Jeremiah 24:7 And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.

The Feasts/Festivals of YHWH 😀 

Blessings to Eddie C. at: www.hebroots.com for use of a lot of the info below 🙂

Hebrews 6:1 as it is written: 

“Therefore, leaving the (elementary) principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on to perfection (5047) …”

The Greek word for perfection is “teliotace.” It is the Strong’s word (5047). This word, perfection, translated as “teliotace” comes from the Greek word, “telios,” which means “completeness, full grown, adult, full·age, mature.” The Greek word, “telios,” is the Strong’s word (5046). The word, perfection, translated as “teliotace” means “completeness or full maturity.”

The greatest desire of a Christian should be to grow in knowledge and understanding of God after they are saved so that they can have a deep, intimate relationship with God, they can have a deeper knowledge of God’s Word and know God’s ways. This is the message of Jeremiah 9:23-24 as it is written:

“Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.”  (source info)

The Feasts/Festivals of The Lord YHWH – not of Israel :)The Feasts are God’s Plan of Redemption Through Yahshua (Jesus) 😀

All of the festivals are, at the same time, both historical and prophetic & teach about the Messiah (Yeshua), or Jesus. (source info) 

Levitcus 23:2 Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.

Holy Convocations are Dress Rehearsals of The Real Thing ::

The Spring Festivals/Feasts Teach About Yahshua’s First Arrival ::

1. Passover — Jesus Sacrificial Lamb of God
2. Unleaaved Bread — Jesus placed in the Tomb
3. First Fruits — Jesus Raised From The Dead
4. Pentecost — The Holy Spirit Sent

The Fall Feasts Teach About Jesus/Yeshua/Yahshua’s Second Arrival ::

1. The Feast of Trumpets/Yom Teruah/Rosh Hasahana — The Rapture
2. The Day of Atonement/Yom Kippur — Armageddon
3. The Feast of Tabernacles/Sukkot — The 1,000 Year Millennial Reign of Yahshua

HOW DO WE GROW IN SPIRITUAL MATURITY?

In Isaiah 28:9-10 it tells us how we are to grow spiritually. Just like a model relationship between a man and a woman grows over time, we grow in our knowledge and understanding of God over time as well while living our Christian life and walking in a deeper knowledge and understanding of God and His ways. This can be seen in Isaiah 28:9-10 as it is written:

“Whom shall he teach knowledge? And whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little.”

Therefore, we are instructed by God to grow in knowledge and understanding of God, His Word, and His ways, and we are to do it gradually over time, “line upon line, precept upon precept.”  — Source

A DISCIPLE  WILL LOVE ONE ANOTHER  (Disciple = Student/Pupil/Learner)

As a Christian, how would you like for God to command a blessing upon your life? Whenever Christians dwell together in unity, God will command his blessing upon those Christians who love one another and dwell together in unity. In Psalm 133 it is written:

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity … for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life forevermore. “

A DISCIPLE WILL STUDY GOD’S WORD

Jesus was a Jew. His disciples were Jewish. The teachings of Jesus were based in the foundations of Judaism as passed down faithfully from Abraham to David to Jesus. In John 4:24, Jesus said that those who worship God will worship God in spirit and in truth. In the Jewish mindset during the days of Jesus, the highest form of worship to God was study.

If you love God and seek to be a follower of Jesus, you will be His disciple (student). By being a disciple (student) of Jesus, we will seek to learn of Jesus and the knowledge of God’s Word and the ways of the Kingdom of Heaven by studying the Bible. By studying the Word of God, God will give us revelation and understanding of His Word through the help of the Holy Spirit. In John 14:26, the Holy Spirit was sent to teach us all things concerning God’s Word as it is written:

“But the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name; he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”

The Holy Spirit will lead us, guide us, and teach us all things concerning God and His Word. In John 16:13 it is written: “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth … (source info)

Just as the spring festivals (Passover, Firstfruits, and Shavuot) have been perfectly fulfilled in the first coming of Yeshua as Mashiach ben Yosef, so the fall festivals (Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot) will be fulfilled in His second coming as Mashiach ben David. Since the first advent fulfilled all of the spring holidays to the smallest of details, we believe that His second advent portends similar fulfillment as revealed in the fall holidays. Let us thank God for His great plan of salvation revealed in the festivals… Awaiting for the heavenly shofar blast with you all! — www.hebrew4christians.com

The Rapture Of The Bride, The Church

Jesus is Returning For His Bride (The Church). Christians are Betrothed – Legally Married to Yeshua/Jesus – Right Now 🙂

The Feast of Trumpets, The Ancient Jewish Wedding & The Parable of The Ten Virgins – Matthew 25:1-13, All Have One Thing In Common — They Are All A Picture Of The Rapture ! 🙂

The Feast of Trumpets – Yom Teruah (Rosh Hashana)

• Hoping This is When The Rapture will Happen — Hoping Pre-Trib — Will Possibly happen same exact day Daniel 9:27 is Confirmed. (Feast = Day no man knows the day or hour)
  • Leviticus 23:24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.

Yom Teruah/Feast of Trumpets — The Day that know man knows the day or the hour

• Yom Teruah/The Feast of Trumpets Takes Place The First Day of the Seventh Month. The First Day Begins whenever the new moon is sited — Hence no one knows the Day/Hour of The Feast 🙂 [only Feast that falls on the first day of a month it may be] — Seven is The # of Completion — The Feast (or the month) was the Final Harvest in Ancient Israel (End of Harvest of Souls For Church, This side of the Rapture) Article – small source
• The trumpet was the signal for the field workers to come into the Temple. At that instant the faithful would stop harvesting, even if there were more crops to bring in, and left immediately for worship service. The shofar sound would awaken the conscience of the people. Source 
  • Think Rapture Verse :: Matthew 24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.   Article 
  • The Feasts are Divine Appointments — Happen at a Scheduled Time

The Ancient Jewish Wedding – (source info)

• Parallels Salvation & The Rapture very closely
• The Rapture :: 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
• The day of the ceremony was a surprise to both the groom and the bride. When the bridegroom was asked the date of the wedding, he could only say something like, “No man knows except my father.”
  • In An Ancient Jewish Wedding :: According to Jewish wedding customs at the time of Jesus’ earthly ministry, the bridegroom came at a day and hour that his bride did not know. As he came, the friend of the bridegroom went before him and shouted, “Behold, the bridegroom comes.”

• • This shout would be accompanied by the blowing of a shofar—a trumpet made from a ram’s horn. As the shout was heard, the bridegroom would get his bride and take her back to his father’s house, where the ceremony and celebration would take place.
• At The Last Supper — Jesus said to his disciples :: John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
  • The Wonderful words Yeshua spoke above, would be like the last thing the Bridegroom would say to His Bride in an Ancient Jewish Wedding – before leaving and not seeing her again for some time.
  • The Bridegroom would go and build a room/honeymoon chamber onto his father’s house — Think Jesus/Yah’shua going to build the New Jerusalem 😀 and what would happen is that the Son never knew when he could go and get the Bride, because the Father (Think YHWH – Yeshua’s Father) would have to give the Ok, as to when He thought the room (think New Jerusalem :-)) was finished! 😀 — Then The Son could go get the Bride ! 😀 

Matthew 25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

• Also at the Last Supper – Yeshua took a cup of wine and gave it to his disciples saying drink – this is the cup of my blood, the cup of the new covenant. 
  • In The Betrothal/Legally Married stage of An Ancient Jewish Wedding —  The Bride and Groom would share a cup of wine that would seal the marriage covenant. Ancient Jewish Wedding Article
  • The Groom would also give gifts :: Jesus- The Holy Spirit, Eternal Life, Anything, (gifts of the Holy Spirit)

The Parable of The Ten Virgins 

• Picture of The Rapture
• Bridegroom arrives at night — Matthew 25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
  • Same Thing that happens in an Anicent Jewish Wedding

The Marriage of The Lamb

• The Ancient Jewish wedding paints a beautiful picture of the coming wedding between the Lord Yeshua and His Bride – source 

The Marriage Supper of The Lamb 

• The wedding feast was the highlight of the wedding ceremony. It was much more extensive than what Westerners are accustomed to today. It consisted of seven full days of food, music, dance, and celebration. – source
  • It could be The Marriage Supper may take place for 7 years in Heaven, while the 7 year End of The World is Taking Place on Earth. Both Sevens may be knows as a Shabua – A period of Seven. 
  • The Marriage Supper though, may take place on Earth During The Millennium. 

Rosh HaShanah: Names, Themes, and Idioms – (source info for below)

1. Teshuvah (repentance) :: 
   • 40 Days — It’s possible major birth pangs/contractions (Matthew 24) could start during this time before Daniel 9:27/The Rapture on a future Yom Teruah — maybe 2014 or 2016.
2. Rosh HaShanah (Head of the Year, Birthday of the World)
   • Rosh HaShana is the Jewish New Year 
3. Yom Teruah (the Day of the Awakening Blast [Feast of Trumpets)
   • The Day of The Sounding of the Shofar
   • Teruah is also translated as “shout.” 
   • When a king begins to reign, he is heralded with trumpets.
4. Yom HaDin (the Day of Judgment)
   • The blowing of the shofar ushers in the day of the Lord (Joel 2:1)
   • Daniel 7:9-14 :: I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit…the judgment was set, and the books were opened. [This is Rosh HaShanah, Yom HaDin, the Day of Judgment. The books are the book of the righteous, the book of the wicked, and the book of remembrance] 
   • It was seen that on this day, G-d would sit in court and all men would pass before Him to be judged. Three great books will be opened as each man is weighed in the balance and placed into one of three categories (Talmud, Rosh HaShanah 6b). It has been taught that the school of Shammai says that there will be three classes on the final Day of Judgment, one of the wholly righteous, one of the wholly wicked, and one of the intermediates. The wholly righteous are at once inscribed and sealed for life in the world to come; the wholly wicked are at once inscribed and sealed for perdition (Talmud, Rosh HaShanah 16b-17a).
   •  The righteous will be protected during the tribulation period. The wicked will face the wrath of G-d during the tribulation period (Yamim Nora’im), known in Hebrew as the Chevlai shel Mashiach, and will never repent. The average person has until Yom Kippur till his fate is sealed forever. In other words, the average person will have until the end of the seven-year tribulation to repent and turn to G-d. The average person on Rosh HaShanah is judged by G-d and is neither written in the book of life or the book of the wicked. His fate is yet to be decided. The average person and the wicked have to go through the “Awesome Days,” the tribulation, until they reach Yom Kippur (the end of the tribulation when their fate is sealed forever). Once you are written in the book of the wicked, you can never get out of it (Revelation 17:8). These are people who never, ever, will accept the Messiah Yeshua.
5. HaMelech (the Coronation of the Messiah)
   • The shofar was used for the coronation of kings
   • The fourth (final) part to the Enthronement Ceremony of a Jewish King: 
     • Each of the subjects come to visit the King after he has taken the throne. In this, they will acknowledge their allegiance to him and receive their commissioning from him as to what their job will be in the kingdom (Isaiah [Yeshayahu] 66:22-23; Zechariah 14:16-17; Matthew [Mattityahu] 2:2)
6. Yom HaZikkaron (the Day of Remembrance or memorial)
   • In Daniel 7:9-10 it is written: 9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. 10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. 
   • Since the court was seated and the books were opened, it is understood to be Rosh HaShanah. The books are the book of the righteous, the book of the wicked, and the book of remembrance. The third book that will be opened is the book of remembrance (zikkaron). This is why the common greeting during Rosh HaShanah is, “May you be inscribed in the Book of Life.”
7. The time of Jacob’s (Ya’akov) trouble (the birthpangs of the Messiah, Chevlai shel Mashiach)
   • This period of time will be Israel’s most trying time ever. This period of time is known as the tribulation.
   • Israel will face genuine crisis during the time of Jacob’s (Ya’akov’s) trouble. The prophet Zechariah prophesied that two of every three inhabitants of Israel will perish during this time… (Zechariah 13:8-9)
8. The opening of the gates
   • The gates of Heaven are opened on Rosh HaShanah so the righteous nation may enter (Isaiah [Yeshayahu] 26:2; Psalm [Tehillim] 118:19-20). Because the gates of Heaven are understood to be open on Rosh HaShanah, this is further evidence that the rapture (natzal) of the believers in the Messiah Yeshua will take place on Rosh HaShanah
   • Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
9. The Wedding of The Messiah :: Kiddushin/Nesu’in (the wedding ceremony)
   • Whenever anyone hears the message of the basar (gospel), it is a wedding proposal by G-d to accept Him and be a part of His bride. G-d desires that we accept His invitation and give Him our response of “I do.”
10. The resurrection of the dead (rapture, natzal)
    • The thirteenth principle of the Jewish faith is belief in the resurrection of the dead. The resurrection of the dead will take place on Rosh HaShanah (Talmud, Rosh HaShanah l6b). 
    • 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:…
11. The last trump (shofar)
    • In the first century, the last trump (shofar) meant a specific day in the year. In Judaism, there are three trumpets (shofarim) that have a name. They are the first trump, the last trump, and the great trump. Each one of these trumpets indicates a specific day in the Jewish year. The first trump is blown on the Feast of Shavuot (Pentecost) (Exodus [Shemot] 19:19). It proclaimed that G-d had betrothed Himself to Israel. The last trump is synonymous with Rosh HaShanah, according to Theodore Gaster in his book, Festivals of the Jewish Year, in his chapter on Rosh HaShanah. Herman Kieval also states the same thing in his book, The High Holy Days (Volume I, Rosh HaShanah, Chapter 5, Footnote 11), in the chapter on the shofar. The great trumpet is blown on Yom Kippur, which will herald the return of the Messiah Yeshua back to earth (Matthew [Mattityahu] 24:31).
      

      Update 11/6/15 — The 100th/Last Trump at The Feast of Trumpets, may really be or is The Last Trump in 1 Cor. 15:52 ><> Pre-Trib Rapture the Call, God willing ><>

       

    • The term rapture comes from the Greek word harpazo, which means “to seize, catch away, catch up, pluck, pull, take by force” (1Thessalonians 4:17). The Hebrew equivalent is the word natzal. Isaiah (Yeshayahu) 26:2-3, 19-20 and 57:1-2 all speak clearly of the resurrection of the dead. Daniel 12:1-2 also speaks of the resurrection of the dead, the tribulation, and the salvation of Israel through the tribulation. Zephaniah 1:14-18 and 2:2-3 tells about the terrible times during the day of the L-rd, the birthpangs of the Messiah, and issues a decree to repent and turn to G-d before that day to be hid from that time. Psalm (Tehillim) 27:5 says the righteous will be hid in the time of trouble. This psalm is read every day during the 40-day period of Teshuvah. Second Thessalonians 2:1 says, “Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him.” The phrase, “gathering together” comes from the Greek word episunagoge, which means “an assembly.” In Numbers (Bamidbar) 10:2-3, the trumpet is blown to assemble the people. The blowing of the trumpet and the assembling of the people also appear together in First Thessalonians 4:16-17 and First Corinthians 15:51-53.
      • On Rosh Hashanah, a series of one hundred trumpet blasts is sounded to announce the setting up of the eternal court, heralding God as the all-seeing, all-knowing Judge of the Universe. The 100 shofar blasts signifies that the heaven gates are open wide with the King seated upon the Throne. His scepter of grace and mercy are extended in a special way at this time and all throughout the next 10 days.
      • Jewish tradition says that this court date is to find out who are righteous and have their names in the Book of Life through the Messiah. All other people are a mixture of good and bad, and God in His mercy will delay their court date for a period of time to allow them to try and prepare a proper defense. The second court date is on Yom Kippur.
      • After 99 blasts of the shofar, the final 100th blast is the loudest and the longest. It is called Tekiah Gedolah. I believe this trumpet-sound is the one signified in 1Thessalonians 4:16 – “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the (Tekiah Gedolah) trumpet of God: and the dead in Christ will rise first”…… (Source – this paragraph & 2 just above)
        • The Tekiah Gedolah may be or is The Last Trump Below:
        • 1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
          • In Relation To The Last Trumpet From The Seventh Angel in The Book of Revelation – that may happen near/at Armageddon:
          • Revelation 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
          • Ark of The Testament in God’s Temple seen = Yom Kippur Event, Yom Kippur = Armageddon
12. Yom Hakeseh (the hidden day)
    • Isaiah 26:20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. (Christians in The New Jerusalem?) 
    •

      In Psalm (Tehillim) 27:5 it is written, “For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; in the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me; He shall set me up upon a rock.”

    • Yet another name for Rosh HaShanah is Yom HaKeseh, “The Day of the Hiding” or”the Hidden Day.” The term keseh or keceh is derived from the Hebrew root kacah, which means to “conceal, cover, or hide.” Every day during the month of Elul, a trumpet is blown to warn the people to turn back to G-d, except for the thirtieth day of Elul, the day preceding Rosh HaShanah. On that day the trumpet is not blown, and is therefore silent. This is because much about Rosh HaShanah is concealed and shrouded in mystery. The mystical aspect of Rosh HaShanah is indicated in Scripture: “Sound the shofar on the New Moon, in concealment of the day of our festival” (Psalm [Tehillim] 81:3). Satan, the accuser, is not to be given notice about the arrival of Rosh HaShanah, the Day of Judgment.
    • Rosh HaShanah is called Yom HaKeseh, or the Day of the Hiding, because it was hidden from satan (Ha satan), the adversary. The Bible says that satan comes to rob and to steal (John [Yochanan] 10:10, and to confuse (1 Corinthians 14:33). Because it is the Day of Judgment, it is symbolically hidden from satan (satan did not know and understand the plan of the cross [tree], First Corinthians 2:7-8). This was hidden from him as well. Believers never said when the day of Rosh HaShanah was; they simply said, “Of that day and hour no one knows, only the Father.”
    • One of the reasons most often given to disclaim that the resurrection of the dead and the catching away of the believers is on Rosh HaShanah is the statement given by Yeshua in Matthew (Mattityahu) 24:36, as it is written, “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but My Father only.” Because Rosh HaShanah was understood to be the hidden day, this statement by Yeshua is actually an idiom for Rosh Hashanah. Thus it should be given as proof that He was speaking of Rosh HaShanah because Rosh HaShanah is the only day in the whole year that was referred to as the hidden day or the day that no man knew.

The False Prophet who makes everyone take the Mark, could be a Muslim. (Think of the name: False Prophet — who is a False Prophet? Mohammed) The Book of Revelation says he will have 2 horns like a lamb {possible Christian} – but spoke like a dragon). If the False Prophet is a Muslim, it could be why this is said in The Book of Revelation :: 

Revelation 20:4 ….and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, (The Anti-Christ) neither his image, (maybe a clone, picture, statue, hologram) neither had received his mark (maybe an RFID chip, digital tatoo) upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

The Gov’t though too could be doing the be-heading with guillotines with or without Islam.

The Beginning Birth Pangs seem to be at Serious Levels with Earthquakes and Pestilences — bird/fish deaths

The Next Thing to happen in Matthew 24 is to be handed over and Killed and to be hated of all Nations for Jesus.

Revelation 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 

Revelation 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast (The Anti-Christ) and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Rapture of The Bride Analysis:

Daniel’s 70th Week of 7 Years may be or will be bracketed out From Trumpets (Pre-Trib Rapture God willing) To Yom Kippur/The Day of Atonement (Last Day of The Age — Armageddon). Source  – endtimepilgrim.org

• 2019 — Works out with right amount of time to Bracket out Daniel’s 70th Week from Trumpets (Daniel 9:27/Pre-Trib Rapture God willing) to Atonement (The Second Coming)
• 2022 — May be an Important year — Next best Watch Year.
• 2028 – 2030 — Possible Bullseye ><>

Summary: Being ready as possible, (staying faithful/Virtuous Activity) and Being on the Watch For The Rapture each Feast of Trumpets is the call — but certain years may be more important, such as: 2017, 2019 & 2022. 

><> ><> ><>

There is something interesting known as: The Ten Days of Awe — Ten Days Comprising The Feasts of Trumpets &  Day of Atonement. In Relation to the Feast of Trumpets (Rapture) and Yom Kippur, (Last Day of Age/Armageddon) there are 7 Days between the two Feasts — The Seven Days could be the same as Daniel’s 70th Week. (‘7 Year Trib.’)

><> ><> ><>

The Main Issue In Relation To When The End of The World Begins, Is: Israel.

Israel is The ‘Boots on The Ground’ Situation that Begins The End.

When A 7 Year Peace Covenant is Confirmed With Israel, The Seven Year End Begins.

The Bible Says: That When They Shall Say Peace And Safety There Will Be Sudden Destruction, but Christians are not in Darkness to This Reality and To The Reality Of The Day of The Lord.

1 Thessalonians 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

If The Peace and Safety Above Is Daniel 9:27 —

Then We Could Be Very, Very Near To The Rapture

It May Really Be This: YHWH’s Feasts Are A Fulfillment/Plan of Fulfillment (Shadow) Of His Redemptive Plan For The World.

Hoping This is How Things will Be:

1. Rapture/Pre-Trib — Feast of Trumpets — (Daniel 9:27 — Seven Year End of The World Peace Deal Could Also Happen The Same Day. Yom Teruah/Feast of Trumpets = Day no man knows the Day or Hour.
2. Last Day of This Age — Day of Atonement/Yom Kippur — close to (maybe 30-45 days away) or at Armageddon.
3. Feast of Tabernacles = 1,000 Year Millennial Reign

Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body (Reality) is of Christ.

Leviticus 23:37 These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day: 

Holy Convocations = Dress Rehearsals of The Real Thing. 

Daniel 9:27 & The Rapture could happen the same Day at a Future Feast of Trumpets.

The Word Harpazo — Greek For Rapture, Means to seize by force from sudden danger or harm, like just in time — The Bible Says when they shall say Peace and Safety (above) — highly Possible Daniel 9:27, then There will Be Sudden Destruction.

Revelation 19:9 – And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
