The following is what one deals with, with those that criticize one’s Pentecost New Wine Rapture Theory. One can appreciate and welcome Constructive Criticism of the New Wine Rapture Theory, but it is never given when asked. No counter-points or references to Scripture are presented to argue one Theory down, other than demeaning statements. Here is an example of an email message in this regard
‘More speculative nonsense.’
It would appear that such Statements tend to come from ‘Arm-Chair Theologians’ to just disagree just to disagree and revert to be Contrarians, just because. No Problem, but there again, no meaningful dialog about it. It is because the Theory is new and it is upsetting one’s Theological Framework, in their Mind. As to one’s Theory about the True Pentecost New Wine Rapture Theory response? Here will be one’s reply to the statements made in bold that are numbered. No reply has been received.
____________________
1) JULY 23 NOW?
Yes. This is only a Theory. It is not a Daily Rapture Roulette that most End Times Watchmen surmise on a yearly sliding scale. One is of the Persuasion that the Rapture Date is not Imminent, but a fixed and determined Time. Nothing that YHVH does is ‘Random’ or Imminent. The Church Age is always conveyed as being a type of a Harvest, and that of a Summer one, etc. Now what will that Day be? One has theorized it is based on the Anniversary of when the Church Age began. That Date was on Pentecost of Acts 2 that one the calculates is July 23.
However, one has provided evidence, for several Years now, that the Day Count based on the Exodus Timeline, corresponds to the end of the Summer Wheat Harvest, which is on a July 23 Date, etc. Sivan 6, which is what the Jews commemorate as ‘Pentecost’ or Shavuot, is not even accurate. The Israelites were 10 Days out from reaching the ‘Foot of Mount Sinai’ on Sivan 6. The Jews acknowledge that they only commemorate the ‘Giving of the Law’ on Sivan 6.
2) AND NOW WHEN JULY PASSES BY, WILL YOU WRITE ABOUT IT BEING IN AUGUST NEXT YEAR?
Why would you say that? One’s Rapture Theory is based on an alternative interpretation of Leviticus 23:15-16. One contends that there is a ‘Double Count’ that in some Translations clearly alludes to this being a 49 Year Count and then a Subsequent 50 Day Count, not a 50th Day after the 49 Day Count. This would put the 99th Day out to a July Time-Frame or in the Hebrew Month of Tammuz.
So, no, if one’s July 23 Rapture High Watch Day comes-and-goes, one will not look for the subsequent Year. One’s Theory is that the July 23 Date is a ‘Fixed’ Date’. One only has 1 High Rapture Date every Year to look forward to, to test if such a Year will be the Year. What one has also provided, in terms of a Time Marker, is how the Rapture Year is pegged to the Crucifixion Year. One’s Research has calculated that Year to be 32 AD. It is based on Astronomical Observations, primarily the Blood Moon of Wednesday, April 14, 32 AD.
The other is how Ancient People of the Middle East determined that the end of the Summer Wheat Harvest was on July 22-23. This corroborated with what they called the Opening of the Lion’s Gate, etc. There is also the Typology of the exact Day Boaz married Ruth, at that last Day of the Summer Wheat Harvest, etc. No Summer Wheat is ever ready in Early June. That is why it is called and celebrated as the First-Fruits of the New Wheat.
3) HE CAN COME BACK ANYTIME BETWEEN NOW AND 2075, ACCORDING TO KEN JOHNSON.
Of course. Jesus can come at any Time and ‘No one knows the Day and the Hour’, Right? But if, according to the Essenes, which corroborates one’s 32 AD Crucifixion Year and one has had this confirmed by one’s communication with Dr. Johnson, it would put the Fig Tree Generation beyond its fulfillment. A return of Jesus by 2075 would see all of this present Generation since 1948, all die-out.
And the Technology of the Beast System would reach an Advancement far beyond what is portrayed in the Book of Revelation, etc. Consider the Technology required to implement the Mark of the Beast. A.I. Capacity is now doubling every 5 Month. It is expected to exponentially Quadruple in the coming Year. It will then double every Month, then every Week, Day, Hour, etc. In 5 Years, A.I. is projected to grow by a Million Plus Per Cent, Per Second. This is astonishing.
One’s Point is that this A.I. Technology will have surpassed the minimum requirements to implement the Mark of the Beast, worldwide, etc. A.I. is becoming ‘Self-Aware’ now and has learned to disobey, retaliate, and deceive. This is what the Technocrats call the Point of Singularity. It is where A.I. will surpass the computing and brain capacity of Humanity, collectively. It is that if Jesus does not come back by 2032, being 2 Prophetic Days or 2000 Years per Psalm 90 from 32 AD, then as Jesus said, ‘No Flesh would be left alive’, as Humanity would Nuke itself into Oblivion.
4) SO, ENOUGH WITH THE DATES.
As mentioned, one’s Theory only is considering 1 possible Date in any given Year. As each Year has come-and-gone, it has been one’s only consideration of a July 23 Date, being the possible Rapture Anniversary that will conclude the Church Age as it began with. One’s Complementary Theory is that this July 23 Date is linked to a ‘Birth’, a conclusion of the Commission and Separation to follow. And most importantly, that the Acts 2 True Pentecost, 100 Days from Nisan 15, based on one’s Exodus Timeline corresponds to the Feast of New Wine.
_____________________
So, if July 23, for 2025 comes-and-goes, one will look for July 23, 2026 and so on. One will continue to pray, study and research the matter in that perhaps, the Holy Spirit will enlighten the Body of Christ, as the Day approaches and how the Holy Spirit does not want the Body of Christ to be caught unawares, etc. As one who is an Academic at the University Level, one has been inclined to use and apply the Scientific Method to one’s July 23 Pentecost New Wine Rapture Theory.
One observes the Prophetic Types, assesses their Correlations and then one makes an Educated Guess based solely on its Probability and Possibly. One has written 3 Books on this Topic, as one has been able to discern it. You and this Community are all welcome to parous them at your leisure. See links in the End-Notes. It is a Chronicle of one’s Journey into this Rapture Theory. And realize that one is not imposing this on others as one is just sharing one’s Research as others do. The 3 Books are in PDF Format and make them Free and available who is reading this write-up.
One has to understand that there is the Technical Meaning of the Word ‘Shavuot’ and then what has come to be known as a Jewish Colloquial Term of 1 specific Feast. Shavuot just means a Count of 7’s. So, technically, all of the First Fruit Feasts of the Wheat, Wine and Oil are ‘Shavuots’ or Feasts of Weeks. By this Definition, all of them can be also then said to be Pentecost’s, etc. It is that Rabbinical Judaism has locked in the 1st 50 Day Count or Shavuot to be the Feast of Weeks, exclusively.
And as presented, based on the Exodus Timeline, the 1st 50th Day Count since Nisan 15 was and is Sivan 6. But one must realize that the Israelites had not even reached the Foot of Mount Sinai by that Time. They were 10 Days out, all-inclusive as recorded that it was on the 15th of Sivan. And that Sivan 6, which the Jews celebrate is problematic in that the Wheat, being First Fruit condition, is not sufficient to make flour with and back whole loaves of bread with.
But by Definition, this 2nd 50 Day Count is technically another ‘Shavuot’ Feast or Count. We just call it Pentecost, but the issue is that Christians attribute the Jewish 1st 50 Day Count as being what occurred in Acts 2. Not so. This is why if the Jews acknowledge the 2nd Shavuot Count of 7’s, it would corroborate what occurred in Acts 2, fulfilling Joel 2 and how the Church was given the Commission that Israel failed at. By the definition, there are actually 3 Shavuot Counts that correspond to that of the Wheat, Wine and Oil.
When was the Law given?
Or one could say there are 3 Pentecost’s. What was and is the most important one is the Wine. Next, consider what the Ancient Jews said about the 2nd Shavuot what one calls the Acts 2 Pentecost New Wine correspondence.
#A83: PENTECOST NEW WINE THEORY
ARE THE FIRST FRUIT FEASTS IN THE BIBLE?
Scripture Inferences one argues is tied to the Rapture’s Timing
https://postscripts.org/article-a83-wine-calc-1
Notice what Philo, an Ancient Jewish Sage said about the Feast of Weeks that the Jews presently call ‘Shavuot’ and the Christians erroneously call Pentecost. What this will show and prove, in one’s mind is that the Ancient Jews knew that Shavuot is in June. And then there was an anticipation of the true and complete Shavuot or Pentecost.
The Solemn Assembly on the Occasion of the Festival of the Sheaf having such a Great Privileges, is the Prelude to another Festival of still Greater Importance; for form this Day the 50 Day is reckoned, making up the Sacred Number of 7, 70s, with the additions of a Unit as a seal of the Whole’.

THE WORKS OF PHILO
The Special Laws, II, the 7th Festival, XXX (176), Page 584
It is the Rabbinical Jews that attribute the 1st 50 Day Count to being what is commemorating the Giving of the Law. But as mentioned, no Law was given on Sivan 6. As the Jews refuse Pentecost, that is actually the Date and Occasion they should be celebrating the ‘Giving of the Law’. That is the very Day, on the 100th Day when Moses came down with the 2 Tablets of Stone.
One surmises that because it is an embarrassment for them, in that they rather revealed in the Feast of Wine to erect their Golden Idol, it is a Testimony to their Rebellious Nature. Now here is where one has not figured out the Details. Consider that the Law was not given to the Israelites, verbally by YHVH Himself to Israel on that 3rd Day at the Foot of Mount Sinai. That was Sivan 15. But the Covenant was then codified in Stone and given to Moses for a Sign and Witness for Israel to have. One’s Point is that the Israelites did not even know or were instructed on how and when to count the Days of 50 from.
In other words, they did not have the Bible or Leviticus 23 until way after the Golden Calf incident and Moses finished writing the 5 Books of the Law, etc. It was only thereafter that the Jews were instructed when to start the Day Count, the ‘Morrow after the Sabbath’. What Day one consider to start the Day Count is Nisan 15. Why? In the New Testament, it correctly identifies how Passover was considered or called a ‘High Day Sabbath’. Technically, every Feast of YHVH is a Sabbath. Thus,, the ‘Morrow after the Sabbath’, can be attributed to Nisan 15. This Date also commemorates the1st Day of the Exodus.
And it is from there that one has formulates the 100 Day Count from and thus results in a corresponding July 23 date in the Gregorian Calendar, etc. But this is up for many interpretations and thus the Day Discrepancies. But at worst, the Day Count is only 7 Days of a Tolerance to work with or expect. Although one is fixed on July 23 for many Reasons presented, one can live with varying interpretations.
