END OF THE HARVEST RAPTURE?

LAST AND GREAT DAY OF THE FEAST
After 4 Months and then comes the Harvest

  • When will the Rapture and the End of the Church Age occur?
  • Is there a Prophetic Parallel in Sukkot and the 8th Day Assembly?
  • Is the Rapture tied or linked to the 120-Day Code Jesus gave?

‘Jesus explained, My Food is to do the Will of Him who sent Me and to finish His Work. Do you not say, ‘There are still 4 Months until the Harvest’? I tell you, lift up your Eyes and look at the Fields, for they are Ripe for Harvest. Already the Reaper Draws his Wages and Gathers a Crop for Eternal Life, so that the Sower and the Reaper may Rejoice together’. -John 6:34-36
 
The purpose of this study is to consider some Year and Day Calculations that suggest how the Resurrection-Rapture Event could be tied to the Feast of Shemini Atzeret for 2022. One has written Articles already about this High Watch Day Rapture Correlation and the Links will be noted in the End Notes. This study will show how a 4-Month Countdown that Jesus alluded to, could be ascertained, not from the Spring Equinox, as one has previously thought, but from the Summer Solstice. And?

If one does a Day Calculation based on a 30-Day/Month Factor, the End Date will be the Feast of Shemini Atzeret, the 8th Day of Assembly. This Day will also be shown how it is also tied to one’s ‘723’ Dream that occurred in 2021. And that amazingly, when  converting it to a Jewish Count, it is the 7th Month and 23rd Day, with is Shemini Atzerets also. Before one delves into the Year and Day Calculations, that is very exciting to consider, a Brief Background concerning what leads-up to Shemini Atzeret will be noted. It is based on the Weekly Cycle that follows the Creation Count of 7 Days. The Pattern of 7’s continues in an ‘Amplification’ of Time, being then 7 Weeks, beginning with Passover. Then there is the 7x7 Years that equal a Jubilee Count, etc.


The Parallels concerning the Feast or the 8th Day, called Shemini, is that the Usual Weekly Cycle of Time consists of 6 Days and are followed by 7th or the Sabbath Day. Check. The Point is that the Feast of Shemini Atzeret, the 8th Day of Assembly is then a Double Sabbath and ‘Double Portion’. One could then suggest that it is akin to the Double Portion received by Elisha as Elijah was Raptured-Up by the Fiery Chariot. And this then has possible Rapture implications, perhaps Prophetically to consider.

As Shemini Atzeret follows the 7-Days of Sukkot or Tabernacles, it is then a Micro-Version of how, interestingly, one is seeing Rapture Overtures in this 8th Day of Assembly, as never before. Meaning that, what if the Resurrection-Rapture Transformation is to take place on such a Day? From the 7th Day to the 8th Day? This Notion will be developed further in the study. For 2022 however, there are many Watchmen that still insist, even at this Late Stage of the Gregorian Year, that the Fall Feasts are ‘1 Month Off’ and that there is a Tetrad of Blood Moons in Play. One has respectfully critiqued these Notions in the following Articles for Reference.

Last and Great Day of the Feast

If the Rabbinical Calendar is off by 1 Month in 2022-23, it would make October 25, 2022, which is a Full Moon and in which there will be a Partial Solar Eclipse, the start of the Fall Feasts of YHVH, i.e., Rosh HaShanah.

#661: ARE WE IN A BLOOD MOON TETRAD?
IS THE RABBINICAL CALENDAR OFF BY 1 MONTH?
https://www.postscripts.org/ps-news-661.html


As to the Eclipse and Shemini, a Fellow Watchman, Stephan from the Revelation 12 Daily Blog has some Interesting Connections dealing with the Transition from a 7 to 8 Numerical Factor. This pertains to the 7th Day, the End of Sukkot or Tabernacles transitioning to the 8th Day, Shemini Atzeret. Brother Stephan has noticed many other Number Associations that will be noted in this study as well. In this case, that the Solar Eclipse occurs on October 25, is Tishrei 30, the Last Day of the 7th Jewish Month.

Now, because of this Calendar Discrepancy, there are those that believe that the Tribulation Period has already started, due to the New Shemitah Cycle in play. Obviously, the Rapture did not occur on the True Date of Rosh HaShanah, being September 26, 2022. For the Year 2022, the Months that determine the 1st and the 7th Months, by the New Moon have been accurate and pegged to the Equinoxes. This is how the Lunar Calendar is Synchronized to the Solar one.

Yes, the present Hillel Jewish Calendar is set to a Mathematical Calculation that has to be Reset Periodically. Thus, the Calendar is adjusted by adding 1 Extra Month every so often. Now, to the subject of the 8th Day of Assembly and the End of the Harvest Rapture Typology. The following Observations and Number Calculations are a Contribution by Stephan. He surmised that 1 such possibly Shemini Rapture Inference deals with the Luke 9:28 Transfiguration, said to be, ‘About 8 Days’ later.

This could also be a clue to Shemini Atzeret. How so? In the Online Conversation, Stephan noted correctly of a Fact that made him Suspicious. He read the following Article linked below of how one has calculated the possible Time Sequence of Jesus’ Proclamation of the Jubilee and subsequent start of His Public Ministry, etc. He noted that in the Fall Feast Timeline, Jesus proclaimed the Jubilee on Yom Kippur, on October 18th, 28 AD. And? If one is going by the September 26, 2022, Yom Teruah Date, then the 8th Day of Assembly falls on October 18, 2022.

#676: SHEMINI ATZERET RAPTURE?
https://www.postscripts.org/ps-news-676.html

FALL FEAST TIMELINE BASED ON 1ST NEW MOON AFTER FALL EQUINOX 
October 09, 28 AD      = Tishrei 1 New Civil Year on Rosh HaShanah - Sabbath 
October 18, 28 AD      = Yom Kippur - 10th Day (Jesus reads Isaiah - Jubilee Proclaimed. 
October 23, 28 AD      = Sukkot or Feast of Tabernacles - 15th Day 
October 31, 28 AD      = Shemini Atzeret - ‘The 8th Day Assembly’ 16th Day 
November 1, 28 AD    = Simchat Torah - Reading of Torah 17th Day  


A Factor of 7’s

Stephan observed that, amazingly, the Jubilee was on the Same Day as Shemini Atzeret for 2022. Noted. One suggests that Shemini Atzeret has Rapture Parallels based on what Jesus did and said on that ‘Last and Great Day of the Feast, etc. Stephan found that fascinating and proceeded to share some more, very interesting Figures to consider. He mentioned that, if the Timeline of when Jesus proclaimed the Jubilee is True and Valid, it would have been the Beginning of the Jewish Year 3789.

And after the completion of 2000 Years, the Jewish Year 5790 will begin on Rosh Hashana 2029, on September 11th. And? This is the Day, exactly 2520 Days later from October 18, 2022, that one speculates Jesus is to return after the Tribulation Period concludes. Stephan goes on to contribute to the Conversation that the Feast of Tabernacles is the Last Feast, the 7th Feast in the 7th Month and it lasts 7 Days (7-7-7). This Numerical Value in Gematria signifies a Total Completion, having the 8th Day come next.

7th Feast
7th Month
7 Days
= (
7-7-7) Sequence. A Total Completion. And on the 8th Day there could be a New Beginning.

There could be then a ‘New Beginning’ that is to follow, as a Prophetic Timepiece or Typology. The Rapture Event perhaps? If Jesus did indeed proclaim the Jubilee Year on Yom Kippur, on October 18, 28 AD, based on one’s Calculations from September -3 BC, being Jesus’ Birth, assuming, then the following is Extremely Significant for the possible Timing or Season of the Rapture Event. If Jesus proclaimed the Jubilee Year in that Yom Kippur of 28 AD, this would be the beginning of the Jewish Year 3789.

3789 + 2000 Years = Jewish Year 5790
Year 5790 - 7 Year Tribulation (All Wrath inclusive with 1st Seal) = 
5783 or 2022-23.

This Year Count Calculation would be based on one’s Speculated Day that the Return of Jesus would be on Rosh HaShanah, 2029 on September 11th, exactly 2520 Days from Shemini Atzeret of October 18, 2022. If the Rapture Event does not occur on this High Watch Date, one just needs to continue Watching. And as to the Feast of Tabernacles being the Last Feast and possible Timing of when the Church Age ‘Ends’? Consider the following Correlation made by Stephan and now one suggests then is similar to a 7-7-7 Year-Month-Day Factor tied to the Flood of Noah.

It reminded one of the 21-Year or 7-7-7 Year Sabbath Cycle Countdown since 9-11 of 2001. And how the Death of Lamech in the Year 777 was when thereafter, 5 Years later that the Flood of Judgement came. A while back one shared this possible Rapture Timing Connection in the following Article below. And how it is tied to the 5-Year Anniversary of the Revelation 12 Sign, etc.

#644: WHY RAPTURE OCCURS IN 5TH YEAR
https://www.postscripts.org/ps-news-644.html  


A Coming Transfiguration

So, one just wanted to Reiterate this portion of the Watchman’s Collective ‘Connecting the Dots’ as being very Significant and Important to take in at this Point and Time in the Watch for the Rapture Season and/or possible Timing. The following are more of Brother Stephan’s Keen Observations about the possible Rapture occurring on Shemini Atzeret, October 18, 2022. Or having, some sort of Event happens as a result. He ties the Rapture Event with the Mount of Transfiguration Occurrence and how that has Overtones to the Day Count from the 7th Day to the 8th Day, etc.

Brother Stephan mentions that there are 3 Bible Passages about Jesus Transfiguration in Matthew, Mark and Luke. In Matthew and Mark, it reads, 'After 6 Days’, which means on the 7th Day. In Luke, it reads ‘About 8 Days later. He asks, why is there a Discrepancy? Could it mean that the Transfiguration takes place between Day 7 and Day 8? Is the Transition at the End of the 7th Day and at the Beginning of the 8th Day? Is it a Coincidence that the Transfiguration is described in Matthew 17 between Verse 7 and 8? Verse 7 speaks of ‘Arise’ and in Verse 8, there is Jesus alone.

Matthew 17
7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not Afraid.
And when they had lifted-up their Eyes, they saw no Man, save Jesus only.

If, according to the Speculated Timeline being considered, October 18, 2022, to September 11, 2029, October 18, 2022, would be the ‘Start’ of the Tribulation Period Day Count. Perhaps. Therefore, it would make sense that the Rapture would happen at the end of the 17th of October, in the sense of a ‘Last Minute’ Rapture Scenario. Stephan further elaborates that the Transition would be Tishrei 22-23 in the Jewish Year 2022-2023. And he found another possible Rapture Clue tied to Shemini Atzeret based on the Last Day of Tabernacles, being October 17th in the Rabbinical Calendar. And?

Jesus Died on Nisan 14th and was Resurrected on the 3rd Day, which was Nisan 17th. So, there is an Implied Connection for the Number 17 to the Resurrection-Rapture Event. Then he noted that the Tetrad Blood Moons of 2014-15 highlighted the 1st Month during Passover in Nisan and with the 7th Month Tishrei with Sukkot, a 1 and a 7 Month Factor. He asked. Could it mean that as Jesus Resurrected in Nisan, as the ‘Head’, the Resurrection-Rapture Event of the Bride, [taken out from the Body of Christ] will happen in Tishrei? 1-7=17? On October 17th?

Interestingly, Stephan noted that Putin celebrated his 70th Birthday on October 7th also. He was born during Tabernacles in 1952. And? It is another of those 70-Year Factors that Converge in the Year 2022. You have the end of the 10th Shemitah Cycle for Israel and the Death of the Queen of England, for example concluding a 70-Year Span of Commission. The following Verse Observation is based on the October 18, 2022 to September 11, 2029 Tribulation Timeline. If correct, would suggest 2022 still holds Promise for the Resurrection-Rapture Event to occur. Stephen surmised that in Acts 1, 9-11, the Ascension of Jesus is described in how in ‘Like Manner’, Jesus will return.

Eye on Shemini

The Angels said that Jesus will, ‘Come in like Manner’. He asked, Do these Verse Numbers (9-11) possibly indicate that the 2nd Coming of Christ is on 9/11, at the Feast of Trumpets 2029? Thus, to Summarize, Brother Stephan has been very Keen on his many Contributing Number Revelations about October 17-18, being Shemini Atzeret, possibly being the Rapture High Watch Day(s), and/or possibly the Start of the Tribulation. Perhaps. Now to the Notion of how Shemini Atzeret could very well be the ‘End of the Harvest’. The following is from Acts 1, 9-11.

9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was Taken-Up; and a Cloud received Him out of their Sight.

10 And while they looked steadfastly toward Heaven as he Went-Up, behold, 2 Men stood by them in White Apparel; [Moses and Elijah?]

11 Which also said, Ye Men of Galilee, why stand ye Gazing up into Heaven? This same Jesus, which is Taken-Up from you into Heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into Heaven.

As it is, Shemini Atzeret is the ‘Last Feast’ and coincides with the ‘Last’ of all the Agricultural Harvest Times for the Season. And here is where there is another Key Numbers Revelation possibly tied to when the Resurrection-Rapture Event could occur on Shemini Atzeret. As many Readers of one’s Articles and Research may know, one is keen on the 120 Days or ‘4 Months till the End of the Harvest’, as being a Major Rapture Clue. One believes it is starting from 1 of the 4 Cardinal Points of the Seasons, mainly the Spring Equinox, that one naturally gravitated towards to begin the Day Count. One courts 4 Months or 120 Days out, as Jesus Prescribes and there it is, the possible High Watch Rapture Day or Season. OK.

But that Day Count brought one to July 21, near that 7-23 Numerical Value that one had as a Dream, if one used the Spring Equinox. One thought, based on the Gregorian Calendar that the Rapture Event would have happened on July 23, 2022, based on one’s 7-23 Dream and the Pentecost Double-Count Theory. But what if, as many People pointed out, to include Brother Stephan that the 7-23 Numerical Value was actually based on and needed to be interpreted on a Jewish reckoning of Time? This would then mean that it would be the 7th Month in the 23rd Day. And? The Mystery of the 723 Vision one had back in 2021 would be solved by the following Observation then.

23rd of Tishrei, 5783 (723)
= Tuesday, 
18 October 2022


If one would like to know what that 723 Vison or Dream one had back in 2021, was and is about, see the following Article Link.

#517: 723
VISION OF THE RAPTURE DATE?
https://www.postscripts.org/ps-news-517.html

Optimistically Cautious

One is Naturally Bias towards Pentecost because of the so many Harvest Typologies that suggest an End of Summer or Season Harvest Rapture. But…what if one is off by 1 Season or Solstice? What if instead of starting the 120 Day Count from March 20-21, 2022, one should have started or should start that Day Count from the Summer Solstice of June 20-21? So, guess what Day from June 21, 2022, being the Summer Solstice, and adding 120 Days or that 4 Month Time Period will land on?

June 20, 2022 (Summer Solstice) + 120 Days or 4 Months till Harvest
= Tuesday, (The 3rd Day) 
October 18, 2022.
= Shemini Atzeret with Simchat Torah on the 19th.

One does recognize that each Feast of YHVH does have Elements of the Rapture and Shemini is one of them. However, one has seen some amazing New Insights into this Mysterious Feast, as noted. As mentioned in prior Posts that are Linked below, what if, the ‘Last and Greatest Day of the Feast’, when Jesus stands and Shouts about being ‘Transformed’ from within is when the Rapture will occur? Does not the Rapture Scenario and Description echo what Jesus does and says on that 7th Day, going into the 8th Day, in comparison to what He too will say and do at the Rapture Event?

Granted, this is all just Conjecture and Research still. But Jesus talked about a Transformation from within, as Living Water coming out. Is not the Bodies of the Followers of Jesus to be Transformed from the inside-out, just as much? And Supernaturally when the Rapture Call comes, ‘On the Last and Great Day’? What if the Harvest is culminated with this 8th Day of Assembly Feast? But, as a Disclaimer, if it is a Bust, then perhaps what one has also mentioned is how there might be a 3.5 Year ‘Overlap’ of Prophetic Time that is on ‘Hold’. How so?

One is beginning to surmise that the Count of the Shemitah Jesus started back in 28 AD, is in an Off-Set of the current Sabbath or Shemitah Cycle by 3.5 Years. This being the exact length of Days Jesus had for His Earthly Ministry. Or in other words, the 2nd Half of the complete 7-Year Sabbath Cycle Jesus started is like in Suspended Animation, all this Time since His Death, Burial and Resurrection. And?

The Shemitah Clock will only then Re-Start as the AntiChrist picks-it-up after the Rapture. This would account for the ‘Off-Set’ in the 3.5 Year Discrepancy. So, in other words, the Rapture can still happen before that Time. But the Start of the Tribulation Day-Count would be 3.5 Years out. Now realizing that the Tribulation Period did not start on Rosh HaShanah of 2022 as many thought and calculated, or that it did not start exactly at the Start of the Present Shemitah Cycle. But it still can within the Year.

This is 1 Possibility. Another Possibility is that this ‘Limbo Time’ would continue 3.5 Years from the Fall of 2022, into this 11th Sabbath or Shemitah Cycle. This would put the projected Start of the Tribulation Period then in the Year 2025. It would then line-up with the Research of Dr. Ken Johnson that has studied the Essene Calendar. The Essenes surmised that Jesus Died in 32 AD, as one concurs and based on their Reckoning of Time, the Last Shemitah starts in 2025.

This would then put the Return of Jesus in 2032. Obviously, as one can tell, one is leaving ‘Room’ for a continued quest in Watching and Waiting for the Blessed Hope if this ‘Shemini Thing’ does not pan-out. However, the World, Nations, People and the Body of Christ sense that ‘Something is Up’ and ‘Not Right’. The World is on the verge of Total Collapse. Such Times have come and gone in Human History, but what makes this Time Around so Distinct and Different is that it now Worldwide.

So, if Shemini Atzeret is a ‘Bust’ for the Rapture Timing, the 3.5 Year Overlap Theory is still in Development. As for the Body of Christ? It means that Jesus will continue to reveal more Prophetic Clues as to the Timing of His Call. One likens it to Jesus shifting the Watch of the Guards on the ‘Wall’ further down the ‘Wall’. It is to emphasize particular Signs and/or Observations Jesus wants to show or reveal to the Bride to get her ready.

And as mentioned, it does not mean that the Shemini ‘Rapture’ High Watch Day may still have some Prophetic Mile Marker one is not privy to seeing on this Side of the Rapture Event, perhaps. And until that ‘Last and Great Day’ of the Church Age is Called, Jesus expects His Bride to continue in the Vigil: Waiting, Worshiping, Witnessing and Working as one Wonders at the Amazing Signs being given Above and Below at the End of this Church Age.
