HI:
I clicked on the first URL you included at the bottom of your
post. Here is some food for thought.
> The 7-year timeline (2009 to 2016) that

I agree with 2009 to 2016.
I think the Tribulation began at Pentecost, May 29, 2009, and
that Christ will return on the first day of the Jubilee and
Regnal years, Nisan 1, 5776, Sat. April 9, 2016. A Jubilee Year
has to be
preceeded by a Sabbatic Year, and 5775 is Sabbatic. April 9, 30
AD was the date of the
Resurrection. It looks like Jesus will return two times on April
9, in 30 AD on the Julian Calendar and in 2016 on the Gregorian
Calendar.

You are going by the Western date for Easter. I am going by the
Eastern
Orthodox date for Easter. They use the Julian Calendar that was
used in 30
AD.
I am hoping for the First-Trump Rapture on May 5, 2013, SUNDAY,
Iyar 25,
5773. That day is both Ascension Day and the Eastern Orthodox
Easter.
The Holy Fire at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem
appears
shortly after 2 PM on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter
figured on the
Julian Calendar which was in use in 30 AD. One year, someone
changed the
date and the Holy Fire did not appear. They went back to using
the old
Julian Calendar, and the Holy Fire has appeared every year
since. It looks
like the Lord is trying to tell us that the Eastern Orthodox
Easter is the
one we should go by. The miracle of the Holy Fire seems to
appear one time
each year to keep us correctly oriented.
It looks like Jesus acted out the Rapture on Ascension Day in 30
AD.
Job 11:6 says, "the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to
that which
is!"
Ecc_3:15 says, "that which is to be hath already been; and God
requireth
that which is past."
Acts 1:9-11 says, "And when he had spoken these things, while
they beheld,
he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10
And while
they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two
men
(probably Moses and Elijah) stood by them in white apparel; 11
Which also
said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven?
this same
Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, SHALL SO COME IN
LIKE MANNER
AS YE HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN."
Moses and Elijah probably will come to Earth at the time of the
First-Trump
Rapture. They were present at the Transfiguration.
Luk 9:28-31 says, "And it came to pass about an eight days after
these
sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a
mountain to
pray. 29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was
altered, and
his raiment was white and glistering. 30 And, behold, there
talked with him
two men, which were Moses and Elias: 31 Who appeared in glory,
and spake of
his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem."
The Revelation of Jesus Christ is like a miracle play. Like our
directors,
Jesus gave us a Preview.
In the Preview of the Rapture, Rev 1:9-11 says, "I John, who
also am your
brother, and companion IN TRIBULATION, and in the kingdom and
patience of
Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos (meaning
mortal), for
the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. 10 I was
(lit.,
became) in the Spirit on the Lord's day (i.e., SUNDAY), and
heard behind me
a great voice, as of a trumpet, 11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega,
the first
and the last".
At this time, to me, it looks like the First-Trump Rapture will
be on the
Lord's Day, Sunday, May 5, and the
Last-Trump Rapture will be on the Day of the Lord, Monday, Sept.
14, 2015.
Rev 1:12-18 is a scene in Heaven after the Rapture. John said,
"And I turned
to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw
seven golden
candlesticks (i.e., the 7 churches); 13 And in the midst of the
seven
candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a
garment down to
the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. 14 His
head and his
hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were
as a flame
of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned
in a
furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. 16 And he
had in his
right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp
twoedged sword:
and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. 17
And when I
saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand
upon me,
saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18 I am
he that
liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore,
Amen; and have
the keys of hell and of death."

I think the Jubilee Year is announced on the Day of Atonement,
then begins
the next Nisan 1, which is the first day of the Sacred, Regnal
and Jubilee
years.
I expect Christ to return on Nisan 1, 5776, Sat. April 9, 2016.
April 9 will
be the anniversary of the Feast of Firstfruits when Jesus was
resurrected on
April 9, 30 AD. That will be 7 months after the Day of God's
Wrath on the
Feast of Trumpets, Sept. 14, 2015.
Eze 39:11-13 says, "And it shall come to pass in that day, that
I will give
unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the
passengers on
the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the
passengers: and
there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall
call it The
valley of Hamongog. 12 And SEVEN MONTHS shall the house of
Israel be
burying of them, that they may cleanse the land. 13 Yea, all the
people of
the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the
day that I
shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD."
The day the Lord will be glorified is the day of the Second
Advent. For
there to be 7 months between Tishri 1 and the following Nisan 1,
that year
must be a leap year, and 5776 is a leap year.

I think the First-Trump Rapture will probably be on Ascension
Day and the
Eastern Orthodox Easter, SUNDAY, May 5, 2013.
I think the Last-Trump Rapture will probably be on the Feast of
Trumpets,
MONDAY, Sept. 14, 2015, the Day of God's Wrath.
Rev 6:17 says, "For the great day of his wrath is come; and who
shall be
able to stand?"
Then Rev 7:14 says, "These are they which came out of great
tribulation, and
have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the
Lamb."

I don't think the length of the day will change until the great
and terrible
Day of the Lord. That will be Jesus' Long Day, of which Joshua's
Long Day
was a type. The Earth will get hit by two asteroids (Rev
8:8-11), causing
this globe to be turned upside down. It will take awhile for
Earth to regain
its
equilibrium.
Isa_24:1 says, "Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and
maketh it
waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the
inhabitants
thereof."

I think the Jubilee starts on Nisan 1, 5776, Sat. April 9, 2016,
but the
Millennium will start on the preceding Feast of Trumpets, the
Day of God's
Wrath, Mon. Sept 14, 2015. Jesus will be seated at the Judgment
Seat of
Christ during the silence on Earth and in Heaven.
Hab_2:20 says, "But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the
earth keep
silence before him."
Rev 8:1 says, "And when he had opened the seventh seal, there
was silence in
heaven about the space of half an hour."
> Ruth 3:2 Is not Boaz, with whose servant girls

I think we are the barley harvest (Ascension Day fits), and the
Tribulation
saints are the wheat harvest (the Feast of Trumpets fits).
> Jeremiah 51:33 This is what the Lord Almighty,
the God of Israel, says:
> “Daughter Babylon is like a threshing floor

Trampling fits the wheat harvest. Barley is winnowed, thrown up
for the wind
to carry away the chaff.

I think the Tribulation will actually last 2300 days, from May
29, 2009
(Pentecost) to the Feast of Trumpets, Sept 14, 2015.
Dan 8:13,14 says, "Then I heard one saint speaking, and another
saint said
unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the
vision concerning
the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to
give both the
sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? 14 And he said
unto me,
Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the
sanctuary be
cleansed."

I don't expect anything to shorten the length of days, but the
Great
Tribulation will be shortened or no flesh would be saved. There
will,
however, be a long day when the asteroids hit the Earth on the
Day of God's
Wrath. Earth will be turned upside down on that day.
Isa_24:1 says, "Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and
maketh it
waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the
inhabitants
thereof."

That "Come out of her, my people" is the Last-Trump Rapture. It
takes place
on the Day of God's Wrath, just before his wrath hits Earth (Rev
6:17;7:14).

I think the large stone is the asteroid Wormwood, Satan's home
at the
present time.
Isa 22:16-19 says, "What hast thou here? (Babylon) and whom hast
thou here
(the Satan-possessed False Prophet), that thou hast hewed thee
out a
sepulchre here, as he (Satan) that heweth him out a sepulchre on
high, and
that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock (i.e.,
Wormwood, Rev 8:11)?
17 Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty
captivity, and will
surely cover thee. 18 He will surely violently turn and TOSS
THEE LIKE A
BALL into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the
chariots of
thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house. 19 And I will
drive thee
from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down."
Isa 51:9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD;
awake, as in the
ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that
hath cut
(lit., split) Rahab (Satan's planet, now our Asteroid Belt), and
wounded the
dragon?"

Psa_27:5 (KJV) says, "For in the time of trouble (i.e., Day of
God's Wrath)
he shall hide me in his pavilion (i.e., Heaven): in THE SECRET
OF HIS
TABERNACLE SHALL HE HIDE ME; he shall set me up upon a rock"
(i.e., Saturn).
The SECRET OF HIS TABERNACLE is not well known. I think it is
Heaven,
Saturn, the 3rd Heaven that Paul was caught up to. The altar set
on the
Earth and the Brasen Sea represented Earth with its oceans. The
two cubes in
the Holy Place represented Mercury and Mars. The cube called the
Holy of
Holies represented the third Heaven, Saturn.
A cube has the same dimensions as a globe that will fit in that
box. The
length, breadth and height of it are equal.
In 2Co 12:2-4, Paul said, "I knew a man (Paul himself, he didn't
want to
boast) in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body,
I cannot
tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
such an one
caught up to the THIRD HEAVEN (1. Mars, 2. Jupiter, 3, Saturn).
3 And I
knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I
cannot tell:
God knoweth;) 4 How that he was caught up into PARADISE, and
heard
unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter."
Even New Jerusalem is a globe. The length, breadth and height of
it are
equal.
Rev 21:16 says, "And the city lieth foursquare, and
the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city
with the
reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and
the height of
it are equal."
> Nuclear War and the Feast of Tabernacles
I don't think we will have a nuclear war. What will destroy
Gog's army is an
asteroid impact in the NE Mediterranean Sea. After this,
Damascus will cease
to be a city. A second asteroid impact will destroy Babylon (Rev
8:8-11, Rev
18:21).

I think the flying rolling thing in the sky is Satan's asteroid
Wormwood. It
probably will break in two at the Roche Limit, 11,000 miles out.
The
mountain-sized piece will hit the Mediterranean Sea. The other
piece will
hit Babylon.
Of the Sword of the Lord, Eze 21:30 says, "Shall I cause it to
return into
his sheath? I will judge thee in the place where thou wast
created, in the
land of thy nativity."

The church is caught up in Rev. 4:1. Rev 5:9 shows that these
are out of
every nation on Earth. The first Rapture takes place before
Jesus is given
the seven-sealed book. The first seal is broken in Rev 6.
Therefore, the
Rapture of the Church is impossible at the time of the 7th
Trumpet.
Revelation is arranged like circle clocks. Imagine putting a
rubber band
around 7 Coke cans. Six cans will arrange themselves around the
central 7th.
Draw circles like the lids on paper. Label the outer circles 1
through 6
seals, the center can would be 7, but don't label it inside the
circle.
Instead, draw a smaller circle clock in the 7th seal. Label
the 6 outer circles 6 trumpets, with the center circle
representing the 7th
trumpet. In the 7th trumpet, draw another circle clock. Label
these bowls or
vials of God's Wrath.
It can then be seen that the seals cannot happen at the time of
the
trumpets. The trumpets come out of the 7th seal.
Rev 8:1,2 says, "And when he had opened the SEVENTH SEAL, there
was silence
in heaven about the space of half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven
angels
which stood before God; and to them were given SEVEN TRUMPETS."
