I have written and published several essays and books on the Last Days, the Return of Jesus, and the Tribulation.
I want to make it clear that I do not know the day or hour that Jesus will return. I don’t know when the Battle of Ezekiel 38 will happen. I don’t know who the antichrist is. I don’t know when the Tribulation will begin.
I do know what the Bible says about these events, and the events that will take place when these events are near their fulfillment.
Jesus said that “no one knows the day or hour of His return,” but He also scolded the leaders of Israel for not recognizing the signs of His first arrival.
There is a balance between predicting or stating a day when Jesus will return for His church, and stating that events taking place currently are signs that His return is near.
In the 50 years I have been studying, writing and teaching the events of the Last Days, this year is the first that has presented all the required events at the same time.
I will continue to write and speak on the events we are now seeing in the world, and compare these events with what the Bible says. I will not ever make emphatic statements of days, persons, or events.

More evidence of peace with Israel from Arabs neighbors. More actions bringing us closer to fulfilling Daniel 9:27.

September 24!

This is exactly what I published in the chapter: “No Man Knows,” The Book: “Days of Wrath: The Final Sign:”
“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. (Matthew 24:36) “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming. (Matthew 25:13) Many people are familiar with the statement that Jesus made when He was asked about the time of His return: “No Man Knows The Day or the Hour.” Very few understand what Jesus meant by this.
We must remember that Jesus is a Jew, and when He spoke, He was speaking primarily to Jews. When Jesus spoke, He communicated in Hebrew and expressed His thoughts in a way that would be understood by the Jews who listened to Him.
The fifth Feast of Israel is called “Rosh Hashanah,” or “The Feast of Trumpets.” It begins on the first day of the seventh month in the Jewish calendar. In the mind of the Jew who is thinking of Rosh Hashanah, this would be the start of “The Day of the Lord,” the one thousand-year reign of the Messiah on earth. This would also mark the time of the resurrection. This important Feast of Israel is signaled by the New Moon. This is the time when the moon is invisible to the Earth, and just slightly before, when it appears as a small crescent. Over the next two weeks, more of the moon appears, until it is finally a Full Moon.
Rosh Hashanah, the Feast of Trumpets, occurs in 2025 during the two-day period of September 22-24.
The appearance of the moon was so important to Israel that all of their feast days were signaled by its phases from New to Full. This is why the total lunar eclipse, or “blood moon,” is such an important sign that we should pay attention to.
God gave authority to the Sanhedrin of Israel to announce when the start of these Feast days would begin, according to the cycles of the moon (Vayikrah-Leviticus 23:4).
“These are the appointed times of the Lord, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at the times appointed for them.”
In the Torah, Mattityahu 18:18-20, we find that the beginning of the Feast of Trumpets occurs as soon as the New Moon is announced. To establish when this feast began, a watch was posted to observe the beginning of the New Moon. In Hebrew, they refer to this watch as “appointed times.” According to the Jewish Midrash, no man has the right to set this time; it is determined by God alone, and no man has the authority to change the appointed time of this feast.1
It was the intention of God, and well understood by the Sanhedrin of Israel, that the watch for the Feast of Trumpets was a rehearsal for the time when this feast would be fully realized. In Colossians 2:17, Paul describes these rehearsals as “a shadow of the good things to come.”
Determined by Two Witnesses
The Sanhedrin determined who would watch for the arrival of the new moon, and this important task was completed by pairs of “two witnesses,” which is the basic foundation of all legal transactions in Judaism.
During the seven-year tribulation, God will send His two witnesses to Israel to proclaim to the Jews, from their Hebrew scriptures, that Jesus is the Messiah.
Revelation 11:3: “And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”
It is my opinion that these two witnesses will be Moses and Elijah. Moses, representing the Law, and Elijah, representing the prophets. Jesus said that all that God had spoken before John the Baptist arrived, as the last of the Old Testament Prophets, rests upon the Law and the Prophets.
Luke 16:16: “The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time, the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it.”
These two witnesses, who were chosen to announce the coming of the new moon that would signal the beginning of Rosh Hashanah, must be men of good character who were already proven to be honorable, truthful, and reliable.
In the Mishnah, chapter 2, Mishnah 6, regarding Rosh Hashanah, it describes how the witnesses are tested regarding the start of Rosh Hashanah.
“The senior of them is brought in and they say to him, tell us how you saw the moon – in front of the sun or behind the sun? To the north of it or the south? How big was it, and in which direction was it inclined? And how broad was it? If he says (he saw it) in front of the sun, his evidence is rejected. After that, they would bring in the second and test him. If their accounts tallied, their evidence was accepted, and the other pairs were only questioned briefly, not because they were required at all, but so that they should not be disappointed, (and) so that they should not be dissuaded from coming.”
In Qualifying The Witnesses, The Sanhedrin Used The Following Criteria:
1.They never arrived at the same time.
2.They were never questioned at the same time.
3.There were always two new witnesses each month. According to the Jewish Sanhedrin, these witnesses would stand before the Nassi or President of the Sanhedrin to give an account of the moon’s appearance before becoming completely dark.2
The way the witnesses could mark the beginning of the new moon was seen in an event that took place just before the total blackness of the new moon. Immediately before the moon enters its new phase, a thin sliver of moon is observed along the edge, called “the horns of the moon.”

Once the two witnesses had been thoroughly evaluated for their truthful account of the new moon, the President of the Sanhedrin would announce the beginning of the “Rosh Chodesh” (new month), with the words: “Sanctified.”
Following his proclamation, all the people would answer: Sanctified.”
Because no man knew the day or the hour for the beginning of the Feast of Trumpets, this became its secondary name. When Jesus said, “But of that day and hour no one knows,” this precise process for determining the beginning of this feast was what He had in mind.
It is for this reason that we cannot say precisely what day or hour Jesus will return for His church at the Rapture.
Jesus never said that we wouldn’t know when He is coming; He told us that we won’t know the specific day or the hour. When we understand that the time of His arrival will be at different times of the day and even on different days, depending on where we are located on the earth, we realize what He was saying. There is no possible way that we can know the precise time or day when He will come.
This means that Jesus could come anytime during this two-day period of September 22-24, 2025, if this is the time when He has determined to return this year.
In chapter 2, “The Seven Feasts,” we learned that when Jesus fulfilled the other four feasts of Israel, at His first arrival on earth, He fulfilled these on the precise day that the particular feast was called for, and in the precise manner that God determined.
The following are the phases of the Moon for September, 2025:
[ Image: moon-phases-sept-2025.jpg ]
Phases of the Moon, September, 2025 As you can see from the above chart of the Moon phases for September, 2025, Rosh Hashanah, or the Feast of the Trumpets, begins on 6 pm (Jerusalem time), September 22 during the New Moon.3 At this state the moon cannot be seen at all, the sky is black.
During the next two days of the Feast of Trumpets, the “waning crescent” is seen on September 23. This is the moment that the two witnesses appointed by the Sanhedrin would proclaim, “Rosh Chodesh” (new month), with the words: “Sanctified.” Following the Nassi or President of the Sanhedrin, all the people would answer: Sanctified.”
This would be the official moment that the Jesus could arrive to remove His church. It should be noted, however, that anytime during the two days from 6 pm September 22, to 6 pm September 24, Jesus’ arrival would still be during the Feast of Trumpets. It is for this reason that “no man knows the day or the hour.”

As you can see, I did not say Jesus will return for His church September 22-24, I said:
“This means that Jesus could come anytime during this two-day period of September 22-24, 2025, if this is the time when He has determined to return this year.”

There are many parables in the New Testament that Jesus used imploring us to keep watch because we do not know the day or hour. The parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25:1-13) teaches of us to always be prepared to greet the Lord. But how could we ever be prepared if we ignore the signs of His approach and fall asleep?
Brother Rob, true followers of Christ know what it is you have written. Pray for those that will scoff at the Words our Lord has given you to write for their trouble will lay with Him.
Prayers and blessings always my brother.
The Beginning is Near.
