THE RAPTURE ON ROSH HASHANAHFrom the study..."...the new moon can only be sanctified during daylight hours.""The new moon was sanctified when two witnesses see the new moon and attest to it before the Sanhedrin in the Temple.
This sanctification could happen during either of two days, depending on when the witnesses come. Since no one knew when the witnesses would come, no one knew when the Feast of Trumpets would start."(NOTE from Alan: if the rapture is to occur this year than the2 Witnesses will have to be in Jerusalem BEFORE we are taken up.)"The shofar blown on Rosh HaShanah is known as the last trump,""The gates of Heaven are opened on Rosh HaShanah so the righteous nation may enter (Isaiah 26:2, Psalm 118:19-20, Rev.4). Because the gates of Heaven are understood to be open on Rosh HaShanah, this is further evidence that the Rapture of the believers in Christ will take place on Rosh HaShanah.
One of the reasons for blowing the shofar is to proclaim the resurrection of the dead. The resurrection of the dead will take place on Rosh HaShanah." 1st Cor. 15:52
