September Day of Trumpet Rapture Watch

September Day of Trumpet September 7 or 8, 2021 Ray Lee Goines Trumpet Feast Rapture Watch LE 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, a holy convocation. --- LE 23:25 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. Trumpet Feast is the English phrase for the Jewish Rosh Hashanah which means “a Blowing of Trumpets.” The information I will give in this message came from Jewish sources such as Jewish eschatology and Jewish Rabbis. Yes some came from Christian Jews and I will list the sources at the end of the message. As I present this message I will point out the similarities of the Trumpet Feast and Rapture. Before I do let us look at the Feast itself which lasts two days. There are 100 trumpets sounds blown on the days of Rosh Hashanah. The sounds are divided into four different trumpet sounds. Tekiah - a single, long blast. This is a plain, smooth, continuous note symbolizing joy and contentment. Shevarim - consisting of three short blasts or broken notes. The word literally translates to mean “broken.” The sound symbolizes the first glance within the self, an awakening, the heartbroken feeling that comes with unflinching self-evaluation. Truah - characterized by extremely short blasts comprised of nine staccato notes. This quick succession of short trills expresses trepidation and sorrow supposedly it causes repentance. Tekiah Gedolah - one long blast and this one is called “the great tekiah,” “the great blast,” or “the last trump.” This sound is blown at the end of each day and consists of ten blasts giving a total of 100 blowing of the trumpets. The first three sounds are blown in succession. By this I mean the first one is blown, than the second one and than the third one and this continues throughout the day until each sound has been blown thirty times giving us a total of ninety sounds. The last sound is blown ten times which gives us a hundred trumpet sounds for the day. The Last Trumpet in the Trumpet Feast is the same one Paul was talking about in 1 Corinthians 15:52. Some claimed Paul's Last Trumpet was the seventh Trumpet in Revelation but Revelation wasn't written for another 40 years. Paul didn't need to explain what the Last Trumpet was because the people of his age knew well what Paul meant. If Paul meant a seventh Trumpet than he will need to explain it to the people because no one knew anything about a seventh trumpet. To understand this better we need to look at the Jewish beliefs at that time. The Feast of Trumpets is the only feast they didn't know when the feast will start. All the other feast has a fixed day, but the Feast of Trumpets always started on first day of Tishri. Each Jewish month begins with the sighting of the sliver-thin new crescent moon. In Jesus times and before his time, the priest sent out people to look for the sliver-thin new crescent moon. As soon as two people came back to the priest with the news of the new crescent moon being sighted, the feast began. Fires was lighted to spread the word the sliver crescent has been sight. No one knew the day or the hour when this Feast will start as the Church will not know the day or the hour Christ will return for his Bride. The ten virgins in Matthew 25 is an example of Christ coming for his bride and those that were not watching and ready was left behind. The Jews had people watching and waiting to see when the Feast will begin as we should be waiting and watching. This feast also was called by the Jews "only the Father knows".(Matthew 24:36). The above sounds Familiar doesn’t it. Jewish rabbis in Jewish eschatology teaches "The Feast of Trumpets" is prophetically the resurrection of the dead saints. They believe the saints are resurrected and enter into a wedding chamber. At this time there is a time of trouble upon Israel for 7 years. They call this "the Birth Pangs of the Messiah". Yep; you read that right. Birth Pangs of the Messiah.(Jeremiah 30:6-7; Matthew 24:8; John 16:21-22). They also believed at the time of the last trumpet, the doors of heaven opens. (Revelation 4:1) Then the judgment book is open and those saints that was resurrected will stand before the Judgment Seat of God. The righteousness Jews still living will be put someplace on earth for safe keeping during Jacob’s trouble (Psalm 27:5; Isaiah 26:20) and those unrighteous Jews will face the wrath of God for seven years at which time on the 10th of Tishri or the day of the Atonement Feast their Messiah will come. This I will give more detail in the Atonement Feast Message. This showed the Jews believe the time of Jacob's trouble is to be for 7 years as some Christians believes there will be seven years but the last three and one-half years will be called the Great Tribulation. The righteous Jews standing before the Judgment seat of God is similar to the Church standing before the Judgment Seat of Christ. I am pointing out the similarities between their beliefs and the Church beliefs. As I stated before the Trumpet Feast lasted two days which will be the first and second day of Tishrei. The Resurrection and Rapture will take place on the first day and not the second day. Also the Passover Feast was held two days with the first day being Nisan 13 and the second day Nisan 14.

When a large planetary body suddenly changes its rotation, or undergoes a polar shift, the rapid forward movement of the surface of the earth leaves the atmosphere (the first heaven) behind and as it pushes forward into the oncoming atmosphere. It rolls the atmosphere into a huge "roll cloud" leaving a vacuum in between.  The subthermal outer atmosphere quickly (wind speeds of hundreds or thousands of miles per hour) fill in the huge vacuum with temperatures approaching absolute zero, in an instant quick freeze. Such a mechanism is suggested also just prior to the Noachian flood with the remnants of the frozen mammoths in Siberia and also a sudden change in latitude as a new north pole found a new home on this Planet Earth.  The dark sun is several times (5 to 8 times) larger than Earth and about a hundred times denser is heading our way on a trajectory that will soon take it close enough to cause global catastrophes which include: 1) increasing extreme behavior of the sun. 2) increased warming of the earth core and surface. 2016, 2017 www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-34226178.

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: 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.

A disruption in the Earth’s rotation in either speed (normally 1,000 miles per hour) or direction (a pole shift).      The records, both in geology and historical, reflect that multiple events will be occurring simultaneously i.e. melting ice in the Antarctic & Greenland, earthquakes, tsunamis (tidal waves), flooding, torrential rains, abrupt (tropical to arctic minutes!) climate change, 200 mph (320 kph) winds, volcanism, the Gulf Stream stopping and dare I say: a pole shift!"

Summer is near

Summer is Near John Traczyk is with My Name's Johnny.   Why is 7, 70, 73, and 80 years so important? On May 14, 1948 Israel became a nation again. They just celebrated their 73rd Birthday on May 14, 2021. Jesus told us to watch the fig tree, Israel, to know when "summer" is near. Matthew 24:32 "Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:" It get's awfully "hot" in the summer, if you know what I mean. Summer begins June 20, 2021. Psalm 90:10 is also important because it gives us the length of a generation. 70 and 80 years. Most important, Israel's generation since they were born in 1948. Jesus says in Matthew 24:34 "Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." The fig tree generation of 1948. Psalm 90:10 says "The days of our years are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they be eighty years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away." 80 - 73 = 7. It is "soon" "cut off" and we "fly away." Rather than at the end. From Sunday, June 20, 2021 to Sunday, May 14, 2028 (Israel's 80th Birthday) is 2520 days. That is 7 (360) day years. 360 day years are seen as prophetic years. It's the time of Jacob's Trouble the time of Daniels 70th and final week of years. 7 years. We know 2520 days is the length of the 7 Year Tribulation. Daniels 70th week. Daniel 9:24-27 speaks of 70 weeks where a covenant is confirmed or strengthened for one week or 7 years. Daniel 9:27 "Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week he shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate." And the summer solstice of 2021 in the Northern Hemisphere will be at 11:32 pm EDT (right before midnight) on Saturday, June 20, 2021. And it will be 6:32 am IDT in the morning in Jerusalem on Sunday, June 21, 2021. Spring ends and summer begins. Also, Orthodox Pentecost Is Sunday, June 20, 2021 ___________________________________ And Sharing from Yvonne Ok. Leviticus 12:2 "Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean SEVEN days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean." Woman = Israel Man Child = Church. Once the Church is caught up in Revelation 12:5 “And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.” Israel will be "unclean" for 7 years ( 7 years Jacob's Trouble = 7 years tribulation ). The Harpazo has been talked to us since the Old Testament time, it was just a mystery until the End Times. Jesus did tell Daniel to shut up the book until the end times. "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." ___________________________________ We are approaching soon the fulfilment of Revelation 12:3-5 and Revelation 6:12-14. The asteroid storm. The reason for the Rapture. Revelation 12:3-5 "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne." And, untimely figs fall in the spring. Revelation 6:12-14. Right before summer. I think we "might" be cutting it real close here with the spring/summer dividing line. Revelation 6:12-14 "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her "untimely figs", when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places." This also happens in the spring / summer. Song of Solomon 2:10-13 "My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle (dove) is heard in our land; The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away." I believe Jesus is coming to evacuate his people. I believe all the signs we have seen and are seeing even today are showing us he is at the door. I've never been so on the edge of my seat.

June 20 is Biblical Pentecost Rapture Watch

June 20 Biblical Pentecost Rapture Watch T.W. Tramm Post · JUNE 10 MARKS two important anniversaries this year: 1) Ascension Day, the anniversary of Jesus’ ascent into heaven. 2) Jerusalem Day, the anniversary of the recapture of East Jerusalem by Israeli forces in 1967. So in a rare concurrence, Ascension Day is also Jerusalem Day in 2021. Something else biblical is happening on June 10: a rare annular 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. Understanding that God uses eclipses as “signs,” it is significant that the ring-eclipse will be visible above the spot where the longitudinal lines connecting every landmass on earth converge. So rather than being addressed to a particular nation, the June 10 eclipse-sign would seem to be addressed to the whole world. What could be the message of a “ring” eclipse on Ascension Day and Jerusalem Day? A ring is the universal symbol of betrothal and God’s faithfulness; it reminds us of His “wedding covenant” with believers. Ascension Day reminds us that Jesus ascended into the clouds and that we will, one day, meet Him there at the “wedding” we call the Rapture (1 Thess. 4:16, 17). Jerusalem Day celebrates the restoration of Israel, which in itself is a sign of the Lord’s appearing: “When the LORD shall build up Zion [Jerusalem], he shall appear in his glory” (Ps. 102:16). Therefore, an awesome celestial ring at the top of the globe on Ascension Day and Jerusalem Day could be read as a sign of the Bridegroom’s coming. PENTECOST CONCURRENCE Ten days after the ring eclipse, June 20, marks Pentecost, the festival associated with the wheat harvest, the Church, and weddings (Ex. 34:22; Acts 2; Ex. 19). Pentecost is also seeing a rare concurrence this year: the harvest festival lands on the solstice, marking the beginning of summer, which also happens to be Father’s Day. Thus, June 2021 is seeing two rare date-concurrences—one on June 10 and another on June 20—both with major eschatological overtones. A PIVOTAL DATE In addition to marking Pentecost and the beginning of summer, June 20 marks the one-year anniversary of a ring-eclipse that occurred above the Eastern Christian world on the first day of summer in 2020. Again, viewing the ring as a symbol of betrothal, the timing of the 2020 ring-eclipse is particularly striking because, according to Jewish tradition, the bridegroom comes to gather the bride on the one-year anniversary of the betrothing. A second coincidence related to June 20 is that there are exactly 2,520 days, or seven “prophetic” years, between this date and Israel’s 80th birthday in 2028. Israel’s 80th birthday is a crucial milestone because Scripture defines the upper limit of a human lifespan as 80 years, and Jesus says the generation who sees Israel reborn will see all the end-times prophecies fulfilled (Ps. 90:10; Matt. 24:32–34). A third coincidence related to June 20 is that Pentecost, a festival whose date varies from year to year, lands on the same date (June 20) in the years 28 AD and 1948, linked to Jesus’ first coming and the start of the fig-tree generation, respectively. With the years 28 AD and 1948 in view, consider Hosea’s prophecy about the Lord’s second coming: “After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live in his presence” (Hos. 6:2). A day can represent a thousand years in Scripture (2 Pet. 3:8). Counting two (thousand-year) “days” from 28 AD, we arrive at 2028, the calculated upper limit of the fig-tree generation and a likely year for Jesus’ Second Coming—the time when He will raise up Israel so they may “live in His presence” during the Millennium. To be clear, no one knows the day of the Rapture (Matt. 24:36). However, concurrences like the ones noted here are not coincidental and should be read as “signs” that the time is indeed near and that summer is a pivotal season. So be encouraged and look up, the Bridegroom could soon be on His way! . . . NOTES: 1. 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. 2. Jerusalem Day: https://www.myjewishlearning.com/.../yom-yerushalayim.../ 3. The 1967 restoration of Jerusalem occurred on the biblical calendar date Iyarr 28. Per the modern Jewish calendar, Israelis celebrate Jerusalem Day on May 10 in 2021. However, based on the biblical (post-equinox) reckoning of the Nisan 1, Jerusalem Day correctly corresponds to June 10.

June 10 annular eclipse: https://earthsky.org/?p=358463 5. Eclipses as signs: “And God said, Let there be lights (sun, moon, and stars) in the firmament … and let them be for signs” (Gen. 1:14). “The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD” (Joel 2:31). 6. Interesting association of the Church, Pentecost, eclipses, and the Day of the Lord: On the Church’s first Pentecost, Peter, the disciple to whom Jesus declared the founding of the Church, stood up before the crowd and cited a passage about solar and lunar eclipses preceding the Day of the Lord (Matt. 16:18) Acts 2: 20, 21) Thus, Pentecost is associated with the Church, eclipse-signs, and the onset of the Day of the Lord. 7. Christianity by country (Eastern Christian World): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestantism_by_country https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_by_country https://cartomission.com/.../christian-population-by.../ 8. 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. According to E.W. Bullinger, 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, 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.) 9. 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 10. 2,520 days represent a perfect period of seven (360-day) years in Scripture. The “prophetic” 360-day year is referenced in Daniel and Revelation where “time, times and half a time,” referring to half of a seven-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). 11. It is remarkable that there are exactly seven prophetic years, or 2,520 days, between the calculated end of the fig-tree generation, May 14, 2028, and Pentecost, June 20, 2021. However, I do not see this alignment as necessarily defining the bounds of the Tribulation; it seems more likely a numeric “sign” confirming the significance of the seven-year period between 2021 –28. 12. Another fascinating coincidence related to the number 2,520 pertains to Daniel’s 70 weeks prophecy. In Daniel 9, a 70-weeks countdown to redemption begins with a decree to “rebuild Jerusalem” (v. 25). Scholars generally agree that the decree mentioned in Daniel was given in 457 BC by Persian King Artaxerxes. Thus, the giving of the decree in 457 BC is the event that set the clock ticking to Messiah’s appearance and Israel’s ultimate redemption at the end of the age. Here is the amazing part: Counting 2,520 prophetic (360-day) years from 457 BC, we arrive at 2028, the calculated upper limit of the fig-tree generation. Understanding that God is the master of time and that every part of His plan has meaning, it makes sense that the overall timespan encompassing Daniel’s 70 weeks, including the lengthy “gap” between the 69th and 70th week, would have significance related to the fullness of time. This is why the 2,520-timespan between 457 BC and 2028 is striking—the number 2,520 perfectly symbolizes the fullness of time. . . . *For more on why 2021 could be a pivotal year in Bible prophecy, see T.W.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE: No one knows the day of Jesus’ return (Matt. 24:36). However, Scripture says those who are watching will see the day approaching and will not be surprised when it arrives (Heb. 10:25; 1 Thess. 5:4). A convergence of biblical signs and timelines indicates the day is near (Luke 21:28). If you want to escape the indescribable horror of the Tribulation period, call on the name of Jesus, and believe that He is the Son of God who died for your sins and was raised from the dead (Rom. 10:13). Do it today. Time is running out.
