NEW COMPREHENSION OF GOD'S HEAVENLY CALENDAR SHOWS HOW WE MISCALCULATED THE RAPTURE DATE!!

What a grand deception by the great deceiver! God's people have been following the wrong calendar, one that has been contrived by the enemy to deceive.

Without the correct understanding of God's appointed method of time-keeping, we are clueless as to where we really are on God's timeline.

To begin with, it is important to realize that the use of the constellations has been contorted by the enemy into use by soothsayers as if they are for the purpose of divination. 

In actuality, the constellations were placed in the heavens by God, the creator, to tell the story of His plan of redemption for fallen mankind. 

The "Zodiac" of today's secular astrology is called the Mazzaroth in Hebrew.

The constellations were created for use in time keeping; in order for man to keep track of the seasons according to God's infallible calendar in the heavens.

Genesis 1:14-18, "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, and for SEASONS. (emphasis mine)

Please note that in the Torah, of the Old Testament, we are told that astrology is not simply a superstition, but a capital crime - punishable by death! Misuse of God's Mazzaroth for ungodly pursuits holds fatal consequences!

"The names of these stars, Virgo, Pisces, Capricorn, Leo etc., are familiar to us today, because they are used by astronomers and navigators to designate various areas of the sky. Sadly they have also been exploited by astrologers for occultic purposes which are so very far from the truth. The 12 signs have nothing to say about man, however they do have a great deal to say about God's plan of redemption for mankind - from the virgin birth (Virgo) to the triumph of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah (Leo)!" ~Chuck Missler

The following details by Robert Rose explains how by the Mazzaroth, the seasons were to be determined and accordingly, the calendars:

"Our ancient fathers used to look to the sky to see where the sun and moon were in relation to the fixed stars, in order to know what month they were in.

Aries is the first month of Nisan and the symbol is the RAM or passover ram/lamb. The ancients always started the first month in Aries to kill the passover lamb during this time when the sun was in Aries.

Libra is the 7th Month Tirshri and is the symbol of Judgement or Righteous Justice.

The equinox used to start in Aries, but because the "Precession of the Equinox's" they drift back through time and now they start in Pisces.

Stars are the only heavenly bodies that are fixed. The Sun, Moon, Equinox's, Solstice's and Planets move all over the ecliptic and are not fixed. You HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT IS FIXED IN ORDER TO HAVE A REFERENCE POINT in the heavens.

Since the sun was in Aries when our ancient fathers started Nisan on the New Moon and the Sun was in Libra during the 7th Month new moon and the stars are fixed unlike everything else....

I don't see why we shouldn't be celebrating the appointed feasts of the LORD in their proper season.

The stars are fixed! Satan cannot tamper with them! But he can give us a New Jewish "Hillel" calendar and a "Gregorian" or "Julian calendar", and everyone will accept that and swallow the lie.

Based on all this....

2010 Nisan = May New Moon
2010 Tishri = November New Moon

2017 Nisan = April New Moon
2017 Tishri = October New Moon

Man's seasons begin according to the Sun and Equinox instead of the GOD's explanation above.

Man currently looks to flawed calendars that never existed in antiquity to observe the LORD's feasts, thereby being in error by their own ignorance."

Hosea 4: 6 My people perish from a lack of knowledge. 

Therefore, according to the stars that God has fixed in the heavens, the proper calendar dating has the first month of Nisan (including the Spring Feasts); to actually have started in May 2010 when the sun and new moon were in the constellation of Aries.

Accordingly, the genuine seventh month of Tishri (beginning God's Fall Feast days)will begin this November when the sun and the coming new moon are in the constellation of Libra, the scales.


It is well known that satan is the father of lies and deception. What better deception than to have mankind to be ignorant of the true and actual time and date-

According to Biblical astronomy the sun has just moved into the constellation of Libra, indicating the beginning of the seventh month, at the new moon.

Consequently, God's astronomical timekeeping proves to us that we will soon be entering the truly valid seventh month of Tishri and the Fall Feast Days.

According to NASA, the coming new moon will be November 8th which would then begin the real Feast of Trumpets/Rosh Hashanah (according to God's determination by the Mazzaroth).

However, according to Scripture, Rosh Hashanah begins only at the visual sighting by two witnesses. 

So, the actual true Rosh Hashanah (determined by the constellations of the Mazzaroth) may be from November 8th to several days later; depending on the sighting of the new moon.

Please see the previous entry detailing the vast rationales why the Rapture of the readied Bride appears to occur on a Rosh Hashanah:

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/09/gods-feast-day-of-rosh-hashanahyom.html

Interestingly, the 30 days prior to the the Feast of Trumpets, the month of Elul, is when daily there is supposed to be self-examination and repentance because judgment is coming.

The scales of the constellation of Libra, with which the seventh month of God's astronomical calendar begins, coincides perfectly with the judgment that comes when all humanity is weighed on Rosh Hashanah.
Rosh Hashanah also is considered to be the Wedding of the Messiah. The Church is the Bride of Christ and the Rapture is when the Church is caught up to heaven to be wed with Christ.

In ancient Judaism, Tuesday night was when a Jewish Groom came back to receive His Bride. 

Notable is the fact that the newly recognized Rosh Hashanah of November 8th, starts on  Monday night which correlates to Tuesday by Jewish time keeping. 

As pointed out, Tuesday is the day of the week on which the Bridegroom comes to retrieve His Bride. 


Noteworthy is the fact that the Arab leaders have given a November 8th deadline to Obama for the Israeli "land for peace" situation to be resolved. 

If there is no resolution, the Arab solution may turn out to be war. Any future military conflict between Israel and her neighbors will result in the prophesied Psalm 83 War. Please see the following for details of this upcoming war:

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/04/what-is-psalm-83-war-here-are-details.html

According to the majority of Bible prophecy scholars and students, based on numerous findings, it appears that Daniel's Seventieth Week, or the time known as the seven year Tribulation, ends in the year 2017. 


Counting backwards seven years prior lands us in the year 2010. As such, it appears that the 7 year Tribulation is soon to commence.

God's Holy Feast Days are representative of His plan of redemption. Therefore,we can look towards the next few weeks, from the properly recognized date for Rosh Hashanah through the end of the Feast of Tabernacles, with anticipation that our Lord may soon returning for us!

May we all forgive others and repent while praying to be accounted "...worthy to escape the wrath to come and to stand before the Son of Man". ~ Luke 21:36

AMAZING REALIZATION INDICATING THE RAPTURE MAY WELL OCCUR ON THE INFAMOUS SEPTEMBER 11th!

As preface to this important realization, please refer to the previous blog entry detailing why the Feast of Trumpets/ Yom Teruah/Rosh Hashanah represents the Rapture of those whom belong to the Lord Jesus Christ:

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/09/gods-feast-day-of-rosh-hashanahyom.html

According to NASA ,the beginning of the phase of the new moon began September 8, 2010. The Gregorian calendar thus has the two day feast of Rosh Hashanah dated to be on September 8-9, 2010.

Biblically, the Feast of Rosh Hashanah begins when the new moon was sighted by two witnesses, who then report the sighting to the Sandhedrin.

When two persons saw the new moon they would come to the Jewish High Court and give testimony that they had seen the moon.

This did not mean that the court did not know when the moon was scheduled to appear, but rather that the sanctification of the moon had to be made according to eyewitness reports. 

The court would question the witnesses to ascertain that they indeed did see the moon. Afterwards, the court proclaimed that a new month had begun.

Just today, the new moon was finally sighted by two witnesses at sunset Friday, September 10th, Jerusalem time. Therefore, it was sighted just as the weekly Shabbat (Sabbath) was commencing.

No work is allowed on the Sabbath and the carrying of shofars is considered work. It therefore, is important to realize that if the Feast of Trumpets falls on a Sabbath that no shofars will be blown. 

Instead, the shofars will be blown on the second day of the Feast of Trumpets. 

According to Biblical dictate, Jewish custom and the actual visualization of the new moon by two witnesses, the first day of this year's Feast of Trumpets is in process at present. 

Since it began at Sabbath, no shofars are to be blown until the second day of the feast.

The second day of Rosh Hashanah will begin at sunset in Jerusalem on Saturday, September 11th.

This is equivalent to 10:51 a.m.(CST) on September 11, 2010 for Americans.

At that time, the second day of Rosh Hashanah begins and the shofars will be able to sound.

From Scripture, we know that the Rapture will be accompanied by the blowing of trumpets/shofars: 

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.

As such, many indicators, appears to point to the possibility that the timing of the Rapture may occur on the second day of Rosh Hashanah.

Those who are focused on the living Christ, may soon meet the Lord in the air, when the great shofar sounds!

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.

Notable is the fact that even if we had been told that the Rapture would occur on Yom Teruah 2010, we still could have not known the day or the hour because of the difference in time zones as well as the delayed sighting of the new moon.

Now we have this new realization that due to Rosh Hashanah falling on the Sabbath, that the shofar cannot sound until the second day, being the infamous September 11th.

As we appear to be nearing the return of Christ, may we prepare and examine ourselves, making sure we have truly repentant and forgiving hearts, with our focus fully on our Savior!! 

Even so come Lord Jesus, Yeshua Ha Mashiach!





GOD'S FEAST DAY OF ROSH HASHANAH/YOM TEURAH 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 spread to those 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" (which is also an idiom of this feast being 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" refers 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 rumours 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!
