I appreciate the feedback and love the engagement. (Note - I never said I wasn't watching, I said I wasn't dogmatic about a particular date.) Interesting to note that the venerated, Chuck Missler has been teaching on the subject of the Feast days for decades. That does not surprise me. Whenever I begin to think myself smart, I listen to Chuck speak about quantum physics.... :) I guess my point was, the ground breaking revelation was not released to the Watcher community as a whole by the power of the Holy Spirit until recently.<br /><br />The Lord is amazing in that regard, don't you all agree?<br /><br />The greatest privilege of my life has been to study His word, to receive glimmers of revelation, and to be blessed with the ability to articulate those small items to my friends.<br /><br />Faith, hope, and love but the greatest of these is love.Dolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03242848268453433161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-37550087445297370312017-09-07T20:22:18.909-05:002017-09-07T20:22:18.909-05:00I only have one thing to write to you.

The second statement regarding 1 Thes 4:16-17 and 1 Cor 15:50-52 using the same terminology is spot on. ;-) Both of these are the two most widely known and used passages that refer to the rapture, dead in Christ rise first. This is very very different event, different place and different trumpets from Rev. The first two are God's trumpet, and we meet Christ in the air - Harpazo/ rapturo. The Rev passage are seven angels blowing seven different trumpets, and it's judgement and horrible wrath on the earth. Paul says "at the Last Trumpet" in the passage about resurrection/rapture - this is the last blast of Feast of Trumpets. It can't be referring to judgement of the angels' trumpets because Revelation wasn't written until 35 years later. Paul can't be describing something that hasn't been revealed by God. Blessings.

God set the date for the Sept alignment - whatever that means in itself. God didn't say it is the Rev 12 sign. There are still a lot of unanswered questions and speculation. It's based on man's interpretation of a chapter of Rev. It's based on someone's reasoning that chapter 12 is the beginning, and it's based on the reasoning that 2 verses line up, but the very next 2 verses don't apply. It's also based on secular men's understanding of years. It also doesn't fall on a Feast Day. Christ fulfilled all the Spring feasts in perfect order and in perfect precision. That's why we need to be cautious and gracious. For me, the biggest red flag of all, is the notion that it can't be debunked. I believe deeply and firmly in the convergence of signs and dates, and blood moon tetrads and jubilee years, and earthquakes in diverse places, and the increased immorality, and Israel as the fig tree, and that the feasts are given to point to Christ and they are inseparably linked to the rapture, second coming and millennium. I know that we all see through a glass dimly. Many blessings.

You don't explain why you seem very sure about the day, hour, minute. and also very sure it's not Feast of Trumpets. You must have some theory? What's the significance of Oct 5? Sukkot? Feast of Booths? The other two fall Feasts - Feasts of Trumpets and Day of Atonement have not been fulfilled.

Many thanks. Y...A good, cautionary article, Dolley. Many thanks. Your grandmother was a very wise person. <br /><br />Re one thing you said:<br /><br />"An example of this is the knowledge of the fulfilled Spring Feasts at the first coming of the Lord Jesus. Those of us who have been at it for awhile take that revelation for granted these days but I have to stress that a mere seven years ago even the most ardent and learned of Watchers was unaware of this amazing fact."<br /><br />Seven years ago? Actually, Chuck Missler was teaching about that very issue in the late 1970s when he was doing Monday night Bible studies at Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa. I began attending his study in Isaiah 'round about '76 or '77. At that time, Missler also believed that by the same token, the Fall feasts pertain to Christ's 2nd coming--not for His Church--but again to the earth to ISRAEL to set up His kingdom. That seems to me to be more consistent with the symbolism vis-a-vis the Spring feasts and His 1st coming to Israel. <br /><br />The Rapture of the Body of Christ can happen at ANY time. It's a sign-less event. That's what "imminent" means. (By way of disclosure, I'm a staunch pre-tribulationist.) As for being "excited" about the Lord's catching up of His Church, I don't see in Scripture where being "ready" and "watchful" has anything to do with one's emotional state. Aren't we told to be "alert and SOBER"? (1st Th. 5:6,8) <br /><br />Speaking of CCCM (and in keeping with your word of caution) one of Pastor Chuck SMITH'S worst miscalculations teaching-wise was his apparent near certainty about the Lord's return in 1988. Afaikt, he never *said* in so many words that Jesus would surely rapture the Church by 1981 (or '88 at the latest), but he came so close to it that to this day many anti-pre-trib authors and bloggers still insist that he did, and use it as "proof" of Post-tribism, post-millennialism or worse; that "there is no Rapture". As a result of the "failed return", the teaching of Bible prophecy at CCCM dwindled seriously after 1988. Today there's hardly a trickle, if any, and Rick Warren has so schmoozed his way with the leadership at CCCM that there isn't likely to be any until... well, after the Rapture. RW is--of course--very anti-prophecy study since encouraging anyone to believe in the Rapture would adversely affect his recruitment of people into his P.E.A.C.E. plan. One of my biggest fears about the... um, "excitement" surrounding this Rev. 12 issue is that if it doesn't happen as some expect it to happen, or as some think they HEARD that it would happen, the valuable truth of Rev. 12--that it points to a pre-trib Rapture--will be lost and the study of Bible prophecy will be disparaged even more than it now is.<br /><br />Another word of caution: About "the publication of The Harbinger, the discovery of the blood moons" etc: With the publication of that book, Jonathan Cahn was instrumental in stirring up the hysteria that only served to OBSCURE any biblical significance of the Blood Moons. He's another example of someone who sold a lot of books by exploiting error. Jack Kelly reviewed The Harbinger at least three times, and his reviews were not favorable. Again, alert and SOBER!Chuck Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08445244949701302380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-39306473471051735472017-09-05T23:36:59.133-05:002017-09-05T23:36:59.133-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Chuck Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08445244949701302380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-52441011806567027472017-09-05T23:32:29.656-05:002017-09-05T23:32:29.656-05:00Yeeees!!!

God set this date, which has never happened before. God set theate and time long ago. When mén set dates in the past it was never based on anything celestial like this sign. What did Y2K have to do with the Rapture, or any other event on the earth as being reasons to set dates in the past? They were all based on the thoughts of man and were being presumptuous towards God. This sign of Rev. 12, however, comes out of the Mind of God. He set the date.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05733235656274679463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-23299018536407882042017-09-05T20:30:50.745-05:002017-09-05T20:30:50.745-05:00I' m it being dogmatic about the sign in that ...I' m it being dogmatic about the sign in that regard. You have totally disregarded my point- Faith has nothing to do with dogmatism. It simply means believing God in a way that pleases Him. Sometimes we stand all alone in certain areas of faith - against the thoughts of men that oppose the very thing we know God has revealed to us personally. My faith in the sign in the sky isn't dogmatic, just as the wise men who followed the Star of Bethlehem departed on their journey, probably against much mocking, purely by immovable, determined faith alone.

It is through interpretation of some that say that. It is ok to be cautious about mans interpretation. If God said this is the sign, then every bible teacher would be dogmatic about it but He doesnt. And, even Pastor Paul is not saying this is the date of the rapture. In fact he is talking about this period being the 40 days of repentance like Jonah, which ends after September 23.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11380543774626445926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-2594434335602031792017-09-05T19:08:12.986-05:002017-09-05T19:08:12.986-05:00Thank you for this!

I am very cautious about this sign because I fell hook line and sinker about Jack's 2011 rapture based on the 70 year generation. I actually talked about it to others, and made preparations and here it is 6 years later. Since then, I just can't commit to anyone's date teachings. It is too disappointing. Nonetheless.

NOt to mean to be offensive to some who want to be a "cautious watchman", but I don't think that the wise men who followed the sign of the Star which led them to the birth of Messiah Jesus, were what could be considered to be "cautious watchmen". They bravely, not cautiously, left their country, with their expensive gifts to be given to the expected finding of the fulfillment the sign in the Heaven which led them to the right place at the right time. They knew the undeniable, indisputable, evidence in the sky would lead them to the Messiah. It was faith that led them, not "cautiousness". After all, "faith is the substance of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen", So, with our like-minded faith of the former wise men, we have substance and evidence. Let us have faith. I believe our Heavenly Father is requiring us at this moment in this generation of believers who have like-wise seen the sign in the sky, just as the wise men did and moved in faith, to exhibit our faith as they did and go all out in believing the signs God has so cleverly and brilliantly spread out before us. After ,"faith without works, is dead", meaning, faith is acting on what you believe (as Abraham did in offering Isaac, trusting completely in God to raise him up). That's what faith is. Faith has nothing to do with being "cautious", but has everything to do with "action".
