Hello, John and Doves,Rowina, back in the day--before I knew about Tetrads and the Feasts of the LORD,I thought of Epiphany (along with All Saints Day and Ascension Day) as being the perfect day for the Rapture to occur.Surely, the LORD is holding His cards close to His vest. Maybe He's taking notes from the IDF (Israel Defense Forces). LOL~Blessings,Mike______________________________________________ http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/sep2013/rowina99.htm Rowina (9 Sep 2013)
"Concerning your post on the coming blood moon Tetrads"
Dear John,
You say you think the rapture may come before the Tetrads which begin at Passover of 2014, but then you say also that you think it may come on Yom Teruah in 2014, which is in the Fall and which will have the second of the blood moons. The Day of the Lord would then start in the midst of the Tetrads, on the second blood moon. But what if the rapture occurs just before the Tetrads, on a Christian feast such as Epiphany?
You mention the importance of the Greek word Epiphania, the "appearing" of light. In the Orthodox churches, January 6 is the Great Appearing, and is their Christmas (at least this is the day for the Greek Orthodox whom I have known).
Our English word for this is Epiphany. My husband died on Epiphany in 2009. If the rapture occurred on Epiphany in 2014 it would be exactly five years after his death. There was chanting heard in his hospital room from the evening before, starting at sundown, until the dawn of the day of Epiphany. The chanting was heard by everyone who came into the room, even the "atheist". We have never been able to understand what it means. It would indeed have started on the Eve of Epiphany, although we don't start days on the preceding Eve, as the Jews do. Epiphany was the day my husband went to the light. There was no one chanting in the physical realm in or near the hospital. The "atheist" checked it all out, inside and outside, in the snow. The "atheist" heard it and I am hoping he will keep considering its meaning, and perhaps understand its meaning, for he is very intelligent and wants to know truth.
I am hoping and praying that all who are to be enrolled in the Book of Life may sign up soon, so that the ark may leave the port!

Hi Rowina,
The rapture could well happen before the start of the first blood moon on Apr 15, 2014. We don't really know.
