"Thank you Doves"


Thank you Doves, those of you who "voted" re. a possible Rapture on Rosh Hashanah.
A couple of responses had me Laughing Out Loud, especially that of Jim Bramlett.
 
Let me just clarify some of my ideas.
 
Of course, I know we can't just vote and it's going to happen.  I guess it would be more accurate to call it a poll.
 
And I wasn't trying to de-signify the dates of October 3rd or 4th.  The 3rd is the eve of Rosh Hashanah.  The 4th is the first day and the 5th is the second day.  It is a two-day feast (48 hours) -- from sundown in Jerusalem on the 3rd to sundown in Jerusalem on the 5th.  Although, I'm not sure that particular Jewish Churches go strictly by Jerusalem time.
In the 24 time zones around the world, going by Jerusalem time, would be on different days and at different times according to one's time zone.
 
Here's why I have said it would most likely be at the end of the 48 hours.  I Cor. 15:52 says it will be "at the last trump."
While I don't, personally, keep the Jewish Feasts, I believe the "trumpet" (Ram's horn) is sounded, periodically, throughout the 48 hours and there is, probably, one sounded at the very end.
Perhaps, someone who actually keeps Rosh Hashanah would know.
 
If it doesn't happen at that time, I believe "out of the blue" totally imminent would be my second guess -- rather than Pentecost.  Here's why.  The actual fourth Jewish Feast was not called Pentecost, but rather, Shavout. I believe Pentecost was it's fulfillment.
 
But it's correct to say that when it happens, we will be too busy to go around saying, "I told you so."
I just want to be ready, because I think the Rapture will be very, very soon.
 
Keep looking up!
