Hello John and Doves,
Here are some interesting tidbits
that are suggestive of a Rapture in the month of Cheshvan:
Cheshvan is also called Mar
Cheshvan or bitter Cheshvan - "because it has no
holiday to make it joyous until the Messiah comes."
It is known as an "empty month".
Methuselah died in this month at
age 969 on 11 Cheshvan. "The start of the Great Flood
was delayed seven days so that a full week of mourning could
be observed for Methuselah."
Cheshvan
– The Israel Bible
So counting inclusively, as is the
Jewish way, the Ark was sealed on 11 Cheshvan (and
not 10 Cheshvan); seven days later the Great Flood started
on 17 Cheshvan.
Sarah and Rachel died in the month
of Cheshvan.
On 17 Cheshvan, Solomon's Temple,
the First Temple was completed. The Great Flood began
on 17 Cheshvan.
The month of Cheshvan
brings in the end of the harvests. And it's
the beginning of the rainy season.
The Prophet Micah prophesied about
people 'vanishing' from the earth after the grape/fig
harvest.
In this Youtube video from years
ago with JR Church and Gary Stearman, they talk about Micah
7:2 - "The goodman is perished out of the earth."
Perished is "abad" in Hebrew which means "disappear", "cause
to disappear." It's likened to Elijah when he was
taken up to Heaven. Micah is describing the time after
the Rapture and before the Tribulation period. Micah 7
is about "the saints that have been vanished away from the
face of the earth.".

It is the month 'reserved
for the Messiah'.
"Cheshvan is the only month with
no holiday, no feasts, no fasts. Traditionally it is
believed Cheshvan is reserved as the month the
Messiah will come. This month also plays a
prominent role in the story of Noah; the flood began and
ended in the month of Cheshvan."

The Hebrew tribe
associated with the month of Cheshvan is Manasseh:
Manasseh means "to forget, to leap up and away."
The Hebrew letter
associated with the month of Cheshvan is Nun:
Nun represents "faithfulness and soul."
Manasseh comes from the verb
'nasa' which "describes an upward motion, generally of
something that is being pulled up and out so as to remove
it. The verb occurs very often and can usually be
translated with 1) to lift or lift up, 2) to bear or
carry, 3) to take or take away."
The noun 'massa'a' "describes
clouds" and "the uplifted".
Manasseh - lift up or carry away
to the clouds.
Nun is the 14th letter of the
Hebrew alphabet. It has the numerical number of
50. Nun means 'kingship'. There are "14
generations from Abraham to David, from David to the exile
to Babylon, from the Exile to the Messiah."

Letter Nun — Resting on His Word
In this Doves letter from 9 March
2014, Will Schumacher wrote about the Hebrew letter Nun -
Nun represents the Messiah. And salvation. "It's
meaning is perpetuity or eternity." The Jewish sages
believe the Messiah's name shall be Nun.

Cheshvan later became the 8th
month on the calendar. The first month being the month
of Passover. In Exodus 12:2 "This month shall be unto
you the beginning of months: it shall be the first
month of the year to you." This new first month is
Nisan - a Spring month.
The 8th month is for "the
finishing and full completion of purposes." And it is
for "making a new beginning with God. It is a
time to return to God. It is a month of
revival."
Maybe this month will bring our
removal/protection - Rapture - from the coming
judgement/Tribulation period.
The Rapture IS a 'return to God"
and 'redemption from bitterness'.
Maybe Cheshvan will no longer be
an 'empty month'.
The sighting of the new moon has
been delayed in Israel to October 23. So the Chabad
calendar is one day off, 11 Cheshvan is November
2/3. 17 Cheshvan will be November 8/9.
Certainly dates I am watching.
Pray for the
peace of Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
