I’ve read previous accounts and I think there is a good basis for thinking that this Jewish festival (Festival of the Trumpets or whatever it’s called) will be the time when something big happens (rapture, Jesus comes back, etc.). I get confused in the whole order of events, and it sounds like there are various opinions on the order.

But - to say it will be THIS YEAR or 36 years from now I would tend to say forget it. I had no idea what this was all about so I found some website. Another Christian and an astronomer. He was dissing it. He talked about how “the ten stars” or whatever that get brought into play is a big stretch no matter how people go about numbering them.

One of his comments was something like “And some youtubers say it is the 10 stars of the constellation xyz. Most of them then bring up the starchart in ACME Stars Software which shows the 10 stars. However, there are actually 12 stars in that constellation, so right there it is wrong...”

Of course I might see Jesus on Saturday - or ten minutes from now for that matter.

Back in college I knew a guy from Bible study, if he woke up during the night for any reason he would jump out of bed and look out his window in anticipation of Jesus’ return! When he first mentioned it I thought he was nuts. He later explained that he didn’t REALLY think he would see Jesus (or miss Him if he slept) - but it was more just the idea of discipline. He was using the “thief in the night” verse as motivation. He did it for a full year!
