"The Month of Elul - Rapture Watch"


 
Hello John and Doves,
 
Because of everything that is happening in the world and especially with Israel, we are in a high watch time for the return of Jesus.  Over the last few years some Doves have sent in letters on the Feast of New Wine and the Feast of New Oil.  Many, including myself, believe that Feast of New Wine was actually Acts Pentecost.  And I'm strongly leaning towards the Rapture on Feast of New Oil.  Ken Johnson has recently reported on his finding in the Hebrew translation of Thessalonians concerning the "Moed of His coming" (1 Thess 4:15 and 5:23).
 
Douglas Henney's letter last week has a link to Ken's video on this.

And here is my letter last week also on this:  Ken Johnson wrote a book about this: "Paul's Ancient Hebrew Thessalonian Epistles:  Proof of a Pre-Trib Rapture"
Possible Timeline of the Moed of the Lord
 
We don't have many Moedim left for this year - Feast of New Oil, Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Feast of Tabernacles.  It comes down to what you believe may prophetically happen on those days.  We still have the Rapture and start of the Tribulation ahead of us.  Where do these 'fit'?
 
So for those interested in the Feast of New Oil - I'm still watchful for the Rapture occurring on this Moedim, based on my and others letters, studies, happening anytime from September 14 to the end of the month of Elul. 
 
In this letter I also included my brief notes from a dream Pastor Dana had several years ago - about the month of September and the Rapture.  I believe that many of his dreams are 'future'.  Maybe this September dream is for THIS month!!
 
The Month of Elul:
 
The followers of the Temple Scroll believed the Feast of New Oil was on 22 Elul.  That is Sept 14/15 on the Torah and Chabad calendars.  Other calendars and others' calculations have other dates later in September up to the day before Rosh Hashanah..
 
The Torah calendar and the Chabad calendar has Elul starting on August 24, so the last day (29th) ends Sept 21/22 near the Fall Equinox, Sept 23. The month of Tishrei starts with  the sighting of the new moon on September 22 or 23. 
 
Also, does the phrase "on the last day" refer to the last day of Elul before Rosh Hashanah?  Rosh Hashanah starts the Ten Days of Awe/Repentance.  In John 6:54 Jesus says He will raise us up "on the last day."  And Martha told Jesus she knew her brother, Lazarus, would rise again "at the last day."  John 11:24  Were they referring to a specific day?
 
Jean Stepnoski had a very good letter 14 Aug 2022:  She wrote about 'the last day of Elul'.  (Some believe Elul is 30 days long - either way, 29 or 30, it is the last day of Elul.)
ELUL 30: LAST DAY
 
The month of Elul is the last month of the secular calendar- it is said to have 29 days. This Rosh Hashanah starts the year 5787.  Elul is a month of repentance.  The shofar is blown daily in this month, except the last day.  "In ancient Israel, in the month of Elul, the King would intentionally come from the palace to be in the field among the commoners."  It was their time to come 'face to face' with the King.

The Jews read Psalm 27 each day reciting "He will hide me in His shelter, He will conceal me under the cover of His tent."  Is this a reference to the Rapture?  The four letters of Elul are aleph, lamed, vav, lamed - an acronym for "I am for my beloved and my beloved is for me.".   The constellation for Elul is Virgo.

Pastor Dana's September Dream:
 
Ever since Pastor Dana Coverstone started reporting his dreams on Youtube back in 2020, I've wondered if they weren't for a future time, a future year.  Some of his early dreams actually had calendars with the months written on them.  The following dream was one that involved the September page of the calendar appearing in the dream.
 
He talked about his latest dream in an interview on the Jim Bakker Show with Mondo De La Vega.  "A Word For September 2020 - Pastor Dana Coverstone"  Jul 29, 2020  The Jim Bakker Show.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJVtFb4F6r4&t=222s

Near the end of this dream he says he saw the Heavens open and he saw the Lord with His angels; and the Lord said "Arise My bride, arise My bride and prepare to pray.  Arise My bride, arise My bride and prepare for battle.  And last He said "Arise My bride, arise My bride and prepare to see My face for I am coming soon and My reward is with Me"; he then hears the sound of a thousand shofars being blown all at once.  He awoke after this.
 
Pastor Dana thinks battles are coming.  He also said that the Lord only calls us His bride when He's ready to come get us.  He says he is not setting a date for the return of the Lord.  He says the Lord is waking the church up.
 
He said, 'We need to pray and get ready for what is coming. This is for all churches in America.  Warfare is coming against all of us.  God is calling us all to pray and this is what we need to do in the month of September to fight what is coming.'  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJVtFb4F6r4

He mentions "a finger appears and it writes "A solemn" in front of September (name of the calendar month) and "assembly" afterwards.  
 
Could that be reference to the Rapture?  A 'solemn September assembly' - calling us to Him in the clouds?
 
In Conclusion:
 
They blow the shofar on 1 Elul to 28 Elul.  They do not blow the shofar the day before Rosh Hashanah."
Shofar During the Month of Elul: How and Why - And how to confuse Satan - Chabad.org
 
Could that be because 'the shofar of the Rapture' will be blown 'on the last' day?
 
So, I am looking at a high watch time for Feast of New Oil through to 'the last day' of Elul.  Then on to Rosh Hashanah!
 
The last few days have been very trying for America and the world.  Charlie Kirk's assassination; the murder of the young Ukrainian woman, Iryna Zarutska - has sent us reeling at the evil here in America.  And the UN members voted in favor of implementing the New York Declaration for the two-state solution - the dividing of God's land.  Not good to be on the wrong side of God!
 
Evil is upon us!  The Jews may soon be experiencing what Micah prophesied!  (Micah 7).  The good men have vanished from the Earth, the Watchmen have sounded the alarm!  No upright person remains - all lie in wait to shed blood...
 
"But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord.  I wait for God my Savior."  Micah 7:7
 
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
 
Maranatha!
