Feast of TABERNACLES May Be When the RAPTURE Occurs !!

What evidence is there in favor of the Feast of Tabernacles ?? Well Paul the apostle writes that the holy Old Testamental feast times were prophetic of things to happen in the New Testament times, ie, the Church Age(Colossians 2.16-17; Hebrews 10.1).
Especially the EndTime.  
 As the Church Age is likened to a harvest season, especially the end of it, the Feast of Tabernacles is particularly relevant.  
For it is the celebration of the end of the harvest, the Harvest Home.  
It comes in either early or late October each year.  
Also, the Rapture is likened to a harvest time in Revelation 14.  
So the implication is that the Rapture will come at the time of one harvest or another.  
 Finally there is the matter of the animal sacrifices. There are more animals sacrificed at Tabernacles than at Passover or at Pentecost, the two other holy feast times given in the Law of Moses.
 199 animals (calves, lambs, goats) were slain, offered up as "burnt offerings," peace offerings, etc.  
 All together they made up a vast HOLOCAUST. Now it just so happens that the Rapture will occur at a time of fiery HOLOCAUST !!  
 So you can see that it may well coincide with the greatest holocaust of the Law of Moses !!  
Where does Paul or Peter speak of the Rapture occurring at a time of fiery judgment, you may be asking.  
 Well Paul presents the Rapture at the end of chapter 4, 1st Thessalonians.  
 While "sudden destruction" comes at the very beginning of chapter 5.  
So the Rapture and the sudden destruction are happening TOGETHER.  
Of course brain-dead pastors, etc miss that connection, because like I say they are brain-dead !!  
What kind of thing is this "sudden destruction" ?? Well it happens at a time of war, for the day is called "The Day of The LORD"(1st Thess. 5.2-3). This is a term borrowed from the Old Testament where it ALWAYS refers to the judgment of God coming in the form of war.  
 Don't get me wrong.  
 I'm not saying God always uses war.  
But when He does use war to punish a nation it sometimes is labeled "The Day of the LORD."  
 For example we read "the Day of the LORD is coming for Egypt"(Ezekiel 30.3).  
Then Ezekiel goes on to explain that the armies of Babylon are going to wipe Egypt out(verse 10).  
 Later on we read "the Day of the LORD is coming for Babylon"(Isaiah 13.1,6) in which the armies of the Medes will conquer Babylon(verse 17-18).  
 So again the DOL is shown to be a time of war, war, war.  
 So when we read that the Rapture comes on "the Day of the LORD"(1st Thess. 4.16-5.3) we need to put 2 and 2 together and realize how ominous this passage is !!!  
But so far there is nothing about FIRE.  
To get to that aspect we turn to Peter the apostle's writings.  
You see both Peter and Paul use the same identical phrase:"the Day of the LORD will come like a thief in the night.." They are undoubtedly speaking of the same thing !! Peter throws in about fiery judgment:"the heavens will pass away with a roar, the earth will be burned up"(2nd Peter 3.11-13). While Paul speaks of the suddenness ("sudden destruction") Peter deals with another aspect: fiery destruction. But it's the same event !!  
These are parallel passages !!  
People get thrown off by the fact that Paul is set in the end of the Church Age,  
 while Peter is set at the end of the Millennium.  
(For he speaks of "the new heaven and earth" which comes at the close of the Millennium(Revelation 20).  
 But the Church Age and the Millennium are actually the SAME PERIOD.  
 So Paul's DOL and Peter's DOL can actually coincide after all !!  
No one else will tell you that.  
 
 All the pastors and evangelists are "out to lunch," I'm sorry to say.  
The Catholic Church dumped Augustine's teaching (that the Millennium = the Church Age).  
 Then Luther came along to get rid of the errors of the Catholics, but he FAILED to restore Augustine's view to its rightful place !!  
 Shame on you Luther !!  
Back to the subject in the title of this article:  
"The Rapture may come at the Feast of Tabernacles." Apostle Paul was right about the 3 big feast times being prophetic of things to follow in the New Testament times. Passover was prophetic of Christ's death at Passover as "the Lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world."  
That's the first of the big 3.  
The last is Tabernacles.  
At the close of harvest season.  
 The 199 animals relate to 199 decades for the Church Age.  
 For if we start at 30 AD (time of Christ's Cross/ Resurrection/ Ascension) and add 199 decades we arrive at 2020 !!  
Yes, THIS decade is the end of the Church Age !! About the 199 animals, they may mean 199 saved million souls will depart the world at the time of the nuclear holocaust.  
Which would mean the departure of saved and unsaved together would be greater than 199 million !!  
See Matthew 13.47-49 for two groups departing at the Rapture, NOT one.  
 (The fish are caught up.  
 This points to the Rapture.)  
Or the total may be 199 million, with the saved souls being a subset.  
Now for the Ukraine War and NATO as the RESTRAINER !! Russia is using Ukraine to smear the reputation of NATO.  
Russia says, "Ukraine = the NAZIS."  
So when NATO helps Ukraine, that makes NATO = the NAZIS !!
That is what the Kremlin is teaching the troops !!  
To get them to HATE the West !!
 Because Kremlin plans on invading NATO nations or bombing them.
  
The USA will be bombed but not invaded !!  
We CAN tell when the Rapture will occur !!  
But not in terms of TIME(days; hours) but in terms of CONDITIONS (events, developments, rhetoric).  
 For example, the Rapture will occur when the war comes called "the Day of the LORD"(1st Thess.4.16-5.3).
 This same war is given to us in Rev.13.7.  
But here the reason is given as world conquest:  
 "the Beast is given power over every.. nation" - That adds up to conquest of the world.  
THIS let's us figure out WHO launches the war.  
No ordinary nation can conquer the world.  
For they would face the 2 superpowers at some point !!  
So only a SUPERPOWER nation can conquer the world !!  
 There are only 2 superpowers: USA, Russia.  
We can dismiss the USA because we're not that type.  
 This leaves only RUSSIA as the obvious culprit !!  
   
Next we go to a parallel passage: 2nd Thess.2.3-7. The Antichrist here is called the DESTROYER"("Son of Destruction"). Since we already know from Rev.13.7 that Russia is the predatory nation that will conquer the world ("gaIn power over every..nation"), we can interpret "the Son of Destruction" to mean the ruler of RUSSIA.  
But here's my point: "the RESTRAINER" opposes the bad guy, so it has to be NATO !!  
For NATO has restrained Russian aggression since it was created in 1949.  
Now we read that the Restrainer will be "taken out" at the time of the "revealing of the Destroyer" - which means the time that he launches the attack that destroys NATO !!  
 At the same time the Rapture occurs when the "revealing of the Destroyer" occurs.  
In other words, the Rapture occurs at the same time that the Restrainer(NATO) gets "taken out." My point is that we can use the heating up of the Russian rhetoric against NATO to tell us WHEN Russia will hit the NATO nations !! (which is the time of the Rapture !!  
In short, the Rapture will occur right after Russian propaganda against NATO says NATO must be destroyed !!  
 Because it is helping Ukraine, and "Ukraine is run by Nazis" !! And therefore "NATO equals the Nazis too."  
Since Russia's demonization of NATO has already gone on for several months now, we can assert Russia will take the next step SOON !! There is literally no need for Russia to equate NATO with the Nazis any longer !! (The Russian soldiers have been sufficiently indoctrinated. Enough is enough.)
The next step is for Russia to ACT on that premise: PUNISH NATO, ie, launch war on NATO - because if it equals the Nazis, it has to be destroyed !!  
So you can see that our viewing NATO as "the Restrainer"(2 Thess.2.6-8) enables us to estimate when the Rapture (=Russian Attack) will occur !!
