I think that the return of the Lord may  well be October 20.  That means that October 13 would, of necessity, be the 7 day “warning” in the sign of Noah that Jesus indicated would accompany His return to rapture His Bride.

Here’s why.

I have posted a few times my belief that the 21 days delay of Daniel 10 could be repeated in the end times.  Also, the incident of Nebuchadnezzar being given 1 year to repent, or else face judgment, also found in the book of Daniel.  Since the Bible code seemed to give us the date of 9/21/2009 as the date of rapture according to the codes found at www.rapture5770-5775.com, most have since dismissed them as not fulfilled, thus not relevant.  Please don’t be too hasty about that. 

In the code is found the word “delayed” right beside the date of Rosh Hashana 5770.
That date was used because 9/21/2009 was the ACTUAL date set by the sighting of the first sliver of the new moon.  Thus, the Bible code may well be giving us a clue as to when.  Other evidences suggest a Fall rapture in 2010.  The October 20 date is being suggested strongly by evidences presented on Five Doves.  Maybe so, but if so, how did it get to be IF THE BIBLE CODE DATE OF 9/21/2009 IS CORRECT?

Let me suggest the following:  The word “delayed” was without time specificity.  So, how long is in the term “delay”?  I think 1 year.  Why?  Because of the picture of old Nebuchadnezzar who did NOT repent and at the end of 1 year, he was driven out of the palace to live and think like an animal for 7 years.  

                1 year delay, then
                7 years tribulation

Further, and more important, is Daniel 10, in which Daniel the prophet, had discerned by reading the scroll of Jeremiah (Chapter 29) that the Babylonians would have his people in captivity for 70 years.  Inasmuch as Daniel was taken captive himself on his 17th birthday and now his 87th birthday had come, he was asking God why they were still captive?  Instead of pouting, fuming and fussing, he gathered a few friends together and they went to prayer.  The scripture records that when 21 days had FULLY passed, he was visited by Michael the archangel and one whom I think was the pre-incarnate Christ.  This messenger informed Daniel that from the first word of his prayer, he was heard, BUT, He had been DELAYED by the angel prince of Persia to the point that Michael had come to help Him and now he was here for Daniel’s words (prayers). 

What a picture of the rapture.  Daniel immediately had a vision in which he was struck down “dead”.  He had no life in him, no strength, a picture of the dead in the graves?  He was “resurrected” and made to get up on his hands and knees.  Then he was strengthened to the point that he could stand.  This, I think is a picture of the resurrection and the transformation all in one vision.  Michael was there with Him as he talked with Daniel about the DELIVERANCE, another word for taking out.  Just as before, the type and picture are true to the event sought after.

Why was 21 days specifically recorded in scripture?  Why did the Holy Spirit not just cause Daniel to record “after a short time”, or “soon”?  I think it was because this time element is important to us, the watchers of our day.  After all, it was the watchers and the holy ones who gave Nebuchadnezzar his warning.  And what are we, the true believers, except watchers and holy ones?

Now, consider this.  It makes sense to me that if days are applied to persons when speaking of things like gestation periods, then perhaps years are applied when the subject is an institution, such as the Church.  Look what happens if this is carried out today.

The Bible Code gave us 9/21/2009, which was TRUE Rosh Hashana, Tishri 1, 5770.
The delay would therefore be, not a day, but a year, until 9/10/2010, which was true Rosh Hashana, Tishri 1, 5771.  Both years are in the Code.  Now, consider another point, namely that there are 3 sacred feasts of God given to Israel.  They are:

             Passover, which contains Unleavened Bread and First Fruits.
             Pentecost, which is free-standing
             New Year (Rosh Hashana) which contains Atonement and Tabernacles.

The last trump of New Year then could be the last trump of Tabernacles, could it not?  Therefore, from Rosh Hashana, or New Year 5771 (2010) to the end of the Feast of Tabernacles is, yes, 21 days.  Add to that a 21 day delay (total 42 days, also the number of the return) and you arrive at October 21.  So, in a nutshell, it may be that our taking out will be October 20/21, just as others have come up with another way.  This being just another confirmation of the same thing.  I am not saying that it will be, just whatching as you are and hoping, hoping, hoping.

            1988 – 2009  Rapture delayed              21 years
            2009 – 2010  Code delay                         1 year from 9/21/2009
            9/10/2010                                                21 days to end of Tabernacles 9/30
           10/21/2010                                               21 days from last tr

For those who are looking beyond this time, I pose just one more possibility that I have struggled with over the years.  That is, whether the calendar used by the Jews is accurate.  I am not sure that it is.  Here’s why.  I want to know about the movement of the sundial 10 degrees backward in the days of Hezekiah, which was his asked for sign.  It moved, the Bible says so.  If that movement was 10 days, and the calendar is off 10 days with respect to what is herein written, then the rapture could wind up being November 1.  That, by the way is, in church lore, the day the saints rise from the grave with October 31, all hallow’s eve being the time the demons and devils try to prevent the resurrection.  November 1 is called “All Saints Day”.

I won’t try to take it any farther that this, but we will all see.  AGAIN, I AM NO PROPHET, NOR AM I PREDICTING THIS, IT JUST SEEMS RIGHT TO ME.

Yours watching with you and in love with our Lord Jesus Christ
