Until the day that Noah entered the Ark

The first days mentioned and numbered in the Bible are Heshvan 10 (then the 10th day of the second month) when Noah was called to get in the Ark and then Heshvan 17 when the 8 entered, the door was closed, and it was sealed by God—then the Flood came that very day.

“The Lord then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation...

Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.”

In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month—on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights. On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark.” -Genesis 7:1, 4, 11-13

Heshvan 10 coincides with October 28th this year and Heshvan 17 with November 4th. When considering the warnings and hints of the Rapture in the New Testament, it is only the use of "the Last Trump" by Paul that we have appealed to for the fulfillment of the Moedim--the Festivals. If we look to Peter and Jesus, the emphasis is upon a repeat of the circumstances of the Flood for the end. Let us consider it all.

Here is Jesus:

"But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be." –Matthew 24:37-39

Rethinking this through, Jesus explained normal life functions of people totally unaware. This happened at the Flood and it is happening again. This cannot be before the end of the Tribulation as the world will be shattered with people hiding in caves with a large portion of the population destroyed. The Ark analogy makes sense before the Tribulation begins as the Ark symbolizes our safety in Jesus before the judgment comes upon the world.

This is why Jesus alluded to the day Noah and his family were sealed into the Ark after 120 years of warning. He uses it because He knows its importance. If Jesus was indeed the Son of God and has just detailed to us signs of the end, why do we expect no less here? For the date of first biblical mention and also a day of Noah, this may be the day to take proper note as the best candidate for the Rapture—the deliverance from the second great judgment.

Peter also likens our time to the days of Noah as his chief illustration:

"Knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation." For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men." -2 Peter 3:3-7

Then let us consider Paul.

"Behold, I tell 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 trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." -1 Corinthians 15:51-52

"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words." -1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

While there can be appeals to the fall Feasts with Paul, it is not necessarily conclusive. Paul never brings in the Feast Days explicitly and it is hard to determine what Trumpet day is best, as trumpets are not just for the Feast of Trumpets. Could the Last Trump refer to the Trumpet of God at some other determined time? It would certainly seem allowable.

The most determining statement is Jesus referring to Noah and his sealing into the Ark on Heshvan 17. We too will be sealed into our rooms while judgment then occurs on Earth.

With a Rapture warning and fulfillment on Heshvan 10 and 17, it would mean the “fall” feasts are fulfilled in rapid sequence at the Second Coming at the end of the seven years. There is no unnatural break. They would be fulfilled by Christ in the same manner as the “spring” feasts. It is true the Feasts are the Lord’s but they were also given primarily to Israel. Though there are many parallels that can be found with them and this time, those themes and parallels can also fit the time of the Second Coming.

Rather, the theme of this time before judgment is also called to parallel the time of the Flood. Maybe this should have been obvious as the themes and day counts used in this work has hinged off of the Days of Noah! Going forwards and backwards, the Days of Noah have contributed great insight to this time. It would then only be fitting that another day of Noah has been the point of focus all along.

““Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.””  –John 14:1-4

the Wall. This is the inspiration behind the books offered here. God has shown His hand in the establishment of Israel.

The diagrams here show this fulfillment of the 2,520 years. But do these timelines end at these points with no further clue to the coming time? This website and the books show why these dates of the 20th Century are more significant than what has been understood. The path that these times lead to leads to none other than 2017 and the Sign of Revelation 12. Time is short and it is time to understand...
