I was just telling my family about some interesting observations. And they must be true because I read them on FR! This is from memory, and I’m no expert, so take with some room for error.

In the Bible, Jesus did SOMETHING on all of the Jewish festival days.

Except for the Feast of Trumpets.

The interesting thing about the Feast of Trumpets, the time it happens changes from year to year. It is a fall festival IIRC, and is based on the moon and stars, so can vary quite a bit - even the month IIRC. (”No one knows the day”)

Also, it begins when the sun rises as observed from Jerusalem - and needs to be confirmed by two people. So, depending on cloud cover, the day, etc. “No one knows the hour.”

Also, where it talks (Revelation?) about Jesus appearing with a blast of the trumpet (Feast of Trumpets).

I think there was more perhaps. But interesting things to contemplate. Not that I get worked up about it, but I do find it interesting.

My old man got me a book way back when: “99 Reasons why the Rapture will be in 1988” or somesuch. The interesting thing is, my old man (RIP) got to meet Jesus in 1988. And who knows, maybe I’ll get to meet Him tonight. Although I can’t say that I would be glad to meet him. (My dad was!)

“...and that the end of the world will take place five months later on October 21.”

Heh. I always figured the Tribulation would be a hard time - a real trial. Five months doesn’t seem too bad. I could tough it out through a lot of things for five months I think. (Well, demons shoving pitch forks under my fingernails, perhaps not.)
