ZNP,
we are in the pocket of time where it all begins.
Sept 9th is the entrance and the ending date is Nov. 4th.
A friend calculated the days from Passover 2030 and it is Nov. 4, 2026.
And I shared that it would be a date for Israel proper which makes it Nov 3 here in the US. The date of the midterm elections. And that appears to the the next 911.

ALERT: The Temple Mount Just Changed on Rosh Hashanah
He explains why it is big news that they blew the shofar on Rosh Hashanah this year as it was a sabbath day. The second day they went on to the temple mount. Hundreds went up at sunrise. Blew the shofar and ascended in groups of 30. Throughout the day 600 ascended, and with as many as 120 at a time, which is a first. The prayer service lasted for four hours. Also they were allowed to wear their prayer shawls. Not only so but many people snuck up shofars and silver trumpets and blew them together. Were able to complete the three rounds. This is a first in thousands of years.
I have shared extensively on the parable of the 10 virgins.
Here is a quick summary of the points in this parable that refer to the Feast of Trumpets
In Matthew 25, the parable of the ten virgins I have found several correlations with the Feast of Trumpets.
1. You have a midnight cry which would only take place during the Feast of Trumpets as that is when the first sighting of the new moon would take place.
2. The cry is that the bridegroom cometh, which is also relevant only to the Feast of Trumpets
3. There is an awakening from this cry and that is what this cry is called during the feast of trumpets, the awakening blast.
4. Five of the virgins enter in and then the door is closed. That closing of the door takes place on Yom Kippur, nine days after Feast of Trumpets.
5. The wise virgins enter into the wedding feast which is the Feast of Tabernacles, two weeks after the Feast of Trumpets. The foolish virgins are locked out of the wedding feast, that woulld take place on Yom Kippur, nine days after the Feast of Trumpets.
6. Jesus concludes that you don't know the day or the hour, which is an idiom for the Feast of Trumpets.
7. Finally, the Feast of Trumpets takes place when the sun is in Virgo, the virgin.
Any one of these could be a coincidence, but all seven, no.
But now I want to focus on this verse:
Matthew 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
According to Rabbinic tradition the door is shut at sundown on the 9th of Tishrei, when Yom Kippur begins. We know that the foolish virgins show up after that point, during Yom Kippur. This means prior to that point their names were not in the book of life and the reason was they didn't know the Lord, or more precisely, the Lord didn't know them.
We also know from other portions of the word that the rapture is at the twinkling of the eye, sunset or twilight.
But we cannot tell from this when the wise virgins enter into the wedding, it could be anytime between feast of Trumpets and the 9th of Tishrei. Except that we know once they enter in the door is shut. We also know that as soon as the rapture takes place those who are left behind will cry out to God "my God, my God, why have you forsaken me" and at that time He will tell them it is because He doesn't know them and the door is shut.
There is one other interesting point, on the Jubilee year, the year that the things you lost are restored, Feast of Trumpets and Yom Kippur are the same day. Why? Two things are happening at once. Think of a Final exam you take, if you pass you graduate, if you fail you go to summer school. For some, that day is a day to leave HS and enter college, it is a door they pass through, while for others it is a wake up call. They learn the door is shut in their face and they must wake up to the fact that they have been foolish. To enter into the wedding indicates that what was lost has been restored, Jesus was taken from us, now we get Him back. But how about for those who set themselves up as mediators between the Lord Jesus and man? The door will be shut in their face, the Lord never knew them, never approved of that.

Major revelation of the Rapture in the Old Testament Holy Days of the Lord.
Not only is this a picture of the rapture, it show that all the other pictures of resurrection in the Holy Days are not actually a picture of the rapture!
In the Parable of the ten virgins we learn that the wise virgins enter in the door and the foolish are locked out and that this closing of the gates takes place at sundown on the 9th of Tishrei as Yom Kippur is about to start. Three things happen on Yom Kippur to three different groups of people. The Raptured saints "enter in". This is typified by the High Priest entering the Holy of holies, the only time of the year. Second, one of the goats is killed, this also happens at the rapture when the False prophets of Baal are killed or when Samson pushes out the pillars and the 3,000 worshipping Dagon are killed. The third thing is the scape goat is released into the wilderness to wander. This also happens at the rapture to the left behind saints.
He compares the taking of an island by the Houthis to the twin towers coming down. the reason this is truly amazing is the comparison with Samson pushing out the two pillars of the Temple to Dagon.
The worship of Dagon was all about global trade. The key commodity that started global trade was grain, and the destruction of the temple to Dagon is tied to the collapse of global trade at the time of Samson.
The twin towers were the "world trade center" a temple to global trade, but that was simply a warning. Although it was a very big attack it did not cause global trade to collapse. But what has just happened is that Saudi Arabia has shut down all oil exports for the next two and a half months. That is huge, and with oil tankers being sunk in both straits you will see a massive increase in the price of oil, a large spike in the price of diesel due to the damage to oil refineries and these two things are going to bring about the collapse of global trade.
You can liken what has just happened to Jesus flipping the table of the money changers.
This is a massive escalation when you view this war as an attack on the US dollar hegemony.
The Great Delusion is not about UFOs
I'm not saying they won't lie about UFO's taking the raptured saints, but that is not going to fool very many people. Those who push this lie will know it is a lie, just as the soldiers who said the disciples took the Lord's body. The Christians who are left behind won't be deluded, and even the unbelievers won't buy it because 42 months later when the two witnesses are killed they live stream the bodies lying in the street for over 72 hours and the whole world is watching that. No, there is a much bigger delusion that all unbelievers have fallen for and even a lot of Christians have been deluded with it. That is that the powers of darkness are powerful and can overcome the children of the light. They believe the cross of Christ is weak and foolish. That is the "great delusion".

The Foucault Pendulum as an illustration of End Time prophecy
The Foucault pendulum was invented as a means of proving that the earth rotates on its axis. The idea is that the rotation of the earth applies a rotational force on the Pendulum so that over the course of 24 hours the pendulum will swivle on its axis exactly 360 degrees just as the earth rotates 360 degrees in the same period of time.
Now apply that to end time prophecy. The world is governed by God's power that was revealed in Jesus death and resurrection. To prove that God tells us the end from the beginning. Think of those prophecies as the pins that are set on the circle that the Foucault pendulum will swing through as the earth rotates. God tells you all the things that will happen over time because the force of Jesus death and resurrection is every bit as real as the rotational force on the earth.
Which now leads us to the rapture. If we can correlate the rapture to the pattern of the Lord's ministry on earth we will have a pattern for the rapture just as sure as the sun rising and setting due to the Earth's rotation.
During the gospels there are three really good candidates. Jesus' baptism, Jesus' resurrection, and Lazarus rising from the dead.
Lazarus rising from the dead sets the stage for Jesus to enter Jerusalem triumphantly just as the two witnesses being killed and then being raised from the dead on the fourth day sets the stage for Jesus to return in great glory when the Jews say "blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord". However, 42 months earlier Jesus is baptized. This depicts a priest being consecrated for service as a priest. In order to be consecrated Jesus needs to be 30 years old. This strongly indicates that Jesus was born on Feast of Trumpets and the baptism is on the feast of Trumpets when He turns 30. He is immediately driven out into the wilderness like the scapegoat on Yom Kippur and when He returns from the time in the wilderness He reads a verse about the year of Jubilee and says "this word has been fulfilled". This indicates He was baptized on the year of Jubilee, on Yom Kippur, when both feast of Trumpets and Yom Kippur are the same day. That the ministry began with Him being the scapegoat and ends with him being the goat that is killed as the atoning sacrifice.
In the same way the raptured saints will be beginning their heavenly ministry as priests. It begins with them being sanctified and separated at the door to the tent of meeting for seven days, the seven years of the tribulation. Meanwhile those left behind after the rapture will become the scape goats on earth. The ministry is all about having died with Christ and it is no longer I that live but Christ that lives in me. Some Christians embrace the cross of Christ, this verse is their reality, they have lived as the scape goat. They will be raptured. Those that haven't gone through this experience will get a second chance during the tribulation.
The ordination ceremony for a priest involves being washed (baptized) and then being clothed. Paul describes our transfiguration as being clothed. The "baptism" kicks off the ministry of the tribulation saints, just as the death and resurrection of the two witnesses kicks off the "ministry" of the Jews as a nation, causing them to confirm that Jesus is the Messiah. Lazarus being raised confirmed Jesus was the one with the resurrection life who would bring salvation. Jesus being baptized confirmed that He was the Son of God, the one we need to listen to.
The issue in Christianity today is too many voices, who do you listen to? After the rapture it will be crystal clear who to listen to and who was a false prophet deceiving people. Meanwhile the issues for the Jews is who has the power of resurrection life that can overcome all the death and destruction that they will be threatened with.
