Dear Ola, CAPS, John and Doves,
 
       I have been wanting to post this for about a week but have been busy.  After Ola Llori'spostings on September 13th,  "the Rapture and the Feast of Tabernacles" parts I, II, and IIIand CAPS posting on September 14th about Ola Llori's postings I thought I should sendthis now.
 
      I ran across the February 2002 issue of Prophecy in the News magazine and the covercaught my eye.  The article was by Gary Stearman intitled "The Prophecies of the NewSpring Feast".  I opened it and scanned the article and saw and insert that had the 22 lettersof the Hebrew alphebet and how they lined up with the 22 feast of Israel.
 
      I had no idea there were 22 feast.  The article went on to say that originally there were7 Feast and that over the years there were 12 added until 1948 when the last three springfeast were added,  hence the name of the article.   Gary went on to say that the feast being22 now as there are 22 letters in the Hebrew Alphabet means that they are complete andit was time for the Messiah to return.
 
      The article stated that the feast start off with Rosh Hashanna being the first letter or "aleph".My first thought was the 4th letter being "dalet" which stands for "door" and its implecationof the door or and the rapture. This has been discussed many times previously especially howRevelation chapter "4" shows John being raptured to Heaven and what transpires immediatelyafter that.  There are many other times in articles posted here showing how the number "4"implies the open door of the rapture.
 
      Now whats interesting is the 4th letter "dalet" lines up in Gary's chart with none other than"The Feast of Tabernacles!"   When Gary mentioned that it was a 7-day feast I immediatleythought of the Revelation Capter 1 verses 12 and 13 where John says that he heard the voiceof the Lord and he turned to see Him walking among the 7 golden candlesticks or the heavenlymenorah.  The Lord was addressing the 7 churches at this time as if this was there last warningjust before the rapture.  Could the Lord walking among the 7 candlesticks imply his warning the7 church's during the 7-days of the FOT?
 
      Some believe that Christ was born on Rosh Hashanna.  Others believe that he was bornduring Tabernacles.  I believe the reason was that the scripture where it says he "dwelt" amongus.  Im not a Hebrew or Greek language expert but understand that the word "dwelt"  alsocan mean "tabernacled".   It only seems fitting that if the Lord left a glorified body and tookon a clay body like ours on tabernacles and to live among us that we might give up our claybodies and receive our "glorified" bodies on tabernacles also.
 
      I believe it was Jim Bramlett who posted about a little girl who met Jesus and he told herhe would be coming some September.  Notice the message was that he would "come" someSeptember not that the rapture would be in September.  The Lord could come on the first dayof Tabernales which is in September and be above the earth watching for sincere repentancefrom his flock to see who will be the bride.  Maybe a 7-day warning and "Space to Repent"with the last day of tabernacles or 8th day being the day of the Rapture, in the month ofOctober.  This would still make the promise he would "come" in September a valid statement.
 
      One last thought.   Mrs. Agee stated that the verse "..many would see (the rapture) andbelieve"  would fit more with tabernacles than at any other time of the year in Israel.  Everyonewould be dwelling in booths outside, and what better place to call an assembly than over theHoly Land before our departure.  Even so, come Lord Jesus.
 
  In His service,
 Sam
