"fullness of gentiles"


To who will listen
I have seen many post on how many days until Jesus raptures his church. Everyone seems to want to link it to feast days and signs in astrolgy. There is only 1 thing holding back the rapture.
Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
 
The only thing holding back the rapture is for the last person to accept Jesus as his/hers savior. It could happen any day and has nothing to do with any of the Jewish specials days or holidays or feast days. Nothing to do with the alignment of planets or asteroids coming in or whatever.
 
Now please do not get me wrong, I think the time is very very near and could happen anyday. But as a Gentile and like most Gentiles, I have no idea what the Jews celebrate or how they celebrate. Once the "fulness of the Gentiles" has come then the rapture takes place.THEN the Jews may be able to calculate using the Holidays and Feast days. But please do not get discouraged if your timing is off.
 
We are to be watching and looking at all the events that are happening and how near it is but as for the time of the rapture, it could be any day.
 
I love reading the post on these different timings and dates and I encourage you to keep it up. I just pray people will not get discouraged when the dates do not pan out because,again, the rapture can happen any day and will not be tied to the Feast days. Why would God have an event that was kept secret form the Jewish nation happen on Jewish holidays?
 
Thanks
