Hi:

 

Dec. 8 is the Eve of Hanukkah. The 9th begins at 6 PM on the 8th. Hanukkah is Dec. 9-16 this year. It begins and ends on Sunday.

 

I watched the video. The author thought that the Rapture would be on Dec. 15, 2012, which is Saturday, the Sabbath.

 

That seem's close. However, in Mat 24:20, Jesus said, "But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter (i.e., not on 12-21-12, end of the Mayan Calendar), neither on the sabbath day (i.e., not on Saturday)."

 

Jesus attended the Feast of Dedication on Dec. 21, 29 AD, winter, but the First-Trump Rapture doesn't seem to be on Dec. 21, 2012.

 

Let's see how Mt 24:15-24 could be interpreted. Separate the disciples of Christ from those that will be in Judaea.

 

Mat 24:15-22 says, "When ye (i.e., the disciples of Christ) therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

Mat 24:16 Then (tote, at the same time) let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

Mat 24:17  Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

Mat 24:18  Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

Mat 24:19  And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

Mat 24:20  But pray ye that your flight (i.e., the First-Trump Rapture) be not in the winter (i.e., not between Dec. 21, 2012 and March 21, 2013), neither on the sabbath day (i.e., not on Saturday, Dec., 15, 2012?):

Mat 24:21  For then (i.e., on the Sabbath, Dec. 15, 2012?) shall be great tribulation (caused by the Rapture on Dec. 14?), such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Mat 24:22  And except those days (i.e., the 1260 days of the great tribulation following the First-Trump Rapture) should be shortened (i.e., to 1040 days, Dan. 8:13,14), there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake (i.e., including the foolish virgins and the 144,000 Israelites) those days shall be shortened."

 

Joh 4:35  "Say not ye, There are yet four months (Teveth, Shevat, Elul and Nisan), and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white (barley shows white at harvest time) already to harvest."

 

We seem to be the olive harvest. No more olives can be harvested after Kislev 24. Fresh oil cannot be purchased for eight days. The wise virgins could be caught up in the Rapture when the trumpet sounds on Teveth 1, but the foolish virgins would not be able to buy more oil by that time.

 

Hag 2:18-23 says, "Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month (Kislev 24), even from the day that the foundation (i.e, Jesus) of the LORD'S temple was laid (i.e., conceived), consider it. 19 Is the seed (seed or child) yet in the barn (a saying meaning is she pregnant)? yea (YES, i.e., Jesus was conceived on Kislev 24), as yet the vine (Jesus), and the fig tree (Israel), and the pomegranate (meaning the upright), and the olive tree (Israel with us grafted in), hath not brought forth: from (i.e., AFTER) this day (i.e., after Kislev 24, the Eve of Hanukkah) will I bless you."

 

If the First-Trump Rapture is after Kislev 24, before winter, and not on Saturday, Teveth 1, when the trumpet is blown, has a good chance to be the date of the first Rapture.

 

Concerning the Last-Trump Rapture, we continue in Haggai 2.

 

It says, 20 "And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying, 21 Speak to Zerubbabel (meaning born in Babylon), governor of Judah, saying, I WILL shake the heavens and the earth; 22 And I WILL overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I WILL destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I WILL overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother. 23 In that day (i.e., on the Day of God's Wrath), saith the LORD of hosts (Jesus, Isa. 44:6), will I take thee (i.e., in the Last-Trump Rapture), O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet (a signature ring, maybe serving the Lord as in Rev 7:15): for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts."
