Hello John and Doves,
We have several watch dates coming up (dates depend on the calendar that you use):
I am using the Chabad calendar as this matches up with what I see that Israel uses for their dates/holidays. These dates are very much different from the Torah calendar/Creation calendar this year.
Nissan 1 (first day of the Hebrew religious calendar): April 5 (sunset)/April 6 (sunset) (Some think this might be the day the Gog War starts.)
Nissan 1: April 6 (possible Y2K-like issue with GPS satellites and devices; 'issues' may continue for a while after this date.)
Nissan 4 (Israeli elections) Netanyahu is facing some stiff opposition (President Trump's declaration on Israeli sovereignty over the Golan strengthens Netanyahu's position) : April 9
The Peace Deal to be released "immediately" after April 9.
Nissan 10 (the day Jesus rode the donkey into Jerusalem; possible start day of the 'prophetic clock; possible start date of the 1260 days of the Tribulation to end on Feast of Trumpets; it's also the day the Israelites crossed the Jordan River with Joshua): April 14/15
Nissan 15 (Passover) (possible start date for the Tribulation Period to end in the Fall Feasts): April 19/20
Nissan 15 - Nissan 22 (Passover Week): April 19 - April 26 or 27 (Last day of Passover - it's a 7 day time period for Israel, Reform Jews, and Progressive Jews and it's an 8 day time period for Orthodox, Hasidic and most Conservative Jews in the diaspora.) Includes the Feast of Unleavened Bread and Feast of Firstfruits - the day Jesus rose from the grave.)
Counting of the Omer (50 Day Count to Pentecost), starting Day One Nissan 15: sunset April 20
Iyar 5 (Israel's 71st Independence Day anniversary on the Hebrew calendar), actually to be celebrated on Iyar 3 to Iyar 4: May 8/9 (to avoid Sabbath desecration on Iyar 5).
Iyar 9 (Israel's 71st Independence Day anniversary on the Gregorian calendar): May 14
Sivan 6 (Pentecost/Shavuot, Day Count 50) - sunset Sivan 5 to sunset Sivan 6; some do through sunset Sivan 7 for a two day Feast Day (the anniversary of arrival of the Holy Spirit', possible Rapture day of 'the Church'): June 8/9
Other significant dates:
Yom HaShoah - Israel State Holiday - Holocaust Remembrance Day: May 1/2. "...remembers the 6 million Jews and non-Jews who perished in the "Shoah" (annihilation), and honors those who survived - and to say 'never again'!
Yom Yerushalayim (Jerusalem Day): June 1/2. Celebrates the liberation and reunification Jerusalem in 1967 - during the Six Day War.
Any of these could be our Rapture Day! The Gog War may start on one of these days also! And the Tribulation Period may start on one of these days.
The Rapture definitely has a day/date chosen by G-d. And it seems to be in our near future!
And now that President Trump has said that Israel has sovereignty over the Golan Heights and he is suppose to sign something next week when PM Netanyahu is here on March 25 and 26 (link below) - this delaration has really stirred things up in the Middle East with Israel's enemies! See the abcnews article linked below - this goes against what the U.N. has declared about the Golan. (This letter will be posted on Five Doves after this meeting.)
Maranatha!
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

(Let me know if I goofed somewhere - it's kinda difficult flipping through numerous websites checking out dates. :) But I like watching the various dates and having them marked on my calendar. We can add other dates as I'm sure I've probably missed some!)
Interspersed in our Spring 'watch dates' - we have Ramadan - May 5/6 to approximately June 4.
When is Ramadan in 2019? - When-Is.com
Ramadan in 2019 will start on Monday, the 6th of May(6/5/2019) and will continue for 30 days until Tuesday, the 4th of June.
Note that in the Muslim calendar, a holiday begins on the sunset of the previous day, so observing Muslims will celebrate Ramadan on the sunset of Sunday, the 5th of May.
Although Ramadan is always on the same day of the Islamic calendar, the date on the Gregorian calendar varies from year to year, since the Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar and the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar. This difference means Ramadan moves in the Gregorian calendar approximately 11 days every year. The date of Ramadan may also vary from country to country depending on whether the moon has been sighted or not.
The dates provided here are based on the dates adopted by the Fiqh Council of North America for the celebration of Ramadan. Note that these dates are based on astronomical calculations to affirm each date, and not on the actual sighting of the moon with the naked eyes. This approach is accepted by many, but is still being hotly debated.
Ramadan 2019 (1440) - When is Ramadan 2019 | IslamicFinder
Ramadan 2019 will begin on Monday, 6th May 2019 (according to Saudi Arabia) and end on Tuesday, 4th June 2019. Eid al Fitr 2019 will be on Wednesday, 5th June 2019. This is the tentative date as the actual date is contingent on the sighting of the moon of Ramadan 2019, the 9th month in the Islamic calendar (Hijri 1440). The length of the Month varies between 29 and 30 days depending on the sighting of the Shawwal Moon which leads to the awaited festival of Eid ul Fitr on the 1st of Shawwal.
Lailat ul Qadr
Lailat ul Qadr, also called the ‘Night of Power’ is one of the most coveted nights of the Islamic Year. It is one of the last ten odd nights in the month of Ramadan and is full of blessings. It please Allah (SWT) to see the Muslims fasting during the month to please Him. This month of Ibadah ends with the Muslim festival of Eid ul Fitr.

Trump's Golan statement draws strong regional condemnation - ABC News
Trump's announcement the day before was a major shift in American policy and gives Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a political boost a month before what is expected to be a close election.
Damascus also said Trump's statement "clearly shows the U.S. disdain to the international legitimacy and violates its resolutions, especially Security Council resolution 497" while also threatening "international peace and stability."
Syria's Foreign Ministry later announced that a letter was sent to the presidents of the U.N. Security Council and United Nations over Trump's "irresponsible and dangerous statements over the Golan." The statement urged the U.N. secretary-general to confirm the organization's stance regarding Israeli occupation of the Golan.
