Wednesday, August 31, 2016, I came back to my apartment from being in class and I came across a video by Pastor Mark Biltz entitled something to the effect of: The Bride of Christ will be raptured during the Feast of Trumpets. Up to that point I had been reading and hearing a lot about the rapture because the Lord was awakening me in the Spirit to what time it was in 2015, but I had never heard of the Feast of Trumpets in my entire life! As I began watching the video, the words “Archer 720” flashed across the screen and immediately the Holy Spirit reminded of a vision of the number 2686 the Lord showed me a few months prior that meant the same word “Archer” in the Strong’s Concordance Biblehub online. This was confirmation 1 that the Lord was trying to point me to something important through this video!
I continued watching Pastor Mark Biltz explain the Feast of Trumpets and the meaning behind it. He said that when anyone in the land would go up against an enemy they would sound the trumpet as an ALARM or warning! Right when he said this I was in total shock and amazement because the Lord had given me a vision at the beginning of the month where I was on NC State University’s campus and sounded a golden trumpet as an ALARM in front of students in the seats of my Genetic’s in Human Affairs classroom. I even remember recording this vision in my notebook and specifically jotting down the word ALARM in big letters as that was Precisely what I was feeling in my spirit as I sounded this trumpet in my vision! This was confirmation 2 that the Lord was trying to disclose something to me through the video- so I kept watching!
Mark continued by saying that those who sound the trumpet are remembering God, yet they also desire God to remember them and extend his mercy to them in time of the coming judgement that will soon take place upon the world. Additionally he posed the question to his audience: Who all wants to be remembered by God, especially in time of judgement? He raised his hand to say that he did! He then said, “God remembers those who remember him!” When Mark said this it really made me begin to cry… because that was what was truly in my heart. Ultimately all I wanted to do with my life was to completely acknowledge and remember God and I most definitely wanted him to remember me and my family and protect us all from judgement and going through the Tribulation!
Then Mark said something profound… He mentioned how the blowing of the trumpet or shofar (ram’s horn) not only stood for judgement, but also for joy! Joy would await those who are taken in the Rapture, but judgement would await those not taken in the Rapture! Another interesting fact that Mark revealed in his video is that another name for the Feast of Trumpets is Yom Teurah, where “Yom” stands for Day and “Teurah” stands for Shout! And that is Exactly what I felt in that vision where I was blowing the trumpet… In my Spirit it was as if I was shouting at the top of my lungs at the people in the audience, urgently trying to warn them and wake them up to be ready for the Rapture because it was at hand!
Further into the video I learned that the first sighting of the new moon was to be the sign for the Jewish people to begin their New Year which would have to be determined by 2 or 3 witnesses. In addition, I learned that there are more significant names for the Feast of Trumpets that hint at the Rapture, these are: The day where No Man Knows the Day Nor the Hour, The Thief In The Night, The Hidden Day or The Day of Concealment/New Moon, The Day of The Blowing of Trumpets, The Day of The Last Trump, The Day of The Awakening Blast, Jacob’s Trouble/Tribulation – Beginning of 10 Days of Awe, The Opening of The Gates, The Opening of Books, The Day of Judgement, The Day of The Coronation of The King (HaMalech), The Wedding of The Messiah (HaKiddushin)! Now if those names do not sound exactly like the day of the Rapture, then I absolutely do not know what would!
I never knew that the Lord had set feast days as appointed times and as Holy convocations (or dress rehearsals for what is to come) that we all need to be observing, adhering to, and also declaring and proclaiming to everyone in the world! Mark pointed out that Leviticus 23:2 specifically states how the Lord spoke to the children of Israel saying that the feasts of the Lord, which they are to proclaim as being holy convocations, even those are His appointed feasts! So the word “feasts” does not actually stand for food, but it stands for divine appointments set by the Lord! And if the Lord says that they are “His” appointed feast days, then how much more do we need to be aware of them and be observing them as his children?
There is so much more that I was taught through Mark Biltz’ video about the Feast of Trumpets and God’s appointed feast days that I was previously not aware of – so much more that by the end of the video I literally felt like I had eaten a spiritual full-course meal! I truly believe with all my heart that with all these confirmations, the Lord was not only trying to lead me into a greater knowledge of the Jewish roots of Jesus by understanding the appointed days of the Lord, but he was also trying to uncover the hidden connections between this significant appointed feast day known as The Feast of Trumpets and the timeframe of the Rapture!
