Rapture 2020: The Feast of Trumpets

[Rapture and End Times]

The Feast of Trumpets starts on September 18, and points to the time of the Rapture. In this post, we explore some of the main prophetic points of this Holy Day. Are we approaching the time when the gates of heaven will be opened? https://raptureandendtimes.com/2020/03/12/rapture-2020-the-feast-of-trumpets/

Wow. Very impressive, Rapture and End Times. I read many of your articles, lots of good information.

As far as Rapture 2020 the Feast of Trumpets, there is something that you should consider. You have said that Jesus fulfilled the 4 spring feasts. I don't think that is true. Yes, He fulfilled the 1st three feasts and yes the Holy Spirit was sent to the Church on Pentecost, but I don't think that Pentecost is a fulfilled feast. Pentecost is a harvest feast, the early summer wheat harvest. No harvest has occurred and as such, Pentecost is unfulfilled. I think it is very likely that the Church is raptured on the Feast of Pentecost.

The dead in Christ will rise first, barley harvest. Then God brings those believers with Him when the wheat harvest occurs.

Another thing to consider is those 144,000 1st first fruits. Those 144,000 1st fruits are a guarantee of a harvest of the 12 tribes across the earth. When the fullness of the Gentiles comes in (pretrib rapture) part of Israel will have it's blindness removed. Those are the 12 tribes across the earth. The nation of Israel does not have it's blindness removed at this time. The will stay on the earth during the wrath of God. 1/3 will flee to a place of protection when the abomination of desolation occurs.

So it is the 12 tribes that are across the earth that will likely be raptured at the last trump on the Feast of Trumpets. He sends His angels to gather His elect from heaven and earth. The Church will be gathered from heaven, as they will have been raptured in a secret rapture at the trump of God, when the Lord Himself comes. The Church spends 7 years in heaven at the wedding feast just as Noah is in the ark 7 days before the flood. The 12 tribes are gathered from the earth when all eyes see the coming of the Lord. At that time the wrath of God begins. Time, times and half a time. The very day Lot left Sodom destruction came.

Plan to read more of your articles. That's a lot of work. Well done.

There are other things to consider. I think it's what makes end times so diverse and debating. As we get closer these things will become clearer.

 The silver trumpets sounded when the camp was to leave in the wilderness and for meetings of the elders or of the whole camp.  The feasts shofar sounded at specific times for specific purposes, The silver trumpets where to sound at anytime. The last trump was for the southern camp to leave, the camp before that was the east camp. 

And for interest and fun; The dead where buried east of Jerusalem and the people mostly lived on the south of Jerusalem. Those that are alive and remain will not proceed those who are asleep.

The trumpets of Revelation may have nothing to do with the feast of trumpets and more to do with a battle plan like in Jericho. The trumpets at Jericho were specified to be shofars so it's possible the last trump in Revelation has nothing to do with the last trump of God. But maybe it does. haha. The last trump may be a silver trumpet blast when the Lord wills and not set for any specific feast.

Numbers 10. 

We need to focus a bit more on readiness and less on specific timing. Although there is timing.

Here's a good timing passage, 'The sun will turn to darkness and the moon to blood 'BEFORE' that great and glorious day come." Peter in Acts 2. emphasis mine.

 Feast of Trumpets is a Jewish  celebration, where men blow the trumpets. 

The Seven Trumpets, (of which I believe the last is the seventh), is blown by angels.

Agreed. It is also one of the feasts that God told them to keep. The Jews that are across the earth will understand that the last trump is blown on the Feast of Trumpets and they will know that it will be the time of their rapture. They will be looking up for their redemption and they will be redeemed from the earth before the wrath of God begins.

Agreed. The 7 trumpets are blown by angels and signal Gods wrath to be poured out. Since Gods people are not appointed to His wrath we know these trumpets have nothing to do with God coming for His people.

We do know what the Bible says ... that the "Wrath of God" is released in the 7 Bowls at the moment the 7th Trumpet is blown!

At the 7th Trumpet we do know what happens - lots:

* The mystery of God is revealed (Rev.10:7)

* The Kingdoms of the world have become the kingdoms of our Lord ... (Rev. 11:15)

* Christ is worshiped by the 24 Elders

* Wrath comes (Rev. 11:18)

* The Dead are judged  and the servants are rewarded (Rev. 11:18) >>> Implying we just got raptured!

* The Temple of God is opened. (Rev. 11:19)  >>> this implies we just arrived.

* Lightning, thunder, a great earthquake and great hail.

 

No, we aren't appointed to wrath, but tribulation, yes. If you talked to a Christian living in Sudan or any Muslim country, you would know that persecution and tribulation has been common. The expansion of Islam throughout history has been by force, not love. They war, pillage and plunder, take over the territory and make their demands. Many millions are forced to flee, leave their jobs, homes and live with nothing or else face death. If they choose to stay and fight and are captured. They are forced to denounce Jesus and receive Allah, if not, they chop their heads off. Let me ask you, is there any tribulation greater than that?

No, we don't know that. This something that you think you know, but we can easily prove your assumption is incorrect.

No, that's not what the Word says. Let's check.

Rev 10

⁷ But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

It says the mystery of God is finished. Complete. Done. Concluded. Finalized.

That means the WRATH OF GOD IS OVER.

Right. The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord. Jesus has returned.

ARMAGEDDON HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. It's over. It's done. It's completed. It's finished.

1 hour ago, RonaldBruno said:

Not only has wrath come, it's over. It's concluded. It's complete. When the 7th angel begins to sound the mystery of God is FINISHED. The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord. Jesus has returned, and Armageddon has happened.

1 hour ago, RonaldBruno said:

No it does not imply we got raptured? The Church has already been rapture before any seals have been opened.

Rev 5

⁹ And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

¹⁰ And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

Then we also have the great multitude in Rev 7. This multitude is in heaven before the 7th seal is opened.

Rev 7

⁹ After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

So what you see at the end of Rev 11 is what happens AFTER wrath is OVER. The raptures have already happened in previous chapters.

I don't think that is what that implies as we have already been before the throne prior to Rev 11:19

Rev 7

⁹ After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

1 hour ago, RonaldBruno said:

Yep. Lightning, thunder, a great earthquake and great hail. And also voices.

Rev 11

¹⁹ And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

What a coincedence. We see the same Lightning, thunder, a great earthquake and great hail, and voices in Rev 16. I wonder why? Hmmm. The mystery of God is finished in Rev 11. It sounds like it's finished in Rev 16. How can that be?

Rev 16

¹⁸ And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

Rev 16

²¹ And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

Yeah there is. It's known as the great tribulation.

Matt 24

²¹ For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

The "mystery of God" scripture is about Jesus, the consummation of our redemption, that we will be like him, see Him face to face. This mystery confounded the Jews who were blinded. Their blindness will also be lifted and thus upon our rapture, the mystery of God will be revealed.

The sound of the 7th Trumpet releases the 7 Bowls. "... Your wrath has come" Rev. 11:18. " Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God ..." Rev. 15:7

That is the Pre-Trib view. Revelation is not in chronological order. The trumpets and bowls fall within the seals. God shows us different vantage points, goes back and forth, as in a multi-dimensional, transparent sphere of events is turned seeing different events inside in relation to each other.

The point was we are not exempt from tribulation, great or small, just wrath. But hey, I would prefer the Pre-Trib view, I just don't believe it. I'm more of a Mid-Trib/Pre-Wrath viewer. And so since we differ in views, it's like an insurmountable wall - not worth scaling.
