Note: I don't believe in a whisked away rapture. In my opinion, it is a lie of Satan to cause the apostasy. So, talking about the sign of the son of man is not to be taken as promoting a 'rapture date'. Nor it is to be taken as setting a date for Christ's return, which is not possible to determine and may only have a symbolic fulfillment.
Since people on this forum thought that the Sept 23, 2017 star sign was important, like I did and still do, I thought I would share this.
IMO, here is the 'sign of the son of man in heaven', which will occur on Feb 11, 2021.
the sun, Saturn, Jupiter, and Venus form one axis of the cross (with Jupiter & Venus in conjunction), and Mercury and the moon forming the arms of the cross.
the neat thing about this cross sign is that it occurs 3.5 days short of exactly 42 months from Sept 23, 2017's star sign! From 3 Tishri, 5778 to 3 Adar, 5781 (starting at dusk Feb 14, 2021) is exactly 42 months and thus early morning Feb 11, 2021 is 3.5 days shorter. (lunar month is about 29.5 days, multiply by 42 to get roughly 1240/ 1239 days depending on the month www.timeanddate.com/date/dateadded.html?m1=9&d1=23&y1=2017&type=add&ay=&am=&aw=&ad=1240&rec=
So, let's go back to Matt 24
15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, 18 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 19 And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. 23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.
29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
so, the sequence goes:
People in Judea see the abomination of desolation. (this is where the woman of Rev 12 goes into the wilderness for 1260 days/ 'time, times, and half time' - aka 42 months, and the 42 months will start on the winter solstice, then the abomination will probably be available to be seen around 20 days prior, since 1260 days is longer than 1240 days. Thus, the 1260 days of the woman in the wilderness would probably start at 15 Kislev, 5781 (Dec 1, 2020), the historical date for the abomination. 15 Kislev is the abomination statue of Zeus, then on 25 Kislev is when they sacrificed to the statue in the temple according to Maccabbees. the 42 months/ bible months would start on the winter solstice - see verse 20 above.
great tribulation starts shortly thereafter on the winter solstice. Now, if we say that the abomination arrives at Jerusalem on the winter solstice to start the great tribulation, check this out: 6th of Tevet, 5781 (1st day of winter, Dec 21, 2020) add 42 Bible months/ lunar months to get to 6th of Iyyar, 5784 (May 14, 2024) which is Israel's Independence Day/ aka Yom Hatzmaut. www.timeanddate.com/date/dateadded.html?m1=12&d1=21&y1=2020&type=add&ay=&am=&aw=&ad=1240&rec= If we add 1290 days for the abomination start (Dan 12:11-13) to this same date, we get July 3, 2024 www.timeanddate.com/date/dateadded.html?m1=12&d1=21&y1=2020&type=add&ay=&am=&aw=&ad=1290&rec= . (Bible days go from dusk to dusk, so the Gregorian calendar day of 'July 4' in Bible terms would begin dusk the day before, ie dusk July 3.) In other words, we get the US Independence Day. More on this in a bit)
Rev 12
13 And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. 14 But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle so that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time. 15 The serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with a flood. 16 But the earth came to the help of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon had poured from his mouth. 17 Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. And he stood on the sand of the sea.
And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. 2 And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear's, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. 3 One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. 4 And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”
5 And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven. 7 Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, 8 and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain.
When Satan attacks the 'woman' in Judea with the abomination of desolation, then she flees to the wilderness for 42 months. Then, Satan goes to war upon Christians (but we're not quite there yet).
So, the great tribulation has started at Dec 21, 2020. We know that this 'great tribulation' gets cut short because of Matt 24:
21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. 23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.
29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
If that star sign above is indeed the 'sign of the son of man', then we know that it will be over before Feb 11, 2021. "Immediately after the tribulation of those days", then comes the 'sign of the son of man in heaven'. the 'sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken' is a reference to the 6th Seal & the first 4 Trumpets (the stars fall = the 'burning mountain'/ 2nd Trumpet & wormwood/ 3rd Trumpet; powers of heaven are shaken at the 4th Trumpet)
If we say that the great tribulation is over on 24 Sh'vat, 5781 (Feb 6, 2021), we would fulfill the 'immediately after the tribulation of those days (that ended on Feb 6, 2021), then the sign of the son of man would appear 'immediately after' Feb 6 (appearing on Feb 11, 2021).
If we start with Feb 6, 2021 (24 Sh'vat, 5781) and say that these are the events of the first 4 Trumpets, then we would immediately start the 5 months of the 5th Trumpet that would take us to 24 Tammuz, 5781, which is July 4, 2021. This July 4, 2021 would be 245 years after the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. 245 years being the middle of 70 '7's that are broken in the middle thereof (490 years divide by 2 = 245) (Daniel 9:27). This would be when the abomination of desolation is brought to the US, breaking the covenant in the middle of 70 '7's. This would be the start of the 6th Trumpet war and the 1260 days of the 2 witnesses & when Satan wages war on Christians with the beast from the sea & earth.
