Hello, John and Doves,When is the Rapture, Mikey, if you're so smart? [Snarky snicker][Okay, y'all, fasten your seatbelts!! No smooth-talking here!!We're going to do some time travel, and it gets bumpy from here!]First, let us note how long the LORD was away from the disciples.Yeshua said,Sadness Will Be Turned to Joy16“In a little while you won’t see me anymore. But a little while after that, you will see me again.”
17Some of the disciples asked each other, “What does he mean when he says, ‘In a little while you won’t see me, but then you will see me,’ and ‘I am going to the Father’? 18And what does he mean by ‘a little while’? We don’t understand.”
19Jesus realized they wanted to ask him about it, so he said, “Are you asking yourselves what I meant? I said in a little while you won’t see me, but a little while after that you will see me again. 20I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn over what is going to happen to me, but the world will rejoice. You will grieve, but your grief will suddenly turn to wonderful joy.
________________________________________________________In Jesus' case, "a little while" turned out to be about 39 hours."The ninth hour" [Mark 15:33] is about when Yeshua HaMashiach died on Friday, April 3, 33 AD.No need to present any proof except: http://www.aish.com/h/ or http://www.jewfaq.org/current.shtml.On any and all weeks of any year whatever since the Exodus--when Passover was introduced [Exodus 12], the Preparation Day begins Thursday, at evening. That day, the sixth day of the week, lasted until evening on Friday.It is written,Take care of them [the lambs chosen to be sacrificed] until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the members of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight.Of course, every Jewish day since Creation has had, and continues to have, two evenings.We observe that Friday, April 3, 33 AD, was the 14th of Nisan until Friday evening.This places the Last Supper on the start of Preparation Day (Thursday-Friday). In other words, the Last Supper must have been on Thursday evening, after sundown, April 2, 33 AD.Since the Jewish religious leaders disagreed on the exact interpretation of Exodus 12:6,Yeshua Ha Mashiach, the Lamb of God, was duly sacrificed on the 14th of Nisan, as per Scripture. That is to say that, as our dear and blessed Savior was dying on the Cross of Calvary, lambs were being slain for the Passover--the first day of Unleavened Bread taken to be 14 Nisan [Exodus 12:17-20]. As in Mark 15:33-34, He died at about 3 pm on Friday, April 3, 33 AD, still 14 Nisan 3792.Take note of that date. It will prove important.___________________________________________________________Now, class, why did Mr. Mikey mention Mark 15:33?Jesus says,“Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” [Psalm 22:1]Psalm 22 links to Psalm 24 by way of Rocket Science [Psalm 23--Shabbat, the day of Rest].Jesus is the the Suffering Servant, the Lamb of God, the Good Shepherd, and the King of Glory.The string of Psalms, 22 through 24, suggests adding time together.Jesus rose at or before sunrise, Sunday, April 5, 33 AD.Rocket Science comes to the rescue, once again, and gives us about 39 hours from 3 pm, Friday, 3 April 33.________________________________________________________Let's look again at the facts of the crucifixion:The Death of Jesus28Jesus knew that his mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture he said, “I am thirsty.”g 29A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put it on a hyssop branch, and held it up to his lips. 30When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and released his spirit.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Psalm 51:7 ESVWhat do the two passages above suggest? Is it not the thought below?I want you to understand this mystery, dear brothers and sisters, so that you will not feel proud about yourselves. Some of the people of Israel have hard hearts, but this will last only until the full number of Gentiles comes to Christ.
Romans 11:25 NLT
That is to say, we will not be out of here until the last Gentile member of the Church gets purged with hyssop [saved--Exodus 12:22]._____________________________________________________________So, then, "a little while" is about two days, once again.4A thousand years in your sightare like a day that has just gone by,
or like a watch in the night.
5Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death—
they are like the new grass of the morning:
6In the morning it springs up new,
but by evening it is dry and withered.
7We are consumed by your anger
and terrified by your indignation. [The Christian Era Diaspora, imho]

What are we counting toward? Various and sundried essays and letters have been written to demonstrate the pre-eminent plausibility that Yeshua HaMashiach will announce the 70th Jubilee on Yom Kippur [Leviticus 25:9] 5776, which begins on the evening of 22 September 2015.
What saith the scriptureth, uh, I mean Scriptureth?
1Sound the alarm in Jerusalem! [http://www.elshaddaiministries.us/messages/notes/5771/2011yomteruah.pdf]
Raise the battle cry on my holy mountain!
Let everyone tremble in fear
because the day of the Lord is upon us.
2It is a day of darkness and gloom,
a day of thick clouds and deep blackness.
Suddenly, like dawn spreading across the mountains,
a great and mighty army appears.
Nothing like it has been seen before
or will ever be seen again.
Folks, we're talking eclipses and other things here.

___________________________________________________________
The partial solar eclipse happens at about 7:30 UT, 13 September 2015--Rosh Hashanah 1 Tishrei 5776. http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEplot/SEplot2001/SE2015Sep13P.GIF
Jerusalem time on that date will be UT+3, because of daylight savings time. Therefore, the partial solar eclipse of 1 Tishrei 5776 will happen at about 10:30 am, Jerusalem Daylight Savings time.
___________________________________________________________
Lunar eclipse occurs at moonset, just before dawn, an hour neither night nor day, at about 5:23 am, Jerusalem time, on 28 September 2015--Sukkot [15 Tishrei] 5776. http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/LEplot/LEplot2001/LE2015Sep28T.pdf

Counting backwards is the tricky part. Should we count backwards? And from what supposed date? Yes, we should count backwards (as a bookend to the Ascension) from the moment the LORD touches down on the Mount of Olives.
_________________________________________________________
16Lord, in distress we searched for you.We prayed beneath the burden of your discipline.
17Just as a pregnant woman
writhes and cries out in pain as she gives birth,
so were we in your presence, Lord.
18We, too, writhe in agony,
but nothing comes of our suffering.
We have not given salvation to the earth,
nor brought life into the world.
19But those who die in the Lord will live;
their bodies will rise again!
Those who sleep in the earth
will rise up and sing for joy!
For your life-giving light will fall like dew
on your people in the place of the dead!
Restoration for Israel
20Go home, my people,
and lock your doors! [This is the Rapture, imho, when the door is closed, and no man can open. (Revelation 3:7)]
Hide yourselves for a little while [And this, sounding like the Rapture, is actually Eretz Israel, the people, hiding themselves in eastern Eretz Israel--the physical (Joshua 1:4)--near Bozrah. (Isaiah 63:1)]
until the Lord’s anger [KJV has indignation] has passed.
___________________________________________________________________________Okay, so we've got about 39 "hours" to work with. What do we do with them?
Well, 24 hours equals a day. So, if a day is as a year, then 24 hours is as a year.
If one prophetic month is 30 days (and it is), then one hour, in this context, is 15 days.
Then 39 hours means 39 X 15 days = 585 days.

This date may be completely off, as far as the Rapture goes,
for it is written,
The Day and Hour Unknown
32“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come. 34It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.
35“Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’ ”
~Blessings,
Mike
