It’s easy to dismiss out of hand, but have you looked into the fact that the first four Jewish feast days were fulfilled? In fact the Passover was fulfilled by Christ to the very hour — 3:00pm
Have you looked into that phrase “no man knoweth the day nor the hour” and seen that this was a common idiom for the next scheduled feast day, Yom Teruah?
Did you know that the “Last Trump” spoken of by Paul is the 100th trumpet blast of Yom Teruah?
Paul refers to the twinkling of an eye, did you know that this was also a Hebraism?
>>>But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.
I absolutely understand all the Feast Days and how they were either accomplished by Christ at His first advent or will in the second one. HOWEVER, He absolutely makes it CLEAR that NO MAN knows the day. No one. So, I take that that it will as He said, “He will come as a thief in the night.” Which to mean means that He will come when no one is ready for Him to come. We are to recognize the signs of the times, because that is what He bashed the Pharisees for, for not recognizing His first coming. But, BECAUSE “MEN” are making such a big thing about the 23d, that makes me fully believe that He will not come that day. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t mind it at all because I look for Him daily, as the Harpazo is an eminent event. No one knows. I believe we are in the season of His return. I also believe it is near. A month, year, years away, but I believe it is near. I also believe the Antichrist is alive on this planet today. Maybe not a mature grown man, but alive. Is he 5, 15, 20 years old or older or what, I do not know. I just believe with all that is going on, the signs of the times, the Middle East, Israel, Iran, etc., I just believe it is near. I just hope I am alive to live it. But, if not, I am in the first group to go up!!!!!!
