Is it just me, or does anyone else think that it is not like God to be unprecise or sloppy. ?? It's inconsistent with his character.
In other words, I don't see a scenario where we have the rapture and these dates don't line up - unless all the feast dates, appointed times are a total fluke, or that there's no divine pattern - all just randomness.
It would mean that the first four events - Passover, Unleavened bread, firstfruits and Pentecost just accidentally fell on those days, yardstick , like the odds of rolling a "3" on a dice 33 times straight in a row.
For me, that's no more an option than saying the trinity is a fluke,
And the only other scenario, - I'm just trying to imagine here, is that it's like Most Christians actually think [scary]
- They may agree that the first four feasts happened in perfect sequence, but "That was under the law" or before Christ came, and they disregard the 3 Future Fall Feasts as having any significance to Christians/ Not for Us -- so it's basically a version of "the total randomness model" . but this is incorrect because we know from Zechariah that the last Feast - Sukkot is for all the nations of the earth, - Jew and Gentile to be celebrated every year in the Millennial reign. (Also it becomes rather hard for these people to make the case that God is the same yesterday and today and forever. )
What am i missing??
I do not think God is sloppy and agree He is very precise. Nothing is by accident or without reason. Sometimes we are not to know those reasons for they are His to know!
Regarding dates lining up - there are a few other scenarios to consider. I have taken this info from another post where Pastor Thad presents the metonic cycles. I will list only those which have 2550 days:
September 26, 2014 to September 18, 2021
September 22, 2017 to September 14, 2024
September 28, 2022 to September 20, 2029
September 25, 2025 to September 16, 2032
In the time frames above we have to add a 30 day month every 7 times every 19 years to keep the (lunar) calendar in line (with the solar). Mathematically there is a unique 7 year time frame within the 19 year cycle to reconcile 1260 & 1290. Other 7 year cycles (not listed in the above) within 19 year cycles the day counts come out close (several at 2580-ish) but not precise. We are in one of the unique 7 year time frame now.
This cycle suggested in the video D4L presented is from September 20, 2020 to March 20, 2024 (1260) + 1290 arriving at October 20, 2027
What we know - (yes the 4 spring feasts were fulfilled) the 3 fall feasts are not fulfilled yet. We do not know when they will be. It could be in the millennium. they could be fulfilled partially before the millennium or a combo of both. We simply dont know.
I would ask those pondering to consider...the 70th week of Daniel, applies to what audience, Jews or the church?
Jer 31:31 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah,
32 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the LORD. 33 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
The new covenant applies to whom the church or the Jews?
Rom 11:1 I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means!...11 So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather, through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous...15 For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?...17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you.
This covenant made with the Jews which theyve rejected allows those who are not Jews to participate in their covenant being grafted in. The first four feast were feasts of the Jews, as are the final three. Will the rapture of the unnatural branch fulfill a feast?
One other thing to consider is where you place the rapture in any of those date models. There is no proof (sorry JD) that it must take place at the onset of the 70th week. When the Jews rejected the Lord the timeclock in "the game" was paused. As in a soccer match the game continues but there is time to account for injuries adding time to the 90 minute game. We have been in that "injury time" for 2000 years. But the Referee is about to end the injury time (if He hasnt already) and allow the final few minutes of the game to proceed (if He hasnt already).
The church started on a specific day, would it end on a random one? I honestly don't know, but I lean toward "no". FOT seems logical to me, but I know that we won't know until after the fact.
