Ascension Day of Jesus is June 10

T.W. Tramm ASCENSION DAY, the anniversary of Jesus’ ascent into heaven, is June 10 this year. Interestingly, Ascension Day lands on the biblical date Iyyar 28 in 2021, the anniversary of the 1967 recapture of East Jerusalem by Israeli forces. So Ascension Day is also Jerusalem Day in 2021! A theme of Jerusalem Day, based on Psalm 122, is the building up of the Holy City: “Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together” (Ps. 122:3). In Scripture, built-up Jerusalem is a sign that the Lord is about to appear: “When the LORD shall build up Zion [Jerusalem], he shall appear in his glory” (Ps. 102:16). Adjoining verses in Psalm 122, which was originally entitled “A Song of Ascents” by its author, King David, depict the people going up to Jerusalem to appear before the Lord at the harvest festivals, Unleavened Bread, Pentecost, and Tabernacles: “Let us go to the house of the LORD …That is where the tribes go up—the tribes of the LORD—to praise the name of the LORD according to the statute given to Israel. There stand the thrones for judgment” (Ps. 122:1, 4, 5). A gathering before the Lord at harvest time is a picture of the rapture–resurrection (Rev. 7:9–14; 14:15; 2 Thess. 2:1). Furthermore, at the harvest gatherings everyone was required to bring an offering proportionate to the blessings God had bestowed on them, a picture of the bema judgment at the end of the age (2 Cor. 5:10; Matt. 25:14–30; Luke 12:48). A SIGN In addition to Ascension Day coinciding with Jerusalem Day in 2021, it also coincides with an awesome sign in the heavens. On June 10, Ascension Day and Jerusalem Day, an annular solar eclipse, a phenomenon in which the outer edge of the Sun remains visible as a bright ring around the Moon, will cut a path across the northernmost point of the globe, making it the only eclipse of its type this century. Due to the path of the eclipse, the “ring” effect will occur mainly above unpopulated regions, including the North Pole, an area not owned by any nation. Because the ring appears mostly at the top of the globe, the point where the longitudinal lines connecting every landmass on earth converge, it could be interpreted as a sign for the whole world. What could be the message of the sign? Ascension Day reminds us that Jesus ascended into the clouds, and that those who belong to Him, the Bride of Christ, will one day meet Him there (1 Thess. 4:16, 17). Jerusalem Day is about the building or restoration of Israel, which in itself is a sign of the Lord’s appearing (Ps. 102:16; Dan. 9:25). A ring is the universal symbol of betrothal and God’s faithfulness. It reminds us of the Lord’s wedding covenant with Israel and the Church, both of which were sealed on Pentecost. Pentecost, which coincides with the first day of summer in 2021, is associated with the wheat harvest, the Church, and weddings (Ex. 34:22; Matt. 13; 24:32-34; Acts 2; Ruth). Thus, a spectacular ring of light at the top of the globe on Ascension Day, which is also Jerusalem Day, ten days before Pentecost and the beginning of summer, is a sign of profound eschatological significance, pointing to the gathering of the Church–Bride at Jesus’ return. It gets more interesting. Exactly one year before Pentecost and the first day of summer in 2021, another rare ring-eclipse occurred. On June 20, 2020, an annular eclipse occurred above Sub-Saharan Africa, India, China, and the Philippines, areas with the largest Christian populations in the Eastern Hemisphere. This means that on the first day of summer in 2020, exactly one year before Pentecost 2021, a dazzling ring of gold, the universal symbol of betrothal and God’s faithfulness, adorned the sky above the Eastern Christian world. The symbolism is again extraordinary as Pentecost is the Church’s betrothal day and, per Jewish tradition, the bridegroom comes to gather the bride on the one-year anniversary of the betrothing. The amazing Ascension-Day concurrence in 2021 reminds us that Jesus will one day return in the clouds: “This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go” (Acts 1:11). If we are interpreting the signs correctly, it may be sooner rather than later. . . . NOTES: 1. Jesus was resurrected on the Day of Firstfruits and remained on earth 40 days before ascending into heaven, 10 days before Pentecost (Lev. 23:15, 16; John 20:17; 1 Cor. 15:20; Acts 1:3). 2. Ascension Day 2021 calculation: The first new moon after the spring equinox, Nisan 1, was sighted April 13. Passover began two weeks later on the evening of April 26. Since the firstfruits offering is to be made the “day after the Sabbath” following Passover, the Day of firstfruits is the following Sunday, May 2. Counting 40 days from Sunday, May 2, we arrive at June 10 for Ascension Day. Ten days later, June 20, is Pentecost.

Jerusalem Day: https://www.myjewishlearning.com/.../yom-yerushalayim.../ 4. Psalm 122 is one of four “Songs of Ascent” written by King David to be sung at the time of the goings up to the harvest festivals at Jerusalem. It is the third in the series, and was apparently intended to be sung when the people entered the gates, and their feet stood within the Holy City: https://enduringword.com/bible-commentary/psalm-122/ 5. The three harvest festivals correspond to the “order” of resurrections mentioned by Paul (1 Cor. 15:23; Deut. 16:16). The first harvest festival, Unleavened Bread, was fulfilled by Jesus’ resurrection (1 Cor. 15:20). The third harvest festival, Tabernacles, will presumably be fulfilled by a resurrection at the Second Coming (Rev. 20:4–6). This leaves the middle harvest festival, Pentecost, to possibly be fulfilled by the Church’s resurrection–rapture. 6. June 10 annular eclipse: https://earthsky.org/?p=358463 7. Both ring eclipses—June 20, 2020, and June 10, 2021—occur while the Sun is in Taurus, the constellation sign depicting Jesus’ return to judge the world. The Bull symbolizes Christ, the coming Judge and Ruler, rushing forward in wrath, His horns set to pierce through and destroy His enemies. Significantly, the Sun, which is likened to a “bridegroom” in Psalm 19, is in Taurus from May 14 (Israel’s birthday) until the first day of summer (June 20) every year. (Dates are exact per Starry Night astronomy software.) 8.

The Jewish wedding tradition consists of two stages. The first stage is the betrothal, or erusin, at which time the bride and groom are considered legally married but do not dwell together. The second stage is the consummation, or nisu’in, when the groom comes to take the bride to his house and nuptials are finalized. According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, the betrothal period is traditionally 12 months: http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/3229-betrothal . . . *For more on why 2021 could be a pivotal year in Bible prophecy, see T.W.

June 10 to 12 Rapture Watch

June 10 to 12 Rapture Watch Excerpt from Helena Lehman article: THE STAR GOSPEL MEANINGS OF THE MAY LUNAR ECLIPSE AND JUNE SOLAR ECLIPSE OF 2021 IN RELATION TO THE TIMING OF THE RAPTURE If the Rapture is slated to occur before the end of Spring and the beginning of Summer, it will have to occur before the time of the Summer Solstice on June 20th, 2021, which is the official start of the Summer season. But the upcoming Lunar Eclipse or Blood Moon on Wednesday, May 26th, 2021 and the Total Solar Eclipse or Sackcloth Sun of June 10th, 2021 both occur before then, and the Rapture could be shortly before, during or after these Eclipses if they are the ones that the Prophet Joel foresaw in Joel Chapter 2: Prophecy From The Book Of Joel Ch. 2, Vss. 30-32: “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. 32 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.” This powerful passage in the Book of Joel is often cited in connection with the Signs in the Heavens because it mentions a darkened Sun or Solar Eclipse and a blood-colored Moon or Lunar Eclipse as appearing just before the arrival of the Great Tribulation - which is also known as the Day of the Lord. There's many interesting facts about these Eclipse that makes them stand out. For example, during the upcoming Lunar Eclipse, the Moon is going to be a Supermoon, meaning that it is a bit closer to the Earth than normal, and this will make it appear larger and brighter.  This Super Blood Moon will occur just 3 days after the Christian date for Pentecost on Sunday, May 23rd, 2021, and only two weeks before the Annular or "Ring of Fire" Solar Eclipse in Taurus on June 10th, 2021. Because the Moon can represent the Bride of Christ and her Virgin attendants just as Uranus can, and the Moon is going to be blood red while sitting directly within the clutches of the satanic Scorpion on May 26th, 2021, it is an evil omen suggesting an impending slaughter of those Foolish Virgins who are to be left behind from within the Church because they are not ready to go to Heaven. I therefore believe this Sign is meant to be directed at the lukewarm believers in the Church of Laodicea that will be left behind after the Rapture. It also may be a portent of an major attack on Israel in the Middle East that could take many lives, as could the affects of the vaccines being heavily pushed on the Israeli people.  Meanwhile, in the June 10th, 2021 Annular Solar Eclipse Graphic that I created and posted further down in this article, Uranus signifying the Bride and the Wise Virgins are being sheltered under Aries the Ram, a symbol for Yahshua as our Passover Lamb. This could indicate that the Wise Virgins may no longer be located on the Earth by this time. With that said, please understand that I am interpreting what I see, as the Holy Spirit moves me, and I am not trying to predict when the Rapture will occur. All I'm saying here is that this is a powerful sign that appears to be indicating that the Bride and Wise Virgins will be going up to Heaven sometime soon, and very likely before the Summer begins on June 20th, 2021, which is the Summer Solstice - also known as the longest day of the year. Nibiru Nibiru system with Revelation 6:12-17 axial pole shift: a shift or flip of the geographical poles (Isa 24:1, 18-20, 23; 38:8). The gravitational pull of the strange star’s mass will cause the earth to slow down and maybe bring it to a complete halt (Josh 10:11-13--Joshua's Longest Day). The tilting earth will create a “slosh” of all the ocean water that is now bulged up around the equator due to the centrifugal forces of earth’s spinning motion. As a result of these shifting and moving water masses there will be: Nibiru. 1) tsunamis and violently rising ocean levels up to 400 feet (120 meter); Hab 3:10--Overflowing water passed by. Amos 9:6; Amos 5:6-8; Nah 1:8 (flood) 2) flooding of all coastal areas and an eventual recessing of these oceanic waters into the earth’s crust. 3) shifting, lifting and sinking landmasses. 4) landmasses sinking into and rising out of the ocean. 5) tidal, crustal and rogue waves. 6) 200+ mph (320+ kph) winds as the jet stream is coming down to ground level affecting the entire globe. Wind: Gen 8:1; 41:6,23; Exodus 10:13, 19; Job 1:19; Psalm 148:8; Isa 41:16; Jer 4:11-12; 51:1,16; Ezk 13:11, 13; Ezk 19:12; Dan 2:35; Hos 13:15; Rev 6:13. 7) more tornadoes and regular hurricanes. Whirlwind Job 37:9; Isa 66:15; Jer 23:19; Jer 30:23 　 hurricanes over land. 9) shifting of the climatic regions and seasons. 10) change of the length of days and of the calendar (Matt 24:21-22; Mk 13:20). A disruption in the Earth’s rotation in either speed (normally 1,000 miles per hour) or direction (a pole shift). These are the effects of Nibiru system. T.W. Tramm Post   WITH ISRAEL’S BIRTHDAY and other key dates approaching, it’s interesting to consider what is happening in the heavens around this time. We look to the heavens around significant dates because God said He would use the sun, moon, and stars as “signs to mark sacred times”: “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens ... and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times’” (Gen. 1:14). The stars in the firmament comprise the constellations, or mazzaroth (Job 38:32). While the mazzaroth have been co-opted by pagan astrologers who identify them with mythological figures, they were originally designed by God to illustrate His plan of redemption for humanity. As the Sun, Moon and planets traverse the heavens during the course of days, weeks, and months, they highlight, or “declare,” various portions of the plan: “The heavens declare the glory of God … Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge” (Ps. 19:1-2). A biblical example of the stars revealing knowledge is the Sign of the Woman in Revelation 12, an astronomical alignment involving the constellation Virgo, the Sun, and the Moon, which prefigures major events on earth: “A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman [Virgo] clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head” (Rev. 12:1). With that brief introduction to signs in the heavens, let’s take a look at what the stars are saying in spring–summer 2021. The heavenly bodies in view are . . . • The Planet Jupiter: a symbol of the Messiah–King • The Sun: a symbol of the Lord–Bridegroom • The Moon: a symbol of the Church JUPITER From April 25 to August 18, Jupiter will be in Aquarius, the constellation depicting a man pouring forth water from a large urn into the mouth of a fish. The water being poured into the mouth of a fish is a picture of the Holy Spirit being poured out: “For I will pour out water to quench your thirst and to irrigate your parched fields. And I will pour out my Spirit on your descendants” (Isa. 44:3). That Jupiter enters Aquarius on April 25 is interesting because the following day, April 26, begins Passover and Israel’s festival season. That Jupiter departs Aquarius on August 18 is significant as this date corresponds to the “9th of Av,” a biblical date synonymous with judgment and calamity as both Temples in Jerusalem were destroyed on this day. So from the start of the festival season until “judgment day,” the 9th of Av, Jupiter, a symbol of the Messiah–King, will be in the sign depicting an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. SUN On May 14, Israel’s birthday, the Sun will enter Taurus, the sign of the Bull. Taurus belongs to the final chapter of the heavenly redemption narrative and depicts Jesus’ return to judge the world in righteousness. The Bull symbolizes Christ, the coming Judge and Ruler, rushing forward in wrath, His horns set to pierce through and destroy His enemies. Significantly, the Sun will remain in Taurus until June 20, the first day of summer, which also happens to mark Pentecost in 2021. So from Israel’s birthday (May 14) until the first day of summer and Pentecost, the Sun will be in Taurus, the sign depicting the coming Judge and Ruler. MOON On June 20, the first day of summer and Pentecost, the Moon will pass through the lower belly of the constellation Virgo. While the Moon passing through the belly of Virgo is not a particularly rare occurrence, the astronomical “birth” of the heavenly body symbolizing the Church on the first day of summer and Pentecost is interesting because . . . • The Rapture is likened to a “birth” (Isa. 26:19). • “Summer” is a metaphor for the end of the age (Matt. 24:32). • Pentecost, the festival celebrating the wheat harvest, is associated with the Church and points to the “harvest” of believers at the end of the age (Matt. 13:39). In summary, spring–summer 2021 will see three noteworthy astronomical occurrences: 1) From Passover to the 9th of Av, Jupiter will be in Aquarius, the sign depicting an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. 2) From May 14 to June 20, the Sun will be in Taurus, the sign of Jesus’ coming to judge the world. 3) On June 20, the Moon will be “birthed” from the belly of Virgo. If our reading of the signs is correct, they speak collectively of an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the Rapture of the Church, and the Lord coming quickly to judge the world. Additionally, the sign of the Sun in Taurus establishes a link between the dates May 14 and June 20 (Israel’s birthday and first day of summer), both of which are relevant to the Fig-Tree Parable: “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near” (Matt. 24:32). In view of the emphasis on the date June 20, it’s interesting to consider other concurrences related to this date: BEGINNING OF THE CHURCH AGE A compelling case can be made that Jesus was crucified on April 28, 28 AD. If this is true, the Church’s first Pentecost—the one that began the Church Age—occurred on June 20. MODERN ISRAEL’S FIRST PENTECOST Correctly calculated, Israel’s first Pentecost following the return to the Promised Land in 1948 occurred on June 20 (see notes for calculation). 2,520 CONCURRENCE When we add 2,520 days to June 20, 2021, we arrive at May 14, Israel’s 80th birthday in 2028. The number 2,520 is significant as it represents a perfect period of seven (360-day) years in Scripture. Israel’s 80th birthday is significant because the Fig-Tree Parable says the generation who sees Israel reborn will see all the end-times prophecies fulfilled (Matt. 24:32–34). Scripture defines the upper limit of a human lifespan as 80 years (Ps. 90:10). 2020 ECLIPSE SIGN On June 20, 2020, a rare solar eclipse occurred above Sub-Saharan Africa, India, China, and the Philippines. The eclipse was notable because . . . • It happened on the first day of summer. • It was visible above areas with the largest Christian populations in the Eastern Hemisphere. • It was an annular eclipse, during which the edge of the Sun remains visible as a bright ring around the Moon. This means that on the first day of summer in 2020, exactly one year before Pentecost 2021, a dazzling “ring of gold,” the universal symbol of betrothal and God’s faithfulness, adorned the sky above the Eastern Christian world. The symbolism is profound as Pentecost is the Church’s betrothal day and, according to the Jewish wedding tradition, the bridegroom comes to retrieve the bride on the one-year anniversary of the betrothing. Having highlighted this remarkable concurrence, I should make clear I am not forecasting a date for the Rapture. Jesus says no one knows the day, not even the angels (Matt. 24:36). While a heavenly sign may reveal the date of a future event, it may also be merely a marker, or milepost, that reveals we are nearing a destination but not necessarily the time of arrival. From our present vantage point, there is no way to know which type of sign we are looking at, a marker or a destination point. For this reason, it is wise to be ready always, because we may arrive sooner or later than we think! . . . NOTES: 1. That God designed the star-pictures, or constellations, is established in Job 9:9: “He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, of the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.” 2. Jupiter as Messiah–King: Jupiter is named after the king of the Roman gods and is the largest planet in the solar system, earning it the title “King Planet.” The pronounced stripes and red spot on Jupiter’s side point to Messiah who was whipped and pierced (John 19:1, 34). 3. The Sun as Lord–Bridegroom: “The LORD God is a sun” (Ps. 84:11). “In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun. It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber” (Ps. 19:4, 5). 4. The Moon as the Church: In Song of Solomon the Gentile–Shulammite maid, representing the Church, is compared to the Moon: “Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon .... Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee” (Song 6:10, 13). The spiritual parallel between the Church and the Moon is that the lunar orb creates no light on its own but relies entirely upon the Sun, a picture of Christ, for its light (Ps. 19:4, 5; 84:11). Just as the Moon has no light without the Sun, man has no light of his own without God. We were created in the image of God to reflect His brilliance and glory (Gen. 1:27). When we turn to face the majesty of God, when we surrender to Him and seek Him with all our hearts, we reflect His glory, just as the Moon reflects the glory of the Sun (Matt. 5:14). 5. All alignment dates determined by Starry Night astronomy software 6. Fish symbolize men in Scripture (Matt. 4:19). 7. Most Jewish calendars erroneously reckon Passover March 26 in 2021. This is because they begin the month of Nisan on March 14, during the winter, thus ignoring the biblical command to observe the month of “Aviv,” or ripening grain, in its proper season (Deut. 16:1). When we correctly reckon Nisan 1 the first new moon after the spring equinox, the first day of the biblical year is April 12–13 and the festival dates are as follows: Passover: April 27 Unleavened Bread: April 28 Firstfruits: May 2 Pentecost: June 20 Feast of Trumpets: October 7 Day of Atonement: October 16 Feast of Tabernacles: October 21 For more explanation, see the chapter entitled “Calendar Confusion” in my book Summer Is Near: https://storage.googleapis.com/.../Calendar%20Confusion... 8. Not only does August 18 correspond to the 9th of Av in 2021, it marks the anniversary of when the Jerusalem Planning Committee approved the master plan to rebuild the Old City of Jerusalem in 1970. As detailed in Summer Is Near, I believe the date August 18–19 is relevant to Daniel’s 70-weeks prophecy: “From the going forth of the command to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince, shall be seven weeks [or seven sabbatical cycles]…” (Dan. 9:25). 9. The 70-AD destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple occurred on the 9th of Av, the same date on which the First Temple was destroyed six centuries earlier. For this reason, the 9th of Av is a traditional day of fasting and mourning on which Jews lament both destructions of Jerusalem. 10. A major outpouring of the Holy Spirit occurred on the Church’s first Pentecost, marking the beginning of the Church Age (Acts 2). A second major outpouring is yet to occur when the 144,000 of Israel are “sealed” as the Day of the Lord begins (Rev. 7). 11. Pentecost 2021 calculation: The first new moon after the spring equinox, Nisan 1, was sighted April 13. Passover begins two weeks later on the evening of April 26. Since the firstfruits offering is to be made the “day after the Sabbath” following Passover, the day of firstfruits is the following Sunday, May 2. Counting seven weeks from Sunday, May 2, we arrive at June 20 for Pentecost. 12. The Sun enters Taurus on May 14 and exits on June 20 every year, underscoring the significance of this timeframe related to Jesus’ return. (The Sun spends about a month in each major constellation sign before it transits to the next, thus taking a year to travel through the entire “zodiac” circle.) 13. When the Sun departs Taurus on June 21 it enters Gemini. According to E.W. Bullinger, the twin figures of Gemini denote the dual nature of Messiah: suffering servant and conquering king. One figure in the constellation holds a palm branch (some images depict it as a club), while the other holds a bow and arrow. The dual nature of God (the Lamb who is slain and the triumphant Lion of the Tribe of Judah) is in view in Revelation 5 where Jesus is preparing to open the seals of judgment: “Then one of the elders said to me, ‘Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.’ Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders” (Rev. 5:5, 6). 14. Pentecost marks the beginning of new dispensations in Scripture, i.e. the Age of Law and the Church Age (Ex. 19; Acts 2). If the pattern holds, Pentecost could mark the beginning of the next dispensation, the Day of the Lord. 15. Pentecost 1948 calculation: The first new moon after the spring equinox, Nisan 1, in 1948 was April 10. Passover thus began the evening of April 24, which was a Saturday and also the Sabbath. Since the firstfruits offering is to be made the “day after the Sabbath” following Passover, the day of firstfruits is the following Sunday, May 2. Counting seven weeks from May 2, we arrive at June 20 for Pentecost. 16. The “prophetic” 360-day year is referenced in Daniel and Revelation where “time, times and half a time,” referring to half of a 7-year period, or 42 months, is equivalent to 1,260 days (Dan. 7:25; 9:27; 12:7; Rev. 11:2, 3; 12:6, 14; 13:5).
