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 Susie Parker
