RAPTURE AND TRIBULATION PERIOD MODEL
Fall 2026 to Fall 2033?
With the Rapture on July 23, 2026?

The following is a study that presents one’s revised Rapture and 7-Year Tribulation Period timeline. One is speculating and notice that in the headlines, some statements have a ‘Question Mark’. It is because it is only a working theory of what one sees and calculates based on certain ‘key’ dates and typologies ascertained in the Bible. It is for your consideration and discernment. Before one delves into the deep-dive, some context will be built upon the revised Fall 2026 to Fall 2033 Rapture-Tribulation model.

As is known and understood, the Doctrine of the Rapture is not a Salvific Issue. It is a secondary one but very important teaching from the New Testament. And there are ‘Shadows and Types’ of the Rapture even in the Old Testament that one can infer upon. One is convinced that the Rapture event is like the understanding of who and what the Messiah would be and come to do on the Cross of Calvary, it was hidden.
 
Not even Lucifer nor his Army of Fallen Angels comprehended it. It is because he and they are not All-Powerful nor have Absolute Knowledge. The Bride of Christ is in the same predicament, to an extent. However, we have the Mind of Christ, nor are in ‘Darkness’ the Scriptures say. And the Holy Spirit now permanently is sealed and indwelling in our very own being. He can give us glimpses and perhaps some clues as to the timing of the Rapture. But why now more than ever?

This is because many Brethren are convinced we are the Last Generation that needs to know all that more about it. Once that initial ‘Ephesian’ iteration of the 1st Church Period died off, who would have thought that the Church Age would have had to last ‘2 Days’ or those 2000 Year to come? In that case, every generation before this last one of all the prior 6 ones did not really need to focus on the ‘imminency’ of the Rapture, per se. This is if one is using the 7-Churches of Asia as a model, then it is really the last one, that of Laodicea that needs to ‘wake-up’ about it and be on the ‘Look-Out’, keeping the ‘Watch’.
 
Or at least the Bride of Christ needs to be more cognizant of it. But with that, one is well aware of ‘Rapturitis’, the ‘Rapture Roulette’ and Rapture Burnout. I can only speak for myself, as others can attest that as to ‘Date-Setting’, I only have 1 date. One does not have a ‘problem’ or issue with those Brethren that suggest a Rapture Date, necessarily. Some do it very often. Others do the same as one does in conjecturing and speculating, etc. But to those that adamantly declare, ‘Jesus told me’ or it is 1 Billion % going to happen? No. One presents it as a Theory based solely on conjecture and speculation.

Av 9 Convergence
But to the best of one’s understanding and efforts, such a Rapture-Tribulation model is built upon what one has studied for decades in attempting to accurately explain it. In one such case or factor is how one counts from the Exodus. And in so doing, one has theorized that the 99th Day from Nisan 15, the day after the Passover in Egypt is when the Golden Calf Incident occurred. This is how one surmised the theory of the New Wine being associated with Acts 2. And perhaps the anniversary of the Rapture will occur on that same day, in some given year yet to be determined.

Now, some Brethren have been adamantly teaching that the corresponding Feast of New Wine was and is on Av 9. All the while, one has stood firm also to be corresponding to a fixed July 23 date, etc. I also realized that other Brethren that have taken-up the Theory of the New Wine. They have a differing calculated date of when the Rapture is to occur pertaining to this Av 9 time-frame. This is because the day count from Nisan 15 is fixed. What is occurring now, due to the Hillel 2 Calendar or the Rabbinical Calendar is that because it is Lunar based, the Jewish Feasts or Moeds float against the Gregorian Calendar.

This is to mean that in some instances, the July 23, or ‘723’ New Wine First Fruit Feast will converge on an Av 9. And? Well, it so happens that for 2026, July 23 is on Av 9. Coincidence? Or Convergence? This is an example of how in such a year 2026, both calculations are ‘correct’ at the same time. That is neat. So, this is why one is excited about the 2026 Rapture Year scenario and a Fall 2026 to Fall 2033 Tribulation Period timeline. All that to say, July 23, of a given year is the highest Rapture Watch for me personally.
 
As the Rapture Doctrine was specifically revealed to the Apostle Paul, it was a Mystery also and still is. However, the Rapture date is set. YHVH has preordained it in Eternity Past. It will occur. But it is not ‘imminent in one’s estimation or understanding. Why not?. It might seem to be the case that from this side of the Rapture, it does look like it could be imminent. But one asks, when has YHVH ever done anything imminently? It seems every ‘move’, feast, event and interjection into Human history has been precise, to the year, month, day, week and hour.
 
One is philosophizing here, but consider that in one’s case, one realizes that the quest to determine or calculate the Rapture date is illusive. To some Brethren, studying the Rapture and the Tribulation Period is trivial or in vain. Perhaps. But one has come to know Jesus deeper and have appreciated just how majestic His constitution is in all of what His Plan of Redemption is about.
 
Consider that in the very Supper of the LORD, does one not realize that we proclaim, publicly the Rapture, as in Jesus’ promise to return for His Bride? So, one’s point in that context is that the Gospel has that Rapture ‘component’ already fused into it, but is not ever emphasized, etc. With that in context, one likes to introduce one’s revised 2026-2033 Rapture and Tribulation Period Timeline. One welcomes any critique as it is because as mentioned, all this is a working theory.

Feast of New Wine
And that the Acts 2 Pentecost is not the Jewish Shavuot. These theories have been based on one’s interpretations that suggests the Feast of New Wine is the 3rd Penta-Feast or Feast of Weeks or what the Jews call a ‘Shavuot’. There are 3 Shavuot’s as the Essenes celebrated them based on the discovery of the Temple Scrolls. Here is how they currently translate on the Gregorian Calendar.

1) Feast of the First Fruits of the Wheat = June 2 (the 153rd Day of the Year)

+ 50 Days

2) Feast of the First Fruits of the Wine = July 23 (Proposed Rapture Timing?)

+ 50 Days

3) Feast of the First Fruits of the Oil = September 11 (Speculated birth-day of Jesus)

The July 23 date is ‘723’ in the Gregorian Calendar is tied to the end of the Summer Wheat Harvest and the beginning of the Astrological New Year in Leo, etc. It has to do also with the opening of the Lion’s Gate that deals with the resurrection and ascension of the body. It is that one is following the Prophetic Patterns of Boaz and Ruth and how Jesus inferred the ‘End’ of the Age as a Harvest, that being a Wheat Harvest. It remain a theory.
 
The possible time-frame of the gap between the Rapture and Tribulation would then be from mid-July to then early-October. It would only be about 73 Days or 10 Weeks of a gap. And? Based on the public disclosure from Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz, the Senior Reporter for Israel365News and the Temple Institute, has stated that the Temple Ceremony Protocols can be readied in 3 Hours. And that the building of the Temple can be assembled in 4 Weeks. All the preparations have been done. It is that ‘fast’ now.
 
So, one’s point is that from the Rapture to the 1st Daily Offering will be just about right for both the Geo-Political arrangements of the Abraham Accords to be made along with the Religious aspect of the Abrahamic Covenant. Here is an Article that further delves into this rationale, if interested in the possible scenario. You can also listen to it through the links in the end notes based on one’s A.I. Synopsis and Summary.

THE SYNTHESIS OF ‘PEACE AND SECURITY’
Fusion of the Geo-Political with the Religious

Then why one is further calculating the start of the Tribulation Period to concur with the Fall Minor Feasts of Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah is based on one’s other theory. It is that the Covenant that will be ‘Confirmed’ with the L’Rabbim or the ‘Many Teachers’ will be the Sanhedrin of the 70. And the Covenant is the Covenant of Moses. It is because this has been the time-frame where and when the Covenant of Moses has been reaffirmed in Israel at key pivotal points in its history.

‘Confirmed’ with the L’Rabbim
And there have been ‘723’ connections to ‘September 23’ in the following ways. Realize that ‘723’, as in the 7th Jewish Month and the 23rd Day is always the 2-Day convergence of  Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah. Amazingly, it was when the October 7, 2023 HAMAS Attack occurred in Israel, their ‘9-11’. And then 2 years later, on the anniversary that produced the monumental Trump 20-Point Peace Plan Cease Fire went into effect on October 10, 4 days prior to ‘723’ in the Jewish Calendar of Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah. Coincidence? Perhaps.
 
I am not saying is right about it but am just sharing my ‘Journey of the Rapture Discovery’. This is based now on July 23, (723) converging with Av 9 in 2026. And then conjecturing that Yom Teruah of 2033 is extremely significant or even prophetic. It is because it occurs on September 23, 2033 (923). Thus, the revised 7-Year Tribulation Period model is from the following time-frame. It so happens that for 2033 AD, 7 years from 2026, Yom Teruah occurs on, wait for it, on September 23.

Fall 2026 to Fall 2033

As to the specifics of the model? Consider the following. If we reverse engineer the timeline from Rosh HaShanah September 23, 2033, here is the day count based on one’s new revised model. One conjectures that the return of Jesus to end the 2520 Day Sabbath Week of Daniel will occur, speculatively on Rosh HaShanah or Yom Teruah, i.e., Feast of Trumpets on that same ‘923’ date.

September 23, 2033 (923) – 1260 Days = April 12, 2030 – 1260 Days = October 30, 2026

Note how April 12 is the eve of Nisan 10 in 2030. Will this be the False Jewish Messiah, i.e., the AntiChrist mimics Jesus to ride into Jerusalem, but then stops the Daily Sacrifices at the 3rd Temple? October 2026 is when the Tribulation should start based on this revised model of the Fall 2026 to Fall 2033 time-frame.
 
Yom Teruah in 2033 = September 23
 
It seems we cannot get ‘away’ from this date ‘723’ or ‘923’ depending on the Julian (Roman) or Gregorian (Papal) counting of the Months. Note that if one starts the 7-Year Tribulation Period countdown from the Fall of 2026, the 3.5 midpoint mile-marker will put it in 2030, not 2029 as many had calculated. And? This throws a ‘wrench’ in the Apophis Asteroid Theory accenting the midpoint of the Tribulation Period, etc.  
 
2026 2027 2028 2029 (midpoint)  2030 2031 2032 2033
 
Then, October 30-31, 2026 falls on Halloween Eve or Cheshvan 19, 5787. Then note that from one’s ‘Famous’ or infamous New Wine Rapture July 23 ‘723’ date to the October Halloween conjectured to start of the Tribulation Period, is 100 Days out. Here is the breakdown. Based on the new Model for the possible timing of the Rapture event that concludes the Church Age, the year 2026 now needs to be considered.
 
End of the Age as a Harvest
If not, the upper limit of 2033 will then go beyond what is reasonably understood by the general Church Body to be possible. Alas, we do not know what we do not know. But one is still holding to a 32 AD Crucifixion Year and the start of the Church Age. Thus, the 2000 Year marker occurring in 2032 will be, ‘to the day’. Both being on April 14 and with a Blood Moon. One finds this amazing.
 
2026 (Rapture Year?) + 7 Year Tribulation Period = 2033 (Return of Jesus?)
 
But in considering ‘Complete Years’, then one has to look at 2033, not for the Rapture, but rather for the return of Jesus, the ‘Parousia’. If so, then it stands to reason if the Rapture is to occur sometime in 2026 and the Tribulation Period begins in the Fall of that Year. And as speculated, if that be the case, the subsequent 1000 Year Millennial Kingdom will conclude then in 3033 AD. And as shared, this happens to be the measurement of the Great Pyramid, 3033 Feet when using 483 Feet as the Height, based on the 483 Year Prophecy of Daniel.

2026 + 7 Year Tribulation Period = 2033 + 1000 Year Millennial Kingdom = 3033
 
More precisely, in one’s model the Tribulation Timeline is still from a Fall-to-Fall calculus, regardless of the Rapture’s timing. One is convinced that there will be a Gap of Time between the day of the Rapture and when the 1st Daily Sacrifice is to initiate the 1260 and 1260 day counts of the entire 7-Years, all-inclusive. As you may or may not know, one has been the original proponent of the Rapture event occurring during the Feast of the First Fruits of the New Wine.

______________________

So, one’s premises for the new Summer Wheat Harvest Rapture in July and the Fall 2026 to Fall 2033 Tribulation Timeline model starting in October are based on the following data points.

1) 32 AD was/is the Crucifixion Year.

2) 1 Day is as 1000 Years.

3) The Church Age is 2000 Years, all-insecure of the Tribulation.
 
4) The 2000 Year Church Age count is based on ‘Completed Years’.

5) The 2001st Year is when Prophecy is initiated, i.e., return of Jesus.

6) Jesus will fulfill the Fall Feasts in a similar manner He fulfilled the Spring Feasts.

7) In 2026, Av 9 is on July 23, (723) one conjectures, could be the Rapture Date.

8) July 23 is the Feast of New Wine that one conjectures corresponds to Acts 2.
 
To reiterate, this is a working theory as more research is needed for further details and calculations. Nonetheless, as a draft, one is revealing and sharing it. We will see what comes of it.
