So for the longest time I believed in an imminent rapture, that Jesus could come for his bride at any time any second of any day. But then I learned about the feast days and their meanings and am starting to think I was wrong about an imminent rapture. If we look into the bible God has great importance on the feast days which when translated in hebrew is appointed times. This is proven true because Jesus in his ministry fulfilled each spring feast day to the dot, the only ones that are left are the fall ones which is Feast of trumpets, day of atonement and sukkot. Its no coincidence that the feast of trumpets is a feast day of a wedding and is the only feast day in regards to no one knows the day or hour as Jesus quoted.

in regards to why no man knows the day or hour for this feast day here is some info

“No Man Knows the Day of the Hour”
The 3 Fall Festivals start on the first day signified by the new moon in the 7th Month of Tishrei.
This is the only Holy Day marked by the New Moon and is set apart for that reason as special.
Al other festivals are set or counted by the full moon so The Spirit of GOD is pointing to this
festival as a certain day! (Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, and even Pentecost are
counted from the Full Moon in Nissan!)
God Counts Prophetic Time in the Bible on a Jewish Calendar!
A new moon is called “rosh chodesh” in Hebrew. New Moons must be validated in Israel by 2
witnesses who will watch the dark black sky at the end of the moon cycle for the first glimmer of
the moon to reappear. This is the beginning of the 30 day cycle which determines Israel’s
months. (Moon is the word from which we get months). As soon as the new moon is sighted and
verified (2 witnesses) the Sanhedrin, or the High Priest will send runners with signal lights
rapidly to the east and to the west “like lightning.”
“The Lightning from the East to the West” is a Hebrew idiom for the Feast of Trumpets.


So if all this is true and God really is going to fulfill his feast days then not only was I wrong for seeking an imminent rapture but I wasted a lot of time wanting confirmation that its very soon. I mean it all seems to makes sense and fit into place so on the up side I can save myself a lot of heartache that the rapture hasnt happened yet lol. So if the rapture doesnt happen in the next few days then it stands to reason it wont happen at least until next year this time if even then as he might not come that year either.

Well....I began to reject the imminent return in 1992 after studying through 1st and 2nd Thessalonians....After 25 years of intensive study and a 212 page book on the subject I stand on a post tribulation/pre-wrath resurrection/change at the 7th trump of Revelation........!

There is only 1 body presence of Christ...was...is and is to come...all things must jive with one coming and there are things that must be fulfilled before Jesus will come...such as the MAN of SIN being revealed, sun, moon and stars going dark etc. etc...........!
