Rapture of the Church of the Firstborn (Heb.12:23)

"The biblical events of September 18-20, 2020 coincided with the Jewish New Year of Rosh Hashanah. And this is no coincidence. September 18, 2020 is the starting point for all events that will occur during the harvest period, its duration is 49 years. Therefore, the Jewish New Year (formally began on the evening of September 18, 2020) symbolically indicates a new countdown of the beginning of the harvest.


Please note that the New Year on Rosh Hashanah (1Tishrei) was established according to Jewish tradition, this is a Jewish holiday, and not a feast of the Lord, as many think. The countdown of the days of the new year, according to the ceremonial law, must begin from the first month of Aviv (Nisan) (Ex. 12: 2).


The expected rapture of the Church of the first born on the night from Saturday to Sunday also coincides with the famous holiday, and it is also invented by people. This is an international holiday of Halloween and the next holiday of All Saints. Despite the fact that this holiday is pagan, its name (the holiday of all Saints) very accurately characterizes the future event. No wonder he got this name. As you can see, God uses the pagan and Jewish holiday to mark future events. Moreover, their symbols are understandable to absolutely every person, regardless of his age and faith.


As you know, the main symbol of the New Year is a decorated Christmas tree, and a luminous pumpkin is the symbol of Halloween. So, thanks to these simple symbols, two biblical events unexpectedly received "confirmation" also through dreamers. The dates of major biblical events were made public through them! I would like to draw your attention to this phenomenon. The fact is that people who in our time prophesy their dreams listen to seductive spirits. The deception is that none of them will be raptured, they believed in vain. Trusting dreams, they replaced their faith in the Word of God. And this despite the fact that their dreams about the rapture of the Church of the first born are prophetic. Balaam is a biblical example. He also heard the words of God, learned the knowledge of the Most High and saw a vision of the Almighty (Num. 24), but God told him: “thy way is peruerse before me” (Num.22: 32). Despite all his knowledge and visions, he remained an enemy of the people of God and was killed by the sword (Num. 31: 8). Balaam's story is proof that God can use pagan seers to announce future events."

We have considered the binding of the date of the beginning of the harvest (10/18/20) and the date of the rapture of the Church of the firstborn (10/31/20 01/11/20) to the pagan-Jewish holidays. Now let us consider what feasts of the Lord indicate these dates. To understand further reasoning, one must understand the difference between the modern Jewish calendar and the Jewish calendar, which was given to the people of Israel by the Lord. This calendar ceased to exist more than two thousand years ago. He was absolutely precise and correct and did not need any correction.


"The most accurate calendar"

"Самый точный календарь"

To determine the beginning of the first day of a new month according to the Hebrew calendar, it is enough to know the time of the new moon. This is not a problem these days. If the new moon occurs before sunset, then the first day of the month is announced at sunset. If the new moon occurs after sunset, then the calendar month increases by one day. And yet, it must be borne in mind that the prime meridian is not yet tied to Jerusalem, and therefore its time zone must be taken into account.


The first day of the seventh month (1 Tishrei), taking into account the phase of the moon, began on the evening of September 17, 2020. Therefore, September 18, 2020 was a feast of trumpets.


“In the seuenth moneth, in the first day of the moneth shall yee haue a Sabbath, a memoriall of blowing of trumpets, an holy conuocation” (Lev.23:24).

“Now let us consider what feast of the Lord indicates the rapture of the Church of the first born? And for what reason, on September 20, 2020, the rapture of the Church of the firstborn did not take place. To do this, we will consider several prototypes related to this event.

The people of Israel after making the Passover sacrifice to the Lord (Ex.12) in the land of Egypt were in full readiness to start their journey. It was “that night of the Lord to be obserued of all the children of Israel, in their generations” (Ex.12:42). The exit of the people of Israel from the land of Egypt at night and the events that took place the day before show us the rapture of the Church of the first born.

The meaning of many types of that night (the prohibition to go out of the door of their house until the morning, anointing the jambs with blood) and further events are considered in the work: “The Lord's Passover”.

"The LORD’s passover"

The Passover service in Scripture, depending on the type, points to the death of Jesus on the cross on Nisan 14, 34, or to the death of the Evangelist on the cross, or to the rapture of the Church of the first born.

Scripture speaks of two Passover feasts. According to the ceremonial Law, Passover was feasted in the first month. In the second month, Passover and the feast of unleavened bread were feasted at the special command of the Lord (Num.9:9-11), as an exception. Once, in the second month, they ate “the Passeouer otherwise then it was written” (2Chronicles.30:18), not according to the statute, and the Lord forgave everyone.

This means that Passover in the first month and “Passeouers” (2Chronicles.30:17) in the second month indicate different events. The word Passeouers is used only once in the King James Bible, in a verse (2Chron.30:17).

Passover's (2Chron.30:17) and the feast of unleavened bread, which took place in the second month, indicate the rapture of the Church of the first born and the feast in the Tabernacle of heaven. The Feast of Unleavened Bread was the first of three annual feasts when all males appeared before the Lord (Deut.16:16). And now, soon all “males” will for the first time appear before the face of the Lord, and this will happen in the second month. Those who are faithful to the Lord, like Passover lambs, will be freed from sinful flesh in order to appear before the face of the Lord.

In chapter 30 of 2 Chronicles, the present time period is prophetically shown and the reason why the rapture of the Church of the first born was temporarily delayed:


“For they could not keepe it at that time, because the Priests had not sanctified themselues sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselues together to Ierusalem” (2Chronicles.30:3).


And Hezekiah sent the Postes went with the letters from the King and his Princes “throughout all Israel and Iudah” (2Chronicles.30:6) “to keepe the Passeouer in the second moneth” (2Chronicles.30:2). Messengers throughout the earth proclaimed: “Yee children of Israel, turne againe vnto the Lord God ... and hee wil returne to the remnant of you” (2Chronicles.30:6), which survived from the hand of the kings of Assyria. This is the type of our time. Just as the people of Israel worshiped other gods, so the Christian society made golden gods for themselves. Today the entire Christian world is criminals before God, our guilt has risen to heaven. The perversion of the Word of God in Christendom has reached such a degree that it can be compared with fornication, which “as is not so much as named amongst the Gentiles” (1Cor.5:1). But still, a small part of people who trust the Word of God have survived. To understand what kind of remnant the Scripture speaks of, imagine a field of wheat that has not yet ripened, but you can already collect several ripe ears. So, the first sheaf of harvest from the ripened ears of wheat (Lev.23:10-11), gathered in this field, is a type of the Church of the first born. Scripture prophetically says: “hee wil returne to the remnant of you” (2Chronicles.30:6).


Chapters 9-10 of the book of Ezra, prophetically, speak of our days, in which “grace hath bene shewed from the Lord our God” (Ezra.9:8). On the eve of the harvest, the Lord God enlightened “our eyes” and gave us “a litle reuiuing in our bondage” (Ezra.9:8). The desire to enjoy the benefits of civilization is understandable, but many Christians have come to life beyond measure, so much so that they no longer need anything. In past centuries, people called by Jesus Christ did not have the opportunity to thoroughly research and study the Word of God, there was persecution against them, and the Bible was banned. Ignorance of the prophetic meaning of books, Bible verses was justified. But now...


“Now be yee not stiffe-necked as your fathers were, but yeeld your selues vnto the Lord, and enter into his Sanctuarie, which he hath sanctified for euer: and serue the Lord your God, that the fiercenesse of his wrath may turne away from you” (2Chronicles.30:8).


Those who are faithful to the Lord must enter the heavenly Tabernacle to serve in it. It is said: “but yeeld your selues vnto the Lord, and enter into his Sanctuarie” (2Chronicles.30:8), “that the fiercenesse of his wrath may turne away from you”.


“So the Postes went with the letters from the King and his Princes, throughout all Israel and Iudah, and according to the commandement of the king, saying; Yee children of Israel, turne againe vnto the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, and hee wil returne to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria” (2Chronicles.30:6).



In the modern world, connecting to the World Wide Web and using social networks, video hosting and messengers has become an integral part of society. And if something special happens in the world, then it is difficult not to know about it. We must assume that “the Postes went with the letters” is a figurative designation of the work of all these online platforms and programs installed on smartphones and PCs through which the call will go.

The Church of the first born in the Heavenly Tabernacle is called to fight for all Christians remaining on earth. Indeed, after the rapture of the Church of the firstborn, God's anger will kindle against all who have sinned against Him (2Sam.24), (Ex.32:27-29), (Nehem.1), (Ezra.10). Scripture names them “your brethren and your children”. During the harvest, they will preach the Word of God and give their lives for it (Rev.6:9). The price of preaching the Word of God will be very high, so the Scripture speaks of compassion for them.


“For if yee turne againe vnto the Lord, your brethren and your children shall finde compassion before them that leade them captiue, so that they shall come againe into this land: for the Lord your God is gracious and mercifull, and will not turne away his face from you, if ye returne vnto him” (2Chronicles.30:9).


Further, we are shown the attitude of Christians towards people who are currently preaching the Word of God. Christians will be laugh at and mock those who have heard the “command of the King” and are ready to feast the feast of unleavened bread in the second month.


“So the Posts passed from citie to citie, through the countrey of Ephraim and Manasseh, euen vnto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorne, and mocked them” (2Chronicles.30:10).


Scripture shows that the call to turn to the Lord will be rejected by most Christians. Only a few of them, realizing the crimes of the “settlers”, will humble themselves and be delighted.


“the hand of God” will be above them “to giue them one heart to doe the commandement of the king and of the Princes, by the word of the Lord” (2Chronicles.30:12).


And yet, a lot of people will be gathered, because the Lord will not leave “off his kindnesse to the liuing and to the dead” (Ruth.2:20).


“¶ And there assembled at Ierusalem much people, to keepe the feast of vnleauened bread in the second moneth, a very great congregation” (2Chronicles.30:13).


Pay attention, the king held a meeting and turned not to individual people who are unclean, but to the whole community with a call to feast Passover in the second month. The whole society needed their sanctification to the Lord. In such a state, they could not kill their own Passover lambs and the Levites did it instead them. The Levites slaughtered the Passover's “for euery one that was not cleane, to sanctifie them vnto the Lord”.


“For there were many in the Congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Leuites had the charge of the killing of the Passeouers for euery one that was not cleane, to sanctifie them vnto the Lord” (2Chronicles.30:17).


Scripture in chapter 9 of the book of Numbers, giving us the reasons for this uncleanness, thereby points us to the rapture of the Church of the first born. Prophetically, what does impurity “because of a dead body” and a long journey mean?

Ҧ And the Lord said to Moses, saying,

Tell the children of Israel, saying, If one of you or of your offspring is unclean because of a dead body, or is on a long journey, he will still perform the Passover to the Lord.

On the evening of the fourteenth day of the second month they will complete it, and they will eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs” (Num.9:9-11).


All participants in the rapture of the Church of the firstborn will lose their bodies, and they will have a long journey “vnto the vttermost part of the heauen” (Neh.1:9). Those who have come to life from the dead will also be ritually unclean “because of a dead body”. Therefore, Christ will go “vnto the spirits in prison” (1Pet.3:18-20).

All the firstborn will be ordained to serve in the heavenly Tabernacle. The type of the Saints in the Tabernacle of heaven is the consecrated bread in the Sanctuary. Therefore, the Scripture prophetically calls the feast of the Saints in the Tabernacle as feast of unleavened bread (1Cor.5:8). Scripture in the words of David prophetically says:


“Of a trueth women haue beene kept from vs about these three dayes, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessell” (1Sam.21:5) ...


A multitude of people “had not cleansed themselues: yet did they eate the Passeouer otherwise then it was written” (2Chronicles30:18). What does it mean?

Just as leaven spoils all the meal, so the sinful nature of man makes him a prisoner of the law of sin, and he cannot but commit sin. A person is not able to improve or change his sinful nature, in other words, to purify himself. Scripture speaks with Hezekiah's words to people who keep their hearts and wait for the Lord:


“The good Lord pardon euery one, That prepareth his heart to seeke God ... though hee be not cleansed according to the purification of the Sanctuary” (2Chronicles30:18-19).


The rapture of the Church of the first born will not affect those people who have already “attained holiness”, who have already been “freed from sin.” Local churches are overflowing with “Pharisees” and hypocrites. Scripture says that only great sinners will go with Christ - people suffering from their sinful nature, condemning and hating themselves for it. In other words, they will be those who are “not cleansed according to the purification of the Sanctuary”. It is to them, who are thirsty for healing, the Lord will soon give living water (Mark.14:13).

Scripture firstly speaks of the Lord's command to spend the Passover in the second month, in the ninth chapter of Numbers, verses 6-14. Following this command, Scripture informs us of rearing of the Tabernacle.


“¶ And on the day that the Tabernacle was reared vp ...” (Num.9:15).


In the 30th chapter of the book of 2 Chronicles we are shown how the priests consecrate the heavenly Tabernacle to serve in it: “The priests sprinckled the blood, which they receiued of the hand of the Leuites” (2Chronicles30:16). In the 12th chapter of Exodus, this consecration of the tabernacle is figuratively shown to us as the anointing of the doorposts with blood. Leviticus chapter 8 says: “And Moses tooke the anointing oile, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them” (Lev.8:10).


So, the first day of the first month of the beginning of the harvest was September 18, 2020. The first day of the second month was October 18, 2020. So October 31, 2020 is the 14th day of the second month. On this day, Passover was performed at the special command of the Lord, for those who were on a long journey and were unclean “because of a dead body”. The rapture of the Church of the first born is to be expected from Saturday to Sunday, from October 31 to November 1, 2020.

This 2020 is 43 days from Rosh Hashanah to Halloween. Scripture speaks about this prophetically, indicating these days in Exodus chapter 12.


Ҧ Now the soiourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was foure hundred and thirtie yeeres.

And it came to passe at the end of the foure hundred and thirtie yeeres, euen the selfe same day it came to passe, that all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt” (Ex.12:40,41).


After 43 days from the beginning of the harvest, all the hosts of the Lord will come out of the land of Egypt at night. Coincidentally, the night of October 31 to November 1 fell on Halloween (All Saints' Eve), and November 1 was All Saints' Day. And this year, this festive, carnival night coincided with the full Moon. The night promises to be very bright. For a moment, the night will turn into day because of the shining glory of the Lord (Luke.2:9).


The last verse of chapter 30 of 2 Chronicles is a separate paragraph. The priests in the Heavenly Tabernacle will bless the people who remain on earth, and their voice will be heard and their prayer come up “to his holy dwelling place, euen vnto heauen” (2Chronicles.30:27). His holy dwelling place is the second compartment of the heavenly Tabernacle - þe Holiest of all.


“¶ Then the Priests the Leuites arose, and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came vp to his holy dwelling place, euen vnto heauen” (2Chronicles.30:27).

"And it came to passe on the second Sabbath after the first, that he went thorow the corne fields: and his disciples plucked the eares of corne, and did eate, rubbing them in their hands." (Luke.6:1)

The first Sabbath has already passed. Here comes the second Sabbath, November 7, 2020.

Are you utilizing Hillel II (Rabbinical fixed calendar) reckoning, or older Karaite (Torah only) reckoning for your September date (OP)?

If you are utilizing the Hillel II, then you are off about 30 days (just saying) to begin with (never mind the rest afterward until that is addressed).

"In the sixth chapter of the Gospel of Luke, Scripture shows us the rapture of Church of the first born. This prototype adds new details to the future event. Its interpretation is in work: "The feast of Unleauened bread"

"The feast of unleavened bread"

In this type we are given an important explanation that allows us to clarify the day of the rapture of Church of the first born. We are interested in the first verse.

“And it came to passe on the second Sabbath after the first, that he went thorow the corne fields: and his disciples plucked the eares of corne, and did eate, rubbing them in their hands” (Luke.6:1).

Please note that the expected event will be "on the second Sabbath after the first". Now we need to define the days of the first Sabbath and second one.

The ceremonial law shows us the rapture of the Church of the firstborn in two ways. The first type is the offering of the first sheaf of the harvest (Lev.23:10,11), it is linked to the DAY of Pentecost. The second type is the feast of Unleavened bread, for seven days, they are associated with the Lord's Passover. It is about these days that Scripture speaks prophetically in verse (Luke.6:1).

We know that at present, from November 1 to November 7, 2020, the days of Unleavened bread of the second month continue, of course, in a prophetic sense. So, this year Easter of the second month (10/31/2020) fell on Saturday. The seventh day of the Feast (21st day of the month) fell on the second Sabbath. The ceremonial law says: “in the seuenth day is an holy conuocation” (Lev.23:8). Therefore, the expected day of the rapture of Church of the first born is the second Sabbath after the first. Therefore, an holy conuocation will be assembled on Saturday, November 7, 2020, or rather, from Saturday to Sunday. Scripture speaks of the collection for the Saint's on the first day of the week in verses (1Cor.16:1-4), (Acts.20:6-7).

“And wee sailed away from Philippi, after the dayes of vnleauened bread, and came vnto them to Troas in fiue dayes, where we abode seuen daies” (Acts.20:6).

The Scripture phrase “wee sailed away” means the rapture of Church of the first born. And this will be "after the dayes of vnleauened bread". The whole assembly will take "counsel to keepe other seuen dayes" which they will spend with gladness (2Chron.30:23)."
