I wanted to mention this again because, after all, it just may happen. Now first, before I say anything else, let me clarify that I am not dictating the date of the Rapture. That knowledge is beyond any Bible student, and the Lord did not choose to reveal it.- "It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which my Father hath put in His own power," He told His disciples when asked about His return (Acts 1:7). The Lord's logic is clear if we look at the very relevant wedding analogy to the Gospel. In that case. He is the Bridegroom choosing a bride, and the date of the wedding would be determined by when the bridal chamber was finished. The father of the bridegroom was the sole judge of that, and so, asking the bridegroom would be violating a tradition. In my musical presentation, "Beloved Thief," I use the line "Only my father knows" for the bridegroom to tell questioners about the date of the wedding. The Lord, of course, has promised us splendid accommodations in heaven and assured the entire church: In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:2-3) With all that said, I am like any other prospective bride in this grand wedding, and I don't know the date when I will see the Lord, my bridegroom, face to face. And thus, I cannot predict the Rapture. So why do I say what I do about September 10? Well, here another factor enters the picture. As I pointed out in my many previous letters, the Lord has honored the Seven Feasts of Israel in performing His most profound spiritual acts. He was crucified on Passover, buried on Unleavened Bread, raised on First Fruits, and sent the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. We have all wondered when the next event of such magnitude would transpire, and of course we look to the fifth feast, the Feast of Trumpets. The Rapture, of course, occurs at "the sound of the trump of God." In the case of the Rapture, the Lord does not have to do what He has done four times before, but in a peculiar way it seems that He really could. That is, even though He said, ". . . in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh" (Matt. 24:44), very few people are thinking about the Seven Feasts in this connection. The Jews certainly have got the feasts mixed up, omitting First Fruits and calling Trumpets "New Year's Day." The church has not been seriously studying the Old Testament and is barely aware of the significance of the Biblical feasts and their prophetic schedule. Thus, as I've said before, the Lord can do what He has done four times before and fool almost everybody! Now, where does this leave us in regard to the doctrine of imminency? That doctrine holds that the Lord can come at any moment, and correct Christianity holds that nothing needs to happen before the Rapture. It is "at hand" in theological terms. Won't my saying that it may occur on the Feast of Trumpets run counter to the doctrine of imminency? After all, we can relax for the other 364 days if that were true. Well, I leave it to you. The Lord did and said a number of activities and statements leading down both roads. Perhaps that is part of concealing the wedding date from the bride. The best I can say about this conundrum is that the doctrine of imminency is precious, and I believe in it wholeheartedly. But the Seven Feasts of Israel are just as precious, and I believe in them just as wholeheartedly. I will say that I get nervous every Feast of Trumpets. I like to say that I want to sleep outside so I won't bump my head on the ceiling should He come for His bride that night. Now, that was the "prediction" I made. I really didn't intend to set a date or cause undue concern, and I really don't want to have 1,000 letters after the Feast of Trumpets if the Rapture doesn't occur, telling me what a fool I am. I'm only trying to do my job as a teacher of prophecy in a world where churches have dropped the subject at this most crucial time. Seminaries are becoming confused with doctrines like Amillennialism and Progressive Dispensationalism (pretty much the same thing so far as Israel and prophecy are concerned) and I'm beginning to wonder if the whole phenomenon of our best Christian institutions turning away from the Word does not represent the "falling away" found in 2 Thes. 2:3-4. The "falling away" prophesied to the Thessalonians announces the revelation of the Antichrist, and, therefore, would occur in connection with the upcoming Tribulation period.
