FACTS THAT NEED REPEATING AND CONCLUSIONS DRAWN

A fact is a fact. A fact is real, provable and usable. A fact cannot be denied.

This is a fact. It happened once in history, it cannot be repeated ever, and it is a sure sign from the Lord, Himself, I believe, of the times in which we live. That fact is that Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, also called the Feast of Trumpets is the final sign and the message of that sign, is a fact of history. That fact is that from the Feast of Trumpets, September 12/13, 1988 to the Feast of Trumpets, September 26/27, 2022 is, in day count, the exact life span of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Also this is a fact: Matthew 1:21 gives us the first and second names of our Lord. “you shall call His name Jesus for He will save (Savior) His people from their sins”. Jesus Savior was His full earthly name and salvation was His mission in His earthly appearance as a human being. In both Hebrew and Greek gematria, that is the use of numbers as a quantity for each letter of a word, the name Jesus Savior is valued as 888 and 14 respectively. Simple multiplication of these numbers yields 12,432 days, the full length of Jesus' existence from His conception to His death on the cross of Calvary.

The above is a fact, most important! From the two Feasts of Trumpets in 1988 and 2022 is exactly and to the day the number count equal to the lifespan of Jesus Christ, that is 12,432 days. This fact occurred once and cannot ever happen again. And I believe it is a major sign to His CHURCHES, that is the two remaining ones with living members, Phiiladelphia and Laodicea (Revelation 3). What sign? It is a huge “listen up”. Especially to the Philadelphia Church, this message is clear. The message is, “I AM coming for you”!

When will He come for Philadelphia and Laodicea? I see a pattern that may give us a clue or even the answer. That pattern is the use of the time span of the Sacred Feasts of Israel. From Passover to Tabernacles, these feasts cover exactly the time in the birth cycle of a human from fertilization of the female egg to the birth of a baby. That time span is so special, that God spaced His sacred feasts on it. The textbook time is 266 days. So from the Feast of Passover through the Feast of Tabernacles is always 266 days. And, from conception to fertilization is always 14 days, thus Passover was sent 14 days after the first of the sacred year's beginning in the month of Nisan each year. Therefore, the total time is 266 days plus 14 days which adds to 280 days in the full cycle from conception to birth. God places a very great emphasis on the 280 days period as it ruled the Jewish nations for centuries, and still does today in Orthodox Jewry.

Since the rapture did not occur on September 26/27, 2002, as many expected it might, I speculate, therefore, and based on God's preference for the 280 days, that the rapture of the Philadelphia Christians may be exactly 280 days after the Feast of Trumpets in 2022. I have three reasons to think so:

>> Many of today's messengers are telling us that time is very short.

>> It leads us to a national holiday, that is July 3/4, Independence Day in America

>> It is 280 days after the Feast of Trumpets and it is time for a birth.

The first is a message that came to us a few years ago, declared that the rapture would occur on or near a major American holiday such as Memorial Day, Independence Day, or Labor Day. It appears that Independence Day is in view.

The second is seen in a cartoon produced by Nicole Poon in which an American parade is marching to the edge of a high cliff made up of the number 74 as in July 4. What is at the bottom of the cliff is not known, but it cannot be good.

The third is arrived at by counting from the last day of the Lord's life span in 2022 the gestation period that God seems to be so fond of using. From September 26/27, 2022 is exactly 280 days to July 3/4, 2023. I suggest this to be the birth/rapture time of the Philadelphia Christians to new life eternal.

Further proof of of this sign may be to add yet another 280 days to the mix for a total count of 560 days (which in Greek is 'to command') after the Feast of Trumpets, 2022. If the rapture of the Philadelphia Christians begins the birth count to yet another American event, then 280 days more should bring us to another astounding event. It does. It comes to the second swath of the great solar eclipse that forms a huge “X” over America. I believe, and I am sorry to say, that “X” indicates the end of America. The first swath came on July 27, 2017 and just seven years later on April 8, 2024 comes the final one. Time between is 2,448 days, 6.8 years of 360 prophetic days.

The Laodicea Christians are to be left behind. They simply were not ready. They are the foolish virgins that did not keep oil in their lamps. They accepted Jesus and were born again, but they turned back to the world, which ran them out of oil, that oil being the Holy Spirit in their lives, and as a result they did not “work out their salvation with fear and trembling”. Now is their opportunity to work it out by helping to bring in a massive harvest of lost souls. What a privilege is theirs, for when the work is done, they too will be raptured, but born as one out of due season.

Does Scripture tell us how long is Laodicea to labor in the fields? It does, I believe. In John 4:35, Jesus said it would be 4 months or 120 days. I believe their time begins the day that the 3 days sequence of the rapture of the Philadelphia Christians takes place, that is July 3/4, 2023. A count of 120 days forward of this time is October 31/November 1, 2023. Their rapture is likely to be a rescue from the evil demonic forces of that awful time known as Hallowe'en.

That's it. That is my current position. I have written and posted this before, but it bears repeating, over again, I think. May all glory be to God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God bless you all.
