This end times prophecy deception is about Jesus words regarding His return,
“But of that day and hour no one knows.” Matthew 24:36
Read literally, it’s understandable why people think it’s a heresy to claim to know when Jesus will return. And Satan doesn’t want Christians to understand it.
Ironically, Jesus spoke those words to tell spirit-led believers when He would return.
Christians over the centuries have separated themselves from the teachings about God’s appointed Holy Feast days, causing them to not understand their importance in regard to Jesus second coming.
Jesus said “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.” Matthew 15:17
The word “Feast” is translated from the Hebrew word “moed”, which means appointment.
Passover pointed to the Messiah as our Passover lamb whose blood was shed for our sins.
Unleavened Bread pointed to the Messiah’s sinless life (as leaven is a picture of sin in the Bible).
First Fruits pointed to the Messiah’s resurrection as the first fruits of the righteous. (1 Cor. 15:20)
Pentecost represented God pouring out His Holy Spirit on Jesus disciples.
Trumpets represents Jesus return for His bride, where trumpets are blown and the elect are taken up.
Atonement occurs ten days after the Feast of Trumpets, when Christ will judge His Church.
Tabernacles occurs fifteen days after the Feast of Trumpets, when we celebrate the wedding feast.
The first four feast days were fulfilled by Jesus at the exact times that God foretold. For example, on Passover:
God commanded the sacrificial lamb to be inspected for several days, to verify it was blemish-free;
Jesus was inspected by the Jewish leaders, Pilate and Herod, and no blemish was found.
God commanded the sheep to be brought into the temple courtyard on the early morning of Passover;
In the early morning of Passover, Jesus was brought into the temple courtyard;
God commanded the sheep to be bound at 9am, for preparation for their sacrifice;
Jesus was bound to the cross at 9am.
God commanded the priest to sacrifice the lamb at 3pm and say “It is finished”;
Jesus took His last breath at 3pm and said “It is finished.”
Praise Jesus that He is fulfilling the appointed feasts in exacting detail.
Knowing that Jesus is exact in His fulfillment of prophecy, and knowing that the Feast of Trumpets represents Jesus return for His bride, we know the context of Jesus return.
“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed”
1 Corinthians 15:51-52
“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
Is it not logical that Jesus will return during the Feast of Trumpets?
To validate that, let’s look at what Jesus told us in Matthew 24:36.
“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.”
He was using a common Jewish expression which referred to a specific Feast of the Lord. In essence He was saying, “I am coming on the Feast of Trumpets!”
This idiom was used by a groom when asked when his wedding would be. So the groom after finding a woman to marry, would then arrive at his father’s estate, in which it could take up to two years to build.
Then it was his father that would tell him when his preparations on the bridal chamber were completed and it was time. They then would go and retrieve the bride around the fall, which is know as “The Time of Return.”
Every fall, the men from battle would return home with their King, as well as the farmers. This Jewish Idiom was said hundreds of years before Jesus used it, as it was a popular saying that meant,
“Prepare for a wedding feast and to be called out of the house to meet the groom.”
So this idiom is telling us that our Messiah will return for His bride on the Feast of Trumpets.
The Feast of Trumpets is the only Holy Feast Day (appointed time) that no man knew exactly when it would occur.
The Feast of Trumpets occurs on the first day of the Hebrew month of Tishri, which is based on the lunar cycle.
Because a New Moon occurs every 29.5 days, the starting day of the Feast of Trumpets changes every year.
The Jewish priests had to observe the skies each day to confirm the new moon.
The illuminated part of the moon decreases in size until it’s not visible. Then a “new moon” occurs, which then increases to a full moon.
The Israelite priests had no way to know which hour it was officially considered “new.”
Just as Jesus said, NO ONE knew the exact moment that the new moon occurs.
To play it safe, the priests made it a 2-day event to be sure that the new moon occurs on one of the two days.
It could occur in a late hour of the first day or an early hour of the second day, so by making the feast two days, they’re sure it happens on one of the days.
Does it make sense that Christians should celebrate the three remaining feasts?
Do you see anything that’s not biblical about this explanation about Jesus return on the Feast of Trumpets?
Do you see that it’s not a heresy to know what day Jesus said that He would return?
We celebrate Jesus birth and His death on the cross and resurrection, so we should definitely celebrate the feast that represents His return for His bride.
Since the Feast of Atonement occurs 10 days after the Feast of Trumpets, we should fast and pray, so that we are pure and holy, and dressed in white.
Since the Feast of Tabernacles occurs 15 days after the Feast of Trumpets, we should celebrate the day that we will be united to Jesus forever.
You can see that the wedding feast does not occur until Jesus second coming, so that invalidates the teaching from some Pastors that Christians will be raptured before the supposed 7 year tribulation, and will celebrate the wedding feast, while the world is under great tribulation.

The Pretribulation Rapture Myth
I think the saying about not knowing the day or the hour was because they started following the lunar calendar.
God’s calendar for by the sun and is 364 days a year.
Look into the Zadok / Enoch calendar. This explains thinks perfectly.
All the feasts have a set date and on God’s calendar, these feasts do not change. They are always on the same day.
It’s amazing.
Praise God.
John, Messiah seems to be pointing to the first day of the seventh month, the Feast of Trumpets, which represents His return. The Jews did not know if the celestial new moon took place late one day or early the next day, so they did not know the day or hour. So they set aside two days to wait to confirm the new moon day with the sighting of the sliver crescent moon on the evening on the New Moon Day. It is amazing, praise Yah!
The Daniel prophecies is what originally led me here. My thoughts on that seemed to flow with your thorough explanations. After reading several of your articles I can’t say that I agree with most of your thoughts, and that’s fine because I don’t want to debate. You made compelling points. That being said, I see where you commented to a comment that the name of Jesus is not a salvation issue. I could not agree more. It appears however from my perception after reading some of your articles that you are saying my personal relationship with Jesus and God is not real because I’m deceived about “biblical facts” and therefore this is a salvation issue. Is this correct?
Brandi, I’m not sure which articles you’re referring to, but I rarely make statements about the validity of people’s salvation. I’ve said that Catholics are taught that salvation is through the sacraments, which is a works-based salvation. But salvation is not by works, it’s by faith in the atoning work of Messiah. We obey out of love for Messiah, not to earn salvation.
Hello David
You say that the teaching that we shall be raptured just before the GT is deceptive teaching. How do you arrive at that when the contract between the Bride and Bridegroom is drawn up, but no consummation, and then when the Father says to the Son (Galilean Jews only) you may go and get your bride then there is the wedding feast. Jesus fulfilled the contract with His bride on the Cross, He paid the bride price as every good Bridegroom does, but He cannot take His bride until His Father says so, and the Father only says so, when the House He is preparing is 100% finished. I think you may have misunderstood Galilean weddings as opposed to Judean weddings. The Galilean wedding is the ONLY eastern type to have this, and that is why so many believers get it all wrong. There will be the rapture, then the Great Tribulation, then Jesus will return with His bride.
Hello Jo, the concept of a pretribulation raptures is based on the false concept of a futuristic 70th week of Daniel 9. The 70th week of Daniel 9 prophecy foretold when Messiah would appear to carry out His ministry, and when (in the middle of the 70th week) He would confirm the everlasting covenant (that was mentioned in Daniel 9:4) with His blood as the Passover Lamb, to atone for our sins. It’s not about the end times or the antichrist. That is a deception from the enemy. https://70thweekofdaniel.com
The Wedding feast after the actual marriage is like a reception. We get married in heaven with Messiah on his birthday wedding, which is FOT event too -9/11/3 bc ( 9/11/ 2018 ) this year, as Israel the fig tree turns 70, and has no fruit of repentance but wants a temple . So God didn’t come to bring peace this next advent, but DIVISION, between those who are his new creation, and those who are not. The remnant born again are Rev 3: 10, Luke 21: 34, Rev 12: 3-5. ( later in Rev 12 u see Israel and Gentiles trib saints who repent.)http://www.askelm.com/star/index.asp chapters 4-6 esp
So you’re saying that Messiah is coming back on 09/11/18? Do you believe that represents a pre-trib rapture, and that people will be left behind to face the wrath of Elohim, through the seals, trumpets and bowls of Revelation?
The feast of trumpets occurs before before before Atonement ( the 2nd coming ) and before Tabernacles ( 1000 reign of Messiah ). You got all that info correct, then you mix up the order of the feasts, cuz you don’t understand the church remnant is exempt from the Time of Jacob ‘S Trouble? Brother! Study All the names and corresponding issues with Trumpets, Yom Hadid and so on, then u will understand. Please note the hell coming fot thise who have not rested (Mathew 11: 28-30, Heb 3-4, Gal 3-4, Rev 10, Gen 21, Pslam 95 and Psalm 2, Joel, cuz a great division is coming!) 1984: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgJ8N7_TuUX89toovNS1kSJabmnpvUhmv
The time of Jacob’s Trouble was fulfilled in the 1st century, when 1.1 million Jews died in and around Jerusalem from famine, pestilence, infighting, suicide, crucifixion and by the Roman sword. http://theolivetdiscourse.com/the-great-tribulation-of-matthew-24/
Quick question.. I was reading through the comments and you claimed that Jesus Christ is a pagan name. But you use the name Jesus in your title, and many times after that, which is confusing? Take this into consideration: Some people claim that our Lord should not be referred to as “Jesus.” Instead, we should only use the name “Yeshua.” Some even go so far as to say that calling Him “Jesus” is blasphemous. Others go into great detail about how the name “Jesus” is unbiblical because the letter J is a modern invention and there was no letter J in Greek or Hebrew.
Yeshua is the Hebrew name, and its English spelling is “Joshua.” Iesous is the Greek transliteration of the Hebrew name, and its English spelling is “Jesus.” Thus, the names “Joshua” and “Jesus” are essentially the same; both are English pronunciations of the Hebrew and Greek names for our Lord. (For examples of how the two names are interchangeable, see Acts 7:45 and Hebrews 4:8 in the KJV. In both cases, the word Jesus refers to the Old Testament character Joshua.)
Changing the language of a word does not affect the meaning of the word. We call a bound and covered set of pages a “book.” In German, it becomes a buch. In Spanish, it is a libro; in French, a livre. The language changes, but the object itself does not. As Shakespeare said, “That which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet” (Romeo and Juliet, II:i). In the same way, we can refer to Jesus as “Jesus,” “Yeshua,” or “YehSou” (Cantonese) without changing His nature. In any language, His name means “The Lord Is Salvation.”
As for the controversy over the letter J, it is much ado about nothing. It is true that the languages in which the Bible was written had no letter J. But that doesn’t mean the Bible never refers to “Jerusalem.” And it doesn’t mean we cannot use the spelling “Jesus.” If a person speaks and reads English, it is acceptable for him to spell things in an English fashion. Spellings can change even within a language: Americans write “Savior,” while the British write “Saviour.” The addition of a u (or its subtraction, depending on your point of view) has nothing to do with whom we’re talking about. Jesus is the Savior, and He is the Saviour. Jesus and Yeshuah and Iesus are all referring to the same Person.
The Bible nowhere commands us to only speak or write His name in Hebrew or Greek. It never even hints at such an idea. Rather, when the message of the gospel was being proclaimed on the Day of Pentecost, the apostles spoke in the languages of the “Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene” (Acts 2:9–10). In the power of the Holy Spirit, Jesus was made known to every language group in a way they could readily understand. Spelling did not matter.
We refer to Him as “Jesus” because, as English-speaking people, we know of Him through English translations of the Greek New Testament. Scripture does not value one language over another, and it gives no indication that we must resort to Hebrew when addressing the Lord. The command is to “call on the name of the Lord,” with the promise that we “shall be saved” (Acts 2:21; Joel 2:32). Whether we call on Him in English, Korean, Hindi, or Hebrew, the result is the same: the Lord is salvation.
Thank you for your comment Michaela! I use the Hebrew names of Yahuah for the Father and Yahusha for the Son, but I know that the Greek name Jesus has been used for many years. I don’t condemn people for using the Greek variant of Messiah’s name, nor do I consider it a salvation issue.
As for this website, it’s a prophecy fulfillment website, so my goal is to help people learn the true fulfillment, so that they can see the enemy’s deception.
If I were to use the name Yahusha, I would just be giving people a reason to click away and they would not learn.
In the Falling Away of 2 Thessalonians 2 series, I cover the names of the Father and Son; and I trust the Spirit to guide people to that truth when they are ready to receive it. http://christianitybeliefs.org/the-falling-away/the-names-of-the-father-and-the-son/
I hope that makes sense. Grace and peace to you!
It is actually YAHUSHA not Yeshua or Yahshua .it is Yahhuah Yahsha Yahusha
Do u think he’s coming back tonight
Thank you for watching that video and responding. I’ve read so many of your articles since I’ve discovered your site this past week (which I found from Googling info on that video).
I appreciate your evident love of the truth, your humble love for your neighbor and your willingness to obey what must be Yahuah’s direction to research and present all this awesome information. Thanks and Elohim bless you!
Have you seen the upcoming constellation line-up for 9-23-2017? It is Revelations 12:1,2:
https://www.youtube.com/shared?ci=WEL7tJvfGOM
“And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of 12 stars. And she was pregnant and crying out, having birth-pains and the struggle of giving birth.”
21 minute video. I’m not agreeing with the narrator’s doctrine, but the stars witness doesn’t lie. Pretty cool.
Thanks for the information Lisa. Yes, I’ve watched the video and seen the information.
The amazing part to me is that on Nov. 20, 2016 Jupiter (the king planet) will enter the virgin’s (Virgo’s) womb for 42 weeks (gestation of a human baby). This is the first time in creation that this sign will take place, where Jupiter retrogrades in its orbit, to stay in the womb during the 42 weeks.
Then after a total solar eclipse on Aug. 20, 2017, Jupiter exits the womb.
And then on Sept 23, 2017. Virgo will again be clad with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
This is definitely a sign to watch closely, as we await the glorious return of our Messiah.
We need to watch as the 6th bowl and 7th bowl of Revelation 16 are fulfilled, to see if the timing lines up with this sign in the heavens. http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/the-sixth-bowl-of-revelation-16/
As for his doctrine, I strongly oppose Paul Sides, aka Rav Sha’ul, teachings about Messiah being 100% human and sinful. http://ravshaulexposed.com
It was revealed to me by God that Jesus will return on The Feast of Trumpets. I am certain of this. I don’t know the year but The Feast of Trumpets is the most significant date in the future of out world
I agree Woody that Messiah will return on the Feast of Trumpets, as that is what this article says. 🙂
