ARE WE APPROACHING THE "LAST DAY" WHEN CHRIST WILL "RAISE" UP HIS OWN??

Before reading further, please see the previous entries that contain vast scientific, mathematical and historical evidence that all appear to be directly pointing to this Passover Week, 2012:

Please see the following study which also seems to pinpoint the LAST DAY of the Feast of Unleavened Bread which is also the LAST DAY of Passover Week, to be VERY significant:

http://www.rogershermansociety.org/fivedoves/gaston004.htm

Following are even more additional rationales that also strongly point to this Passover Week.

The seventh and LAST DAY of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, commemorates when Israel safely crossed the Red Sea, on dry ground, as they headed towards the Promised Land.

This imagery may parallel the designated day when the Bride of Christ will be given safe passage into the Promise of Heaven.

These many points appear to particularly hone in on the LAST DAY of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which ends this coming Shabbat.

Note that the weekly Shabbat (Sabbath Day/LAST DAY of the week) represents God's  appointed day of rest. Therefore, it appears to be a practice for our eternal rest.

As such, it would appear likely that the Rapture of those who long for His appearing would occur on a Shabbat/Sabbath Day.

Note that Yeshua told us TWICE that He will "raise" those that are His, "AT THE LAST DAY":

"And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at THE LAST DAY."

"For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the LAST DAY." John 6:39- 40

Important to be aware of is the fact that during Passover Week, The Song of Songs is traditionally read on the LAST DAY of the Feast of Unleavened Bread:

"My BELOVED speaks and says to me: ARISE, my love, my beautiful one, AND COME AWAY" Song of Solomon 2:10

The following 2 verses allude  to the Spring as being the time to "ARISE"!

"For behold, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone.The flowers are springing up, the season of singing birds has come, and the cooing of turtledoves fills the air."

Could this coming Spring, Sabbath day which is the LAST DAY/end of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, be the day that Yeshua beckons the readied and faithful Bride to "ARISE" and "COME AWAY"?

Very soon we shall see. It is time to ask God to reveal anything and everything in our lives that is displeasing to Him, so we can fully repent and prepare our hearts for His coming, whenever it may be.

May we all make sure our lamps are full to the brim with oil whenever our "BELOVED" Bridegroom returns to take us to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb!

PART 3-GOD'S PROPHETIC PLAN REVEALED IN THESE VERY LAST DAYS!

Before reading any further, please read the  previous two parts to this three part series, linked immediately below.

The astounding facts contained within them are the foundation for which this last of the series is built upon:

Part 1- http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2012/03/gods-prophetic-plan-revealed-in-these.html

Part 2- http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2012/04/gods-prophetic-plan-revealed-in-these.html

Next, we will investigate a newly discovered pattern regarding seismic activity. This pattern has now been recognized to have been in effect for at least 200 years, since the beginning of the modern day recording of earthquakes.

The below video details this stunning new revelation regarding the historical evidence, proving the "188 day" cycle of major quakes.
 

It also outlines how these cyclic quakes have actually produced geographical trigonometrical angles across the planet, referred to as "ley lines".

These mathematical "ley lines" further evidence the supernatural indication of these cyclic quakes.

As the video details, March 22, 2012 was the "due date" for there to be a large quake, directly associated with the 188 day cycle

Just prior to the 188 cycle "due date" of March 22nd, there were two major earthquakes on March 20th.

These "twin quakes" were highly unusual as they happened within 6 minutes of each other, on completely opposite sides of the globe.

Usually, any large seismic activity experienced during a short duration of time is always related to the initial quake, as in aftershocks.

Therefore, these two quakes on the exact opposite sides of our planet is noteworthy.

One of these "twin quakes" was 6.2 magnitude earthquake near Papua, Indonesia and the other a shallow 7.6 magnitude earthquake near Oaxaca, Mexico. For further details see:

http://theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com/2012/03/20/twin-earthquakes-rattle-the-globe-on-spring-equinox/

After the March 22, 2012 "due date", on March 25, 2012 there was a 7.1 in Maule, Chile.

To date, there have been many magnitude 4's, 5's and a few up to 6.1, at the highest.

Even with the above sizable quakes around the March 22nd due date, the fact that the 188 day pattern can have a variance, extending out to 11-15 days past the expected date, stuck out to me.

Interestingly, fifteen days from the original March 22, 2012 date lands directly on Passover, April 6, 2012.

The previous two blogs, linked above, expound on the importance of this year's Passover.

Therefore, this possibility of the 188 day cycle major resulting in a massive quake; falling on Passover was intriguing to say the least.

My personal belief is that the aforementioned "twin quakes" and all subsequent moderate quakes to date,  may only be precursors building up to a massive quake.

It has been impressed upon me that the current 188 day cyclic quake may be yet to occur.

This Passover quake potential soon changed from intriguing to literally jaw-dropping, when I was led to famed earthquake predictor, Jim Berkland.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Berkland

Mr. Berkland, a former U.S.G.S geologist, is  best known for his amazingly accurate prediction of the 1989, 6.9 Loma Prieta, California quake; that struck just prior to the start of the World Series game being played there.

"In an interview published on October 13, 1989, one day before the start of baseball's 1989 World Series, Berkland predicted that an earthquake with magnitude between 3.5 and 6.0 would occur in the San Francisco Bay Area between October 14 and October 21. The 6.9-magnitude Loma Prieta earthquake occurred on October 17, just before the start of the third game of the Series."

Soon after the realization of a possible Passover connection; I was blessed to have been graciously allowed a personal interview with Mr. Berkland.

As Part 1 and Part 2 of this series asserts, the window of Passover week, April 6-14 2012 has been pinpointed by not only scientific but also, historical and mathematical facts aligning Biblically, with almost laser precision.

Therefore, imagine my astonishment when during our conversation, Mr. Berkland, as a expert in seismology and proven earthquake prediction, relayed his "seismic window" to be the EXACT same time period, of April 6-14, 2012!!

During a follow-up email, Mr. Berkland made this remark regarding our mutual "windows" of time:

"It was a pleasure to talk with you and learn that your "Window" matched mine of April 6-13, 2012, although derived by different means. 

I have been using the astronomical syzygy of the Moon-Earth-Sun linked to the monthly perigee of the Moon in order to establish the maximum tidal forces that affect the oceans AND the solid earth."

Regarding his acclaimed 1989 World Series prediction, Mr Berkland stated this regarding his prediction accuracy:

"Because of a newspaper article on extreme tides,I had an inspiration on January 8, 1974 that these forces might help trigger earthquakes. I checked on the previous six quakes in the Bay Area and found that they all fit the pattern. So I made my first prediction that a 4 to 5M quake would hit the South Bay within a week and a 4.4M hit two days later. Using this method I was successful 6 out of 8 times in 1974. I have maintained that average ever since then."

Important to note: the definition of a "perigee" of the moon is when its orbit has its closest to the Earth.

He also indicated that the full moon and lunar perigee are usually up to 8 days apart, and are within 25 hours only two to five times a year; thereby signifying that a shorter time interval between the two is rare.

Mr. Berkland then continued:

"The Full Moon/Perigee separation on Oct. 14, 1989 was the closest of the year a 4 hours, and the tides were the highest in 3 years, when I made my prediction for a World Series Earthquake of 6.5-7.0M."

Next, he outlined and explained all the supporting factors pointing to his predicted April 6-13th '"seismic window":

"As for the tides, there are three most important factors, the alignment of Sun, Moon and Earth; the closest monthly approach of the Moon to the Earth; and the yearly closest approach of the Earth to the Sun. 

On April 6, 2012 the Full Moon and Perigee will be only 21 hours apart and the Golden Gate tides will reach 7.7 ft. Compared with a normal 4-4.5 ft. This creates one of the Top Seismic Windows I have recognized, with a high potential for earthquakes.

After I spoke with you on the phone this morning I realized that the May 4-11 Seismic Window was even more potent as the  G.G. (Golden Gate Bridge).


Tides reach a maximum 8.6 ft.and the Full Moon/perigee will be separated by an

Incredibly short interval of two minutes!

We must keep in mind that the highest tides do not necessarily stimulate the highest magnitude quakes, but, in my view, the highest potential for quakes"

The preceding quote clearly displays Mr, Berkland's extreme excitement and amazement at the upcoming April 6-14 and May 4-11, "seismic windows".

Furthermore, during our phone interview, Mr.Berkland expressed that the two above seismic windows are episodes that he has never seen in his decades long career nor aware of any having ever occurred.

Mr.Berkland's observation "that the highest tides do not necessarily stimulate the highest magnitude quakes, but, in my view, the highest potential for quakes" may support that the April 6-14th window may be still be as likely a date as the May 4-11 window.

Stunningly, the never seen before events of the May 4-11 seismic window, fall during God's appointed Second Passover, on May 6, 2012

In the Book of Numbers, God outlined a Second Passover for those unable to observe the first Passover.

Anyone who was "unclean" due to contact with death or who was on a far-away journey at the time of the Passover offering on the 14th of Nisan ( April 6th of this year), would then offer the sacrificial lamb one month later, on the 14th of Iyar, (May 6th of this year).

The odds that both of Mr. Berkland's seismic windows would correlate perfectly with the "windows" of BOTH Passovers, in conjunction with all the substantiating data covered in Part 1 and Part 2, is nothing less than phenomenal!

During our conversation, Mr. Berkland informed me that his method of predicting seismic activity included the observation of abnormal animal behavior such as beaching of marine life.

Interestingly, this past week, there has reported the beaching of hundreds of dolphins in Peru as well as  in Cape Cod off the East Coast of America:

http://www.peruthisweek.com/news-1868-Over-3-thousand-dead-dolphins-found-on-beaches-in-northern-Peru/

http://www.globalanimal.org/2012/02/07/dolphin-strandings-pass-annual-average-in-a-month/65746/

In addition, the mysterious loud noises being heard all around the globe are becoming more widespread and  are now being reported from areas all across the globe.



These well documented, strange noises ought to be like warning bells clanging that something is greatly amiss!

In fact, it appears that these startling audio disturbances in our atmosphere may actually be harbingers of a coming great quake.

They could be the sounds of the tectonic plates shifting or being tugged by the recently escalating and explosive geothermal activity.

Little is being reported about the current spate of unprecedented, increasing volcanic awakenings and eruptions:

http://www.volcanodiscovery.com/erupting_volcanoes.html

This uptick in volcanic activity would definitely have the propensity to stimulate seismic activity.

Earthquakes and volcanoes are interrelated as the molten rock of volcanoes is the foundation for the tectonic plates.

It is easy to see how agitation and instability from the expanding volcanic action could lead to a weakening of the integrity of the Earth's tectonic plates. 

Therefore, this has great potential of leading up to a massive quake(s).

As such, we may be witnessing the build up to the " Great Earthquake" of the Sixth Seal; which many believe to be the event coinciding with a pre-wrath Rapture.

As previously covered in Part 1 and Part 2, all signs are pointing to this Passover week, 2012, to usher in the the Great Tribulation, which is the wrath of God on the lukewarm and lost.

As such, a Sixth Seal/pre-wrath Rapture may be in line, to precede the coming wrath.

In my humble opinion, these ever increasing volcanic awakenings may actually be Hell enlarging itself for the massive influx of souls that will soon enter during the soon coming Tribulation:

"Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it." Isaiah 5:14

Due to all the above factors, there may be a massive earthquake pending. This "great earthquake" may occur during this coming Passover week, or else on Second Passover.

Remember both of these time frames are within Jim Berkland's "seismic windows".

There is a distinct possibility that America's West Coast could be the epicenter. According to the 188 day cycle, all corresponding quakes appear to be advancing systematically around the ring of fire. 

Alaska or the West Coast would be next area, according to this pattern.

The undeniable data appears to show that Great Tribulation/Wrath is about to commence.

Further facts appear to be pointing to a possibility that the "great earthquake" of the Sixth Seal may be looming on the horizon. 

"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" (Rev. 6.12)

As we approach Passover Week, may we all take heed the commands God gave to us regarding this appointed Feast of His.  Imperative to note is the fact that "leaven" represents sin.

Thus, the preparations of removing and keeping the leaven out, before as well as during the Passover, signals us to examine and ready ourselves.

It also alerts us to cautiously keep leaven/sin out of our lives during the Passover season.

Exodus 12:19 For seven days no yeast is to be found in your houses.For seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses.

These instructions to remove the leaven/sin from our lives may be purposeful-to prepare us for His return during a Passover.

Scripture also warns us to be thoroughly prepared and ready to depart at Passover:

"And thus shall you eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD'S passover." Exodus 12:11

Therefore, may we all seek to remove all leaven/sin from our hearts and lives, so we can be ready to leave, hastily, at a moment's notice, "in the twinkling of an eye"

 "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. 1 Corinthians 15:52

GOD'S PROPHETIC PLAN REVEALED IN THESE LAST DAYS!

As we close in on God's last days plan, it as if the puzzle pieces are flying into place. Everything seems to be coming more and more into focus.

It appears as if the closer we get, the more light that God is allowing to be shed on the details of His end times plan.

Recent developments seem to be further unveiling of parts of the puzzle.
 
Some of these discoveries are new realizations and others seem to be confirming previously held perspectives; as well as serving to support newly revealed information.

First, we will delve into conceptions already held by many throughout the prophetic community.

Then, in a following blog, Part 2, we will work our way into recently revealed information that appears to perfectly tie everything together.

4 years ago, in 2008, Mark Biltz discovered an astronomical phenomenon that is indeed "astronomical" in importance!

Before dissecting these amazing phenomena though, these facts need to be understood:

1)The Feast Days outlined in the book of Leviticus are not just Jewish Feast Days. They are instead, the Feast Days of the Lord. 

God stressed to us that they are HIS feast days so that ALL of His followers, Jew and Gentile, would  observe His appointed feasts and be able to recognize their importance in God's prophetic plan:

Leviticus 23: 1The Lord said to Moses, 2“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘These are my appointed feasts, the appointed feasts of the Lord, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies.
 

2)God's appointed feasts/sacred assemblies and their different names, which may be used interchangeably, are as follows:

1)PASSOVER
2)Unleavend Bread

3)Firstfruits
4)Shavout

5)Rosh Hashanah/Feast of Trumpets/Yom  Teruah)

6)Day of Atonement/Yom Kippur

7)TABERNACLES/ Sukkoth/Ingathering)

Note: Passover is the first Feast Day of the year to be observed and Tabernacles is the last Feast Day of the year to be observed.

3) A total lunar eclipse produces a "blood red moon".

4) According to NASA, four total lunar eclipses in a row is known as a tetrad.

5)God placed the sun, moon and stars in the heavens as signals of things to come:

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs (owth), and for seasons (moed), and for days, and years: Genesis 1:14
 
"owth" - (in the sense of appearing): a signal

"moed"- an appointment, a fixed time or season: also a signal (as appointed beforehand):  appointed (signal, time)

6) God's appointed Feast Days are all reckoned according to the stages of the moon. Thus, we can that the moon is rendered as both an "owth", as well as a "moed".

While collating the Jewish Calendar and NASA's eclipse website, Pastor Biltz made the amazing discoveries:

The year 2014 has two "blood red moons" or total eclipses of the moon; one occurring on April 15, 2014 (the very day of the Feast of Passover) and other occurring on October 8, 2014 (the very day of the Feast of Tabernacles).

These two eclipses are immediately followed by two additional "blood moons" in the year 2015; one occurring on April 4, 2015 (the very day of the Feast of Passover) and one occurring on September 28, 2015 (the very day of the Feast of Tabernacles).

Therefore, for two years in a row, there will be a total lunar eclipse/blood moons falling exactly on God's first, (Passover), and then last(Tabernacles), appointed Feast Days:

 
The Tetrad of 2014 through 2015:

April 15, 2014	Passover	Total Lunar Eclipse
October 8, 2014	Tabernacles	Total Lunar Eclipse
April 4, 2015	Passover	Total Lunar Eclipse
September 28, 2015	Tabernacles	Total Lunar Eclipse

After the above four "blood moons" of 2014 and 2015, there are no more such tetrads occurring on Jewish holidays in this century. In fact, there are no more for a hundred years

Biltz further discovered that there have been a total of ONLY SEVEN Passover/Tabernacles tetrads since 1 A.D:

162/163 A.D.
795/796 A.D.
842/843 A.D.
860/861 A.D.
1493/1494 A.D.
1949/1950 A.D.
1967/1968 A.D.

Thus, the 2014/2015 A.D. Tetrads on Passover and then on Tabernacles, will be only the eighth such tetrad in  more than 2000 years.

So, tetrads aligning perfectly with the Lord's Feast Days, are rare beyond belief.

Biltz also noticed that there are two solar eclipses coming in the year 2015, wherein the sun will be temporarily blocked out.

1)The first solar eclipse will occur on March 20, 2015 which happens to mark the very first day of the sacred/Biblical calendar (as outlined in Leviticus). 

This will be exactly 14 days before the "blood red moon" lunar eclipse coming on April 4, 2015 which is Passover.

2)The second solar eclipse will occur on September 13, 2015 which happens to mark the very first day of the civil calendar, which is the Feast Day of Rosh Hashanah/Feast of Trumpets.

This will be exactly 14 days before the "blood red moon" lunar eclipse coming on September 28, 2015, which is The Feast of Tabernacles.

Note that both of the below verses, which refer to the "great and glorious/terrible day of the Lord" appear to allude to either the beginning of the Great Tribulation, or else Yeshua's Second Coming.

Both verses ascribe that a darkened sun as well as a blood moon will usher in this time period:

Joel:31 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.

Acts 2:20 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.

As such, the aforementioned solar and lunar eclipses of 2014/2015 appear to be the fulfillment of these verses.

Even more astounding about these tetrads are the facts surrounding the ones just previous to 2014/2015:

The prior Tetrads tied to Hebrew Holidays are extremely significant.

They occurred two years running, right after modern day Israel became a nation in 1948 and then, right after Israel recaptured Jerusalem and the Temple Mount in 1967:

The Tetrad of 1967 - 1968   Tied to the 7 day war where Israel took Jerusalem in June 1967.:
 

April 24 1967	Passover	Total Lunar Eclipse
October 18, 1967	Tabernacles	Total Lunar Eclipse
April 13, 1968	Passover	Total Lunar Eclipse
October 6, 1968	Tabernacles	Total Lunar Eclipse

NOTE: Even though Israel declared themselves a nation in 1948,  the first permanent government didn't take office on Jan 25, 1949.  Israel had a transitional government in 1948.

In this way, the tetrad can tie to the year 1949 for the first elected office of that year and the birth year still be 1948. 

The Tetrad of 1949 through 1950 -Tied to the rebirth of the nation of Israel on May 14, 1948.: 
 

April 13, 1949   Passover    Total Lunar Eclipse
Oct, 7, 1949    Tabernacles Total lunar Eclipse                                                                  April 2,   1950  Passover    Total Lunar Eclipse
Sept. 26, 1950 Tabernacles Total Lunar Eclipse
Unbelievably, there were no tetrads whatsoever, for five hundred (500) years prior to these. Incredibly these tetrads all perfectly bookmark the inception of modern day Israel and her recapture of God's Holy City, Jerusalem. The preceding tetrad to these was 500 years prior, in 1493/1494.  These blood moons, on Passover/Tabernacles 1493/1494, for both years were tied to the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1493. Therefore, the relationship of the tetrads falling exactly on God's Feast Days, in conjunction with major events in the lives of His chosen people, Israel, is astonishingly clear! It is easy to see that the odds for these signs in the heavens, are surely nothing short of miraculous! God the creator, has set out His prophetic plans in the Heavens, as well as in His Word. Please "stay tuned" for Part 2, in which even more jaw-dropping data will be investigated!

IS YOUR CITIZENSHIP IN HEAVEN??

WARNING TO ANY LUKEWARM, WHO HAVE BEEN ENSNARED BY THE CARES OF THIS WORLD:

"For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, THE LATTER END IS WORSE with them than the beginning.

For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them." 2 Peter 2:20-21

The below is paraphrased from the following link and contains a vital last minute warning to us all:

http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/oct2011/sabrina1026.htm

"So many run here; and there; and everywhere to find answers for living. 

There is ONE WAY ...only through JESUS,  the ONE and ONLY WAY, the only LIGHT, the only HOPE, the only TRUTH. 

All other ways, roads are leading to destruction.  Many are being led astray.  The enemy has crafted a large trap and many are falling into it daily.  

Men are seeking other men for all the answers to their problems. 

So many listen intently, daily to men who do not really know the Lord, as if these mere men have all the answers to this troubled world. 

So many of the children of God are clinging to and seeking answers in many places— in mammon, in governments, in man’s vain philosophies, through wooden idols and through scores of books written by men who are mortal and too busy writing their books to even read the most important book ever written: GOD's BOOK.

All answers lie in JESUS and the words of His Book.  It is time to seek only Him, Seek only His Words. 

Time is nearly up for true repentance. It is time to wash ourselves in the Word of Yeshua and His Blood.

This is a warning to get right with your GOD while there is still time. We need to go before HIM in serious repentance, seeking HIM for all our answers.

We need to surrender our all in all to the Savior. There is but a fraction of time left in which  to come to Jesus in deep repentance.

This world now has easy and plentiful access to His Truth.  Those who reject His Word, so readily available will be held at a higher level of accountability.

To trample on the HOLY WORDS of GOD as if the world and what it has to offer is so much more valuable and credible than His Word, and His Truth, and His Offer of Wholeness and Salvation is dangerous, with eternal consequences."

May we all seek Him with our whole hearts, giving Him the glory and honor He deserves.
 

Let us refocus our lives today, giving the things of God priority over these passing earthly pursuits.

It is time to see that we are at the end of the age and this world and all it offers is passing away, so; the Kingdom of God that will NEVER pass away is where all our affections should be focused. 

After all, God's Heavenly Kingdom is where the citizenship of all true believers lies.

THE MANY REASONS WHY THE LORD'S FEAST DAY OF ROSH HASAHANAH, REPRESENTS THE RAPTURE

The first thing that is imperative to realize is that God's feast days that He outlined in the Torah, represent God's plan of redemption, compromising both His first and second coming. 

 

 Note that there are seven Levitical  feast days outlined by God. The number seven represents completion and is God's perfect number.

 

Please see the following website for an elaboration on God's perfect number being the number, 7 :

http://www.angelfire.com/az/rainbowbridge/seven.html

Jesus has already fulfilled all the Spring Feast days with His first coming.

 

The upcoming Fall feast days represent the Rapture, His Second Coming and the Millennial period. 


The next feast day to be fulfilled would be the first Fall festival, Rosh Hashanah.

It is important to remember that the feast days are NOT just Jewish feast days but are God's feast days. In the book of Leviticus, God stressed that they are HIS feast days. 

Leviticus 23: 

1The Lord said to Moses, 2“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘These are my appointed feasts, the appointed feasts of the Lord, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies. 

So, the festival (feast) days belong to the Lord Himself. His followers, Jew and Gentile are to keep them. 

 

If the Church had been observing God's feast days then they would have realized that His return for His own would come one Rosh Hashanah/ Yom Teruah.

 

It is noteworthy to realize that Rosh Hashanah has several different titles, all referring to the same festival.

 

It is also known as Yom Teruah,or the Feast of Trumpets. These titles, as well as other names for this important festival, will be used interchangeably throughout this entry. 

 

Yom Teruah is the only one of God's feast days that starts on the sighting of the new moon. 

 

The Jewish idiom for God's feast day of Yom Teruah, is the feast "of which no man knows the day or the hour". 

 

Due to the dispersion of the Jewish people from their land in ancient days, the feast of the new moon/Yom Teruah could have been over before word of the sighting of the new moon in Jerusalem, spread to those who were dispersed in Babylon.

 

Therefore, Rosh Hashanah was celebrated as a two day festival but recognized as one long day. It is the only feast day that begins at the sighting of the new moon by two witnesses in Jerusalem. 

 

Because of this, no one could know for certain, beforehand, the day or hour of the beginning of the feast of Yom Teruah. 

 

Bear in mind that Yeshua (Jesus)was Jewish, speaking to His Jewish disciples when He used this well known Jewish idiom: 

 

Matt. 24: 36“ No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Just as in American culture, one would know that if someone informed them that they would visit them on "Turkey Day'" that they were indicating Thanksgiving. 

 

 In the same manner, the Scripture indicates that our Jewish Savior was referring to the well known 2 day feast of Yom Teruah/"on a day or hour that no man knows". This idiom is also indicates how this feast is representative of the Jewish Wedding. 

 

"Of that day or hour no man knows, but my Father only" is the expression used by a Jewish groom when asked when he will go and steal away his bride "like a thief in the night".

 

1 Thessalonians 5:2 For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

 

The Jewish groom (representing Jesus) goes away to prepare a place for his bride. When preparations on the bridal chamber are completed, the father of the groom (representing our Heavenly Father)tells his son it is time to fetch his bride.

 

The Feast of Trumpets is also known as the "wedding of the Messiah", and therefore, the expression about "not knowing the day or the hour" again is shown to refer to the Jewish wedding custom in relation to this feast.

 

Believers are the Bride of Christ for whom the Bridegroom, Yeshua, (Jesus) will one day come to take to His Father's House, at the time of the Rapture.

 

Therefore, it is clear that the Rapture must take place on a Feast of Trumpets/the wedding of the Messiah.

 

Remember Jesus's assurance to us, His Bride:

Matthew 14:1“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. 2There is more than enough room in my Father’s home.^a If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?^b 3When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.

 

Thus, it can easily be seen how this feast day represents the Rapture, as the Bride of Christ, we are caught up in the air to be with the Lord and to attend the marriage supper of the Lamb.

The title, Yom Teruah, means Day of Trumpets in Hebrew. There is the blowing of 100 shofar blasts towards the very end of the celebration of this feast. 

The one hundredth and last blast is called "THE LAST TRUMP".  

Just as Jesus was Jewish speaking to a Jewish audience so was Paul, as a Jew, relating the well known Jewish name for the last shofar blast blown ending the Feast of Trumpets/Yom Teruah:

 

1 Corinthians 15:52 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.

  

On The Feast of Trumpets, the challah, or special bread, is baked into the shape of a circle, representing a crown.

It is on this day that the coronation of the King is to occur and the King which we know to be Yeshua Ha Mashiach, is to be enthroned on this festival/feast day. The shofar is blown during the coronation of a king. 

 As such, it can be seen that one day, on a Yom Teruah, (which means the "day of blowing") that the shofars will be blown announcing the coronation of King Jesus!

 

 The thirty days prior to Yom Teruah are the month of Elul. Daily during this month, leading up to Rosh Hashanah, we are supposed to reflect on our lives because God's judgment is coming on Rosh Hashanah.

 

The message from Elul 1 to Rosh Hashanah is clear: Repent before Rosh Hashanah. Don’t wait until after Rosh Hashanah, or you will find yourself in the Days of Awe.

The Days of Awe are the seven days in between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement.

These 7 days represent the 7 year Tribulation period and The Day of Atonement represents the Second Coming of Jesus.




God is so loving and merciful that He gave us each year, 30 days to search our hearts and repent prior to what one year will be the Rapture on a Yom Teruah.

Another name for Rosh Hashanah is Yom HaDin which means Day of Judgment. The Jewish people believe that on Rosh Hashanah the"books” are opened in heaven. 

There are three books opened - that of life, for those whose works had been good; another of death, for those who had been thoroughly evil; and a third, intermediate.

Those classified as intermediate are those whose case will be decided on the Day of Atonement (seven days after Rosh Hoshanna on Yom Kippur).

The delay is granted for true repentance, which without, their names would be finally entered, into the book of of death. 



For those who truly repent and forgive others, their names will be entered into the book of Life.

The opening of the books on Rosh Hashanah signifies the judgment of mankind wherein the righteous will be taken in the Rapture and the intermediates and wicked will be left behind to face the 7 year Tribulation. 

The intermediates are those who Jesus called lukewarm and warned He would "vomit" them out of His mouth. 

Revelation 3:15-17

¹⁵ “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. ¹⁶ So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,^[a] I will vomit you out of My mouth. 

Recognizing this, all professing Christians need to make sure their focus is on the things of God instead of the world:

Revelation 3: 17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked

Rosh Hashanah is also known as Yom HaKeseh (Day of the Hiding or Hidden Day) which one may translate into the raptured Bride of Christ being "hidden" in Heaven during the cataclysmic events of the 7 year Tribulation (correlating with the 7 days of Awe).

One of the reasons for blowing the shofar is to proclaim the resurrection of the dead. Jewish thought is that the resurrection of the dead will take place on a Rosh Hashanah. 

Followers of Christ realize that the Rapture is indeed the day of the Resurrection of the dead in Christ. 

In addition, this feast  is also known as the Day of the Awakening Blast or The Day of the Awakening Shout.

1 Thes 4:15-18 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 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: 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. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 

The blast of the shofar and the shout of the Lord will one day awaken those who now sleep.


With the dead in Christ, those who are alive and truly belong to the risen Lord, will be "caught up together with them into the clouds" into glorified bodies and everlasting life.

Also, the gates of Heaven are understood to be opened on Rosh Hashanah.  


As such, it is further evidence that the Rapture of the believers in Christ will take place on a Rosh Hashanah when the gates of Heaven are open, in which we may enter in.

The time of sorrows (birth pains) have been steadily growing stronger and closer together just as Jesus prophesied they would as the time of the end drew near.

 Matthew 24:⁶And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

 ⁷For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

 ⁸All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Therefore, we can be able to recognize how close to the end we are on God's prophetic timeline. 

The hour is growing late. We are at the end of the age and our Lord is returning. 

May all realize that it is time to shift our focus from the things of the temporal to eternity.

May we all repent, forgive others and give the God of Heaven the priority that He deserves!

NON-STOP EARTHQUAKES CONTINUE UNABATED!

As per the following animated map, Japan continues to experience non-stop earthquakes since the massive, never before recorded 9.1 quake, more than a month ago.

These are more evidence of the escalating birth pains of earthquakes, just as Jesus prophesied for the end of the age:

"...there will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains." Mark 13:8

The next link is to yet a second map of non-stop earthquake activity:

In Christchurch, New Zealand, quake activity has been continuing for almost SEVEN and a HALF MONTHS now. 

Please see the following entries for the miraculous details surrounding the initial Christchurch earthquake of September 2010, as well as the recent deadly quake back in late February of this year.

It is important to note that our high tech society has had access to sensitive seismographs for many years now.

Therefore, the usual excuse that this all is just " normal' but the only difference is that now we have the technology to detect it", doesn't fly.

So, let it be clear that this incessant seismic activity is any thing but normal. 

For earthquake statistics that definitely prove that the seismic activity is indeed increasing, please see the following entry: 

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2011/04/do-these-earthquakes-mean-that-we-are.html

Oddly though, as the seismic "birth pains"continue to escalate; it almost appears as though mankind is quickly being desensitized to the point where ABNORMAL and bizarre is somehow being viewed as the new NORMAL!

Please view the below video which shows just how very abnormal our world is becoming. 

Never before has the earth seemed to breathe and actually sway as the very ground beneath the feet of the people of Japan now is. 

May blinded eyes be opened to the fact that the world is unraveling before us and that the end of the age is here!

We are soon approaching the coming Tribulation period wherein ABNORMAL will truly be the "NORM".

It is time to repent and give God the glory and devotion He deserves; while releasing our grips on the things of this world, which are fast fading into an unrecognizable state.

The Lord Jesus is soon coming in the Rapture, for His who are ready and "love not the world or anything in it".

1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
