"WHERE ARE WE IN TIME
RIGHT NOW LATE IN THESE END TIMES?"
Imagine a line 18 inches long. Each inch is 1 month of
time. The reason for this is the approximate 18 months
from the first lunar eclipse at Passover, 2014 to the last
eclipse at Tabernacles, 2015 (4 lunar eclipses (thus the term
"tetrad") in 2014-15, at Passover and Tabernacles both
years). Now we are a little more than one month after the
last eclipse. So again imagine the line 18 inches long,
and we are sitting right now (Nov. 6th) just a little more than
1 inch from that 18 inch line. Now consider that as of YET
there is no HUGE event to associate with these eclipses, so IF
something HUGE happens VERY SOON, that BIG EVENT will be hung on
this tetrad of eclipses. So, it ain't over yet for this
year! Mid-November is the TWO MONTH SHIFT from Rosh
Hashanah, which this year was at mid-September. So, why is
that important? Consider that the Second Coming should be
around Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) in the year that it
occurs (based on Jesus fulfilling the spring Jewish feasts at
His First Coming at the time of each feast with major
events----He died on Passover, He rose on the Feast of First
Fruits (now known as Easter), the Holy Spirit descended at
Pentecost). Considering Scripture (Matt. 24:21 & 22
and Rev. 8:12) that the Great Tribulation is literally shortened
by one third (one third of the 3 1/2 years of the Great
Tribulation), then one third of that is one year and TWO
MONTHS. Working backwards from the Second Coming in the
year that it should occur at Yom Kippur, that would place the
Rapture happening TWO MONTHS LATER than expected (because of the
shortening of the Great Tribulation by one year and TWO MONTHS),
and we would normally expect in any given year for the Rapture
to be around Rosh Hashanah. And this really fits Matt.
24:44 King James: "At such an hour as ye think not (two
months after Rosh Hashanah?), the Son of Man cometh."!
Most serious students of end time Bible prophecy expect the
Rapture at Rosh Hashanah, not knowing about the "two month
shift" in Scripture.
Thus from a scriptural standpoint mid-November looks VERY
interesting! And I ask the following question. After
the three previous lunar eclipse tetrads marking HUGE events
(freedom for the Jews from European persecution (New World
discovered), establishment of the State of Israel, and then
capturing East Jerusalem), is it at all possible that THIS
tetrad just passed would mark absolutely nothing? Consider
that the last tetrad of lunar eclipses prior to this one
happened in 1967-68, and the next one is more than 500 years
from now! And consider the scriptural importance of Gen.
1:14, Joel 2:30, and Luke 21:25 that there would be signs in the
skies, especially in the End Times! So, we are sitting
only just a little more than 1 inch off that 18 inch line.
The HUGE event could still happen, and I make the case SHOULD
happen!
Here is a little further clarification. What is after
"freedom for the Jews from European persecution", establishment
of the State of Israel, and capturing the true capitol of
Israel, East Jerusalem? In the logical order of things,
the building of the Third Temple! And for that to happen
the Rapture MUST happen first! Then the antichrist can
step forward on the world stage, then the Daniel 9:27 covenant
beginning the 7 year Tribulation Period, and then Third Temple
construction begins. Finally, November has been a most
significant month for the Jewish people and Israel. Nov.
2, 1917----the Balfour Declaration (the British allowed Jewish
immigration into Palestine), Nov. 29, 1947----the U.N. Mandate
for Palestine (allowing Israel to form a nation, which they did
in May of 1948), mid-Nov. of 1977----President Anwar Sadat of
Egypt flew to Israel and the "peace process" began, Nov. of
1987----the first Palestinian "Intifada" (uprising against
Israel) began.
Well, I cannot put this down any more concisely and I rest my
case. Now let's see what the Lord plans to do. It
ultimately is up to Him, and we can only conjecture, but the
above is a reasonable theory based on Scripture. And again
I ask the question, after three tetrads of lunar eclipses on
Jewish feast dates marking HUGE events for the Jewish people and
Israel, could this most recent tetrad mark absolutely
nothing??????!!!!!!!! These tetrads are extremely rare
over time!
Rochester the Rapture Rodent
P.S. Why should we even bother considering the
above? Two huge scriptural reasons, and go look them
up: Revelation 1:3 and 2 Timothy 4:8! We ARE to look
forward to the Lord's coming, despite the fact that so many late
in these End Times want to shove this topic "under the rug" and
ignore it! This is NOT what Scripture attests to!
P.P.S. Here are the lunar eclipse tetrad years:
1493-94
1949-50
1967-68
2014-15
Next one: more than 500 years from now!
