Anyone want to try to list the 7 Feasts of Israel in chronological order….
It was a study of the 7 feasts that made a believer out of me. That was 30 years ago. The Divine Watermark upon those passages was startlingly obvious to me despite my gentile ignorance.

I think it is my turn to ask a question. So, let`s continue on the theme of Israel`s Feasts. We know the main Feasts and some still are to be fulfilled. Then there are the minor Feasts. One of those is the Feast of Purim. It is found in the book of Esther.
So, what was the reason for the Feast of Purim?
What date is it celebrated in Jerusalem?
When will it be fulfilled?

And I think that is 3 questions. Anyway, just try for 1 or 2 or 3.

Well… your answer is wrong because of these two scriptures…
“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt.24.36,Matt.24.37&version=NKJV
“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark.13.32,Mark.13.33&version=NKJV
I do believe we can know the season… year… and possibly even the month… but NEVER will we know the day and hour.

You are right for when Jesus said those words. However, Jesus has ascended to the Father and they are in one accord - equal. in unity and of the same mind. Thus, when Jesus sent His Holy Spirit He revealed more of His plans and purposes, and unfolded more of His timing.
`But concerning the times and seasons, (feasts) brethren, you have no need that I should write, for you yourselves know perfectly that the Day of the LORD so comes as a thief in the night......BUT YOU, brethren, are NOT in darkness that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are sons of light and sons of the day. We are NOT of the night nor of darkness.` (1 Thess. 5: 1 & 2 & 4 & 5)
Israel and the nations are in darkness and thus the Day of the Lord will overtake them but we, the Body of Christ are told by our Head that we are not in darkness but are of the light.
...exhorting (encouraging and warning) one another and so much the MORE as you SEE the Day (of the LORD) approaching.` (Heb. 10: 25)
We will SEE the Day coming.

The reason is celebration of the Jews delivered from their enemies.
Celebrated on the 14 & 15 of Adar.
It will be fulfilled at the end of the Day of Atonement when Jesus Christ returns as King of Kings and Lord of Lords with all His saints and the antichrist and false prophet are thrown into the lake of fire alive.

Very good try there Lafftur.
1. Right.
2. Jerusalem 15th Adar. Right.
3. Partly right. It is after Jesus returns but He has His mighty angelic army with Him, as He said He would. And God`s word actually gives the date the 15th of Adar, and that is 1,335 days after the A/C, 2 months and 15 days after Jesus returns.
That gives time for all the Jews scattered throughout the world to be brought back to Israel. (Isa. 66: 19 & 20)
Knowing that date, 15th Adar, we can place it on a Jewish calendar and then all other events fall in line. Of course, we don`t know what year that will be in our solar calendar but we can see what maybe as we SEE the Day approaching.

I do not believe anyone will know the exact day or hour but, we will definitely SEE the Day which is the appointed time approaching.
I also think we’re currently in the Feast of Trumpets…. the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ is the sounding of the shofars.
When the last shofar sounds which is the final global Holy Spirit outpouring revival and call of salvation, then the Feast of Trumpets will end with the rapture - Christ coming for His Bride.
Then the Day of Atonement for all Jews begins.

We can know the day and hour on Israel`s calendar as it is in God`s word, but we don`t know which year on the Solar calendar that will be.
Actually, the Feast of trumpets is for Israel. It is a call to repentance and a warning of what is to come. It is started by the Lord as we see Him pictorially at the golden altar about to cast fire upon the earth. That is part of the ceremony of the Day of Atonement. (Rev. 8: 3 - 6)
It heralds the 7 years of Israel final chastisement and the 6.11 months of the trib.

In Jude, the scriptures say Jesus Christ returns with His saints to execute judgment…
Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jude.1.14,Jude.1.15&version=NKJV
In Revelation 19 it describes the Lamb’s Wife as being clothed in fine linen - which is the same as His army…
Jesus Christ returns with His army but it does not say they are angels or saints, just His army clothed in fine linen.
We would need to know the Greek or Hebrew word used by John to determine if His army is saints or angels… it could be both.
Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:KING OF KINGS ANDLORD OF LORDS. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

Ok. Jude 14 in the Greek says `holy ones.` And they can be saints or angels. Thus, we need more scriptures to show which.
`they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds with power & great glory.
And He will send His angels..` (Matt.24: 30 & 31)
`When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him...` (Matt. 25: 31)
`the Son of Man comes in His glory, & in the glory of the holy angels.` (Luke 9: 26)
`when Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God,..` (2 Thess. 1: 7)
Now the army of Rev. 19: 14.
This is also the description on the angels coming out of the temple in heaven. They symbolically had garments of linen, white and clean. This is to distinguish them as holy angels and not demonic angels.
White horses - represent glory and power.

I see the Feasts of Trumpets being fulfilled by Jesus Christ sending believers out into all the world to preach the gospel which is repentance and a warning of the judgment and wrath that is coming on all people Jew and gentile.
At the last Trump the rapture happens.
Then, the 3 1/2 years of Jacob’s trouble the great tribulation begins with the Day of Atonement.
The 7 years are not consecutive. They are split 3.5 and 3.5. Jesus Christ fulfilled the first 3.5 years and the a/c will fulfill the last 3.5 years.

Good talking with you Lafftur,
Remember God does not send His wrath upon the Body of Christ. (Rev. 3: 10) The `last trump` for the Body of Christ is God`s voice, (Rev. 1: 10, 1 Thess. 4: 16)
I agree that Jacob`s troubles starts with the Day of Atonement - Jesus bringing vengeance upon the rebellious, (Deut. 32: 43) The 7 years are a whole unit, (Dan. 9: 27.
I agree that the A/C rules for 3.6 (half of 12) years, 42 months, times, time and half a time. (Dan. 12: 7, Rev. 13: 5)

The Appointed Times are all typological, symbolic, prophetic and illuminate Christ at every point.
Every nuance, every word, every ritual, everything all the time......Jesus Christ.
Nothing could be more obvious. Or more profound.
We gentiles are to look to Israel and see Jesus. Israel the nation are God's witnesses and the nation itself is a sign.
They were back in the days of Moses and David to all the nations roundabout.....and they are today just the same.
And now that they are "pre-gathered" per Ezekiel 37 dry bones prophecy, know for certain that Ezekiel 38 is soon to come to pass.
And course the rapture and tribulation. The end of the age is at the very door.
Psa 40:7
Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
Jhn 5:39
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
Luk 24:27
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

Just a reminder:

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
