"What I am currently watching"


1.   I am thinking that Jesus will possibly come for us on resurrection Sunday, April 4/5, per the Jewish calendar.

(This timing would communicate to a number of folks left behind.  I do not believe God will stop revealing Himself after we go.)

For us as members of the body of Christ, we are in union with Him, now (I Corinthians 6:17).  Our union with Jesus is our salvation (Colossians 3:1-4).  We are simply waiting for new bodies to experience that Reality in more of its fullness, when we will actually being able to stand before Jesus, and be with Him, face to face.  We all are the "dead in Christ", because of the union. 

(Those who are alive and "remain" are those who embrace Jesus after we go yet will have to wait til a 40 days window ends [the sign of Jonah to Ninevah]. I will explain this a bit in the following.)

So, Jesus Himself, in my thinking, is our foremost "type/shadow" in trying to gain prophecy insights as it relates to the total body of Christ (the dead in Christ and also those who initially are "alive and remain").  In gleaning details from what Jesus did on earth prior, I am presented with very weighty information as to when/how we will might be taken home in my estimation.

What better timing for the dead in Christ to rise than on the anniversary of when Jesus arose?

God delights in revealing Himself to those with child-like hearts, not to those who see themselves as "wealthy" in terms of intellectual constructs.  Easter Sunday's significance will be understood by many who might not know Bible prophecy details.

The timing of the above (Feast of Firstfuits after Passover) dovetails with Easter Sunday on the Gregorian calendar this year.  If we are taken home at that time, then some folks who witness us getting removed will be given a clue as to what happened.  This detail sounds like something God would do.

Also, even though the April 4/5 Feast of First Fruits (to take place after the Sabbath) does not line up with popular Jewish thinking today (for they make the Sabbath after Passover as referring to the High Sabbath of the beginning of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, verses the regular weekly Sabbath, and is why they start their Omer count when they do), I believe that for those Jewish folks who are of the chosen remnant within Israel/Judah, they will "get it" because the Holy Spirit will reveal that to them.  Again, to me, this is something God will do.  God will be selectively revealing to some others what took place even though most of the world will not understand.

2.  The above timing of Passover starting at sundown on March 31st and through the daylight portion of April 1st, followed by three days (1/2, 2/3, and 3/4) matching the three days of personal darkness the followers of Jesus endured after His crucifixion, followed by the resurrection anniversary happening on April 4/5, all lines up with another calendar.  When I take into account what constellation the sun was in when Jesus established our covenant, the Lamb/Ram of God constellation, or Aries, (thinking in terms of Jesus being our true Alpha/Alef) and see this as the beginning of a year for the body of Christ, and also take into account the full moon to start a month (representing the body of Christ expressing the reality that Jesus alone is our full righteousness, being in union with Him), then April 1/2 is also the 1st day of the 12 month.  I believe this is when the 9th plague of Egypt, the three days of darkness, took place (per some traditional rabbinic thinking).  The three days of darkness that the followers of Jesus experienced lines up exactly with these three days of darkness of the 9th plague.  

Additionally, when I read the last chapter of Deuteronomy and the first chapters of the book of Joshua, I conclude that Moses died, not on the 7th day of the 12th month as is believed in popular Jewish thought, but Moses died (was removed) from the people right after the 3rd day of the 12th month, or the anniversary of when/after the original 9th plague of Egypt ended.  When I take this timing, and compare it to the popular Jewish calendar of today (and for this year), then the timing of when Moses "was removed" from the people (per the Aries/full moon calendar) is the same timing of Jesus' resurrection, and also the same timing for us also possibly being "removed" from the people. 

Recall that Moses had turned 120 years old when he died, a tie-in to the 120 years God referenced to Noah when He gave the future timing of His wrath judgement beginning.

3.  All the above also lines up with the dream/vision of the Swedish boy that took place back in, I believe, 2018, or 8 years ago. He saw us, like what Israel also got at the base of Mt. Sinai, as getting a "day after tomorrow" heads up on a Friday morning (Swedish time) with us then being taken on a following Sunday.  It just so happened that when he received that info back then, it was just before the weekend of Easter Sunday in 2018.  FYI, for those who want to research that account, be aware that the boy's father, who was interpreting into English what the son was communicating, made the assumption that the boy himself was referencing that particular Easter Sunday, though the boy did not particularly reference that upcoming weekend in what he conveyed.  The boy was detailing what he saw in a more general sense, though I now, in retrospect, find it very interesting that the timing back then was actually before an Easter Sunday, as I anticipate the same timing for us this year.

4.  The three days of darkness, I mentioned in #1 and #2 above, also lines up with the three days of fasting that Esther asked the people to perform prior to her going into the presence of the king to ultimately appeal to him to spare her people from the future events that were to unfold because of the evil plan of Haman.  Note in the account in the book of Esther that the king's edict was being recorded into multiple languages and these announcements were to then begin to be posted on the 13th day of the 1st month.  Things take time.  So, I am thinking that Mordechai did not learn of the edict until late on the 13th before sunset, or the morning hours of the 14th.  As Mordechai mourned in such a way so that he obtained Esther's attention, then I speculate that would have finally happened for sure sometime on the 14th.  So, when Esther asked that the people begin a fast, mentioning first "night" and then "day", I believe the people would have gotten word and then started to fast after sundown on the 14th, and thus actually when the 15th day of the 1st began.  This fasting for three days starting at sunset on the 15th lines up perfectly with the timing of when Jesus' followers also began their personal three days of darkness, and also the three days of the 9th plague's darkness per the Aries/full moon calendar.

(Might we experience some type of three days of darkness just before we go home?)

So, Esther going into the presence of the king to appeal to him to spare the people, (at an appropriate time she made her request known in light of who she was before), that this timing of her initially entering the presence of the king, would correspond to the timing of when we arrive in heavenly places if we are to be home on Easter Sunday.  I wonder if, from what the Holy Spirit will reveal to us up there, that we will also, when the time is appropriate, soon thereafter also gather ourselves before the heavenly throne and appeal to the True King that He also spare people we know and love down on the earth as another wicked man has plans for destruction in the near future.  I see Joel 2:15-17 as possibly a prophetic type/shadow of us doing this very thing:

"Blow the trumpet in Zion, consecrate a fast, proclaim a sacred assembly.  Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the aged, gather the children, even those nursing at the breast.  Let the bridegroom leave his room, and the bride her chamber.  Let the priests who minister before the LORD weep between the portico and the altar, saying, 'Spare Your people, O LORD, and do not make Your heritage a reproach, an object of scorn among the nations.  Why should they say among the peoples, Where is their God?'"

(As an aside with respect to the Esther account, I observe that the wicked, ruling man, Haman, was someone who had accumulated, in his wealth, a great deal of "silver".  I am thinking here of what is happening with the price of silver today and how some (individuals, banks, nations) have accumulated a great deal of it today.  Haman offered to give the king 10,000 talents of silver.  Per Grok AI, each talent was approximately 1200 ounces.  The total number of ounces of silver Haman had on hand to manipulate the king with was approximately 12 million ounces!  If I use today's price of silver, thinking simplistically at $100 an ounce, then Haman offered the king $1.2 Billion worth of silver in today's pricing.  Since the evil one is the god of the world system, what is one way he would influence the behavior of people, in positions of rulership, by others who had accumulated a great deal of silver, and to what end?)

5.  Jesus established a unique pattern for us in His final days on the earth prior.  After He resurrected, He first saw Mary and then ascended to heaven.  He came back down that same day and revealed Himself to the disciples, but not Thomas.  It was on the 8th day after that Jesus showed Himself to Thomas while expressing that those who believed without seeing were blessed.  There was a 40 day period of Jesus revealing Himself to chosen people before He ascended a second time on, what I believe, was the 27th day of the 2nd month.

Note: the 8th day of Jesus revealing Himself to Thomas took place within the total 40 days, just like Levticus 12 shows as a sequence of days for a first born male, and also what Mary and Joseph did after Jesus was born.  Jesus was born on the 15th of the 7th month (per my studies).  Mary's 40 days would have started the next day and ended on the 26th day of the 8th month.  The scriptures say that it was "after" her 40 days were complete that Jesus would have then been presented to the Father at the temple, on the 27th day of the 2nd month, the anniversary of when Noah was told to get off of the ark and to then start his renewed reality.  Keep in mind that when Jesus ascended the second time, it was on the same 27th day of the 2nd month date yet per the Jewish calendar.  Jesus had two ascensions with the second ascension taking place on the corresponding date to the nations' (Noah's) calendar that also matched the timing of when the "complete body of baby Jesus" was presented before His Father by Mary.  In other words, this indicates to me that the rapture event will be done in two phases 40 days apart, and at the end of which the complete body of Christ will be presented before the Father in heavenly places.

These 40 days are also seen in something Jesus also did prior, echoing the above.  Jesus was taken into the wilderness for 40 days right after He was baptized by John.  His baptism was a picture of Jesus' death, burial and resurrection.  Note in the account that it was when Jesus came up out of the water (symbolizing the timing of His resurrection) that the "Heavens opened" (I am thinking here of the disciple John seeing a door in heaven open in Rev 4:1, and also Jacob seeing the heavens open to him at Bethel when he was 77) and the Father spoke from Heaven (thinking here of the voice of a chief messenger we will hear also from heaven at the rapture).

So, 40 days immediately follows the resurrection timing in a couple of clues in the scriptures.

I wonder if these 40 days will also be when Jesus fulfills the 40 day warning sign of Jonah to a wicked and adulterous generation.  When, on the Gregorian calendar would that 40 day sign of coming judgement end?  On May 14/15!  When Israel turns 78.  Recall that after Jacob left home, and before he met Rachel, he was 77 years old when he also, like the disciple John in Rev 4:1, experienced an open door to heaven.  Israel of today is 77 years old up to May 14, 2026.

So, to summarize all of my "rambling-like presentation" above, I am watching a two phase rapture process that corresponds to the two ascensions of Jesus.  One on April 4/5 when the dead in Christ arise.  We will stay gathered with Jesus in the clouds until the second phase is completed on May 14/15.  Then, we will all go home together.

For what it is worth.

God bless you.
