Hanukkah Rapture, December 17/18 or Bust
My life since October 9th has been a bit like Marvin
After much investigation I think I figured out the mystery of the missing Kaboom!
What if Hanukkah was really a second Tabernacles? Evidence from Second Maccabees seems to suggest that is what they were celebrating and why Hanukkah lasts 8 days. The 8th day being an Atzeret! I had previously written off Hanukkah as a “man created feast”, but after this study and the connection to Israel’s 1948 founding on the Atzeret of Second Passover making Israel’s 80th Birthday on the Atzeret of Second Passover in 2028 which is exactly 1260 days from the Atzeret of Hanukkah (aka second Tabernacles).
With this understanding everything that I have documented about Yah raising us up on the Atzeret, the “Last Day”, the 8th day (aka the 1st day of a week), and connecting to Tabernacles can be transferred to the 8th day of Hanukkah, which just happens to be the 70th day from October 9th, and exactly 1260 days from Israel’s 80th Lunar birthday. All of this also places the timing on the Full Moon New Moon day.
I have spent 7 months researching and sharing what I can deduce about the coming tribulation. There are 5 independent prophecies that point to 2024 being the start of the tribulation, and we are rapidly running out of interpretations of scripture compatible that conclusion. This means that we are either very close or must go back to the drawing board and reconsider what those prophecies mean.
With this latest perspective, I find it even more compelling than my prior Day’s of Noah which have now clearly been proven a misunderstanding. Since October 9th I have been guilty of looking at each potential day and trying to justify how it might be connected to scripture. I have previously condemned others for this exact same behavior. I do my best to revisit my past interpretations and see what “logic” was invalid.
Nothing fit all of the data and I had to re-interpret all of the “last day”, “8th day”, and “atzeret” scriptures to point to the second resurrection because I just didn’t know what to do with them. But now, all scriptures are coming into alignment better than I have seen to date.
What about the Days of Noah?
And the waters (people) decreased (fall, failed) continually until the 10th month: in the 10th month, on the 1st day of the month, the tops (head, leaders, best, choice) of the mountains (nations) were seen (joyfully meet, be near). — Genesis 8:5
Fig Tree Generation
Yeshua said that the generation that sees “the fig tree put forth leaves” shall not pass away until after the desolation of the abomination at the midpoint of the tribulation. The fig tree is a symbol of Israel and it became a nation at midnight on May 14th, 1948. Psalm 90:10 tells us that a generation is 80 years, therefore, we have a strong deadline on Israel’s 80th birthday.
My understanding is that the 1260 days of the two witnesses where the sun is clothed in sackcloth must occur within these 80 years. Going off of the Gregorian calendar solar years, the 1260 must start by December 1st; however, there is a strong case to be made that we should be using Biblical lunar years.
Using the traditional “dark/sliver moon” calendar, Israel became a nation on the 4th/5th day of the 2nd month, which is May 1st, 2028. If you subtract 1260 days from this date you end up with November 18, 2024 which has already passed. So either 2024 isn’t the year, or the sliver moon isn’t the calendar.
Using the “full moon” calendar that I believe the Bible supports puts Israel’s 80th Birthday on midnight May 29th, 2028 in Israel. Subtracting 1260 days and you arrive at Midnight on New-Full Moon day, between the 7th and 8th daylight of Hanukkah on December 16th/17th.
“For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey. He took with him a bag of money and will not return till the moon is full.” — Proverbs 7:19–20
John 10:23–36
At that time the Feast of Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter, 23and Jesus was walking in the temple courts in Solomon’s Colonnade. 24So the Jews gathered around Him and demanded, “How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
And they cried out in a loud voice, “How long, O Lord, holy and true”… Revelation 6:10, 5th Seal
25“I already told you,” Jesus replied, “but you did not believe. The works I do in My Father’s name testify on My behalf. 26But because you are not My sheep, you refuse to believe. 27My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me. 28I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch (harpazō, rapture) them out of My hand. 29My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch (harpazō, rapture) them out of My Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”
…
34Jesus replied, “Is it not written in your Law: ‘I have said you are gods’? 35If he called them gods to whom the word of God came — and the Scripture cannot be broken — 36then what about the One whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world? How then can you accuse Me of blasphemy for stating that I am the Son of God?
At the time of the Feast of Dedication, Yeshua referenced Psalm 82 where it says “You are gods, you are all sons of the Most High”.
Psalms 82
1God presides in the divine assembly; He renders judgment among the gods: 2“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked Selah
3Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed. 4Rescue the weak and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked. 5They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. 6 I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’ 7But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall.” 8 Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your inheritance.
The feast of Dedication, Hanukkah, is on the Anniversary of the Daniel 11’s appalling abomination which most connect to when a statue of Zeus was setup and a pig slaughtered. This is recorded as the 25th of the 9th month.
Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to Him, we ask you, brothers, 2not to be easily disconcerted or alarmed by any spirit or message or letter seeming to be from us, alleging that the Day of the Lord has already come. 3Let no one deceive you in any way, for it will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness — the son of destruction — is revealed. 4He will oppose and exalt himself above every so-called god or object of worship. So he will seat himself in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. — 2 Thes 2
These hints could be pointing us to the rapture and the Day of the Lord occurring on the around the appointed time connected to the date a false god was set up in the temple. 1260 days from the start of Hanukkah and the anniversary of the idol and abomination takes you to Second Passover where the Anti-Christ could very well set himself in the temple, declare himself to be God, and kill the two witnesses.
In the Second Book of Maccabees (not included in the canon of the Tanakh) we read that upon reclaiming the Temple an eight-day celebration followed “in the manner of the Feast of Booths (Sukkot) remembering how not long before, during [Sukkot], they had been wandering like wild beasts in the mountains and the caves’’ (10:6–8). The text goes on to talk about their lifting up palm fronds (the lulav). While it could be a coincidence that Sukkot (an eight-day festival including Sh’mini Atzeret) is mentioned in connection to another eight-day celebration taking place two months later, it most likely is not. It seems as though the Maccabees and their followers missed the Festival of Sukkot because they were fighting, and upon the end of their battle, they celebrated the neglected festival.
This is a massive discovery. I had always written off Hanukkah as a “man-decreed” feast with a questionable miracle and traditions that appear to add to the Torah. However, in light of Yah providing a second Passover and Israel becoming a nation on the Atzeret of the Second Passover, and 1260 days going to the Atzeret of the “second Sukkot/Tabernacles, aka Hanukkah” and we start to have a very compelling pattern.
All of a sudden, all of the scriptures that previously pointed me to the 8th day of Sukkot can just as well point to the 8th day of Hanukkah. But now we also get to connect it with the Husband returning on the Full Moon and 1260 days until Israel turns 80.
If you add 1260 days from the midpoint, you arrive on the 11th day of the 8th month. This is an unusual date for the tribulation to end. It is close to the day Noah entered the Ark (as the days of Noah). Searching the scriptures for things that happened in the eleventh of the eight month I came upon this verse. With a simple substitution of a “day for a year” the verse is a perfect fit.
In his eleventh year (aka day) and eighth month, the month of Bul, the temple was finished in every detail and according to every specification. So he built the temple in seven years. — 1 Kings 6:38
Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? — 1 Cor 3:16
The 11th day of the 8th month is also the start of Gregorian 11/11/31 (midnight) or the 11th day of the of the 8th month… 2nd day Noah in the Ark (Masoretic Text). So everyone who has been seeing 11:11 constantly might still be on to something!
Signs in the Stars
Around noon in Israel on the 18th, which is 2–5AM in the USA.. the moon is in conjunction with Mars in the constellation “Cancer” which the Hebrew name is Sartan and represents an Eagle carrying a snake and not a crab. This is just about 6 hours after the end of Hanukkah when you factor in the day starting at first light.
So we have the Red Planet, Mars, commonly associated with War, just entering retrograde in conjunction with the Full Moon in a constellation that is connected to a sword according to the Hebrew Mazzaroth.
The moon happened to be in Cancer when Israel became a nation and will be in Cancer again at the Atzeret on Second Passover.
Add 80 solar years, Sunday, May 14, 2028 at 11:59:00 pm
Add 80 lunar years to get 21st of 2nd month
Subtract 1260 days takes you to December 16th, 2024 a Full Moon “New Month Day”, the night between the 7th and 8th day of Hanukah. Gemini represents the number 11, transformation.
Rationalization?
The past 40 days since the October 9th miss has caused me to search and consider many different theories. I have shared these theories with the community just in case they help someone else in the search for understanding. The result of presenting several different theories is that they get proven wrong and people start to wonder if you can make “any date” work. Where is the line between legitimate theory and evidence and “rationalization”.
I maintain that my understanding of 2024 as the year is very strong and so I have been grasping at straws trying to figure out why we have made it so far into 2024 and past all the feast days and the start of the flood and nothing to show.
This latest hypothesis is the last possible date that is compatible with my understanding of 1260 days of the sun covered by clouds of ash. If we go past this date, then I can no longer rectify my translations of Daniel 9 and Daniel 12 along with the Fig Tree and and 2000 years from the cross. There are no other alternative calendars that still have dates in play that work. We are quite literally at the end of flexibility with all of the scripture I have considered.
Things may happen earlier, if solar Gregorian year is used causing things to kick off around December 1, but I don’t put much weight on that. So as far as I can tell, this is it!
“Blow the shofar in Zion, sanctify a fast, call an Atzeret, gather the people…”. — Joel 2:15–16
