I cannot give you a conclusive
answer to that question, but the signs pointing to
the POSSIBLE Rapture/Sudden Destruction on Feast of
Trumpets, Sept. 28--30 are numerous, and very hard to
ignore for any SERIOUS watcher. Some of the many
reasons for me to make this statement are the following:
1. In my 37 years of being a
Biblical watchman, I have never seen more excitement and
anticipation towards one particular day (with the possible
exception of Feast of Trumpets in 1988), among Bible
Prophecy watchmen.
2. Feast of Trumpets is always
the most likely day (but certainly not the only
day) in any particular year for the Rapture to take
place.
3. This is the very last Feast
of Trumpets to be observed before the start of the
1260-day Great Tribulation, which will begin on April 11,
2012. Therefore, we are running out of options, as
to when the Rapture/Sudden Destruction will occur.
Feast of Trumpets, Sept. 28--30, is the most logical and
likely day that we have left.
4. Jesus was crucified on
Feast of Passover, buried on Feast of Unleavened
Bread, resurrected on Feast of Firstfruits, and sent His
Holy Spirit, on Feast of Pentecost, to begin the Church
Age. God was trying to show the Jews that Jesus
was their Messiah, by causing the 4 most important events
in the life of Jesus to happen on the 4 Jewish Spring
Feast Days.
Is God still trying to reveal Jesus
to the Jews? Of course, He is. The next
important event in the life of Jesus is His Coming for His
Bride, at the Rapture, accompanied by the sound of the
TRUMPET (1st Thessalonians 4:16). The next Feast Day
to be fulfilled is the the fifth Feast, the Feast of
TRUMPETS. The Rapture seems to be the logical
and perfect fit, just like the 6th Feast,
the Feast of Atonement, Sept. 23, 2015, is the
perfect fit for the literal 2nd Coming of Christ.
5. Many believe that when
Jesus said that "No man knows the day or the hour", He was
referring to Feast of Trumpets, as the time of the
Rapture. This is the only Feast Day when "No man
knows the day or the hour". This day is the
Jewish New Year. Until the first sliver of the new
moon is sighted in Jerusalem, the Jewish New Year, Feast
of Trumpets, cannot begin. It could take place
at any time over a 48-hour period, but nobody knows for
sure the exact day or hour. Therefore, the Jews now
observe Feast of Trumpets, over two days. Therefore,
Feast of Trumpets became known by the Jewish idiom
of "No man knows the day or the hour".
6. Numerous in-depth studies,
by serious Bible Prophecy scholars, have been
done over the years on the possible correlation between
the Rapture of the Bride and Feast of Trumpets.
There is much more that seems to tie these two events
together, besides #4 and #5 above. Every year,
Feast of Trumpets, Roshashana, is a day of heightened
expectancy, for the possible Rapture of the Bride to take
place. NEVER has there been a Roshashana with any
more heightened expectancy, than Feast of Trumpets, Sept.
28--30, 2011!!!
7. The Jewish calendar shows
Feast of Trumpets to be on Sept. 29th, which means it will
actually begin on Sept. 28th, at sunset in Jerusalem, if
the new moon has been sighted before that time.
If the first sighting happens after sunset
on Sept. 28th in Jerusalem, then the Jewish New Year,
Feast of Trumpets, will begin in the evening
of Sept. 29th. The Biblical meaning of the
#29 is DEPARTURE!!! Could this be a sign that our
DEPARTURE (the Rapture) will take place on this
day?!!
8. It is certainly worth
noting that Sept. 29th seems to be a day of
great historical significance. Many Bible
scholars believe that Sept. 29th is the birthday of
Jesus. Also, it was on Sept. 29, 2008, ONCE
AGAIN ON FEAST OF TRUMPETS, that we experienced the great
sign of the record-setting drop of the stock market of 777
points. Most watchers agree that this was the
day that signalled the beginning of the
economic birth pangs of the Great Tribulation.
Even though it was exactly one month later, on Oct. 29,
2008, that the Final 7 Years began, this date
of Feast of Trumpets, Sept. 29, 2008, could very well
be pointing us to the very same day of the year, on our
calendar, and on the Jewish calendar, for
the long-awaited day of the Rapture.
9. COMET ELENIN IS A
SIGN!!! Throughout history, comets have been
known as harbingers of coming disasters upon the
earth. Is Comet Elenin heralding the SUDDEN
DESTRUCTION upon our earth, and the accompanying Rapture,
which is the first stage of the 2nd Coming of
Christ??? Because the 1260-day Great Tribulation is
scheduled to begin in less than 7 months, I believe
the answer is a definite, and resounding "YES"!
It has been reported that there has been more written on
the internet about Comet Elenin, than any other comet
ever.
Few Bible watchmen believe that
there actually exists an amateur Russian astronomer named
Elenin. Speculation is that is may stand for ELEVEN
(ELE) NINE (NIN), signalling another
event of a magnitude much greater than the 9/11
event of the attack on the U.S. on 9--11--01. Other
watchmen believe the name of Elenin is a code for
Extinction Level Event--Nibiru is Near. Some
astronmers say that Comet Elenin is being closely
followed, in the same orbital path, by Planet X, or
Nibiru, which some believe will be much more destructive
than Elenin.
10. There is such a wide range
of opinions by so-called experts on Comet Elenin.
These opinions vary from Elenin having absolutely no
effect on Earth, to cataclysmic
destruction. Therefore, it has become very
difficult for watchers to discern the importance and
significance of Elenin. If nothing else, I
believe, because of the extreme lateness of the
hour in which we live, that Comet Elenin is a sign
for us. However, I want to bring out two other
points about this comet.
In the past couple of years, the
three most significant earthquake warning signs that we
have experienced have been the Chile earthquake (8.8?),
the Christchurch, New Zealand earthquake of
7.1, which destroyed over half of that city, and the
Mar. 11, 2011, Japan mega-earthquake of 9.0, and
resulting tsunami and ongoing nuclear
disaster. Most people do not realize that on
all three of these dates, Comet Elenin was positioned
exactly between the earth and the Sun. So, for those
who are saying that Comet Elenin is having, and will
continue to have, no effect on the Earth, this raises
some serious doubts to those claims.
Also, few people realize that these
three cataclysmic earthquakes were each separated by 188
days. This would bring the next 188-day gap to Sept.
15, 2011, two days from the writing of this post.
However, it is a few days later, on Sept. 26th through
Sept. 28th, that many astronomers are predicting all sorts
of possible calamities, including unparalleled
catastrophic earthquakes. Amazingly, some
are saying the Earth, because of Comet Elenin coming,
once again, between the Earth and the Sun, will
experience 3 days of total darkness on these three days,
which just happen to be THE THREE DAYS IMMEDIATELY
PRECEDING FEAST OF TRUMPETS, ON SEPT. 29TH!
I have no idea if this will really
happen or not, but it sure seems strange, and possibly
ominous, that the three days of POSSIBLE darkness
being talked about, are the 3 days immediately preceding
Feast of Trumpets on Sept. 29th. In Exodus 10, we
read, "the Lord said unto Moses...that I might show
these MY SIGNS." We read about one of these
SIGNS in verses 21--22, which says, "And the Lord said
unto Moses (a type of Christ), Stretch out thine hand
toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of
Egypt (a type of the Earth)...and Moses stretched forth
his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in
all the land of Egypt THREE DAYS."
11. About a month ago, I sent
out a post, written by another author, entitled
"Fascinating and amazing evidence connecting Elenin,
Revelation 12:1, and Sept. 29, 2011". Let me give you
a couple of highlights as to the extreme significance of
what will be taking place in the Heavenlies on Feast of
Trumpets, Sept. 29, 2011.
Jesus said in Luke 21:11, concerning
the last days before His Return, "And GREAT SIGNS
SHALL THERE BE FROM HEAVEN." Revelation 12:1 is
an exact depiction of what will take place on Feast of
Trumpets, Sept. 29, 2011!!! The verse reads, "And
there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman
clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet,
and upon her head a crown of twelve stars."
Quoting from this awe-inspiring
post, which is absolutely amazing and extremely
significant, "When Elenin enters Virgo's crown
on Feast of Trumpets, Sept. 29, 2011, we will witness
a VERY UNIQUE condition taking place in Virgo. Elenin
will be in the company of the 12 stars in the crown of
Virgo, the Sun will be clothing her shoulders, and
the moon will be positioned at her feet. In her womb
will be two stars--Saturn and Venus (which represents
Christ). THIS IS THE VERY
PICTURE OF THE WOMAN DESCRIBED IN REVELATION 12."
IS ANYBODY ELSE SAYING "WOW" BESIDES ME?
The author goes on to
describe in great detail all of what is taking place
in the heavenlies this Sept. 29th, and the extreme
Prophetic and Biblical significance of it. I would
like to encourage all of you to read this post, in its
entirety, posted below, by giving you this quote from him.
"The statistical probabilities of all these Heavenly
signs, occurring simultaneiously in Virgo, at the
appointed time of the Feast of Trumpets, Sept. 29, in the
year 2011, is incalcuable!"
12. Point #11
leaves absolutely NO doubt that the Lord is drawing
our attention to Feast of Trumpets, Sept. 29,
2011!!! The only question remaining is "Will
this be the DAY of the Rapture,
or is God simply drawing our attention to
the Jewish New Year, which will be the YEAR of the Rapture and Sudden
Destruction? In two short weeks, we will know the
answer to that question.
Comet Elenin could bring about the
Sudden Destruction. However, there remains another
distinct possibility, which is the beginning of World War
III, with the unleashing of the GREAT SWORD (Nuclear
weapons?) of the 2nd Seal Judgment of Revelation. If
Obama is the white horse rider of the 1st Seal Judgment,
and I believe that he is, then we should expect the 2nd
Seal Judgment to follow next. Rev. 6:4 reads,
"And there went out another horse that was red: and power
was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from
the earth, and that they should kill one another:
and there was given unto him A GREAT SWORD."
On Sept. 20--21st, the United
Nations will be meeting in New York City to discuss and
probably vote on a new Palestinian state inside of Israel,
and the dividing of Jerusalem. This is a date that
all watchers have been anxiously waiting for, for several
weeks. If the U.S. goes along with this, woe be unto
our country! The Sudden Destruction may be very
near! Regardless of the outcome of these discussions
and votes, the potential repercussions for war breaking
out in the Middle East soon thereafter, seem to be very
high. The Middle East is a tinderbox, just waiting
for an event to light the match. This very well
could be that match!!! The GREAT SWORD and
World War III and the Sudden Destruction may now be at the
world's doorstep!
If, indeed, the Lord is drawing our
attention to Feast of Trumpets, Sept. 28--30, as the time
of the Rapture and Sudden Destruction, we should be
looking for a very significant development,
possibly between Sept. 21--23rd, for a POSSIBLE 7-day
warning, as in the days of Noah. Will we see the
opening shot of World War III? Will the world
experience another catastrophic earthquake, possibly as a
result of Elenin being positioned between the Earth and
the Sun?
There you have it. 12 very
good reasons to be looking for the Rapture/Sudden
Destruction to POSSIBLY take place on Feast of Trumpets,
Jewish New Year, Sept. 28--30, 2011. This is,
without a doubt, a VERY SIGNIFICANT WATCH
DAY, that everyone should be taking very
seriously. Watchers have been anxiously anticipating
the last half of September this year, for many months
now. It is now here. We will all be very
surprised if nothing BIG happens this month.
I want to emphasize that I am making
NO PREDICTIONS about this date. I am simply
fulfilling my calling as a Biblical watchman and warning
everyone of the extreme potential of very dramatic
developments taking place in the last half of September,
and the many markers that are pointing towards Feast
of Trumpets, Sept. 28--30, 2011. I am totally
convinced that, at the very least, the Lord is letting us
know that the Jewish New Year, beginning on Sept.
29th, is the Year of the Rapture and the Sudden
Destruction.
In Luke 21: 25--28, Jesus speaks to
us, the end-time watchers, "And there SHALL BE SIGNS in
the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the
earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and
waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for
looking after those things which are coming on the
earth: for the powers of heaven shall be
shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man
coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And
when these things BEGIN to come to pass, THEN LOOK
UP, AND LIFT UP YOUR HEADS; FOR YOU REDEMPTION DRAWETH
NIGH."
If you are unsaved, or in a
lukewarm, or backslidden spiritual condition, you need to
call out to the Lord and repent before it is eternally too
late. Your time to get your heart right before the
Lord, is quickly drawing to a close now. Pray this
prayer, and mean it in your heart.
"Dear Lord, I know that I am a
sinner. I believe in my heart that you died on the
cross for my sins. Right now, I repent of my sins
and turn towards you, Lord. Give me power and
victory over my sins. It is my sincere desire to
serve you from this day forward. Show me what I must
do to be prepared for Your Soon Return, and give me the
power from Your Holy Spirit to do it. Thank you,
Lord, for saving me. In the name of our soon-coming
Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, Amen."
Maranatha!
