This is in response to 1 Cor. 10:31 's post last week regarding Old Testament scripture that indicatesthe rapture and tribulation could happen in September around Rosh Hashanah. Have you alsoconsidered Micah 7?
Micah 7:1-2
1 What misery is mine! I am like one who gathers summer fruit at the gleaning of the vineyard;there is no cluster of grapes to eat; none of the early figs that I crave.
2 The faithful have been swept from the land; not one upright person remains. Everyone lies inwait to shed blood . . .
In ancient Israel, both the grape and fig harvests ended by the end of September. The narratorseems to be at this point "at the gleaning of the vineyard". Rosh Hashanah happening 10 daysearlier this year leaves ample time for the rapture, when the "faithful have been swept from theland."
I can also add to your New Testament verses that indicate a pretribulation rapture. Consider:
Luke 21:36
Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these thingsthat will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.
Rev. 3:10
Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trialwhich will come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
