Hello John and Doves,
The next month after the month of Av is Elul
- Elul starts sunset August 20. 1 Elul
is August 21.
22 Elul is the First Fruits of New
Oil, September 11.
23 Elul to 28 Elul is the Festival
of the Wood where each day two tribes were to bring a
tithe of wood for the following years sacrifices.
Little is known of this day - and it may or may not be of
prophetic significance.
Maybe Elul will be the month before things really
start getting bad. The last month to prepare/finish
up preparations. spiritually and otherwise.
The month following Elul is Tishrei.
1 Tishrei is the Festival of
Trumpets (September 19). This is also shabbat
(Saturday). The new moon will be 2% visible on
September 18 and 7% visible on September 19.
10 Tishrei is the Day of Atonement
(September 28).
15 Tishrei through 21 Tishrei is
the Festival of Tabernacles (October 3 - October 9).
22 Tishrei is the Festival of the
Great Day, the eighth day (Shemini Atzeret,
October 10).
All of these dates are according to the chabad.org
calendar.
The fall equinox is on September 22 this year; it
is also called the autumnal or September equinox. On
this day, the length of day and night are nearly of equal
length.
The Feast of Trumpets is also called "Yom Teruah"
which means "the day of the awakening blast". One
has to ask - awakening from what? Awakening means
"rousing from sleep".
In John 11:11 Jesus said "Our friend Lazarus
sleepeth; but I go that I may awake him out of
sleep. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep,
he shall do well. Howbeit Jesus spake of his death:
but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in
sleep. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is
dead."
The Psalmist said "Consider and hear me, O Lord my
God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of
death." Psalm 13:3
"Ancient Jewish tradition is that the
resurrection of the dead will occur on Yom Teruah
and it will be announced by the blowing of the
shofar."

So, it seems, that this "awakening blast" is to
wake the dead!
Much has been written about the Feast of Trumpets
being a possible day for the Rapture.
Pastor Dana Coverstone has reported on some
interesting dreams he has had starting last December
concerning 2020.
Near the end of his latest dream he says he saw the
Heavens open and he saw the Lord with His angels; and the
Lord said "Arise My bride, arise My bride and prepare to
pray. Arise My bride, arise My bride and prepare for
battle. And last He said "Arise My bride, arise My
bride and prepare to see My face for I am coming soon and
My reward is with Me"; he then hears the sound of a
thousand shofars being blown all at once. He awoke
after this.
Pastor Dana thinks battles are coming. He
also said that the Lord only calls us His bride when He's
ready to come get us. He says he is not setting a
date for the return of the Lord. He says the Lord is
waking the church up.
We need to pray and get ready for what is coming.
This is for all churches in America. Warfare is
coming against all of us. God is calling us all to
pray and this is what we need to do in the month of
September to fight what is coming.

A Word For September 2020 - Pastor Dana Coverstone -
YouTube
He mentions "a finger appears and it writes "A
solemn" in front of September (name of the
calendar month) and "assembly"
afterwards.
I looked up "solemn assembly" on the Biblehub
Strong's 6116 atsereth: solemn assembly meeting - an
assembly, especially on a festival or holiday.
"A solemn assembly is the gathering and sanctifying
of the community of Israel for a solemn occasion. It
is used in a technical sense as the eighth day of the
Feast of Booths (Tabernacles)"

Leviticus 23:36 "Seven days you shall present
the Lord's offerings by fire; on the eighth day (of the
Feast of Tabernacles) you shall observe a holy convocation
and present the Lord's offerings by fire; it is a solemn
assembly"
Numbers 29:35 "On the eighth day (of the
Festival of Tabernacles) you shall have a solemn assembly"
Nehemiah 8:18 "He read from the book of the
law of God daily, from the first day to the last
day. And they celebrated the feast seven days, and
on the eighth day (of the Feast of Tabernacles) there was
a solemn assembly according to the ordinance."
(These solemn assemblies are not common in the
Bible - the seventh day of Passover is also a solemn
assembly.
Deuteronomy 16:8 "For six days (of Passover)
you shall continue to eat unleavened bread, and on the
seventh day there shall be a solemn assembly for the Lord
your God...")
It's just interesting that in October of this year
we have the Feast of Tabernacles and the eighth day is
October 10 - the day of a solemn assembly. This
eighth day is called Shemini Atzeret. Is
Pastor Dana's dream telling us to prepare for the month
of October?
So far, Pastor Dana hasn't told us anything
specific about the month of October. Maybe there
will be another dream...
2 Thessalonians 2:7 "For the mystery of
lawlessness is already at work, but the one who now
restrains it will continue until he is taken
out of the way." Is the timing of the 'taking out of
the way' of 'the one who restrains' linked to the Rapture
when the body of Christ is removed from the world?
Does this somehow involve this solemn assembly?
"My attention has now turned to Shemini Atzeret
("Eighth Assembly") - the very last day of the very last
festival, which would make this quite literally the last
trump of the moedim. According to Numbers 10:7-1,
trumpets would be blown at least twice on this day.
The first to gather God's people to a special assembly
unlike any other (moed assemblies are called miqra, but
this assembly is also called atzeret). And the
second as an accompaniment to an offering made by
fire." much more at the link

Prophecy Updates
Here are just two upcoming possible days for the
Rapture - Feast of Trumpets always looks like a good
possibility, and Shemini Atzeret is on the list also.
Or it could be some other day. We've had so many
'good ones' come and go!
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
Chance
We don't know if Pastor Dana's latest dreams
are prophetic - not until things happen. But they
are certainly very interesting.
