***You commented on an article concerning the Rapture. I thought you might find related information of interest.
I examine this subject in detail at “The Rescue of the Bride” http://october-5-2017.com
In my opinion, we do not have sufficient Biblical support to pinpoint the exact date and time of the Rapture. However, we can assign Gregorian calendar dates to certain events described in the Bible. These events allow us to know the date range within which other events, including the Rapture, must occur. We just cannot determine, with certainty, the exact date and time of the Rapture.
The Great Sign of the Woman (Revelation 12:1-2) appears on September 23, 2017 exactly at sunset in Jerusalem - exactly at the end of Rosh Ha Shanah, exactly at the time of the blowing of “the last trump.”
1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
Revelation 12:1-2
Even though our Gregorian calendars show that Rosh Ha Shanah will begin at sunset on September 20, I strongly believe that the two (2) day observance of Rosh Ha Shanah will start one day late this year, on September 21.
Rosh Ha Shanah is a two (2) day celebration. It runs Tishrei 1 and Tishrei 2 on the Hebrew calendar. However, traditionally, Tishrei 1 cannot begin unless two reliable witnesses tell the temple priests that they have seen the first sliver of the new moon.
For the year 2017, Hebcal.com shows that Tishrei 1 begins on Wednesday, September 20 at sunset. However, from the following analysis, we can determine that Tishrei 1 will not begin on September 20.
From September 20 at 5:30 UTC (new moon, 0% illuminated) to September 20 at 15:40 UTC (sunset, Jerusalem) the moon’s illumination only grows from 0.00% to 0.75%. During this time, the moon will be in conjunction with the sun. The tiny lighted sliver of moon will be washed out by the sun and hidden by blue sky. The blue mid-day sky and the brightness of the sun will make it impossible to see the moon at all.
Bottom line: There will be no witness to a new moon on September 20, 2017. Tishrei 1 will not begin on Wednesday, September 20. Instead, it will begin the following day, Thursday, September 21, 2017 at sunset.
Remember that Rosh Ha Shanah is a two (2) day celebration. This means that Rosh Ha Shanah will end two (2) days later on Saturday, September 23, 2017 at sunset. Sunset on that day is at 15:36 UTC. This will be the time when the last trumpet will be blown - the “twinkling of an eye” moment. By sunset, the moon will have moved to a position that is at or below the feet of Virgo. This will complete The Great Sign of the Woman (Revelation 12:1-2).
In my opinion, this is a likely “rescue/rapture” date***

So I see you are using Scripture, the Hebrew Calendar and the Gregorian Calendar to work out this scheme. What bothers me the most however, is to see people use Scripture as a divination tool, which is sacrilege.

If those of you who are so determined to figure out the exact day Christ will return hoping you don’t have to die or be persecuted would spend as much time “working out your Salvation with fear and trembling” as St Paul instructed as you do twisting the Bible into your own personal Crystal ball you’d be a lot better off.

Lil Flower,

You have judged a matter before you have even heard it.

I DO NOT KNOW the day or the hour of the Coming of the Son of Man, or the Rapture, or the Rescue of the Bride. I DO NOT claim to be a prophet.

My comment and my ministry have absolutely nothing to do with “the exact day Christ will return.” I make that perfectly clear as part of “The Rescue of the Bride” article at http://october-5-2017.com#theDayAndTheHour

Check it out and then see if your comment to me is still warranted.
