"SCRIPTURE REVEALS 'THE DAY' OF OUR RAPTURE........"

Dear Doves,

SCRIPTURE REVEALS 'THE DAY' OF OUR RAPTURE......
 
2 Thessalonians 2:7-8
"For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming."
 
The Day "He is taken out of the way" is the Day of our Rapture ,and is also the day "the lawless one will be revealed". "He" is the Holy Spirit who is now restraining the lawless one who is the anti-Christ to be revealed that Day when "He is taken out of the way."
 
If we can know how much time there is between the day "the lawless one will be revealed" and the day 'the lawless one is destroyed at His Coming', we can then know how far in advance of "His coming" that "the lawless one will be revealed", and that also tells us the Day of our Rapture because the anti-Christ is also revealed that very same Day.  The following Scripture gives us how much time there is between  the day "the lawless one will be revealed" and the day 'the lawless one is destroyed at His coming' as well as how far in advance of His Second Coming the rapture happens.
 
Revelation 13:5
"And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months."
 
So now we know that the lawless one, who is the anti-Christ, will come into 'his power of authority' forty-two months (ie. 1,260 days) before the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus.
 
We can reasonably assume that our Lord Jesus Christ will, at His Second Coming, fulfill the prophecy of the three Fall Feasts of God just as He fulfilled the three Spring Feasts of God at His First Coming. The three Spring Feasts He fulfilled are Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread and Feast of Firstfruits (ie. Easter). He then fulfilled the Feast of Weeks, which is Pentecost, when God sent the Holy Spirit into the world to begin the Gentile Church.
 
The three Fall Feasts yet to be fulfilled by the Second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ are the Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles. The Day of His Second Coming on the Feast of Trumpets is the last day of the 1,260 days of authority of the anti-Christ "whom the Lord will consume the with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of his coming."  Therefore we now know that the anti-Christ will come into his power of authority on earth 1,260 days before the Second Coming of the Lord on a future Feast of Trumpets, and we now also know that our rapture happens on the very same day when the restrainer is "taken out of the way."
 
The day of the Feast of Trumpets set in the Book of Leviticus is Tishri 1 every year, and is set by the appearing of the first sliver of the New Moon in September or early October. The dates of future phases of the moon are now  projected by NASA computers. A very interesting thing is that no matter what the computer pre-set date is for a future Feast of Trumpets there is ALWAYS one particular day which is exactly 1,260 days prior to Tishri 1 of any future year, and that is the date of Nisan 10 which is 1,260 days prior.
 
Nisan 10 in every Hebrew Liturgical Year is always the 'Day of Palms' (ie. Palm Sunday in a Year of Perfect Order) which commemorates the day Jesus rode a colt into Jerusalem and was hailed as The Savior by His believers. Nisan 10 was also the day Joshua delivered the Israelites out of the wilderness into the Promised Land which is a 'shadow of things to come' when Jesus delivers His Church/bride out of the world into the Promise of Heaven.
 
   According to my calculations, the 'Day of the Lord Rapture' will happen on 'Palm Sunday' Nisan 10 in the 'Acceptable Year of the Lord' (Ie. the Jubilee Year) and in a Year of Perfect Order within the confines of the length of the last generation.
 
Then, the very next day, the first day of the anti-Christ's 1,260 day authority on earth will begin. Exactly 1,260 days later is the anti-Christ's last day (day # 1,260) of authority.
 
The very next day will be the 'Second Coming of the Lord Jesus' on the Feast of Trumpets/Tishri 1.
 
 
According to Your Word, Come Lord Jesus!
