lord are Rehearsals of the Lord Jesus Christ's comings to this earth for a specific purpose (the Spring Feasts for His coming as the Lamb of God to lay down His life), then the Fall feasts MUST BE FULFILLED (for the establishment of His Millennial Kingdom on earth) in the EXACT same manner as were the Spring Feasts! They will be FULFILLED beginning with The Feast of Trumpets/ Rosh Hashanah and with the EXACT counting of days (10 of them), not a month or a year or 3 & ½ years or 7 years later) to the next Feast of Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement! And AGAIN there are an exact COUNTING of DAYS to the fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles!
 
In my opinion, these Feasts of the Lord are REHERSALS for the Messiah's 2 comings to the Nation of Israel for a specific purpose and EXACT FULFILLMENT!
 
If the Lord was so exact in His Fulfilling of the Spring Feasts at His 1st coming, why should we not expect Him to be true to His Word in His Fulfilling the Fall Feasts in the same EXACT MANNER?
 
Therefore, can the Resurrection/ Rapture'? be a FULFILLMENT of the Feast of Trumpets/ Rosh Hashanah?
 
In my opinion the answer is emphatically NO!! The only way it could be is if it were to happen 10 days before the fulfillment (here is the rehearsal) of The Day of Atonement and the subsequent fulfillment of the EXACT counting of Days to the Feast of Tabernacles! Of which, I'm totally convinced that the Feast of Tabernacles is for the beginning of the Messiah's Millennial Kingdom on earth! That would therefore put the rapture'? (if it were to be of any fulfillment of the Feast of Trumpets'?) at the time of Christ's 2nd coming!
 
Now as to WHEN can the Lord HIMSELF'? (1Thess.4:16) descend from heaven for the resurrection/ Rapture'?, I will leave off with this clue from scripture.
 
1 John 2:1  My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
 
Now, think about this statement of the Lord's through the apostle John! The PROMISE OF FACT'? is that WE have an ADVOCATE in Christ Jesus to the Father!
 
Now the simple questions:
 
1-   What is an ADVOCATE?
2-   WHY do WE NEED ONE?
3-   When do we no longer need one?
 
Answer these questions honestly and search the scriptures and I believe you will find just when the Resurrection/Rapture'? CAN happen!
 
In looking and longing for Christ's return;
