Is A New Moon A Sign of the Rapture?

Will Rosh Hashanah September 9-11 going to be the time of the rapture?

It is interesting that Jesus Christ said that he will come like a thief in the night. Since a thief abhors any chance of being caught then the very best time to be a 'thief in the night' is when there is a moonless night, namely a New Moon. The New Moon will occur during Rosh Hashanah September 11th..... 9-11 2018.

Additionally if one considers that Lazarus being raised from the dead is, in fact, symbolic of the rapture then Jesus Christ's saying in John 11:9 signifies the time of the rapture.

9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in the daytime will not stumble, for they see by this world’s light. 10 It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light.”

It is only at the equinox of Fall or Spring does the day have 12 hours. Therefore the rapture will happen either in the Fall or Spring when day and night have equal 12 hours. The Fall Equinox for 2018 falls around September 22nd which will coincides with Yom Kippur which is September 18-19

Another point is that when Jesus Christ said that there will be two men working in the field one will be taken (hint: the rapture) and the other left behind and two women will be grinding at the mill - one will be taken (hint: rapture) and one will be left behind. (Matthew 24: 40 -41).

One can conclude that the rapture will take place during the harvest time as the men will be working in the field harvesting and the women will be grinding what is harvested. This coincides with Sukkot - In 2018, the "festival of booths" begins at sundown on Sunday, Sept. 23 and lasts until sundown on Sunday, Sept. 30.

So you see I believe that the rapture, if it were to happen this year, as it is a jubilee year, will occur either just before Rosh Hashanah September 9th when there is a New Moon or around October 9th when there is another New Moon.

So even if the rapture is still a ways off into the future I believe that its occurrence will coincide with Rosh Hashanah - Yom Kippur - and Sukkot each and every year.

Believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and rest assured that you'll be included in the rapture when Jesus will return for his faithful just before mankind's final judgment called the Tribulation and be taken up to heaven to live an eternal existence with God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit.

God Bless

There will be no rapture.
The Church will go through the Time of Jacobs Trouble alongside Israel.

Acts 1:9-11 (KJV)
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Take note: "this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."

"In like manner."

The same way He went UP is the same way He comes DOWN.

He did not ascend, stay in the sky three and one-half years, and then go to His Father. Nor did Jesus ascend and stay in the sky seven years and then go to His Father.

In like manner.

Amen.


I think you mean there will be no pre-trib rapture.

Agreed. This day is not pretrib.
Rev 16:15
“Look, I come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and remains clothed, so as not to go naked and be shamefully exposed.”

But Christ will return.

Yes.


The resurrection and rapture are one event that takes place at His coming.


For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17




What also takes place at His coming is the destruction of the antichrist.


And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
2 Thessalonians 2:8



He will come in like manner.


Every eye will see Him.


For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Mathew 24:27

For the record, I don't believe in the rapture, either. I find no scriptural support to be taken away before the Tribulation/Day of the Lord occurs. I do see that until He comes again that those who watch and pray may be counted worthy to escape these things. That said, I join threads like this due to my astronomical/calendar interests in the seasons and feast days which were prophetic of things to come. So, sometimes I play along without giving my position to debate the timing of things, not so much to uphold a certain doctrine about a rapture.

Hi, tim-from-pa, thank you for taking Donald Trump past 270. Hat's off to all you!

Listen, I don't know if you know but keep an eye on the Theology forum.
I will post on the Gospel in the Stars.

I am an amateur astronomer. Since 3rd grade, I had been waiting on Halley's Comet which arrived November 1985 thru to early 1986. Bought a scope, went to Mount Wilson in Southern California with a friend and binoculars and then I spotted it. I came down from the mountain, as they say, followed it after it went around the sun (now that I knew what to look for - and when I spotted it again from my front yard the comet was placed beautifully in the "cistern" of my birth sign Aquarius.
What a blessing!
What a real waited-for-just-under-a-two-decade blessing!
The Gospel IS in the stars!
