Wow, the numbers fit precisely
Hanukah is the 25th day of Kislev. Kislev is the 9th month. Joshua said that the rapture would be 9/23. Jesus said that those who were not taken would be cast out into outer darkness. Hanukah is all about light and even though they didn't have enough oil they still had light. The foolish virgins didn't bring oil, they are cast out into outer darkness. So perhaps at the time of the rapture there is three days of darkness (think of the rapture occurring when Jesus says "My God, my God, why have You forsaken me" being equivalent to the left behind saints crying out when they are left behind. He then goes into the tomb for three days being equivalent to the three days of darkness. The Jewish calendar has a 13th month seven times in 19 years. So it is more frequent than once every three years. This means that from the rapture to the midpoint of the tribulation 3 1/2 years later will be 43 months, not 42 months. This means that 42 months of 30 days each, or 1,260 days later, the length of time of the ministry of the two witnesses it will be the 2nd month of the year, not the third. The two witnesses could be killed on 2nd Passover.
Revelation 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Now the same is true of the second period of 3 1/2 years, we will also have a 13th month during one of those years. So 42 months later will be during the seventh month, Tishrei. Suppose this ends on the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles, 7/15.
Revelation 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Now we are told it is 1,290 days from when the abomination that makes desolate is set up. If that is on Passover it fits perfectly with the start of the Feast of Tabernacles. It would also fit perfectly with 2nd Passover which is one month later.
Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
So then let's look at the celebration of 2nd Passover in 2 Chronicles 30 with Hezekiah, a picture of the Jews returning to worship the Lord during the Great Tribulation.
2 Chronicles 30:15 Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the Lord.
This is 2/14.
16 And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites. 17 For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the Lord. 18 For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good Lord pardon every one 19 That prepareth his heart to seek God, the Lord God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary. 20 And the Lord hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people. 21 And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the Lord day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the Lord.
This ends 2/21.
22 And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the Lord: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the Lord God of their fathers. 23 And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other seven days with gladness.
The other seven days takes you to 2/28.
I don't think that the two witnesses being killed will be killed as the Passover lamb, that would only refer to Jesus. But it may be that after the one week the two witnesses are killed, three days later they are raised, and so now they keep a second week of the 2nd Passover, but this time they are worshipping Jesus as the Messiah. That would fit perfectly with their ministry and it reminds us of when the Lord first instituted the Lord's table. At first they celebrated the Passover, Judas left, and then they celebrated the Lord's table.
I would also point out this aligns with my dream. I asked the Lord for a rapture dream, I have shared on it already in this blog, but the bottom line is my understanding was the Lord was pointing to the day of resurrection, the Lord's day, as the day of the rapture. Hanukah begins December 14th in the evening. So the twinkling of the eye on December 14th, sunset, would fit with that dream since that is also the Lord's day.
