So you claim it’s one of the regular feast days? Like they know when those feast days are each year because they are prescribed by God’s law? And you also say that the last trump is on one of those feast days at the end of the tribulation? WELL! Let’s look at that theory.

We know the great tribulation will be three years so once the antichrist has been revealed we know it will be precisely 1260 days till the Lords coming.

Revelation 13:5 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him * to continue forty and two months. You also claim that “The span between the first resurrection and Yeshua’s bodily return to Earth will exactly match the span from Trumpets to Tabernacles” which is a known span of time. In other words we can know precisely the time of Jesus return since all the feast days are known and the time from the revealing of the antichrist to Christ’s return is known per Revelation 13 and other passages. Am I getting this right so far?

Yet in Matthew 24 we are told that no one knows, not even the son but the Father only.

Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

And you claim I have “strange theology”?

Those on earth will be able to know when the return of Christ will be at the end of the tribulation but no one knows the “day or the hour” of the rapture.

It’s also interesting that you claim that the “3.5 year tribulation is not the wrath of Yehova” yet scripture tells us that it is.

Revelation 16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

>>He will carry us through all of it, just as he carried Noah through the flood.<<

Don’t know where you got that idea but it’s not in scripture. The only group protected by God during the tribulation are the 144,000 Jews, twelve thousand from each of the 12 tribes. The “bride of Christ” spends the those seven years with Christ in heaven just as the Jewish newly weds are sequestered for seven days prior to their public appearance together.

You need to do more broad Bible reading, not just a few select verses.

The very purpose of the feast days is so that we can be aware of the events of the kingdom in season. They are the reason why Paul told the thessalonians that they would NOT be in the dark as to his return.

You seem to be saying that you expect to be a part of the first resurrection, yet also be down here on Earth awaiting his triumphal return? That makes no sense at all.

Also you weigh Matthew 24:36 above 1 Thessalonians 5:1-4?

Get the Breslau or English Hebrew Matthew and read it as it was told by Matthew, rather than a 3rd hand Greek translation, and see what Yeshua really was saying.

His feasts are not without purpose, or we would not be commanded to participate.

The timing of the feast of trumpets was not precisely guaranteed at the time that Matthew was written, so it was essentially a correct statement, but now it can be predicted, unless something perturbs Earth’s orbital dynamics just before that day, but only his own even care.

After the resurrection, those left on Earth will not likely be looking for Yeshua’s return, so the timing of the feasts will be nothing to them.

>> It’s also interesting that you claim that the “3.5 year tribulation is not the wrath of Yehova” yet scripture tells us that it is. <<

You gotta give us a scripture for that one! His wrath comes at the end of the trib, at the battle.

Finally, The “Bride of Yeshua” will not spend any 7 years in heaven; there is nothing in scripture that is even faintly close to supporting that idea. A few weeks is all that could be made of it.
