"Is now the time?"

It is March 11, 2014.

It has been very quiet on the rapture front.  No one seems to have a message as to the timing of this event.    Current ideas run anywhere from April to June, 2014.  However, I think that it is could come earlier than that, as I will show in the following.  We never know when heaven will open our minds again, as it has in the past, and we see more clearly than through a glass darkly.  So, keep praying, keep looking, and be alert.

I propose that we pay more attention to the calendars, of which there are three of importance in my  thinking right now.

Can 2013 possibly extend itself into 2014?  Maybe.  Here is a brief recap covering the year 2013:

The Gregorian calendar ended December 31, 2013
The Julian calendar ended January 13, 2014 on the Gregorian, exactly 13 days later.
The Lunar calendar will not end until March 1, 2014 on the Gregorian when Nisan 1 will begin a new sacred Jewish year corresponding to our 2014.  

Rody Dominguez “official” announcement that the rapture would be before the end of 2013 truly may have until March 1, 2014 to run completely out of time.  That is when Adar 29 (Jewish December) ends the Jewish year.   However, there is also Adar II this year.  It is Sunday, March 9, in America as I re-write this.

We are almost past winter right now.  March 21, 2014  is the first full day of Spring, with March 20 being the Solstice.  Jesus counseled the folks to “pray that your flight be not in winter, neither on the Sabbath day “ (Matt 24:20).  Could it be that this prayer will be answered by heaven's mercy setting the rapture at the beginning of Spring?  “Rise  up my love, my fair one, and come away, for lo the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.  The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of the birds has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land” (Song of Songs 2:10-12).

There are possible elements of delay.  These may be:

The 21 days delay of Daniel 10 may be a type that has a future fulfillment now.  
The Jewish calendar could be off as much as 30 days in arrears.
God may be using the Jewish calendar exclusively.
God may be using the Gregorian calendar to show us in the West His plan.
God may be using all three, the Jewish, Gregorian, and Julian calendars and leaving us to figure  out how they match His plans.

The Song of Solomon is very old.  It tells of a Springtime event, as above.  It also tells of a time when the Gentile girl went to the valley of nuts to inspect the fruits.  That seems to be like April, May or even June (Chapter 6).

I am hanging in there with Rody Dominguez until there is no possibility of his announcement not happening.  That, to me is March 1.  Since that is over, consider this with respect to that.  March 1 plus a 21 days delay brings us to the first day of Spring, March 21.  On March 22, then, could be the destruction and rapture combination of I Thessalonians 5.  This means that the rapture should have occurred on March 1, but instead has been delayed 21 days due to an angel prince of the devil opposing the returning parties.  That links Rody's “end of 2013” to March 21/22.  This is iffy, I know, but it could be.
The sign of Noah and the sign of Lot are both mentioned in Matthew 24/25.  This means both water and fire.  Tsunamis (water) and meteorites (fire) could be the answer to both.  We could easily have both on the earth at one time.  

In the sign of Noah, there are three parts.  The first is 120 years to build an ark.  This brought the second part of the sign, seven days alert to get into the ark.  The third part of the sign  is the count of days within the ark found in Genesis 7 and 8.

For years I have searched for a good fit for the days separation while in the ark to events on the calendar.  I didn't know which calendar, thus everything had to be interpolated to the Gregorian.  I have always thought that trying to put the rapture on a feast day of Israel would be in vain.  It comes “at a day ye think not, the Son of Man cometh” Jesus said.  This is clear to me...it is not a  special day which we can make into the proper day.  But, one good reason I feel that this solstice time may be true is because of my long and diligent search for a “perfect” fit to the second and third signs of Noah.  

First of all, I found the 120 years overlay as it applies to the the Jewish nation today and have detailed it.   Briefly it starts on 8/29/1897 with the first Zionist Congress under Theodor Herzl, a major hero of the Israeli nation today.  It ends December 7, 2015 with the crowning of King of Kings.  I will gladly share it with anyone who wants to refresh his memory,  or know more about that.   While many discount it, but I believe the count is just too perfect to be merely coincidental.  

Second, I believe that we, like Noah, will have some sort of heads up7 days  before just as Noah was given in his day.  This will be March 15/16, the Ides of March and the Feast of Purim.  

Third, I believe that the days Noah and his family were in the ark is a fit over a solar year of events matching the Holy Spirit's revelation of the day counts within the ark of Noah and as applied to the year of coming destruction and rebirth of a new world order out of the ashes of the Phoenix, so to speak.  I may have found the fit at last.  If so, it could verify to us the timing of the rapture event, since that time is BEFORE the destruction, or rather simultaneous with it..

It is important to understand these day counts. This footnote found in the Schofield Reference Bible, KJV provides a look for us at the very careful count of days preserved by the Holy Spirit using the pen of His servant, Moses:

Genesis 7 and 8 footnote written and explained by Dr. C. I. Schofield:

(8:14)  The flood began in the 600th year, 2nd month, 17th day of Noah's life (7:11).  It rained 40 days and nights (7:12); the waters continued to increase (7:18), reaching their highest point on the 150th day (7:24), which figure includes the 40 days of 7:12.  The ark rested somewhere in the mountain range known as Ararat (i.e. Armenia, 8:4) on the 7th month, 17th day (i.e. 74 more days).  
There followed 40 more days before Noah sent out the raven (8:6,7), and three periods of 7 days related to the three releasings  of the dove (8:8-12), compare vs 10 “yet other seven days”).  Thus far  there were 285 days.  The period between the removal of the covering of the ark (601st year, first month, first day vs. 13) and the third sending forth of the dove is 29 days (deduced by 8:13 with the date of entering the ark, 7:11).  Finally, a comparison of 8:13 with vv 14-16  indicates another 57 days wait before Noah and his family went forth to the dry earth, or 371 days in all, which figure agrees when 7:11 is deducted from 8:14 ---12 months of 30 days plus 11 days.  (The Jews count both the beginning and ending day of a sequence). But the actual elapsed time was exactly a solar year.  This is  established by multiplying the 12 months of 7:11 and 8:14 by the
29½ days which comprise a lunar month.  The total is 354 days.  Add 11 days (17th to 27th of 2nd month, 7:11 and 8:14) --- a total of 365 days, one solar year.  
 
In my thinking, I needed the criterion for each count to match a significant date in American (Biblical Babylon) and/or Jewish experience.  It is important that each date have something to do with the rapture event and also the wrath of God.  This is what I have found, supposing the first  full day of Spring after the Solstice (Song of Songs 2:10-12) is the start point of destruction, then placing the same sequence of days over the coming year, one sees the following:

March 14/15 -March 21/22, 2014                                       7 days call into the ark
March 21/22 – April 30/May 1, 2014                                 40 days of destruction
April 30/May 1 – August 18/19, 2014                               110 days more destruction
August 18/19 – October 31/November 1, 2014                  74 days after landfall
October 31/November 1 – December 10/11 2014              40 days of waiting
December 10/11 – December 31/January 1, 2015             21 days of releasing birds
    December 10                                                                    Raven released (does not return)
    December 17                                                                    Dove released (returns, no trees/land)
    December 24                                                                    Dove released (returns, no trees/land)
    December 31                                                                    Dove released (returns with olive branch)
December 31/January 1 – January 22/23, 2015                22 days of preparation
January 22/23 – March 20/21, 2015                                   57 days for land to dry
March 20/21 – March 21/22, 2015                                        1 day to exit the ark

The total days in the ark were 365, one solar year, the measurement of seasons to be hereafter in the new world that Noah entered after the flood....our present day world.

Now look at what normally occurs on or near these days each and every year:

March 15                                                                      Ides of March/Feast of Purim
March 21                                                                      Spring, day 1
May 1                                                                            May day, maypole
August 19                                                                     Black Fast
October 31                                                                   Halloween (satanic evil day)
November 1                                                                  All Saints Day (resurrection)
December 10                                                                Intifada Day (Arab war on Israel)
      December 10                                                          Beginning of 21 days count
      December 17                                                          Hanukkah eve
      December 24                                                          Christmas eve
      December 31                                                          New Year's eve
December 31                                                                Year's end/New Year's Eve (partying)
January 1                                                                     New year's day
January 24                                                                   “Blue” Monday every year
March 20                                                                      Spring Solstice
March 21                                                                      Spring Solscice first full day
March 22                                                                      New world order rises out of chaos?

Italics indicates those days pertinent to Israel

From this last day of this solar count matching the days of Noah in the ark, that is, March 22, 2015, there remains only 183 days until the Lord Jesus comes at Armageddon,  September 21 to September 23, 2015.  In these 3 days,  I believe that He will put down all armies and destroy antichrist and the false prophet, and then, immediately following, the Jewish nation will mourn  for 30 days the fact that they killed their own Messiah.  That end October 23, 2015.  This is required of them in accordance with their Mosaic Law.  The scales will be removed from the eyes of national Israel and they will know Him whom they pierced.  
He will then, over the next 45 days be crowned King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  Daniel 9:24 details what the 45 days will involve:

> finish the transgression
>make an end of sins
>make reconciliation for iniquity
>bring in everlasting righteousness
>seal up the vision
>seal up the prophecy
>anoint the most Holy

Next after the anointing of the most Holy comes the Jubilee Year, most of which is in 2016, having in it the forgiveness of all debts, release of all slaves, and the return of all lands to the rightful owner.  Either including or after this year, the great Kingdom Age will begin.  (I personally think it begins with the anointing of the most Holy).  

As for us, we will have been in heaven during this awful time after March 21, 2014.  I hope so.

Maranatha
