I’m new to this site which I found searching the web for material for a book I’m starting to write called “The Chronological fulfillment of the Feasts and the Late-Trib Feast of Trumpets Rapture”. See post 74. So far the outline has 44 chapters and 12 charts.

I whole heartedly agree with the basic thesis that the Rapture will be on the Feast of Trumpets but almost nobody agrees with me about the timing of 10 days before the 2nd Advent. I find I really have to defend my case because I’m up against the prophecy Gurus and long held church tradition. I see the strict chronology of the 3(4)Fall Feasts as the missing link in Rapturology and Eschatology and the law of Moses in Systematic Theology.

In the course of my study I have come to the conclusion there are indeed 2 Raptures “taught” by scripture.

The first is clearly spelled out in 1 thes 4 and is for believers only, just 10 days before the 2nd Advent (see post 74).

The 2nd is strongly implied to occur universally at the end of the millennium, when living believers and unbelievers are taken from the earth to the Great White Throne, before the earth is burned up. God is not going to barbeque all of humanity at the end of the 1000 years but will rescue them, some to reward, some to judgement.

You are right to say most of what you have said in this summary, the Rapture will happen on the Feast of Trumpets. But you are badly mistaken in your time frame because you break the Biblical pattern.

Indeed Jesus has fulfilled the first 4 feasts literally and in chronological order just as he will the last 3 (or 4). Yet that’s not all he did because he also fulfilled the Spring Feasts IN QUICK SUCCESSION. Quick fulfillment of the feasts is the established Biblical pattern and in like manner so will the Fall Feasts be fulfilled, in just one month NOT SEVEN YEARS.

Be consistent and follow the whole pattern not just the part that harmonizes with a predetermined outline.

The true outline as taught by the Fall feasts is 1st the Rapture on the Feast of Trumpets, just 10 days latter is the 2nd Coming on the Day of Atonement followed by the Wedding Feast on the 8 day Feast of Tabernacles. A 4th feast is the Feast of Hanukkah 75 days after 2nd Advent (cf Dan 12:12).

You will find that the rest of scripture, rightly understood, agrees with this self consistent understanding. It is Satans job to change the set times and seasons, so don’t join him and add great time gaps between events, such as 7 days = 7 years or as some do 8 days = 1000 years. This only promotes false teaching amongst what is otherwise good seed.
