SEPTEMBER, 22ND...IT IS!

Festival of Shelters [Final Harvest]          

RAPTURE will take place on the 22^nd day of the Month of September or the Month of Ethamain/Tishri which is the 7^th month in Hebrew Lunar Calendar and the year is 2 Peter 3:8-10…with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like one day. This is the only festival still appropriate during the Messiah’s reign…Zechariah 14:16, 19. The Passover was fulfilled in Christ’s death; the day of Atonement, in acceptance of Christ’s salvation, the Festival of First Harvest, in His Resurrection and Pentecost, with the arrival of the Holy Spirit. But the Festival of Shelters/Final Harvest, a festival of thanksgiving will celebrate the harvest of human souls for the Lord. Jesus alludes to it in John 4:35…  Do you not say, ‘It is still four months until the harvest comes?’ Look, I say to you, raise your eyes and look at the fields and see, they are white for harvest [Rapture- when believers dead and alive will be withdrawn from the earth prior to a 7-year tribulation]

The Bride , after walking down the aisle and just before she is ready to say the vows, she hands over her bouquet of flowers to the Maid of Honor [MOH]. I perceive that the Bridegroom is waiting for the Bride to walk down the aisle. As the world continues to experience Revelation 6:1-17, things are happening so quickly as the Lord reveals to me. It seems to me that the gospel of salvation has been preached in the four corners of the earth and the Groom [Christ] is readily waiting for His Bride, the Church. I have received a revelation to blow the horn; as a watchman and MOH. As I was praying a dove flew above me with an olive twig in its beak…Luke 21: 29-31…Then He told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees; 30 as soon as they put out leaves, you see it and know for yourselves that summer is near. 31 So you too, when you see these things happening, know [without any doubt] that the kingdom of God is near. Also Genesis 8:11.

The Festive of Shelters [FOS] will last for seven days and on the eighth day, Leviticus 23: 33-36…Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 34 “Say to the children of Israel, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month, and for seven days, is the Feast of Booths (Tabernacles) to the Lord. 35 The first day is a holy convocation (calling together); you shall not do any laborious work [on that day]. 36 For seven days you shall present an offering by fire to the Lord. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation and present an offering by fire to the Lord. It is a festive assembly; you shall not do any laborious work [on that day]…especially verse 36. The FOS occurred in early autumn, on the 15^th day of the 7^th month of the Hebrew calendar known as the month of Etanaim/Tishri…1 Kings 8:3. This calendar occurs today in September-October. This FOS, also known as booths/lean-tos, celebrated God’s protection of Israel as they wondered in the wilderness before entering the Promised Land.

Christians are in this wilderness of the world and are just about to enter the Promised Land [New Jerusalem/heaven]. The purpose of the FOS was to renew their commitment to God and their trust in His guidance and protection. The FOS beautifully coincided with the dedication of the Temple…2 Chronicles 5:3. As the people remembered the wonderings in the wilderness when their ancestors had lived in tents/booths/lean-tos…our earthly bodies are tents and on this day of rapture, they will be folded. They were even more thankful for the permanence of the glorious Temple. The believers will live eternally in the glorious Temple [New Jerusalem] in the continuous presence of their God.

As a tent, the Tabernacle was a portable place of worship designed for the people as they travelled towards the Promised Land. The Temple 1 Kings 8:1, 2, was a permanent place [now, our hearts] to worship God after the Israelites were at peace in their land. So when they brought the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant to the Temple, it signified God’s actual presence there. But in the New Jerusalem, there will be no need of the sun as the Lord’s presence will be our light.

They lived in shelters during the 2-day festival of shelters. The FOS was a special celebration that involved the whole family, teaching all ages about God’s nature and what He had done for them. It was a time of renewed commitment to God. This/now would be the time for you to commit to Christ through repentance if you have not done so. He will be your guide and protection now and to eternity. We owe our lives to God through Christ for what we have become through His protection and guidance.

‘The September prediction will come true and 22^nd is the day of the wedding…,’ Thus says the Spirit of the Living God. Jesus imminent return is a promise to be fulfilled soon…Revelation 22:20…Yes, I AM coming soon/suddenly/quickly…Amen, come Lord Jesus.
