"Rosh HaShanah Rapture?"

What a great question (sorry I have been away a few days).  Here's my thoughts:
  1. Rosh Hashanah is a Jewish holy day meaning "start of the year" but the real biblical name is Feast of Trumpets or Shouting, just as Paul said with a shout of an archangel 1The 4:16
  2. This prophetic day is fulfilled right after the end of the Tribulation. See Mt 24:29 and note "after the trib" and "angels" coming to gather (after they shout). Also compare the taking of Jericho how this began with a great shout at the start of day 7, just as the tribulation ends with the rapture at the start of millenium 7 after the 6000 years of man's kingdoms is over.
  3. No one, not even Jews, will be celebrating this day in the Beast's worldwide kingdom because they will all be worshipping him under his mark
  4. The Days of Lot/Days of Noah is a tricky analogy that I explain in its plain sense here: http://www.escapeallthesethings.com/days-noah-one-taken-left.htm
