Isn’t Feast of Trumpets in the Fall?

September 16, 2018 By Trumpeter Leave a Comment

Yom Teruah 2018

Looking at the calendar for the Fall Feasts, Yom Teruah, which is Hebrew for Feast of Trumpets, fell on September 9th-11th in 2018.  There’s only one problem… that date is still in Summer, not Fall.  Fall doesn’t begin until September 22nd.  So if Yom Teruah is supposed to coincide with the sighting of the crescent of the first new moon in the Fall then the date would have to be October 8th-9th, not September 9th-11th. Is it possible that the Jews made such a mistake when reinstituting their calendar?

What do we know for sure?  From Exodus 12:2 we know that God told Moses and Aaron that Nissan is the first month when Passover would be recognized.  We also know from Leviticus 23:23 that the Feast of Trumpets would be in Tishrei which is the seventh month.  Simple, right? Not really.

Another possibility of how the calendar could be off is related to the Jewish leap year which adds a 13th month called Adar II or Adar Bet which occurs every 19 years to account for the difference between the Jewish 360-day lunar calendar and the Gregorian 365.25 day Solar calendar. This is the Jewish year 5779 which happens to be just such a leap year. Adar and Adar Bet roughy correspond to March and April. So can you now see how adding a thirteenth month can push dates on the calendar out thirty days?

To reiterate, while many of us believe that the Rapture of the Church will take place on Feast of Trumpets, and while many of the pre-tribulation indicators are flashing red, this is not an attempt to set a date and never has been.  Someday soon there will be a trumpet blast and shout from above calling all true believers to ‘come up here’.  Until then, we will continue watching, warning and waiting for our Blessed Hope. Maranatha!

Date Setting and the Rapture

January 7, 2017 By Trumpeter Leave a Comment

Bible prophecy date settingHe will confirm a covenant with many for one `seven.'[1] In the middle of the `seven'[2] he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing [of the temple] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him

Daniel 9:27

 

Matthew 24:36
“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. Mark 13:32 is an exact parallel.

Matthew 24:42
“Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming.

Matthew 24:44
“For this reason you be ready too; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.

Matthew 25:13
“Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour. Mark 13:33-37 is a parallel passage.

Acts 1:7
He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority;

1 Thessalonians 5:1-2
Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you. For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.

There are several passages that do suggest that the faithful believer will not be caught by surprise:
Luke 21:28
Hebrews 10:25
1 Thessalonians 5:4

Let us remember that the Lord has called us to be alert:
Matthew 24:42
Mark 13:35-37

Mark 13:34-37
“And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.” ,

“But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.”

“For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,”

“And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.” Matthew 24:36-3
