"FEAST OF TRUMPETS - POSSIBLE RAPTURE"


Dear John and Doves:

Hi, this is Susie Parker back after several years of teaching in Church.  As you may remember John, healing has been our main thrust, however we have studied the Rapture for about 35 years and things really seem to be heating up!

This is a brief overview of the Rapture and its possible timing.

.  Leviticus 23:1-44 -  There are 7 Feasts of the Lord.  They can easily be separated
    Into 2 groups with Pentecost dividing them.

.  The first 3 foreshadow Jesus at His first coming, and the final 3 foreshadow Him at His second                     
    coming.  In the first 3 Feasts, Christ appears as a suffering servant and in the last 3 as a
    conquering King.

.  The 4th Feast, Pentecost, represents the harvest of the nations into the Church.  All
    four of the First Feasts have been fulfilled sequentially.

.  The Feast of Trumpets or Rosh-Ha-Shanah (the civil New Year) is next and is in
    September. Ancient rabbis believe September is the birthday of the World.  There is        
    also a consensus among scholars who believe that Jesus was born in September.

.  The blowing of the trumpet (shofar) symbolizes the Rapture in Rev 4:1.

.  Two New Testament scriptures fit well with this Feast.  They are Thess. 4:16-7 and
    1 Cor. 15:51-2.

.   There are many alternative names that support the Rapture being on this Feast. Four
    of them say are as follows:-

      1.  "The Hidden Day, when the raptured saints will be hidden from the
           tribulation."

      2.  "The Day of Judgment when the 7 seals of Judgment will be opened and
            the 7 year tribulation will occur."

      3.   "The Wedding of the Messiah.  While the earth suffers tribulation, Rev. 19:7
             says those Raptured will be in Heaven celebrating the Messiah's wedding
             Feast."

      4.   "The Coronation of the Messiah.  While the earth suffers tribulation, the saints
              will be before His throne casting their crowns before Him (Rev. 4:10).  The 
              Messiah will be adored as King of Kings and Lord of Lords!"

.    The Feast of Trumpets was known by the Jews as the "Unknown Day"  because it was
      the only Feast with an uncertain start date, because it was only known to be the day by
      the sighting of a new moon by 2 witnesses.  They refer to this Feast as "you shall not
       know the day nor the hour" reminding us of what Jesus said when commenting on the
       Rapture.  "But of that day and hour no one knows" (Mat 24:36).

.     September 19-20, 2020 is the Feast of Trumpets.  20+20=40 and 40 is a Biblical
      number that means testing, trial, probation, or transition.  

.     There are many examples of the number 40 being used followed by judgment in the
       Bible.

.     At this time, it is interesting that our President is named Trump.  It is also interesting
      that the Covid 19 is opening the door for the Anti-Christ when the world appears
      ripe for the Mark of the Beast (a vaccine?) ... And it is also important to mention
      the signs given in Mat. 24:7 of "famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in
      divers places" that are so prevalent in the world during this period of time.

COME SOON LORD JESUS
