Considering 2024 - Is The World Ripe For Rapture?

For me I find the many attempts over the years to look at different possibilities not exhausting. In one sense, I see it as an age that only sees in a mirror dimly excited. And in our excitement, we bumped into stuff and knock things over. lol. But the fact that the excitement is there, is something that actually charms my heart. Not so much the weakness of their flesh to I guess feel self important enough to put too much emphasis on a view they hold.

But I think whe some of the theories put forth there are things I find of interest that may have something to do with rapture concept. But more so some finds have seemingly been something intriguing on differing levels than that rapture. My take is that in part instead of exact dating, I look for trends unveiling things about His character. Something we can know. And possibly some things about end time terrain to generally be aware of too.

So in a way Its like a champaign bottle bursting open with confetti popping out of it going all over the place. Strands of some things related. And strands of distracted. Poppouri-ed together. mozel tov

I was never a big fan of Lee's. But I find him interesting sometimes. This latest video (30 minutes --a which so far i've only heard half of) is an example of mozel tov to me. This persective he gives in Greek (that would also be reflective in Christ's triumphal entry), to me, is a rather huge tell when looking at the transition from the age of grace to the tribulation. Massive. But I don't hold it because of Lee...who i'm sure has been off on his estimates I reckon. But this here in this video I believe is a treasure trove of explainer video (trailer) of features about how He comes that, to me, are far deeper than Lee just seems to use for rapture in the pretrib mode. But this is kind of a good example of strands of poopuri confetti that I believe not only have value...but are archetypal enough to challenge contemporary narratives. Not so much about what day the rapture is, but more in themes of generic prophetic terrain as it relates to God's character. I will probably share on this at some point in the future Lord willing. But the irons in the fire left laying on the table so far from my views have gone far enough there, young man (note to self). Blessings.

 
And that's why we are still here. lol. But yeah I was just throwing something out there for fun. Not to give false hope on a closer horizon. But just to be playful. And keep your spirits high my brother. Hey just wondering...is it commonly excepted that we see the 3 Fall Feasts as days Christ will still yet fulfil when He returns...yes? And if so, in your mind does any of that factor into to any timing whatsoever? Just curious. You speak you mind. And you have seen a lot. So yeah, just askin. :)
Agree, fall feasts will be fulfilled upon His second coming.

Do they factor in as for the timing - perhaps, but the most important factor to consider is Roman’s 11:25. When the fullness of gentiles has come in, a date at which only God can know, then the rapture happens

Romans 11:25
25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.

Fall feasts

5) Trumpets (Leviticus 23:24) – The first of the fall feasts. Many believe this day points to the Rapture of the Church when the Messiah Jesus will appear in the heavens as He comes for His bride, the Church. The Rapture is always associated in Scripture with the blowing of a loud trumpet (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and 1 Corinthians 15:52).

6) Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:27) – Many believe this prophetically points to the day of the Second Coming of Jesus when He will return to earth. That will be the Day of Atonement for the Jewish remnant when they "look upon Him whom they have pierced," repent of their sins, and receive Him as their Messiah (Zechariah 12:10 and Romans 11:1-6, 25-36).

7) Tabernacles or Booths (Leviticus 23:34) – Many scholars believe that this feast day points to the Lord’s promise that He will once again “tabernacle” with His people when He returns to reign over all the world (Micah 4:1-7).

You know what? Thanks Andy. I have heard varying perspectives on Romans 11:25, As I read your post, I believe something very basic stood out. I think over time I was leaning toward the time Israel repents at the end of the tribulation to be that time. Knowing there will be gentiles coming to God then too. But as I think about now, wow, yeah this looks rather connected to the rapture timing. Because it makes sense that "the fullness of the times" would have it more meaning if this does speak of the rapture. Actually I had not thought so before. But yes, it does look like an express (in context) more than technically looking like the technically last gentile and then the end. Because it looks like, in context, the time we change places Thanks :) The context being it spoken to the gentiles, and Jews hearing too. But the focus interestingly enough is served up in context of Israel. And by understanding it this way (with understanding it to be a context for them), leads us to see how profoundly it also means something very profound for us. Blessings.
