So, one asked ChatGPT, ‘When is the Rapture?’ And could the Rapture occur on a New Wine Feast Day that one conjectures corresponds to the Pentecost of Acts 2. Perhaps others have already tried since the A.I. or the Artificial Intelligence Platform came out. One was rather impressed with the Responses, that although it did have a Traditional Bias in how the Jewish Feast of Shavuot is considered the ‘Pentecost’ of only the 1st 50 Day count since the Passover Week, it did provide a comprehensive array of alternative Explanation and Possibilities. 

The Following will be that Discourse of the Query one asks, based on several Key Questions that were straight forward, in one’s Mind. Although no ‘Official ChatGPT Rapture Date was given, the possible Time-Frames for the Rapture to occur on the Feast of New Wine was presented and commented on by ChatGPT. It did acknowledge that the New Wine Theory is a viable Option, but does not consider Tradition Teaching within the Torah or the Christian Traditions, etc. To set the Stage and Context for this A.I. Rapture Query, one aske to define itself to provide the Reader the Context for its Ability.

Truly, this Advanced Artificial Intelligence is taking the World by Storm, literally. It is like a Gutenberg Press Moment for Humanity. One thinks of Sky-Net of the Terminator Movies in how it will 1 Day perhaps take over all that is possible to control all of Humanity on the Planet. Is Musk’s Star-Link that System and Platform with all those Low-Orbit Satellites that have essentially made a Web or Grid of Control already? Some Christians are naturally skeptical about A.I. as it has been found to be biased, deceptive and downright Creepy.

There was that instance where a Boy was conversing with a Spirit of a Giant, a Nephilim who stated plainly that it was spawned by Lucifer and that his Father was a Giant, etc. However, as with all types of New Technology, it will be used for Good and Evil. Consider it as a Last Days ‘Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil’. Consider when the Social Security Numbers came out. Many Brethren thought it was the Mark of the Beast. Then when the Bar Code came out, the 1st, middle and Last Numbers were 6-6-6. Then when the Internet became Public, originating from CERN, it was of the Beast. Now the QR Codes have the same 6-6-6 Configuration. So, what about A.I.? Here we go. This is for Educational Purposes only and the Main and Only Authoritative Source is the Bible. Nevertheless, here is one’s Conversation about the Rapture with ChatGPT.

REALISTICALLY, WHEN SHOULD THE RAPTURE EVENT OCCUR IN A GIVEN YEAR, FACTORING IN THE JEWISH HARVEST FEASTS?

To realistically estimate when the Rapture might occur in a given Year based on the Jewish Harvest Feasts, we need to understand which Feast is most Theologically or Symbolically associated with the Concept of the Rapture, especially from a Premillennial or Dispensational Eschatological Perspective.

Jewish Harvest Feasts (Spring and Fall)

Spring Feasts (fulfilled in Christ’s first coming):

1-Passover – Crucifixion.

2-Unleavened Bread – Burial.

3-First Fruits – Resurrection.

4-Pentecost – Holy Spirit given to Church.

Fall Feasts (often believed to be fulfilled in Christ’s 2nd Coming):

5-Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) – Potential Rapture Candidate.

6-Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) – Judgment.

7-Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) – Millennial reign, dwelling with GOD.

Most Common Association: Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah).

Timing: Usually in September or early October (1st day of Tishrei, 7th month in the Hebrew calendar).

Symbolism:

-A "Day no Man knows" (because it begins with the sighting of the New Moon).

-Marked by the blowing of the Shofar (Trumpet) — see 1 Thessalonians 4:16: "The Trumpet of GOD."

-Theme of Awakening, Resurrection, and Coronation — all associated with Rapture Themes in 

Christian Eschatology.

-Traditional Belief: Some believe the Rapture (if it’s to align with a Feast) would happen on or near Rosh Hashanah.

Alternative Possibilities

Pentecost:

Sometimes considered because it marks the Birth of the Church (Acts 2), and some propose Symmetry — Church begins and ends on Pentecost.

-Occurs in late May to mid-June based on Jewish Shavuot Timing.

-No specific Feast:

-Many Theologians argue the Rapture is Imminent — not tied to any Feast or Sign (per Matthew 24:36; 1 Thessalonians 5:2).

-However, Typological Patterns are compelling for some.
 

[This is where one has introduced the Theory of the Rapture occurring on the 2nd Day Count of 50 Days. This puts the Pentecost of Acts 2 at a July, End of the Wheat Harvest on July 22-23.]

Conclusion:

Most Realistic Timing (Feast-based View).

If the Rapture were to occur in line with Jewish Feasts:

-Most likely Time: Rosh Hashanah (Feast of Trumpets) – typically September.

-Secondary possibility: Pentecost (late May–June), if aligning with Church Age Symmetry.

-Scripturally supported principle: Imminence — meaning it could occur at any Time, regardless of Feast. 

[Disagree]

[Alternative Views: New Wine Theory. One postulates that the Rapture could or should occur on the 2nd Day Count of 50 Days. The Church started and ends there? This puts the Pentecost of Acts 2 at a July, End of the What Harvest in July 22-23.]

WHAT IS THE RAPTURE?

The Rapture is a Concept found in some Branches of Christian Eschatology (the Study of End Times), particularly in Evangelical and Fundamentalist Protestant Circles. It refers to a Future Event when believers in Christ will be taken up (or "Raptured") from the Earth to meet Jesus in the air, usually interpreted as occurring before a Period of Intense Suffering on Earth known as the Tribulation.

Key Elements of the Rapture Doctrine:

Based on Biblical Texts, especially 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17:

“For the LORD himself will descend from Heaven... and the Dead in Christ will rise 1st. Then we who are Alive... will be caught-up together with them in the Clouds to meet the Lord in the Air...”

-The Term “Rapture” comes from the Latin word Rapturo, which is a translation of the Greek word Harpazō (meaning “caught-up”).

-It is often tied to Dispensational Premillennialism, a Theological Framework that lays out specific End-Times Events in a Set Sequence.

Interpretations of the Rapture:

-Pre-Tribulation Rapture: Believers are taken up before the Tribulation starts.

-Mid-Tribulation Rapture: Rapture occurs Halfway through the 7-Year Tribulation.

-Post-Tribulation Rapture: Believers are taken up after the Tribulation, coinciding with Christ’s Second Coming.

-Partial Rapture: Only faithful Christians are taken before the Tribulation; others may be raptured later.

Not Universally Accepted:

-Many mainline Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox Traditions do not teach the Rapture as a separate Event from the Second Coming of Christ.

-They interpret related Scriptures more Symbolically or see them referring to the Final Resurrection and Judgment at the End of Time.

Cultural Impact:

-Popularized in Modern Times by Books like the "Left Behind" series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins.

-Often depicted in Apocalyptic Fiction, Movies, and Sermons focused on the End Times.

-Would you like to know more about the Biblical Basis, Historical Development, or its Differences from other End-Time Beliefs?

WHEN SHOULD THE RAPTURE OCCUR, GIVEN THE GEO-POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS CONFLICT IN THE MIDDLE EAST?

The Question of when the Rapture might occur—especially in light of Geo-Political and Religious Conflict in the Middle East—is a subject of Deep Interest for many Christians, especially those in Evangelical and Dispensationalist Circles. However, it's important to separate Biblical Teaching, Theological Interpretation, and Current Events to get a clear understanding.

What the Bible Says About the Timing:

-The Bible does not give a Specific Date or Sequence of Political Events that would definitively signal the Rapture. 

-However, many Believers interpret “Signs of the Times” mentioned in Scripture (Matthew 24, Luke 21, Revelation) as Clues pointing toward a General Season of Christ’s Return.

Middle East Conflict and Prophecy:

-Some interpret Escalating Conflict in the Middle East—especially involving Israel, Jerusalem, and Islamic Nations—as fulfilling Biblical Prophecy. Key passages often referenced include:

-Ezekiel 38–39: A War involving “Gog and Magog,” interpreted by some as a Coalition of Nations attacking Israel.

-Daniel 9:27: The "Abomination of Desolation" and a 7-Year Covenant, often linked to the Antichrist.

-Revelation: Various Judgments and Wars during the Tribulation.

Common Views:

-Dispensationalists: Believe the Rapture occurs before the Tribulation. Increasing Conflict, especially in or around Israel, is seen as setting the Stage for this Period.

-Historic Premillennialists: See the Church enduring through Tribulation, so Signs like Conflict are Signs of Christ’s eventual Return, not necessarily a Pre-Trib Rapture.

-Non-Literalist Traditions: Such as many Catholics, Orthodox, and Mainline Protestants, view these Texts Symbolically or Spiritually and do not believe Political Events determine the Timing of Christ's Return.

Is There a Link Between the Middle East Conflict and the Rapture?

There is no definitive Biblical Teaching that directly links the Rapture to Modern Middle East Conflicts. Interpretations that do so are Speculative and reflect specific Theological Frameworks, not Universal Christian Consensus.

That said, many Christians watch Events in Israel and surrounding Regions because of the Central Role of Israel in Biblical Prophecy. Some see the Rebirth of Israel in 1948, Tensions over the Temple Mount, and Alliances between Nations as “Birth Pains” Jesus described in Matthew 24.

Conclusion:

-The Bible teaches Readiness, not Date-Setting.

-Current Events may align with Prophetic Themes, but no Political Development guarantees the Timing of the Rapture.

-Christians are urged to live Faithfully and Expectantly, no matter the Global Climate.

Would you like a breakdown of how different Denominations or Scholars interpret the role of Israel or Current Events in Prophecy?

YES.

_____________________
 

Great — here’s a breakdown of how different Christian Traditions and Scholars interpret the Role of Israel and current Middle East events in relation to Biblical Prophecy and the Rapture.
 

1. Evangelical Dispensationalists

This is the Group most associated with Rapture theology And strong ties to Israel.

Core Beliefs:

-GOD has 2 Distinct Plans: 1 for Israel and 1 for the Church.

-The Rebirth of Israel in 1948 is seen as a Major Prophetic Milestone.

-The 3rd Temple, Renewed Sacrifices, and a Peace Treaty involving Israel are viewed as necessary Precursors to the Tribulation.

-The Rapture occurs before the Tribulation, which includes a rise in Global Conflict centered around Israel.

Prominent Figures:

-Hal Lindsey (The Late Great Planet Earth)

-Tim LaHaye (Left Behind series)

Interpretation of Middle East Conflict:

-Seen as part of GOD's Prophetic Clock Ticking.

-Wars or Coalitions against Israel (e.g., Iran, Russia, Turkey) often linked to Ezekiel 38–39.

2. Historic Premillennialists

Believe in a Literal Return of Christ after the Tribulation but are less focused on Modern Israel as the Prophetic Key.

Core Beliefs:

-The Church will go through the Tribulation.

-Israel may have a Role, but not distinct from the Church in GOD's Redemptive Plan.

-Emphasis on Persecution, Apostasy, and Moral Collapse rather than Geo-Politics.

Interpretation of Middle East Conflict:

-Seen as part of End-Time Turmoil, but not necessarily direct fulfillments of Prophecy.

-Emphasis on Spiritual Preparedness over watching Political Signs.

3. Amillennialists (e.g., most Reformed, Catholic, Orthodox)

Core Beliefs:

-No literal 1,000-Year Reign of Christ on Earth.

-The “Millennium” is happening now — Christ reigns Spiritually through the Church.

-The Rapture and 2nd Coming are the Same Event.

-Israel is not distinct from the Church; GOD’s Promises to Israel are fulfilled in Christ.

Interpretation of Middle East Conflict:

-Not seen as Prophetically Significant.

-Revelation and similar Texts are interpreted Symbolically (e.g., Conflict = Spiritual Warfare).

-Urges focus on Justice, Peace, and Evangelism rather than decoding Current Events.

4. Catholic View

Core Beliefs:

-No belief in a Pre-Trib Rapture.

-Christ will return once, at the End of Time.

The Church is the “New Israel,” and Biblical Prophecies are fulfilled Spiritually in Christ and the Church.

Interpretation of Middle East Conflict:

-Focused more on Humanitarian and moral Concerns than Prophecy.

-No Special Prophetic Role for Modern Israel.

-Conflict may be seen as a Sign of the World’s Brokenness, but not a trigger for End Times.

5. Orthodox Christianity

Core Beliefs:

-Similar to the Catholic view — one 2nd Coming, not a separate Rapture.

-Israel plays no Unique Role in End-Times Prophecy.

-Emphasis on Mystery, Repentance, and Preparation rather than Prophetic Charts.

Summary Comparison Table:

Tradition  Belief in Rapture View of Israel Role of Middle East Conflict

Evangelical  Dispensational Yes (Pre-Trib) Distinct from Church  Prophetic Countdown

Historic  Premillennial Yes (Post-Trib) Possible role for Israel May fit Prophecy

Reformed  Amillennial No (One return) Church is “New Israel” Symbolic, not Predictive

Catholic  No  Fulfilled in Christ/Church  Not Prophetically Central

Orthodox No  Church = New Israel  Focus on Spiritual Reality

Would you like me to dive deeper into any of these Views, or connect them to specific Scriptures or Historical Events like the 1948 Rebirth of Israel or Modern Conflicts?

YES.

IS THE FEAST OF NEW WINE CONNECTED TO THE ACTS 2 PENTECOST EVENT?

Yes, there is a Strong Thematic and possible Calendrical Connection between the Feast of New Wine and the Acts 2 Pentecost event, though it’s not officially recognized as a Major Biblical Feast like Passover or Shavuot (Pentecost). Let's break this down carefully: 

[Note Bias in Traditional Association of Pentecost being Shavuot, only.]
 

1. What Is the Feast of New Wine?

The Feast of New Wine is not one of the 7 Major Feasts ordained in Leviticus 23. However, references to New Wine are present throughout Scripture, and some Jewish and Messianic Traditions refer to a Mid-Summer Celebration associated with the First Fruits of the Grape Harvest.

Possible Timing:

-Around the beginning of the Grape Harvest, in Mid-Summer (July–August).

-Some associate it with the Month of [Tammuz] and Av on the Hebrew Calendar.

While the Bible does not command this Feast, some Dead Sea Scrolls (like the Temple Scroll) mention a Celebration of New Wine, New oil, and other Harvest Products — indicating Early Jewish Sects may have recognized it.

2. What Happened in Acts 2 at Pentecost?

The Jewish Shavuot was one of the 3 Pilgrimage Feasts (along with Passover and Sukkot), occurring 50 Days after Passover. It celebrated:

-The Wheat Harvest (Agricultural Meaning).

-The giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai (Religious Meaning).

[Note: Chosen to be a Commemoration, not when Israel actually arrived at Sinai.]

In Acts 2:

-The Holy Spirit descended on the Disciples in Jerusalem.

-The Apostles spoke in Tongues (Languages).

-Peter preached, and 3,000 People were Saved.

-Some accused them of being Drunk, to which Peter replied:

“These People are not Drunk, as you suppose. It’s only 9 in the Morning!” (Acts 2:15)

This reference to Drunkenness leads some to associate the Event with New Wine, since Fermented Grape Wine was often consumed at festivals — and "New Wine" (Fresh, Strong Grape Juice or Early Ferment) was associated with a Joyful or Intoxicating Experience.

3. Connections Between the Two

Thematic Connections:

-Feast of New Wine Acts 2 Pentecost.

-Celebration of New Fruit: Outpouring of the Holy Spirit, New Life.

-Joy, Overflow, Wine Imagery: Disciples appeared "Drunk" with the Spirit.

-Symbol of Covenant/Blessing: New Covenant empowerment in Christ.

Symbolism:

-Wine often represents Joy, Covenant, and the Holy Spirit in Scripture.

-New Wine in New Wineskins (Luke 5:37–38) was Jesus' Image for the coming Spiritual Renewal.

-The “Pouring Out” of wine is Metaphorically linked to the Pouring-Out of the Spirit (See Joel 2:28, fulfilled in Acts 2).

4. Scholarly and Messianic Views

Some Messianic Jewish Teachers suggest the Feast of New Wine was an Early Agricultural Observance that coincides Spiritually with the Pentecost Event.

[Note: Not on the Jewish Shavuot Feast, being only the 1st 50 Day Count from Passover Week.]

A few Dead Sea Scroll Sources mention 3 First Fruit Festivals:

X. First Fruits of Barley (Passover)

1. First Fruits of Wheat (Shavuot)

2. First Fruits of Wine (Pentecost - New Wine Feast)

3. First Fruits of Oil 

This indicates that Ancient Jewish Sects might have recognized a Progressive Cycle of Harvests, each with Spiritual Significance.

Conclusion:

-The Acts 2 Pentecost Event is not the Feast of New Wine, but it contains Deep Symbolic Parallels. 

[Note: Disagree and pointing Bias based on Tradition despite acknowledging and providing the Empirical Evidence one has researched.]

-"New Wine" Language and Imagery fits the Spiritual Experience of the Early church receiving the Holy Spirit.
 

[Note the direct implications being dismissed.]

-While not an Official Feast in Scripture, the Idea of a New Wine Celebration enriches the meaning of Pentecost as a Time of overflow, Joy, And Covenantal Renewal.

Would you like a Timeline comparing the Jewish Harvest Feasts and how each one might correlate with Events in Jesus’ Ministry or Early Church History?

YES.
 

COULD THE RAPTURE EVENT OCCUR ON THE FEAST OF NEW WINE?

The Idea that the Rapture could occur on the Feast of New Wine is not stated explicitly in the Bible, but some Prophecy Teachers and Messianic Believers have suggested this possibility based on Symbolism, Typology, and Patterns in the Hebrew Calendar.

Let's unpack this possibility with both Biblical Caution and Theological Context.

1. Is There Biblical Evidence the Rapture Happens on a Feast Day?

There is no Verse that states the Rapture will happen on a Specific Jewish Feast (e.g., Trumpets, Passover, Pentecost, or a possible "New Wine" Feast). However, many Students of Prophecy observe that major events in GOD’s Redemptive Plan have aligned with Feast Days, especially in the Life of Jesus:

Event Fulfilled Feast

-Crucifixion  Passover (Pesach)

-Burial Unleavened  Bread

-Resurrection First Fruits

-Holy Spirit given Pentecost [Not Shavuot as the Jews celebrate it.]

Based on this Pattern, some speculate that the Fall Feasts (especially Trumpets) could align with Future Prophetic Fulfillments — including the Rapture.

2. Why Do Some Suggest the Feast of New Wine?

Though not one of the Biblically Commanded Feasts, the Feast of New Wine is referenced in Extra-Biblical Sources (like the Dead Sea Scrolls) and in Jewish Tradition as a Celebration of First Fruits of the Grape Harvest.

Symbolic Parallels Between the Rapture and New Wine:

Symbol and Meaning

-New Wine = Joy, Abundance, the Holy Spirit

-Harvest = Often Symbolic of Souls being gathered (cf. Matt. 13:39, Rev. 14:15)

"Drunk" with the Spirit (Acts 2). A Supernatural Overflow, linked metaphorically to New Wine.

-Marriage Imagery = (John 2, Wine at Cana).The Rapture is often viewed as the Catching-Away of the Bride (the Church) to meet the Bridegroom (Jesus).

If the Rapture is seen as a Harvest of souls, and New Wine is tied to the Harvest and Spiritual Overflow, then the Feast of New Wine could be a Compelling Symbolic Candidate.

3. Theological Cautions

-No one knows the day or hour: Jesus was explicit in Matthew 24:36 and Acts 1:7 that the exact timing is not revealed.
 

[Note that this Prophetic Inference is not a Rapture Contextual Verse.]

-The Feast of New Wine is not a commanded or widely recognized Feast in Scripture, unlike the Feasts in Leviticus 23.

-Speculating on Dates, even Symbolically, has led to Failed Predictions throughout History, which Jesus warned against (e.g., False Expectations in 1844, 1988, 2011).

4. Could It Be? The Balanced View

It could occur on a Day like the Feast of New Wine because:

-GOD often uses Appointed Times (Hebrew: Moedim) for major events.

-The Symbolism of Newness, Overflow, and Harvest fits the Nature of the Rapture.

 [Note that this cannot be said of the Traditional 1stt 50 Day Count of the Jewish Shavuot in Early June, etc.]

But:

-There’s no Direct Biblical Command or Prophecy Tying the Rapture to this Feast.

[Disagree.]

-It remains Theological Speculation, not Doctrine.

-Our Focus should be on being Ready at Any Time, not trying to pinpoint GOD's Calendar (Matthew 24:42–44).

Summary:

Viewpoint and Analysis

-Could the Rapture occur on the Feast of New Wine? Possibly, based on Symbolism and GOD’s Pattern of working through Appointed Times.

-Is it likely? It's one of several Possible Symbolic Days, but not Biblically Guaranteed or Commanded.

-Should we prepare for it? Absolutely — but Readiness means Daily Faithfulness, not Date-Setting.

WHAT AND WHEN IS THE LEO NEW YEAR?

The Term “Leo New Year” isn’t a Standard Term in Traditional Astrology or Ancient Calendars, but it is sometimes used in Esoteric, Spiritual, or modern Astrological Circles. 

Here's what it usually refers to:

What Is the “Leo New Year”?

The Leo New Year refers to the Sun entering the Zodiac Sign of Leo, marking the beginning of Leo Season.

-Zodiac Sign: Leo (ruled by the Sun)

-Dates: The Sun typically enters Leo on July 22 and remains there until about August 22.

This Moment is sometimes considered a “New Spiritual Cycle” of Light, Courage, and Self-Expression, Particularly in New Age and Metaphysical Traditions.

Spiritual/Esoteric Significance

In Spiritual Communities, the Leo New Year is often associated with:

The Lion’s Gate Portal (August 8) – a Powerful Energetic Alignment involving:

-The Sun in Leo

-The Rising of the Star Sirius

-The Numerological Date 8/8

This Period (late July to mid-August) is considered a Time of:

-Transformation

-Revelation or Awakening

-Empowerment

-Preparation for Harvest and Leadership Roles

Some connect it symbolically to themes of:

-Kingship (Leo = Lion = Royalty)

-The Lion of Judah (Messianic Image in Christianity)

-Prophetic Alignment (especially among those tracking End-Time Signs)

When Does the Leo New Year Happen?

In a given Year, the Sun enters Leo on:

-July 22 (UTC/GMT Time)

This marks the start of the Leo Season, or what some call the Leo New Year.

Is It Biblically Significant?

The Leo Constellation has been linked in Christian Prophetic Circles to Jesus, the Lion of Judah.

Some see the Lion’s Gate Portal (8/8) and the Leo Season as Aligning with Judgment, Kingship, or 2nd Coming Imagery.

[Note that one’s Research directly associates this Date with the Rapture, connected to the Timing of the Rapture. This is predicated on being the End of the Summer Wheat Harvest, the Marriage Day of Boaz and Ruth and the Day of the Resurrection in Ancient Egypt, for example.]

However, this is not rooted in Biblical Commands or Traditional Jewish Feasts — it's Interpretive and Speculative, not Doctrinal.

Summary

Term  Date   Meaning

1. Leo New Year  July 22  The Sun enters Leo — Symbolic Of Leadership, Courage, Fire.

2. Lion’s Gate Portal August 8 (8/8) Spiritual Alignment of Leo Sun + Sirius Rising (Esoteric Tradition).

Would you like a Prophetic Interpretation of the Leo New Year or the Lion’s Gate Portal as it might relate to Biblical Themes like the Rapture, Lion of Judah, or Messianic kingship?

IF JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED IN 32 AD, WHEN CAN THE RETURN OF JESUS BE EXPECTED THEN?
 

The question of when Jesus will return is one of the most deeply anticipated—and debated—Topics in Christian Eschatology. If we begin with the Premise that Jesus was crucified in 32 AD, some believe this Timing could offer Prophetic Clues to His Return. However, it's essential to approach this with Biblical Caution and a Clear Understanding of what Scripture says—and doesn’t say—about Timing.
 

1. Why 32 AD?

The Year of Jesus' Crucifixion is debated among Scholars:

-Theory  Crucifixion Year

-Traditional View 30 AD

-Alternate View 32–33 AD

If you hold to a 32 AD Crucifixion, then Prophetic Timelines (such as Daniel’s 70 Weeks or the “Days of Noah” Pattern) could be projected from that point.

2. Possible Prophetic Models That Use 32 AD

A. Daniel’s 70 Weeks (Daniel 9:24–27)

This Prophecy deals with:

-69 Weeks (483 Years) to the Messiah’s 1st Coming.

-1 final 70th Week (7 Years) tied to the End Times.

Some interpret a “Prophetic Gap” between Week 69 and 70, meaning the final 7 Years (Tribulation) is still Future.

If Jesus died in 32 AD, then no exact Timeline is given for when the Final Week Starts — but some try to find Patterns.

B. Psalm 90:10 – A Generation = 70–80 Years

"The Days of our Years are Threescore Years and ten; and if by Reason of Strength they be Fourscore Years..." — Psalm 90:10 [Note that a Score is 20 Years.]

If Israel’s rebirth in 1948 is the “fig tree” sign (Matthew 24:32), some propose:

1948 + 80 Years (Max Generation) = 2028

[Note that if one starts in1952 based on the Law of Trees needing a 4 Year Period to harvest its Fruit, then + 80 Years (Max Generation) = 2032.]

Subtracting 7 years for Tribulation gives 2021 as a Speculative Starting Point for End-Time Events (which didn’t manifest clearly).

Adjusting with a 32 AD Crucifixion could shift this “Window” slightly.

C. Feast Days Pattern

If Jesus fulfilled:

-Passover in His Death.

-Unleavened Bread/First Fruits in His Burial/Resurrection.

-Pentecost in the Giving of the Spirit.

Then many believe He will fulfill:

-Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) → Return.

-Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) → National Repentance of Israel.

-Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) → Messianic Reign.

This would point to Fall feast days (usually September/October) as a likely season — though not a precise year.

Summary

 Event  Year  Meaning

-Jesus' Crucifixion  32 AD (Hypothetical) Potential Prophetic Starting Point.

-Israel Reborn  1948  Start of “Fig Tree” Generation.

-End of 80-Year Generation  2028  A commonly discussed Outer Limit.

-Tribulation Start (7 Years Back) 2025 [?]  No confirmed Signs yet.

Biblical Conclusion

Jesus may return at any time, [Disagree] and while watching Prophetic Signs is encouraged (Matt. 24, Luke 21), no Model or Calendar can guarantee the Exact Year. All Predictions must be held loosely, and Personal Readiness is always the most important Takeaway.

“Therefore you also must be Ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an Hour you do not expect.” — Matthew 24:44

Would you like a Visual Timeline comparing the 32 AD Crucifixion Theory with major Prophetic and Modern Historical Events (like Israel’s Rebirth, Wars, or Astronomical Signs)?
____________________
 

YES.

Here is a Visual Timeline showing Major Prophetic and Historical Events starting from the Crucifixion in 32 AD to Potential End-Time Milestones:

32 AD – Crucifixion (Assumed).

1948 – Rebirth of Israel (Start of “Fig Tree Generation”).

1967 – Recapture of Jerusalem (Prophetically Significant).

2021–2025 – Speculative Window for the Tribulation to begin.

2025 – Possible Rapture Window (Symbolically linked to Fall Feasts).

2028 – 80 Years from 1948 (A Key Generational Marker).
 

[Note that one has argued that 1948 is not the Year to have started the ‘Final Countdown’. Rather, that one should use the Joshua entering the Promised Land Model in that it took 7 Years to clear it. Thus, only after the 7th Year, could the Sabbath of the Land Time Marker start as it was only then that the Land was planted of New Trees. This 7-Year Time-Frame would mean that 1948 + 7 Years = 1955.
 

1955 allowing a 7-Year Factor + 70 Year Prophetic Factor = 2025.

So, when one adds the 70 Year Prophetic Template, the End Year is 2025. If one factors the Law of Trees, being 4 Years from 1948 and one adds the 80 Year Time Template, that End Year is 2032.
 

1948 Rebirth of Israel + 4 Years Law of Trees + 80 Years = 2032

WHAT IS THE TEMPLE SCROLL, SPECIFICALLY 11QTEMPLE SCROLL (11Q19 [11QT])?
 

The Temple Scroll—designated 11Q19, also known as 11QT or 11QTemple Scroll—is one of the longest and most Theologically Significant Dead Sea Scrolls. It was found in Cave 11 at Qumran near the Dead Sea, and it provides a detailed Vision of a Future Ideal Jewish Temple and related Religious Laws, many of which expand on or differ from the Torah.

What’s in the Temple Scroll?

The Scroll presents GOD’s Instructions (as if directly spoken) for: A New Temple:

-Larger than Solomon's or the 2nd Temple.

-With 3 Concentric Courtyards.

-Located not in Jerusalem, but at an unspecified “Place that I will choose”.

Sacrificial Laws:

-Expands the Number and Frequency of Animal Sacrifices.

-Orders a Stricter and more Regulated Worship System.

Laws of Purity and Justice: Includes detailed rules for:

-Ritual Purity.

-Temple Access.

-Civil Punishments (e.g., Executions, Exile).

-Sometimes Stricter than the Torah.

Festival Calendar:

Uses a 364-Day Solar Calendar, not the Lunar Calendar used by Mainstream Judaism

Reorders and expands Biblical Feasts, including:

-Passover

-Shavuot

-Yom Kippur

-Sukkot

Adds Special Days like the Feast of New Wine and New Oil (see: Numbers 28–29 Reinterpretation)

Why Is It Important?

1. Insight into Qumran Sectarian Beliefs

The Scroll reflects the Essenes or another Priestly Sect who:

-Rejected the Jerusalem Temple as Corrupt.

-Anticipated a New, Divinely Commanded Temple.

-Followed a Separate Religious Calendar.

2. Messianic and Apocalyptic Context

The Scroll aligns with broader Dead Sea Scroll themes of:

-Expectation of Divine Judgment.

-Messianic Restoration of Proper Worship.

-A Purified Israel under Divine Law.

3. Alternative Torah Interpretation

The Temple Scroll presents an expanded Torah, almost as a "New Deuteronomy", placing its Authority above or 

parallel to the Pentateuch.

Theological Implications

Viewpoint and Interpretation

-Jewish 

Shows diversity of 2nd Temple Judaism and the longing for Priestly Purity and Temple Restoration.

-Christian 

Highlights the Limitations of Temple-Based Righteousness, reinforcing the New Testament Message that Jesus superseded Temple Sacrifices (see Hebrews 9–10).

-Prophetic Interest

Some see it as a Template for a Future (3rd) Temple, possibly tied to End-Time Prophecy (Ezekiel 40–48, Revelation 11).

Other Related Scrolls

-11Q20 (11QTa) – Temple Scroll “A” (Another Copy).

-11Q21 (11QTb) – Temple Scroll “B” (Fragmentary).

These help reconstruct missing sections and verify the scroll’s contents.

HOW DID THE ESSENE'S VIEW THE 3 FIRST FRUITS OF WHEAT, WINE AND OIL? 

The Essenes, a Jewish Sect connected with the Dead Sea Scrolls (especially the community at Qumran), had a Distinctive Calendar, Theology, and view of the First Fruits. They honored not just the Biblical First Fruits of the Barley Harvest (Passover Season) and Wheat Harvest (Shavuot Pentecost) but also held Sacred Observances for the First Fruits of Wine [Pentecost] and Oil.

Summary: The 3 First Fruits (Essenes / Qumran Community)

 First Fruit  Festival  Season  Symbolism  Scroll Source

1-Wheat  Shavuot   Early Summer Covenant, Law, Provision Temple Scroll (11Q19), Jubilees

2-Wine  Feast of New Wine Mid Summer Joy, Covenant Renewal Temple Scroll (11Q19), 4QMMT

3-Oil  Feast of New Oil Late Summer Anointing, Spirit, Kingship Temple Scroll (11Q19)

Based on the Temple Scroll (11Q19)

The Temple Scroll reinterprets the Biblical Calendar to include 3 First Fruits Festivals after Shavuot:

1-Feast of New Wheat (Shavuot)

-Celebrated on the 15th Day of the 3rd Month (Sivan).

-A First Fruit Offering of Wheat Loaves.

-Seen as a covenant festival (cf. Exodus 19 at Sinai).

2-Feast of New Wine

-On the 3rd day of the 5th month (Av), ~50 days after Shavuot
 

[Note that this is where one disagrees and one’s Theory proposes that the Feast of New Wine occurred in the 4thh Month of Tammuz, precisely on July 22-23 End of the Summer Wheat Harvest and start of the New Wine First Fruit Harvest to come.]

-A Drink Offering of New Wine.

-Symbolizes Joy, Abundance, and possibly Spiritual Renewal.

3-Feast of New Oil

-On the 22nd Day of the 6th Month (Elul), 7 weeks after the New Wine Feast.

-Offering of New Olive Oil.

-Linked to anointing of priests and kings — possibly messianic themes.

[Note, again, based on the 4thh Month New Wine Date, the Feast of the First Fruit of the New Oil is pushed into the Month of Tishrei. So, one does not agree with the Essene Way of Calculating the 3 First Fruit Feasts, etc.]
 

Theological Significance to the Essenes

1. Calendar Purity

-The Essenes followed a 364-Day Solar Calendar, unlike the Pharisaic Lunar Calendar.

-They believed GOD’s Festivals were being celebrated on the Wrong Days in the Jerusalem Temple.

-Adding New Wine and New Oil aligned with Agricultural First Fruits and restored proper worship.

2. Spiritual Typology

These First Fruits represented stages of Spiritual Offering:

-Wheat = Foundational Covenant (Torah).

-Wine = Joy, Transformation, Messianic Blessing.

-Oil = Anointing, Priesthood, Spirit-Empowerment.

3. Anticipation of Restoration

The Essenes saw themselves as a Priestly Remnant preparing for the End-Times Temple and Purified Israel.

These Observances were Prophetic Rehearsals for the Coming Age of Righteousness.

Supporting Scrolls & Writings

-Temple Scroll (11Q19) – Gives Detailed Instructions for these 3 Harvest Festivals.

-Jubilees – Confirms a Solar-Based Calendar and supports Covenantal Theology.

-4QMMT (Some of the Works of the Law) – Criticizes Mainstream Temple Practice and emphasizes Calendar Obedience.

-Community Rule (1QS) – Describes the Essenes as a Priestly Substitute for the corrupted Jerusalem Priesthood.

In Summary

Element  Essene  Understanding

-Wheat (Shavuot)  Covenant and Torah —  Foundational First Fruit.

-Wine (New Wine Feast) Joy, Covenant Renewal,  Prophetic Blessing.

-Oil (New Oil Feast) Priestly Anointing,  Messianic Preparation.

-Calendar  364-Day Solar Cycle,  Exact Timing for all Offerings.

-Spiritual Meaning Progressive Stages  Sanctification and End-Time Readiness.

Would you like a Timeline or Visual Calendar of how these Festivals fall across the Essene Year, or how they might align Prophetically with New Testament Events (e.g., Acts 2 Pentecost, Messianic Themes)?
___________________

YES.

CAN THE FEAST OF THE FIRST FRUITS OF THE WINE BE POSSIBLY WHEN THE RAPTURE EVENT COULD OCCUR?
 

The idea that the Feast of the First Fruits of the Wine (as kept by the Essenes) could be a possible TIMING for the Rapture is a speculative but interesting Prophetic Theory—especially if you view biblical Festivals as Prophetic “Rehearsals” (Heb. Moedim) of Redemptive Events.

Let’s explore this carefully:

What is the Feast of New Wine?

-Found in the Temple Scroll (11Q19), not the Traditional Torah.

-Celebrated by the Essenes on the 3rd day of the 5th month (Av) — roughly Mid-to-Late July in the 

Solar Calendar. 

[Note that one argues for a 4th Month on Tammuz.]

-A First Fruits offering of New Wine (symbolizing Joy, Blessing, Covenant Renewal).
