Here are some thoughts that occurred to me: Are they ever called "fall feasts" in Scripture? Is the equinox ever mentioned in Scripture? Are people to use the equinox, the sun, or the moon to determine when the feasts are? I get that "fall feasts" should take place in the fall and "spring feasts" should take place in the spring. But what if we take that label away? I know that some years need a leap month and that is determined by the barley harvest which is needed for the Passover feasts. Not by an equinox. No leap month was needed this year. So then FOT is the seventh month by moon phase from then. A lot of times FOT happens before the equinox. Am I being too nit picky? It is possible, but I am awake at 2am with all these thoughts. You're not being nitpicky, you're just applying reason as you see it. I think you are right, if the sun was to be the calendar for the feasts then it would be written that way, but it wasn't.

So here is an interesting bit of info. I follow a certain channeler, don't get me wrong, I don't follow her as in adhering to what she says. I did a bunch of research on the new age movement years ago, and came across this woman, I have emailed her about the Lord and what scripture says. We have an ongoing though sporadic dialogue. I pray for her salvation, and in many ways I share her enthusiasm for a world about to change. Of course she sees it from the other side, while I see it from the side of Christ. I read what she channels more to see what the enemy is up to, than for any other reason. I don't advise that others do this, it requires some degree of discernment and is not something to be trifled with.
But with that preface, it is interesting to me that the entities she channels which she calls the "federation of light", which I know to be false light bearers, have been predicting some great event for years, that will take place that will forever change the world and propel mankind into the new earth. I personally believe this event is in fact the rapture. But they always seem to heighten their prediction around the feast of Tabernacles.

rt, I agree, channelers are nothing to be trifled with. I don't want to derail the thread, but I could give you some testimony of my short time living in Sedona, AZ in '88. A harmonic convergence allegedly took place that spring. Let's just say, things were pretty weird there then. As much as I loved the area, I think that may be why God moved us out of there. I was still somewhat impressionable back then.

Kind of interesting that it would be that day. In my mind, if it's going to be a feast day then Pentecost, Trumpets, and Tabernacles would make sense to me. After all, He is going to come take us to be with Him to live forever, to tabernacle with Him.

"The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life......He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus."Rev. 22:17, 20

Just to throw my two cents in.....
This little paragraph ....
6.) The true Semites—Sephardic Jews of Israel and the Muslims of Palestine— will be united by the acknowledgment of their shared oppression and exploitation at the hands of the Zionists.
Once again shows these Anti-Semitic conspiracy groups "blame Zionists"
As I already pointed out HERE
Zionist are the GOOD GUYS............

So someone just pointed something out to me: that there's a hint in John 4:35-44 with Jesus staying with the Gentile Samaritans two days before returning to Jewish Galilee. Two thousand years for the Gentiles then?
4:35 Do you not say, 'There are still four months and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, because they are already white for harvest!" 4:36 And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together." 4:37 Because in this the saying is true: 'One sows and another reaps.'" 4:38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors." 4:39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on Him because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me everything that I ever did." 4:40 So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. 4:41 And many more believed because of His own word. 4:42 Then they said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of what you said, but because we have heard Him ourselves and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world." 4:43 Now after the two days He departed from there and went to Galilee. 4:44 Because, Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

Well, we're getting closer and closer every day. I'm presently looking at Tabernacles Eve and/or Tabernacles Day #1 (this Sunday - Monday) and also Shemini Atzeret (depending on the calendar: 9/30 - 10/2). I'm leaning towards Shemini Atzeret, but here's a thought: Since Tabernacles is a 7 day festival, what if the Church is raptured on Day 1, symbolizing removal before the 7 year Trib (the Church "tabernacles" with God in Heaven - Isa. 26:19-21; Jn 14:1-6). Some interesting things line up if that's a possibility: It would fall on a Sunday, resurrection day of the week, and the day of the week of Pentecost, when the Church began. It would be the 1 year anniversary of Rev 12. If it happened late afternoon or evening our time it would be 9/24 in Israel. The Church is represented by the 24 elders (many believe, anyway ). If Christ was killed in 33 AD then Pentecost was on Sunday, May 24 of 33. Thus the Church Age would begin and end on the 24th of the month. Jesus said "four months till harvest". May - - > September is 4 months. Going by the observable calendar it would instead be Sukkot Eve, which is also interesting being right BEFORE the entire 7 day period. It would also be exceedingly ironic because that's the 1 year anniversary of Rev 12. Millions who mocked would instantly remember the sign, and it's the very day the 1.2 million readers of The New Yorker will see these words in print: "Two men walking up a hill One disappears and one's left standing still I wish we'd all been ready There's no time to change your mind The Son has come and you've been left behind" www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/09/24/the-unlikely-endurance-of-christian-rockYes, you heard that right! I saw it on the front page of Drudge yesterday. The New Yorker is one of the top publications in the country.

As a retired Christian Rock musician, I thought that article was pretty insightful.
Looking at Day 8 now, myself.
[edit] however, I do remember some months ago, after another failed date, saying to someone here: "Maybe God is saying "could you not stay awake just one hour (year)?"". I.e. 1 year marker (warning) from Sept. 23, 2017.

I never made a national act in the Christian genre...local bands doing youth events, opening acts for bigger groups. Honestly, I actually had more success playing secular music, but that was minimal too, and my heart wasn't in it in later years. As much as I chased it (over 30 years), music never panned out for me as a career. Years of investment, but little to show for it. Most rewarding part was serving on worship teams in local churches. I have done that extensively and it has brought me more joy than anything else.

I'll get behind and support this theory :-D I'll even go one further and say there are some that believe that there will be a time of Feast (7 years Feast with Joseph then 7 years Famine) before the 7 year Famine (Jacob's Trouble) [Genesis 45-50]. If Christ was resurrected in 33 AD + 2000 years - 7 year trib = 2026... which leaves us with a potential 7-8 year Feast ending with President Trump's term in Jan of 2025 leading into the next President's term... of Famine?
