Yes.

The Bible says that God uses the moon and the heavens as signs to us (Luke, Acts, Joel, etc).

Also, the Jewish feasts are significant to Christians. Christ fulfilled the Spring feasts:

- He was crucified on Passover as the Lamb

- His body was laid in the grave on the feast of Unleavened Bread

- He was resurrected on First Fruits

- The Holy Spirit came at Pentecost

That leaves the remaining Fall Feasts, and I believe He will fulfill them.

We have the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles.

Anne Graham Lotz, Bill Graham's daughter, says she always marks her calendar with the Feast of Trumpets, because she believes the Rapture could occur at that time. It is a very interesting theory. No one knows exactly when the Feast of Trumpets comes each year, because per Jewish tradition, two witnesses must spot the new moon and then the Shofar is blown. There are a series of trumpets, and then the Last Trumpet blown during the festival.

She believes (and I agree with her), that Christ might have been alluding to this when he gave his Olivet discourse.

But, whatever His plans, I will await my Blessed Hope, and that is that I will be forever with the Lord. I'll see you then!!!
