Hello John and Doves,
Back on 27 Jun 2021, I
wrote a letter to Doves about the New Wine Festival:
Since I wrote that
letter I came across these two videos on youtube.
These are on the Sue Keith channel.
She brings up some very
interesting points about the Feast of New Wine and it
possibly being the day of the Rapture.

In Pt 2 she talks about
her research on this feast day and has looked at various
calendars. She believes that the Zadok priest's
solar calendar of 364 days is the 'correct' calendar and
that the Zakok priests wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls - not
the Essenes.
The Temple Scroll (one
of the Dead Sea Scrolls) tells us about the New Wine
Festival - that it's on the 3rd day of the 5th month - 3
Av. She's found several groups that follow the Zadok
solar calendar - and their calendars differ by a few
days. So she believes this feast day is around July
18 - 25. July 18 is Sunday and July 25 is
Sunday. This is just a possible time period for the
Rapture.
(Who was Zadok?
Zadok was a priest in the time of King David. "Zadok
established a high priestly dynasty which continued until
approximately 171 B.C.E., both in the First and Second
Temple periods. He first appears, together with
Abiathar, as the priest in charge of the Ark at the time
of Absalom's revolt. He and Abiathar joined David in
his flight from Jerusalem, carrying the Ark with them, but
the king ordered them to return to the capital to inform
him of events in Absalom's court. There they had
freedom of movement and were able to deliver messages to
David about the rebel's intrigues..' Zadok and
Nathan the prophet were instructed by King David to anoint
Solomon king. "For his loyal service in anointing
Solomon, Zadok was made chief priest.)
Zadok
Sue tells us about the
Feast of New Wine - it is an annual festival of the
Lord: "Then they said, Behold, there is a feast
of the Lord in Shiloh yearly
in a place which is on the north side of Bethel, on the
east side of the highway that goeth up from Bethel to
Shechem, and on the south of Lebanon." Judges
21:19 This annual feast of the Lord is Feast
of New Wine.
One thing she did not
mention was the reference in John 2:1 to "On the third
day" of the wedding in Cana of Galilee...this "third day"
is the 3rd of Av - the Feast of New Wine. I believe that
this is understood in the story/verse. This is where
we are told about Jesus' first miracle - changing the
water into wine.
So much is about 'the
wine', as Sue points out.
The prophet Micah writes
about going to the vineyards
to get a cluster of grapes
to eat but he finds none - and like the grapes the good
men of the earth have been snatched away -
harvested. Micah 7
Peter tells us about the
Believers being full of the Holy Spirit and not drunk on
'new wine'. Acts 2. A hint to the timing of
Pentecost? Some believe that Pentecost is also the
Festival of New Wine. New wine is wine not old
enough to have fermented.
At the Last Supper, Jesus
says, "I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine
until THAT day when I drink it new in the Kingdom of
God." Mark 14:25 Will this be on some future
Feast of New Wine?
So, possible high
watch dates are July 18 - July 25.
Ken Johnson, author of
"The Ancient Dead Sea Scroll Calendar and The Prophecies
It Reveals", believes July 18 is the 3rd of Av. This
Sunday would be an excellent day for the Rapture!
Any day would be an excellent day! The sooner the
better!
There is an 'appointed'
day for the Rapture. Surely we are very close!
Pray for the peace of
Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
