Sudden Destruction as in the Days of Noah?
With continuation
October 19, 2010
If it were not for the fact that the sun developed a 500,000 kilometer magnetic filament that has never been seen before until October 18, 2010, then October 18th would just have been another forgettable day. But with all that had been documented arriving on this day and the theme of Noah being sealed in the Ark, it looked like a natural Rapture fit, but it was obviously not. Yet, there is this magnificent sign in the sun that may be a final warning.
There still remains three more weeks before the drop dead date of November 8, 2010, if seven 360-day years are to fit within the 70 years since the rebirth of Israel or 100 years since events from the First World War. Until these coming three weeks are past, it is still possible for it to all work out as apparently scheduled for 2010 to 2017.
When the Church is taken out of the way, the Antichrist will be revealed. The question remains on how fast will Israel's neighbors attack her and how fast will the Antichrist move into covenant enforcement with Israel. Those are questions we cannot answer, especially since we will not be here. But one must keep in mind that most of Israel’s wars have been in a matter of days.
Of all the day counts landing on Heshvan 10 (October 18), 2010, one of the most intriguing was the x-class solar flares of Heshvan 10 (November 4), 2003. This was exactly 7 solar-lunar years prior to October 18th. It was another sign of the sun and on a day that speaks of a seven day warning period to the day of the Flood. This year the anniversary day of the Flood will be October 25th on the observed calendar.
The other timeline of 14,400 days and 1,440 days also ended on Heshvan 10, 2010 from June 7, 1967. The in-between date was Heshvan 17 (November 8), 2006 and the anniversary day of the Flood. Therefore, this timeline of 120’s incorporated two Flood days. With the timeline honing in on days of Noah, the next day of Noah after seven days could very well be important–the day of the Flood.
Again, with 3 weeks remaining for the validity of the 2010-2017 theory, we are left with only a few choices.
Now consider 1 Thessalonians 5:2-4:For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.When the Rapture occurs, the Day of the Lord comes quickly at a time people are calling for peace and safety. When the Restrainer is removed, all hell breaks loose in the world and those that remain will not escape it. Would not a Rapture on the anniversary of the Flood be fitting for such a description? It would indeed be the day that begins the second destruction.
And (they) knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:39
So while it seemed plausible to be raptured on the day Noah was sealed into the Ark seven days prior to the Flood, maybe instead we were only being pointed to the seven day warning period before the time of destruction. Considering where we stand with the data we know, this is about the best speculation that remains.
Indeed we are commanded to watch and it seems pretty clear that we are now in a very narrow slice of time that remains for it all to work. So between now and November 8, 2010, the day of the Flood looks to be the best candidate. All we can do is watch and see what may come.
October 27, 2010
Indeed, it is once again further along in time than anticipated, but it is still 13 days away from the final date of November 8, 2010. There is still time. However, once time goes past November 8, there will not be enough remaining time to squeeze in the 70th Week of Daniel before the Day of Atonement 2017.
At this point there may be other candidates for the day of the Rapture in these remaining thirteen days. Among these days that remain is Halloween, All Saints Day (Nov 1), Day of the Dead (Nov 2), Heshvan 27--the Noahic Covenant and end of the Flood day (Nov 4), and November 8th itself.
The next day up is Halloween. Many see this as an evil day, but it is also known as All Hallows Eve looking forward to All Saints Day. In 1517 Martin Luther nailed up his 95 theses that began the Reformation on this day. All Saints Day is November 1st and comes one week before November 8. If the Rapture were to occur on All Hallows Eve / All Saints Day, it would occur one week before the 70th Week much like the pattern of Noah being in the ark one week before the Flood. Just food for thought...
The next day up in the lineup is November 4. This day corresponds to Heshvan 27 and the day Noah came out of the Ark. It was the day of the Covenant and rainbow promise that God would never destroy the earth again by global Flood. Could judgment begin where it left off with phase two of the judgment period by fire? Again more food for thought...
After this comes November 8. On this "Moonday" of the new moon, it ends the available time. If sudden destruction means almost instantaneous, then this may be the candidate. Note: this day is Kislev 1 by observed and sighted crescent calendar. If we go by the concealed moon, the new moon day would be November 6 (and that could be a possibility!).
However, the other two dates at this moment seem to be more plausible of the options. A Rapture on All Saints Day would be appropriate on a day celebrating the saints. But it also fits a pattern over three weeks. The first day of Heshvan 10 and the bulk of indicators led to October 18. October 25 marked Heshvan 17 one week later and the anniversary beginning of the first judgment--the Flood. One week after that is All Saints Day--November 1. Then one week later is November 8. So the three week pattern is:
Flood protection, Flood, Rapture, 70th Week
However, one of the indicators from Heshvan 10, 2003 to Heshvan 10, 2010 started with x-class solar flares on what was November 4, 2003 (Heshvan 10). November 4, 2010 is the Noahic Covenant day of Heshvan 27. So was that a seven solar year warning? More food for thought!
There is still another interesting item to consider. The Hebrew Torah readings this month cover Noah and then Lot. And remember, Jesus spoke that He was coming as in the days of Noah and Lot. Those Torah readings end on October 29 with maybe a global overlap to October 30, just in time for All Hallows Eve and All Saints Day. http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/oct2010/jeans1026.htm
This then seems to be the remaining options: November 1, 4, 6, and 8. November 1 & 4 seem more plausible, but the bottom line is to be watchful on any day particularly between now and November 8. There is still time available.
As to November 2 and the Day of the Dead, they can have their own day, especially in the USA.
