Do you notice how this has been a gradual process, slowly introducing censorship, making it seemingly reasonable at first. If the churches and all the Christians had deplatformed the first time they were censored for speaking the word of God and the name of Jesus these platforms would have collapsed and the ability to censor people would have flopped. But because they have complied with the spirit of Antichrist rather than the Lord Jesus and the word of God, now you will see the entire internet worldwide censored. You walked into the slaughterhouse.

Agenda 2030
I heard a message this morning that was "idiotic". I was going to post it and rebut it but would have been tempted to call him an idiot and I want to avoid that.
So, instead I'll discuss two of his points (I couldn't listen anymore after the second point).
1. Is it reasonable and logical that Satan who knows Bible prophecy would create Agenda 2030 to end on the year he is thrown into prison?
This supposes that we have two chess grandmasters going at it, Jesus vs Satan. The second point is exactly like this one
2. God and Satan have two very different goals and agendas, why would they align perfectly?
These two points are idiotic. God is the creator, Satan is a created being, created by God to do His will. For example, would a master chef and the oven have two different agendas? God is the chef, Satan is the agenda.
There are not two chess grandmasters, if you think that then you have been deceived by Satan. He is not on the same level as Jesus and everything He is doing is simply God's will. They didn't want to crucify Jesus at the feast, but they did. It isn't up to them. God watches over His word to make sure it is fulfilled. He says the 70th week will begin when Antichrist confirms the covenant with the many for seven years. It doesn't matter if Satan wants to do that or not. Satan is motivated by misery and misery loves company. That is what he is doing. He'll do whatever he does not because he has a plan but because that is the only chance he has to drag more people to hell with him. Also, if he could start sooner he would, but he can't as long as the restrainer is here.
One really big problem with this teacher is he doesn't appreciate how massive a "Black Swan" event the rapture will be. Satan appreciates it. After the rapture it will be much easier and simpler to implement the mark of the beast.

Romans 8:1-30 -- Where did Mardi Gras come from?
The Gift of Christ Jesus
1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
It is fascinating to me that there are two distinct variations here, those that live according to the flesh and those who live according to the Spirit. This is evident in the celebration of Christmas for Christians versus the celebration of Xmas for non Christians. We have seen the “battle to put Christ back into Christmas”. This festival reveals those who have the mind of the spirit versus those who have the mind of the flesh. It becomes even more stark with the celebration of Lent and Mardi Gras in places like New Orleans.
5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.
Once again, there are those whose mind is on the flesh. You have Christmas parties, gifts, and all kinds of ads to get you to buy stuff you don’t need. On the other hand you have beautiful Christmas plays and pageants, beautiful hymns of praise, candle light services and many other examples of those who are celebrating with the mind set on the Spirit. In this festival you are in the Spirit and Spirit is in you. Likewise with Lent and believers fasting for the Lord compared with the flesh pot of a celebration known as Mardi Gras.
9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. 12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.
This holiday comes with an obligation. I am against the commercial aspects and worldly aspects of this holiday. Yet even so there is an obligation on you because your children will not understand and will think that being a Christian means you are stingy and cheap. I find it interesting that “Santa” is merely a rearrangement of the word “Satan”. The story is a lie and they try to force parents to lie to their children and then have children equate this lie with the Bible. It is an evil poison designed to inoculate young children from believing and receiving the gospel. However, according to the Spirit there is an obligation to treat others with love and charity during this time. We even call it “the Christmas spirit”. The same is true of Mardi Gras, somehow many believe it is part of the worship of the Lord to have this fleshly sinful party each year just like that depicted in the Bible when Israel worshipped the Golden calf.
The adoption to sonship = rapture of the overcomers
14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God Are the children of God. 15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
Christmas is a holiday for children. My parents really went all out, I would be up at the crack of dawn and sure enough something had happened from the night before. New gifts were there and the stockings were filled. Those gifts testified that you were children of your parents and heirs. The rapture is a testimony that all who are raptured are children of God and co heirs with God. This term “adoption” refers to a legal declaration that you are heir to the father’s business. This is a big deal in families where a father has a great business. Some children of the father may find themselves disqualified from being heirs, that is sad, but it happens. At the rapture some will be left behind, they will get a second chance but it will still be sad. As it says in Amos if you are not raptured on that day it will be a bitter day for you. Your singing will turn to mourning.
The idea of Santa in the middle of the night coming down chimneys and giving gifts is the photographic negative of Jesus Christ rapturing all the overcomers who are likened to a treasure and the rapture to the Lord coming as a thief (by coming down the chimney?). In the world those the world despises will very often turn out to be the ones the Lord treasures. The “Cinderella” that does all the work so the evil sisters can go to all the balls. Imagine waking up on this Christmas day and instead of finding gifts under your tree you find all those who were doing all the work have been taken.
18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.
Christmas is all about wearing brand new Christmas clothes. There is a glorious celebration and children wait in eager expectation for this day. In the rapture we are “liberated from the bondage of decay”. He doesn’t just say “believers” but rather “creation”. What about our pets? If you were raptured what would happen to your dog or cat? Creation is waiting eagerly because they all will be liberated from decay.
22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
This is the hope of the gospel. The rapture is likened to the birth of the manchild. Once again Paul is talking about the hope that we wait for patiently, just like we had to wait each year for Christmas.
Pray for what we ought versus the “letter to Santa”.
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
Another part of this religious festival is that kids are to write a letter to Santa praying for things they want. This can be fleshly or it can be spiritual with the Spirit interceding for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
These are the things we need. We need to be conformed to the image of His Son, we need to know the firstborn Son of God and we need to be born again to be the children of God. We need to be called, we need to be justified, and after all that we need to be glorified. Again, the rapture is the glorification of those who have been born again, called and justified.

the end of the times of the nations is here.
The US is systemically broken. This internet censorship of US based internet platforms because people in Europe might see them proves that the end of the nation state is here. The pandemic introduced a worldwide shutdown that violated nation's rule over their own nation. These are all signs that the end of the times of the nations is here.

Out of your innermost being shall flow rivers of living water.
Imagine that you are a water pipe and when you get saved you get connected to the aquifer. You enjoy the Lord and you want to speak. But then when you do speak you get embarrassed because it "comes out wrong". This "water pipe" might be filled with rats, snakes, spiders and other insects. When the water starts coming up these things will come out first. If that happens you are getting cleansed. You are a vessel for the Lord's use and He is cleansing you first. Confess, repent and plead the blood of Jesus, but don't stop speaking. Soon water will be gushing out.

Comparing the Feast of Trumpets with all the other feasts for the Rapture
Passover is a great picture of the resurrection. Pentecost is a great picture of the start of the church life, Shavuot is a great picture of Jesus Ascension.
But here is what all those feasts miss
which Feast of Trumpets has. The rapture is not just about the church, it is also about the judgement on the apostate church and it is a major warning to backslidden Christians and sinners that the great day of the Lord is here. The Feast of Trumpets is when the book of life is opened and the book of the dead is opened and the book of sinners is opened. It isn't just about Christians being raptured, it is also about judgement coming and a warning to prepare to meet your God.
Also, the one thing all those feasts don't have which Feast of Trumpets does have is God's judgment. The trumpets are telling you that the king is coming and to prepare for God's judgement. This is what the seven years of the 70th week is all about, it is telling people to repent of sins, it is giving them a foretaste of hell to encourage them to repent of sins. The seven years can be seen as the last seven days before the day of atonement.
Now let's consider the ten days, why are there seven years for the 70th week, a period we call the tribulation, if the feast of trumpets is ten days before day of atonement? Well, let's just suppose that the Feast of Trumpets was September of 2020, the year of the pandemic. This was when witnesses around the world began warning the earth that the day of judgement was at hand and to repent and prepare to meet your God. This was the year of the shutdown due to the pandemic, a sabbath for us to fast and pray. However, seven days before the day of atonement the priests are removed from their family and taken to the temple chambers so that he does not become defiled accidentally. Doesn't that sound like the rapture where the saints are taken to a chamber to wait for the indignation to pass?
Have you ever wondered why the saints are raptured at this time? According to the law they are to study the procedure for the day of Atonement. The day prior to the day of atonement he is to afflict his soul and not sleep. There are 40 ritual tasks to be completed on the day of Atonement.
This is the only feast where you are removed seven days prior to the chamber, similar to the days of Noah where he entered the ark seven days before the flood.
So to me the big problem with all the other feasts is they don't take into account the whole picture. Yes, you can see resurrection, ascension, and the bride of Christ. But what about the apostate church, what about the foolish virgins, what about slothful servants, what about unbelievers, what about Satan and all those who worship the beast? All of that is seen in the seven year tribulation and we shouldn't think that the rapture is not part of this overall picture.
You blow the trumpet 100 times on the Feast of Trumpets and since you must see the new moon first it might actually be on the second day. Therefore you can assume that the last trumpet is blown at the end of either the first or second day. The priests are removed seven days before, that would be right at twilight on the third day. This would indicate that the dead are raised for hours, maybe even a whole day before they are caught up. The same thing happened when Jesus rose from the dead, it says the graves were opened and they were seen walking in Jerusalem. This could also explain Ken Peters seeing the graves opened but not seeing any "rapture" he only saw that they had disappeared.
None of the other feasts had "the last trumpet". The only one that was close was Shavuot.
In conclusion, the rapture is a judgement, it is a judgement on those who are taken and on those who are not taken. It is also a judgement on the many who will die. You don't see that in any of the other feasts. This is the only feast where you are removed to a chamber seven days beforehand. This is the only feast that announces the coming of the king and the great day of His judgement. It is the only feast that fits with "the end of the times of the nations" because you would think that the times of the nations would end at their birthday on Rosh Hashanah (Feast of Trumpets). It is the only feast that corresponds with the start of the 70th week as you would expect that to be on the first day of the year and it is the only feast that corresponds with David reigning in Hebron for 7 1/2 years because 7 1/2 years later you come to the first of Nisan which is the "first month of the year for the Jews".
Passover is a great picture of the resurrection. Pentecost is a great picture of the start of the church life, Shavuot is a great picture of Jesus Ascension.
But here is what all those feasts miss
which Feast of Trumpets has. The rapture is not just about the church, it is also about the judgement on the apostate church and it is a major warning to backslidden Christians and sinners that the great day of the Lord is here. The Feast of Trumpets is when the book of life is opened and the book of the dead is opened and the book of sinners is opened. It isn't just about Christians being raptured, it is also about judgement coming and a warning to prepare to meet your God.
Also, the one thing all those feasts don't have which Feast of Trumpets does have is God's judgment. The trumpets are telling you that the king is coming and to prepare for God's judgement. This is what the seven years of the 70th week is all about, it is telling people to repent of sins, it is giving them a foretaste of hell to encourage them to repent of sins. The seven years can be seen as the last seven days before the day of atonement.
Now let's consider the ten days, why are there seven years for the 70th week, a period we call the tribulation, if the feast of trumpets is ten days before day of atonement? Well, let's just suppose that the Feast of Trumpets was September of 2020, the year of the pandemic. This was when witnesses around the world began warning the earth that the day of judgement was at hand and to repent and prepare to meet your God. This was the year of the shutdown due to the pandemic, a sabbath for us to fast and pray. However, seven days before the day of atonement the priests are removed from their family and taken to the temple chambers so that he does not become defiled accidentally. Doesn't that sound like the rapture where the saints are taken to a chamber to wait for the indignation to pass?
Have you ever wondered why the saints are raptured at this time? According to the law they are to study the procedure for the day of Atonement. The day prior to the day of atonement he is to afflict his soul and not sleep. There are 40 ritual tasks to be completed on the day of Atonement.
This is the only feast where you are removed seven days prior to the chamber, similar to the days of Noah where he entered the ark seven days before the flood.
So to me the big problem with all the other feasts is they don't take into account the whole picture. Yes, you can see resurrection, ascension, and the bride of Christ. But what about the apostate church, what about the foolish virgins, what about slothful servants, what about unbelievers, what about Satan and all those who worship the beast? All of that is seen in the seven year tribulation and we shouldn't think that the rapture is not part of this overall picture.
You blow the trumpet 100 times on the Feast of Trumpets and since you must see the new moon first it might actually be on the second day. Therefore you can assume that the last trumpet is blown at the end of either the first or second day. The priests are removed seven days before, that would be right at twilight on the third day. This would indicate that the dead are raised for hours, maybe even a whole day before they are caught up. The same thing happened when Jesus rose from the dead, it says the graves were opened and they were seen walking in Jerusalem. This could also explain Ken Peters seeing the graves opened but not seeing any "rapture" he only saw that they had disappeared.
None of the other feasts had "the last trumpet". The only one that was close was Shavuot.
In conclusion, the rapture is a judgement, it is a judgement on those who are taken and on those who are not taken. It is also a judgement on the many who will die. You don't see that in any of the other feasts. This is the only feast where you are removed to a chamber seven days beforehand. This is the only feast that announces the coming of the king and the great day of His judgement. It is the only feast that fits with "the end of the times of the nations" because you would think that the times of the nations would end at their birthday on Rosh Hashanah (Feast of Trumpets). It is the only feast that corresponds with the start of the 70th week as you would expect that to be on the first day of the year and it is the only feast that corresponds with David reigning in Hebron for 7 1/2 years because 7 1/2 years later you come to the first of Nisan which is the "first month of the year for the Jews".
He gives you a great presentation on how they are using this technology to destroy our world and there is a purpose to it. If you can convince the world that climate change is a dire threat to humanities survival they will go along with 15 minute concentration camps, they will eat bugs and stop driving cars and get the mark of the beast. After the pandemic we know they can convince them that those who refuse the mark are a threat to their very lives.
I think this is conclusive evidence that Agenda 2030 is the covenant that will bring the Antichrist to power.

How to read prophecy
Suppose I gave you a list of the dates of every major event that were to take place over the next two thousand years. Imagine they find in some clay pot in a cave in the middle east a long list of dates that include every major historical event of the last two thousand years. What would be the point? When you read a date you have no idea about what it means, where it will be or what you should do. All you know is that something significant happens on that day. That is not how the prophecy in the Bible works but that is what many in the world think.
Suppose you had prophecies telling you all about what was going to happen in 2023, and what you should do. What good would that be for someone in 1023? That also is not how prophecy works. The Bible is living and operative and every word is good for food regardless of whether it is the first century of the church age or the twentieth. This also is not how prophecy works.
Let us look at some prophecies:
1. He will crush the head of the serpent and the serpent will bite his heel.
This tells us a lot about what is going on for the entire six thousand years of human history. You can apply this to the crucifixion, or to David slaying Goliath, or to Paul's ministry, or to the Antichrist. This prophecy is eye salve to see what is going on.
2. “Rejoice greatly, O people of Zion! Shout in triumph, O people of Jerusalem! Look, your king is coming to you. He is righteous and victorious, yet he is humble, riding on a donkey – even on a donkey’s colt.” (Zechariah 9:9)
This tells us that our Messiah is the king, He is coming to us, He is righteous, He is victorious, and He is humble. Again, eye salve to help us see who the Lord is. If you were there when He rode into Jerusalem you would recognize Him, but also, if it were 2020 and you saw some teleevangelist fly in on a private plane, get into a luxury car and live in a mansion you would also find it useful to realize this is not who we are looking for.
3. "He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not." (Isaiah 53:3)
Again, eye salve. You might think that you have found a really profitable ministry but since the brother is despised by all the experts you would have a question. This helps you realize that being despised and not esteemed by the established religious leaders is not something that should be seen as a red flag.
From these three examples a prophetic word from the Lord is "eye salve", it helps us see. It may help you see Jesus, it may help you see phony messiahs. Also, it is not time dependent. All generations can profit from these words.
4. "He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth." (Isaiah 53:7)
This highlights something we might not have otherwise noticed. Why mention that He was silent, why mention that He was led like a lamb to the slaughter? For one, it helps teach us how to react and respond. For another it helps us see that Jesus is the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.
5. "I can count all my bones; people stare and gloat over me. They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing." (Psalm 22:17-18)
Again, this prophecy is not so much to help us recognize Jesus, but rather to recognize that we are going through something that is like the cross of Christ. On the one hand it really helps us confirm that Jesus is the Messiah but on the other hand it is beneficial to every single disciple of Jesus for the last two thousand years.
6. “They must not leave any of the lamb until the next morning, and they must not break any of its bones. They must follow all the normal regulations concerning the Passover.” (Numbers 9:12)
Here we see that Jesus is the lamb of God. We see that the crucifixion was the fulfillment of the Passover feast. When this prophecy is fulfilled it opens our eyes to the Bible, it is like Paul saying that the mystery hidden from the ages was opened. I imagine that when Jews like Paul came to the Lord it revolutionized their whole view and understanding of the Bible.
7. “But He was wounded and crushed for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace. He was whipped, and we were healed! All of us have strayed away like sheep. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on Him the guilt and sins of us all. From prison and trial they led Him away to His death. But who among the people realized that He was dying for their sins – that He was suffering their punishment? I will give Him the honors of One who is mighty and great, because He exposed Himself to death. He was counted among those who were sinners. He bore the sins of many and interceded for sinners.” (Isaiah 53:5-6, 8, 12)
Prophecy will flip our understanding. Religion is famous for teaching people to save themselves through good works. The Jews were led astray thinking that keeping the law would save them. What they missed was they needed a sin offering that would thoroughly cleanse them from sins.
The prophecies are promises concerning resurrection from the dead, concerning the establishment of the kingdom, of how the Lord brings in the kingdom and how we can follow the Lord.

Making a case for three days after the Feast of Trumpets
1. The Fall Feasts appear to be those that take place at the end of church age. Jesus was the grain of wheat, He was planted at the time of crucifixion, at the beginning of this age, and then at the end of the harvest season we have the harvest. The book of Revelation is clearly all about the harvest. You have the first fruit, the harvest and the gleanings. You have the command to the angels to reap.
2. A big problem with those focused on the rapture is ignoring everything else. So let’s look at the other pieces to the puzzle.
A. The Lord tells the foolish virgins to go and buy oil from those that sell. That sounds like the two witnesses who are called the two olive trees. The feast of new oil is at the same time as the Feast of Trumpets. This does seem like the appropriate time for their ministry to begin.
B. Jesus began His ministry on the Day of Atonement, since the Antichrist is a counterfeit Christ it seems like the best time for the Antichrist to confirm the covenant with the many for seven years.
C. The Feast of Trumpets announces the coming of the King, it seems to me that nothing announces the Lord’s second coming with more power than the rapture of the church.
D. The seventieth week for Israel and the tribulation for the world is all about God’s judgement. The rapture is a judgement just as much as being condemned to hell is a judgement. All judgements take place on the Day of Atonement.
3. Another big problem many have had is working out the numbers. The three big numbers are these:
A. Noah enters the ark seven days before the flood. The feast of Trumpets is the only feast where we see something similar. The priest enters the special chamber in the Temple seven days before the day of Atonement.
B. David reigned in Hebron for 7 1/2 years before entering Jerusalem. This feast is a half year away from Passover, the ideal time for the Lord to step down in glory in Jerusalem.
C. According to Ken Peters there were “about two weeks” of “darkness” or a period where the internet, TV and radio were all down. That time period does not work with any other feast, but with this one it would take you to the Feast of Tabernacles, which is when the Israelites lived in booths to remind them of when they lived in tents. I suspect that after the rapture many believers will have to flee in tents.
4. This Feast is the only feast that answers a very big question that no one has previously answered. Why are you rapturing the church before the tribulation? If these are the ones who are one with the Holy Spirit, the restrainer, why would you take them off the earth when they are needed most? The answer is that the priest is taken to the chamber in the Temple a week before the Day of Atonement so he can prepare for the 40 different jobs he must do and so that he is not defiled. A lot of people will die during the tribulation and so if the believers were left behind many would be defiled by that death.
5. Only this feast and Shavuot could talk about “the last trumpet”, but Shavuot is a very poor picture of the rapture compared to this.
Why were the watchmen wrong repeatedly in the last six years.
This is an excellent question. When the watchmen saw the Revelation 12 sign in 2017 they believed it was a sign that the Lord was returning and that the man child would be caught up to heaven. However, we have just discovered in the last few weeks that although the 2017 sign was truly remarkable and truly pointed to the Revelation sign, the sign we are seeing this Feast of Trumpets is far more precise in depicting the Revelation 12 sign. We now think the Revelation 12 sign of 2017 was there to wake up the watchmen, which it did and to signal that Trump was about to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. It has been six years since that sign and this Feast of Trumpets starts the 7th year, the year of rest. Now we have a far more precise sign that matches the Revelation 12 sign.
Second, most of the Watchmen were examining the feast days, and that is according to Colossians chapter 2 where Paul says they are a shadow of things to come. Although they recognized that the first few feasts had been fulfilled they felt convinced based on the Old Testament prophecies that they should be looking for an appointed Feast day and that is what they did. They embraced the idea that we don’t know the day or the hour and therefore let’s look at each feast as though this is the one. This process has allowed us to slowly see that each of those feasts lacked something. However, it also helped us to discover that Ascension was on Shavuot and Pentecost was fifty days later on Feast of new wine.
Much of the revelation that we have had over the last six years was not appropriate for previous generations. The idea of an imminent rapture is far more beneficial to those in the apostolic age than to say “relax, we have 2,000 years”. Therefore much of what we have discovered is very new revelation in the word of God. It takes time to dig out these revelations. So instead of “wrong” I would say that the watchmen were discovering new revelation on a monthly, weekly and even daily cycle.
I would also point out that every great Bible teacher on eschatology is wrong and has been wrong. The one thing that has become very clear to me is to not hold onto any pet doctrines. You need to know the Bible verses that the doctrines are based on and be willing to adjust those doctrines as they appear to be invalid. I was raised on Watchman Nee and JN Darby eschatology and I have found numerous things they taught that I have had to let go of.
Let’s suppose “No one knows the day or hour” does refer to the Feast of Trumpets, what then?
1. The dead in Christ will rise at the last trumpet, that will be at the very end of the Feast of Trumpets which may be the end of the second day.
2. The rapture will take place at the end of the third day, which means that the dead who have risen will walk about the city just as they did at the time of Jesus resurrection.
Both of these would be Jerusalem time.
3. The two witnesses will begin their ministry at this time.
4. At the same time Agenda 2030 is being confirmed in the UN, that would be the seven year covenant that Daniel mentions. Antichrist is a counterfeit Christ and since Jesus began His ministry at this time it makes sense for the Antichrist to do the same.
5. We will have a stock market collapse on the 29th of Elul, the 15th of September.
6. There will be a great earthquake, it may be the eruption of the Yosemite super volcano which will darken a third of the sun and moon and utterly destroy the US as a global power. This will probably be the end of the third day (sunset in Jerusalem on the 18th).
7. This also means that 2021 was when the Feast of Trumpets was officially “sighted”. This is often a two day event so you could argue for 2020 (the year of the pandemic) through 2021 the year of the vaccine mandates.
This is not a “prophecy”. No one is claiming “thus saith the Lord”. This is an interpretation of the word of God and there are seven relatively clear consequences if this is true. I am simply trying to put the pieces of this jigsaw puzzle together.
Also the dates are a little fuzzy, for example, the 21st is supposed to be international day of peace when they are declaring peace and security, so that should be the day of sudden destruction that is mentioned in Thessalonians. There are many calendars and no one is truly sure of when Feast of Trumpets begins. It used to be that the moon was in sync with the years but the sun stood still for a day and went back on the sun dial on another day and those two events have changed the clock so that the moon is no longer perfectly aligned with the year. Some go with the equinox, some go with the equilux, some still hold to the new moon.
