God has given the `Times and Seasons` for us to know when it is His Appointed Time for the Rapture for the Body of Christ.
The Festival Season of Lights is fulfilled when the Lord returns to deliver Israel. That event is right in the middle of Israel`s 8 day festival – 29th Kislev.
Then the Feast of Purim is fulfilled when the Lord has overcome Israel`s enemies and they celebrate their National Deliverance – 15th Adar.
In between those two dates is the end of the 7 years – 29th Tevet.
If the 7 years starts in 2025 then when we count back 7 years from the 29th of Tevet and we come to the 12th of Adar. That is the 12th of March in our Solar Calendar. (see chart at the end of the book for Israel`s Lunar (moon) Calendar and our Solar (sun) Calendar.)
Knowing the seasons has helped us to gain an insight into when the 7 years start, and the Peace treaty will occur. If it is next year, 2025 then it will be 12th March.
Is there something more in God`s word to help us?
Yes, the prophet Joel`s prophecy which is very important. We read –
`Blow a trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm on my holy mountain! Let the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the Day of the LORD is coming, for it is at hand.
A Day of darkness and gloominess, a Day of clouds and thick darkness, like the morning clouds spread over the mountains, a people come, great and strong, the like of whom has never been; nor will there ever be any such after them, even for many successive generations.` (Joel 2: 1 & 2)
It will take many days even weeks for this great army to gather, so huge is it. The media will be following its build up and journey towards Israel. This is our time to get ready to be caught away to be with the Lord.
May we all `watch` and be ready!

The Day of the Lord – Festival Seasons.
During the Day of the LORD God will fulfill His festival seasons. We will look at two Festivals that have dates to help us with God`s Appointed Time of the Rapture.
The Festival of Lights, (Hanukkah).
The Jews celebrate the expulsion of their enemies and were to light a new candle for each of eight days. However, at the time they only had one day`s worth of consecrated oil but it burnt for eight full days, the time required to consecrate more oil. Thus, Israel commemorates the miracle of the Temple`s holy candelabrum.
It is celebrated on the 25th of Kislev through to the 2nd of Tevet, 8 days. It was at this Feast that the Jews wanted to know if Jesus was the Messiah. (John 10: 22 – 24)
When Jesus returns to deliver Israel, it will be at this time, for He is the Light of the world, the One represented by the center of the holy candelabrum.
Israel`s National Deliverance Celebration. (Purim)
This Feast celebrates the failure of Haman`s plot to destroy the Jews. It is a time of feasting and joy when the people celebrate the deliverance of the Jews from death through the bravery of the Jewish Queen Esther.
`And Mordecai wrote these things and sent letters to all the Jews, near and far, who were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, to establish among them that they should celebrate yearly the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar….
When Esther came before the king, he commanded by letter that this wicked plot which Haman had devised against the Jews should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
So they called these days Purim, after the name Pur, (to cast a lot). (Esther 9: 20 & 21, 25 & 26)
This Feast of Purim is celebrated in Jerusalem on Adar the 15th each year, commemorating their National Deliverance.
The fulfillment of this Feast will be after the Lord has delivered Israel from their enemies. Jews from all over the world will be brought back to Israel and there they will celebrate this wonderful fulfillment of the Feast of Purim. (Isa. 66: 20)

Thank you Omegatime for taking the time to study my charts. They are actually a part of my blogs which went into more deatil. (Worthy Christian Forums - Marilyn`s Messages)
So the year 2025. Well, I looked into Israel`s Festivals and noticed that Ether`s Adar 15 fitted with Israel`s National Celebrations. These I believe will be fulfilled AFTER the Lord comes and delivers Israel from all their enemies. Dan. 12: 12 reveals that 1,335 days from A/C is blessed for those who reach it. I just put that on the chart and then worked backwards. I also looked up Israel`s Lunar years, which I will post here and just counted the 7 years back from the Temple being cleansed.

How I came up for year 2025 to start the Tribulation
Lord born 5 BC
Remember there is no 0 year in the BC & AD calendars
Add 33 years ====== year 29 AD for crucifixion
Peter spoke on Pentecost 29 AD
New Covenant begins and the church begins in ear 29 AD
29 AD plus 2000 years ===== year 2029 timing of resurrection/rapture
Tribulation continues for another 1185 days ending in year 2032
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Malachi 4:2 2 But for you who fear my name the Sun of righteousness shall rise,
Jesus arose exactly on time at the end of the 3999th year from creation for the SUN was made on the fourth day of creation
Tribulation begins on Feast Trumpets in year 2025 with the resurrection / rapture being 1335 days later in year 2029 on Pentecost
How can I be so sure, because the Lord gave us something we couldn't miss.
From the Feast of Trumpets on Sept 23 2025 to Pentecost on May 20, 2029 is exactly 1335 days to the Blessed Day Dan.12:12
And only these years will bring the desired dates.

No he has not. THIS CONTRADICTS WHAT CHRIST SAID ABOUT THE TIMING OF THE RAPTURE. Do I need to quote those verses?
And Omegatime has fallen into the same trap of date-setting. Will people ever learn? The Millerites set a date for the Second Coming of Christ, and when that did not happen, they changed their doctrines. So when these date come and nothing happens (or the Rapture occurs at another date ahead of these predictions) what are you going to do?

I used to think that, but that is assuming that every major feast is fulfilled when Israel celebrates them. I believe the feast of trumpets is the 7 trumpets of Israel`s final 7 years, and the Day of Atonement is the Lord delivering Israel from their enemies. (Rev. 8 pictures the Lord on the Day of Atonement as the High Priest at the Golden Altar before he goes into the Holy of Holies. This is symbolic for what he has done and will also for Israel in real time. (Rev. 15: 5 - 8)
This thought is often quoted when speaking of the Lord`s return –
`the Lord will come as a thief in the night.`
`Behold, I am coming as a thief…` (Rev. 16; 15)
`…the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.` (1 Thess. 5: 2)
`Watch, therefore, for you know neither the day nor hour in which the Son of Man is coming.` (Matt. 25: 13)
However, this is not true for us. The Lord said to Israel He would come as a thief because they were in darkness. But when the Lord ascended to His Father, He sent the Holy Spirit to His believers and encouraged them that they were now not in darkness.
`But you, brethren, are not in darkness that this day should overtake you as a thief. You are sons of the light and sons of the day. ` (1 Thess. 5: 4 & 5)
And further that they would actually `see` the Day of the Lord approaching.
`Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the day approaching. ` (Heb. 10: 25)
In a general sense we know that things in the world are pointing to the Lord`s return – lawlessness, moral decay, wars and rumors of wars, more earthquakes, famines, diseases and people generally very fearful. Then there is the looming control of governments with individual ID`s (Identity) connecting to the CBDC, (Central Bank Digital Currency). This, especially in a chip in the body will enable governments to either authorize or not our buying and selling.
However, God`s word specifically says we will `see,` the day approaching. This is what we are going to look into. What will we see?

2 Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling to meet him, we beg you, brethren, 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or excited, either by spirit or by word, or by letter purporting to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3 Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness[a] is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God
Is not the Day of the Lord we seek????? Why Peter called it the Great and Glorious Day of the Lord on Pentecost!
Since we know the Day of the Lord cannot come till after the antichrist takes his seat in the temple of God and, we also know that is also 1260 days into the Tribulation

The day of the lord ends this creation
“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
….Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.”
2 Peter 3:10-13
“For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”
1 Thessalonians 5:2-3 KJ
Do you notice how this is creating an image in our minds of the heaven and earth ending in a blaze of fire when the lord comes but promises a new world ?
He’s been saying that a very long time 700 years before jesus came to earth
“The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate:
…. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.”
Isaiah 24:5-6, 20-21 KJV
The day of the lord is a consistent theme referencing the second coming of Christ
“and to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;”
2 Thessalonians 1:7-9 KJV
That fire they are talking about comes when the lord returns from heaven to judge all people
“the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:”
“the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
The tribulation was about the desolation of Israel and the destruction of the city and temple in 70 ad we’re waiting for Jesus to return

The day and hour of the rapture is completely unknown to everyone but the Trinity.
The critical aspect of this feature is that Satan and his host do not nor ever can know.
It is one of God's trump cards so to speak.
And of course it matches the precept of the Jewish wedding ritual, the midnight cry, where the Bride does not know the extract time that the Groom will show up to "snatch" her to the Fathers house. But she knows it will happen soon and inevitably, and that she needs to be pure and holy and......prepared.
Furthermore, Jesus is speaking about THE DAY OF THE LORD (SPECIFIALLY APPOINTED TO ISRAEL and its national repentance) in Matt 24......NOT the rapture.
Therefore, the last 3 fall feasts, which have yet to take place, are specific to the Nation Israel, the FEAST OF TRUMPETS = the start of DOTL, and the tribulation appointed to Israel. And THEN their national repentance which correlates to THE DAY OF ATONEMENT. And THEN of course the Millennial reign which correlates to the FEAST OF TABERNACLES, where God is tabernacling with men.
We, the Church have been raptured BEFORE the DOTL ever begins.
Lev 23
23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “Speak to the people of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall observe a day of solemn rest, a memorial proclaimed with blast of trumpets, a holy convocation. 25 You shall not do any ordinary work, and you shall present a food offering to the Lord.”
"Yes, Jesus did more than hint. He used the phrase the Jews associated with the Feast of Trumpets, " But of that day and hour knoweth no man" (Matt. 24:36). When they heard those words the disciples would immediately have made the association with the Feast of Trumpets.
"Because the first day of the month had to be validated by the two (or three) witnesses, it affected the time for attending the holy convocation for the Day of Trumpets. The Hebrews could not know exactly on which day it would be held as they were waiting for the appearance of the new moon. "
And of the 7 appointed times, the Moedim, the feasts of Moses, ONLY THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS occurs on the FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH.
So IMO the DOTL coincides with the Feast of Trumpets.....that is prophetic for ISRAEL and not the Church.
