I would like to point out to everyone a most interesting finding on this year's calendar. Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24th. SEVEN MONTHS later is September 24th, which falls on a Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath.. The very next day, Sept. 25th at sundown begins the two day Feast of Trumpets, also known as Rosh Hashanah.
Could the Rapture occur around the Feast of Trumpets, not knowing the precise day nor hour? This Jewish feast is always predicated to begin when the new moon is spotted on the western horizon, and the feast is a two day event because one does not know the day nor the hour that the new moon will be spotted. Does that sound familiar? For the Rapture we do not know the day nor the hour. So, the Feast of Trumpets at the last trump whenever that is?
Both the U.S. and the European Union have been fighting an indirect war with Russia over Ukraine, as military equipment has been pouring into Ukraine from the West, and many Russians have died as a result of this military equipment. There are estimates that so far in this war between 20,000 and 30,000 Russians have died. Vladimir Putin is not a happy camper, and one slight miscalculation could result in a much larger scope war! Could this escalate to the "sudden destruction / Rapture event"? See the end of 1 Thess. 4 and the beginning of 1 Thess. 5 in the New Testament.
We are already more than 74 years into these End Times (from the establishment of the State of Israel in May of 1948), and the final end time events are approaching------- Rapture, then the 7 year Tribulation Period, followed finally by the Second Coming of Israel's long rejected Messiah, Who is Christ (Micah 5:2, Psalm 22:14-18, and all of Isaiah 53).

P.S. Psalm 102:16 King James Bible states, "When the Lord shall build up Zion (Israel from 1948), He shall appear in His glory (Rapture and a little more than 7 years later, the Second Coming)." Prior to 1948 the last time the Jewish people were in their land as a free, independent people was 721 BC.
