The Last Day, The Last Trump | Daniel Matson
In the following article Daniel Matson explains his journey of discovery and sheds some light on why he believes the last day of the feast of Tabernacles could be significant. I love Daniel and his amazing work and if you haven't read this yet I encourage you to check it out!
Here is an excerpt:
It is the conclusion being formulated here that the Seven Feasts of the Lord have their fulfillment in the First and Second Comings of the Lord. The first four feasts of Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, and Pentecost occurred at the First Coming in rapid succession. Then the final three feasts of Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles will occur at Jesus’ Second Coming to earth in rapid succession. The Feast of Trumpets will be coronation and resurrection day followed by Atonement when Jesus saves Israel to end the Tribulation. Then comes the Feast of Tabernacles when Jesus dwells on earth and rules over it.
However as we read Leviticus 23, we will notice a separation. The Feast of Tabernacles and living in the booths lasts only seven days. After the seven days there is the mystery add-

Does anyone know any good resources to read about the Gemini constellation, which would be on the last day of the feast of tabernacles?
ReplyDeleteOn the 11th, the moon will be within that area, as is seen here.
http://jesus-is-the-way.com/Twins.png
One might jump to the conclusion that those stars could show a picture of God & man coming together, but I am hoping more robust research is available than my 1st reactionary idea. =)
Gospel in the Stars by Joseph Seiss. 99 cent amazon Kindle. Gemini is the bride and Bridegroom. On Oct 12th at Midnight in Jerusalem, Gemini will have just risen in East, the moon in ancient Jewish thought represents the messiah. The moon will be in the groom's side of the constellation! The groom traditionally comes at midnight!! Good signs are in the East! The lion at the pyramids is facing east. I plan on having a video out on this late Saturday.

DeleteThe 70th Week of Daniel starting on the Great 8th Day and ending on Yom Teruah, The Day of YHWH !!!
DeleteThe following are some DATE CALCULATIONS I did using October 11-12, 2017 as the Great 8th Day and how they line up with future Feasts (Moeds) scheduled on the Hillel 2 calendar. The Hillel 2 calendar this year had Yom Teruah / New Moon / the 1st day of the 7th Month line up with the New Moon at conjunction on September 20th-21st 2017.
*Disclaimer: I'm not saying the Hillel 2 calendar is official or accurate but am saying the sequence of events work with no manipulation.
I believe the sequence of events will work and slide respectively if another date is used for the Great 8th Day. Such as The Great 8th Day being October 12-13, 2017 based on the sighting of the new moon sighting from Jerusalem on September 21st, making the evening of September 21-22 the 1st Day of the 7th month. The future dates/ moedim would respectively slide.
*Important to note: Friday the 13th of October is when Jupiter converges with / intersects Virgo's constellation line which I believe to be the "coming forth" of the man child in Revelation 12:5
All in All, I believe the start to finish of the 70th week starting on the Great 8th Day and ending on Yom Teruah / The DAY of YHWH (Yahshua's return) is the correct sequence of events and I believe the resurrection and assention of the Two Witness (after 3.5 days dead in the streets of Jerusalem) proves this, which will occur on a Passover/1st Day Feast of Unleavened Bread as you will see below.
#1 The start and end of Daniel's 70th week and The DAY of YHWH:
Sunset October 11, 2017 + 2550 days (70th week of Daniel) = Sunset October 4, 2024 (which happens to be sunset Friday) aka: Yom Teruah 2024
The 2,550th day would be Sunset October 3rd-4th. Yom Teruah, The Day of YHWH!!!
#2 The death and rising of the Two Witnesses:
Sunset October 11, 2017 + 1,260 days = Sunset March 24, 2021 (No Feast Day occurs on this, but would be the Death of the Two Witnesses, Revelation 11:3 & 11:7)
*If the Two Witnesses Die at Sunrise of March 24, 2021+ 3.5 days (Revelation 11:11-13) = Sunset March 27, 2021 (Which is Passover!!!)
*If the Two Witnesses Die at Sunset of March 24, 2021+ 3.5 days (Revelation 11:11-13) = Sunrise March 28, 2021 (Which is the 1st Day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread!!!)
#3 The abomination of desolation:
Sunset October 4, 2024 - 1,290 days (Daniel 12:11) = Sunset March 24, 2021, The Abomination of Desolation will occur on the same day the beast kills the Two Witnesses in Jerusalem, Revelation 11:7.
#4 The 45th day from Yahshua's Return as King
Sunset March 24, 2021 + 1,335 days (Daniel 12:12) = November 18, 2024 ("Blessed is he that waiteth and cometh to the 1,335th day.")
The Question then goes back to which day is the 1st Day of the 7th Month, Conjunction or Sighting from Jerusalem? And respectively which day is the correct Great 8th Day? Me, I'm leaning to the Great 8th Day with a heavenly sign.
Ugg ... Can't type today. I meant to say,
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know any good resources to read about the Gemini constellation, which is where the moon would be on the last day of the feast of tabernacles.
Brandon, you might look at jesus-is-the-way.com Find the 10/3/17 update; it's a kinda convoluted site, but he's all about where the moon is.
DeleteFrom what I've jeard, it represents Christ and His Church united...
Delete**Rabbit Hole ALERT**
DeleteI don't know much about Gemini but 10/11/2017 the moon is closes to the constellation monoceros during Feast of Tabernacles. Also known as a unicorn, it has been long believed to represent Jesus Christ or also known as a bridegroom in search of his maiden/virgin (The parable of the 10 virgins comes to mind).
If your mind ain't blown yet...
Tachash or Tahash was believed to be a special animal that would visit Moses to provide its hide and create the tabernacle. It was described of having one horn and a coat with multi colors, a form of unicorn.

Juan,
DeleteFirst off, thanks for sharing! But I have to disagree with you that it is up to US to maintain our salvation, which is I believe is an unbiblical idea and leads to a works-centered mindset. It's God alone that keeps us saved, and places His Spirit in us as a down payment (setting us aside for His purposes). He payed the highest price to save us, why would He jeopardize that sacrifice by putting that in our hands? I definitely couldn't keep myself saved if my life depended on it (and it does)!
See:
“For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.” (John 6:38-40)
Along with:
"And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory." (Ephesians 1:13-14)
Now, the only ones who WILL be responsible for their salvation are tribulation believers. The age of grace will be over, so they will not have that guarantee that we have right now. So they will have to keep their clothes (righteousness) with them at all times.
Brian
Brian,
DeleteI believe we might be saying the same thing. In the verses you provided requires us at a minimum to believe.
John 6:40
For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and **BELIEVES** in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
Ephesians 1:13
...when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and **BELIEVED** in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit
I, as many others, was also a bit concerned after September 23rd. There are many challenges, difficulties and let-downs that affects our beliefs. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit and my Bible, is what I use to maintain my salvation or if preferred, my **BELIEF** In Jesus Christ as he ='s my salvation.
God bless Brian
Jesus fulfilled Feast of Tabernacles at His birth; there are only 2 left to fulfill: Trumpets and Atonement.
ReplyDeleteSome are saying that the body of Christ has to be born on the same day, rapture-wise.
DeleteWM.
You mean the Feasts need to be fulfilled more than once? 1 Cor 15:52 says a Trumpet Blast must be heard; Feast of Tabernacles has no Trumpet
ReplyDeletethe 8th day has a trumpet. http://watchfortheday.org/8.html did you read the post?
DeleteSilver Trumpets sound the alarm for war in the camp; Ram's Horn Shofar on New Moon beginning of months and Jubilee Year Feast of Atonement. The Resurrection of believers must see a Trumpet Blast heard round the world.
DeleteThis is just a tidbit concerning an article posted on Watch for the Day Facebook wall...may have some relevance or none at all. Either way, I do find it interesting. And let me start by saying that I do not agree with Roman Catholicism in the tiniest bit, but do believe that it will have a part(an unfortunate one) in the coming tribulation. That being said, this October is the 100th anniversary of "Fatima", and on the 50th anniversary of Fatima, the Catholic "Charismatic Renewal" began(1967). This year is its 50th anniversary(2017). The Lord just pulled my entire family out of this false Holy Spirit religious movement this past spring. I believe it may have a possible connection with the false Fatima "miracle". Just my two cents. I am very curious to know whether another false sign connected to Fatima will again occur and deceive the masses.
ReplyDeleteYour most recent video you released today about Mars, might gain further understanding by looking at Michael Heiser video on God vs sea monsters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hmESW7KM3I
ReplyDeleteMichael is not a 9/23 supporter, but I think it fit with your dragon in the heavens concept.
Let's review the different possibilities:
ReplyDelete1. The stars on 9/23 were just a coincidence. The rapture will happen at some point in the future but there's no way to tell when.
2. Rev 12:1-2 has been fulfilled. Daniel Matson is right, and the rapture will happen between now and the end of next week to coincide with the eighth day.
3. Rev 12:1-2 has been fulfilled. The rapture is tied to a festival but will occur in some future year.
4. Rev 12:1-2 has been fulfilled. The rapture is not tied to any festival and will happen at some unknown point in the future.
Aside from "there is no rapture" (which I don't believe), those are the only four possibilities. How do we know which one is right? All we can do is wait and see. It's the only choice we have.
Before I heard of Rev 12 and 9/23, I spent my days living as best I could. I was aware that the rapture might happen at some point in the near future and I had to be ready for it, because I didn't know when it was going to happen. Maybe it was near, or maybe it wasn't; I couldn't tell and so I tried to make the most of each day.
Aren't we in that exact same situation right now? It seems to me all we can do is wait and see. We just don't know what's going to happen or when it will happen. Even the most clever guess (and we have seen some very compelling ones) are just guesses, and we'll only know if they're true after the fact. We honestly don't know what tomorrow will bring (Prov 27:1). Since the only way to prove any theory is to wait and see what that day brings, wouldn't it be best to simply stop guessing and go back to watching each day? There's a lot of work out there that needs to be done.
Jonathan
The Rev 12 Sign was just that, a sign in the heavens, a sign post points to what up ahead. We are in the season of His coming! We can watch and expect Jesus and His catching us away as well as being busy about our Father's business. I have personally never evangelised as much as I have in the past 2 years! because I was expecting the soon return of our Lord and Saviour. We need to keep our lamps full of oil knowing the bridegroom is only delayed a little while. While we may not know the exact day or hour it doesn't matter. The God of heaven has revealed that we are living in the last of the last days. Not just the signs in the heavens, but all the other signs of Mat 24 and the stage being set for Gog and Magog war and so forth. Time is running out and our King is coming soon!
DeleteEveryone stay encouraged because all these signs are happening and we really are in the time of ingathering. Bible prophecy has soooo many layers that just as we unravel one layer we see there are many more. This to me is exciting and encourages me to continue searching the Scriptures daily, as the Holy Spirit reveals more and more truth to us.
Getting to know this wonderful God we serve, the One who saved us with His own shed blood. How amazing is our God. How amazing is our King! Reading and studying my Bible has become the greatest adventure of my life.
Praying for you all brothers n sisters.
Lets continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, always looking, watching, growing and telling others about His redeeming love.

Yes, that's pretty much where we are, all the "clever guesses" notwithstanding.
Glory to His mighty name!! Isn't wonderful?! =:D
Yours is about the most astute, gut-honest comment I've read in days.
As for your list of four possibilities, in restaurant terms, I'd say we're looking at an entrée of no. 4 with a dash of no. 3 added to taste. A little heavy on the no. 3 suits my palette just fine, but that's just me. Others' tastes may vary.
Bon appétit.
I’m with you Johnathan – what’s with all the guessing? Things line up and then nothing happens. On to the next way they can line up on a different day; nothing happens. Rinse and repeat. Apparently we could be looking at Arbor Day if it fit with some number combination. I’m going back to living my days the best I can.
DeleteThanks for sharing your encouraging words Steven! I agree we may not know the exact day or hour but we can know the season and that is what I tell people. We are to keep watch and share what we've learned with others.
DeleteSeason. Season is such a vague concept that can mean different things to different people. We could say that we were in the season since 1967. That's a 50-year season and counting. We could say we were in the season since 1917 even. About things happening around such as wars, rumours of wars, earthquakes and al that, are they not subjective? Who is to say it is impossible that 50 years from now, we are still here and maybe experience greater and more of those signs on the earth and we are still waiting?
DeleteGood update from Daniel, and I appreciated the added insight into tabernacles (like all of Daniels articles, I have to read them a few times as they have heaps of insight and demonstrate understanding). Thanks for that first sentence as well Daniel! Well received:)
ReplyDeleteRyan
Absolutely beautiful symbology and extremely sound reasoning. Let's do it! Blessings - Sherry
ReplyDeleteVery interesting, Daniel. Thank you! If I may, I’d like to provide a link to it on TheLordIsWithUs.com.
ReplyDeleteHave you watched Paul Dawsi’s excellent videos? Brad posted three of his on this site Oct. 3rd. In the first of the three, at the end, he shows per two astronomical programs that Jupiter actually doesn’t “exit VIrgo” until the 14th (a very fine line on that one, I must say). He also shows that from the heavenly perspective, the action is today/tomorrow at the beginning of Tabernacles: (1) there is a Venus-Mars conjunction between the lion and the virgin (my interpretation: Jesus, we know, says He is the bright and morning star (Venus), and His Second advent season which we are entering is to make war (Mars) with His enemies.) (2) we have a beautiful full moon over the Jerusalem sky the beginning of Tabernacles the 4th and 5th of October, moving from Pices (signifying Israel) to a dragon...
Hi Deanna, thanks for sharing. I checked Stellarium and Jupiter begins to exit on between 6-7pm on the 13th (Israel time). The exit is complete within a few hours. It’s true that it will already be the 14th Oct in a few countries eg Australia where I am. But I don’t think we should base out calculations on Australian time! Probably most accurate to base it on Patmos time where John actually had the vision. In Patmos the exit of Jupiter occurs virtually right on sunset - as the Feasr if tabernacles officially finishes.
DeleteFirst of all, I appreciated Daniel's humility re being wrong about 9/23 being the Rapture. I apologized to my friends and referred to myself as Chicken Little as a penance. I did not call them "scoffers" for teasing me.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, i appreciate his reference to the restrainor being withdrawn. Whether this means the Rapture of believers we don't yet know but i believe it is safe to say that attacks on believers are increasing, as evidence by the Las Vegas shooting and articles such as the following (excerpted here):
"Christians pray to the crucified Christ. Christians also push the plungers that send the poisons into the veins of prisoners. Christians believe that atonement comes through the intercession of Jesus. Christians also believe that atonement comes from smart bombs and predator drones.”
http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a12764429/las-vegas-shooting-result/
Can someone please explain to me, this statement from the article:
ReplyDelete"However, this does not negate the startling fact that Daniel’s 7 week’s have been fulfilled to the very day just before this time. From the decree to rebuild Jerusalem by the JQDC on Passover 1969 to July 17, 2017, when the Jews for one day did public prayer on the Temple Mount, it was exactly 7 x 7 x 360 days."
I was always under the impression that Daniel's 69 weeks have been fulfilled, and that we're waiting on the final week (7-yrs) to be fulfilled during the Trib....?
And the math?? Where do we get "7 x 7" ?
Why not read as God wrote it? 69 Weeks or 483 days from the time the order to rebuild Jerusalem to Messiah the Prince. Jesus is KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS not a Prince. Prince is derived from Primus + Capere meaning 1st Man, Chief, Ruler, Noble + To Take. Whoever Messiah the Prince is, he confirms a covenant with many for one week and in the midst of that week makes it (Jerusalem?) Desolate until the consummation and "that determined" (Wrath?) There is only 1 "Consummation" in scripture and that is the Marriage of the Lamb. The 2 Witnesses lie in the streets 3 1/2 days, killed by Antichrist. Recall, at the start of the Great Tribulation those in Judea were instructed to flee into the mountains; thus Jerusalem would be "Desolate" (Without God) after the 2 Witnesses are killed. They are the first Jesus resurrects at the Last Trump.
DeleteHoward....Jesus is also known as the Prince of Peace. The 7th trumpet is a trumpet blown by an Angel....not the trump of God. The rapture happens at Rev 4:1 "....And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a TRUMPET said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this."
Deletemksmith,
The 7X7 years is referencing a couple of articles Daniel posted on his site watchfortheday.org
His articles will explain it much better, and one of the last 3-4 articles has this info (plus links to previous articles that discuss the subject).
Basically, the idea is that the 70 weeks prophecy of Daniel MAY have a duel fulfillment.
I think you need to save your Private Interpretations for Jesus Lance, Jesus was the Prince of Peace; rejected He now returns with a Sword to divide those who know Him as the "Word of God" (Rev 19:13;16) and KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Antichrist brings Peace, not Jesus Christ "Think not that I come to send peace, I came not to send peace but a sword" Mat 10:34
DeleteJohn was in the presence of the Lord who spoke at a Trumpet to him in Rev 4; a Trumpet is sounded as a warning.; misreading Dan 9:24-27 is the sole source of the 7 Yr Tribulation and Pre-Tribulation Rapture. They are simple not part of scripture.
Not the Trump of God? Better read 1 Thess 4:16 again. Clearly the Last Trumpet (1 Cor 15:52) is the Trump of God.
Daniel Matson has missed Sept 23, 24, 30th as Rapture dates; now we just accept more Private Interpretations of the 8th Day of Feast of Tabernacles? Not me
It looks like a Lance gave the good answer. I am simply talking duel fulfillment. When two edicts are given to rebuild Jerusalem that work to 483 and 49 years ago, it cannot be coincidence.
DeleteHere is also a link to a video.
https://youtu.be/gWlRJjVV8QI
My bible and yours say "70 Weeks" Lance; 490 Days. Dual fulfillment? That's just confusing. Revelation and Daniel go hand in glove. 7 Seals release restraint on Evil; 7 Trumpets are Warnings; the last 3 are Woes! Neon Stop signs warning of impending Judgment; 7 Vials of God's Wrath are final Judgment. Pretty simple material convoluted by Private Interpretations. I'll stand on my simple reading.
DeleteArtaxerxes decree + 483 Years=32AD. Jesus did not offer Himself in 32AD. Herod decreed the Slaughter of Innocents and died because of it just after a Lunar Eclipse recorded by Josephus in the Spring of 4 BC. Jesus was born on Feast of Tabernacles 6 months after John the Baptist who was born on Passover (Luke 1) Jesus was a "Young Child" in Egypt at that point (Mat 2) If He was 2 1/2 He would not have been sought by Herod soldiers; if 6 months old, He would not have been called a "Young Child". Jesus was born Feast of Tabernacles 6 BC and Crucified 33 1/2 Years later in 28AD.
DeletePlacing faith in Persian, really Medean chronology is not sound faith. Medeans had taken control of Persia with Artaxerxes, one is forced to place faith in the Chaldean Magi which the Medean Magi were; these are God's perennial enemy. The Six Pointed Star on Israel's Flag for example is the Chaldean STUR (SATUR), the symbol of the 666 "Mark of the Beast".
You are messing with Eternity here; why not read the Word as Jesus wrote it?
There's my buddy....my friend what makes your "simple reading" anything other than your "private interpretation"?? Hello pot, this is kettle! Have you considered heeding your own admonition (to keep your private interpretations to yourself)? A quick perusal of a few postings will reveal the level of spam you unload on this sight.....so I say, "physician, heal thyself". It's gonna be a good day Howard, Marianne, Anon, Caiaphas, or whoever....God bless your soul!
DeleteAs for your last statement, "You are messing with eternity here"....I could say the same to you.
John 14:6 " I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the father, but by me"
Doesn't mention anything about being kept from eternity because of a symbol on a flag. We're not saved by a flag...we're saved by Christ. Really really simple, but hard to accept. All we need is Christ.
That's all that's needed, but you keep straining for that gnat bud.
As for dual fulfillment...it's a pretty standard pattern in the Bible. One such example, the first three feasts were both (ie dual fulfilled) by the Exodus of the Jews AND the first coming of Christ.
Interesting point made above re October 13th 2017 being the 100th anniversary of the last Fatima "Mary" appearance in 1917. There's a ton of info on line for anyone who wants to check it out. No idea who this guy is or where he gets his info but check out what he wrote back in 2015 in light of the Rev 12 sign that just happened and the 8th day of Tabernacles discussion https://melbrake.wordpress.com/2015/03/15/october-13-2017-return-of-woman-clothed-in-the-sun/
ReplyDeleteSomething else that is alarming is the fact that the Jesuits were dealt a huge blow on Friday the 13th of October, 710 years ago. Is this merely a coincidence? Another alarming "coincidence" is that Bill Clinton just helped write a "fictional" novel that is going to be turned into a series titled...."The President is Missing". Can't make this stuff up.
DeleteWe know that a strong delusion will be sent across the earth at the time the tribulation begins. We also know that an explanation will be needed to explain the disappearance of millions. Considering the content of the messages that have been given to date from this entity, the target audience, the timing of the 100th anniversary of the last "appearance of Mary" and the speculation around what is to occur this October 13th it is curious for sure.
ReplyDeleteOk let's look at the timing of the Strong Delusion in 1 Thess 2:11. The Man of Sin must be revealed the son of perdition (1 Thess 2:3) This is Antichrist exhaling himself above God, sitting in the Temple; none of these things have happened or could happen until the 3rd Temple is finished.;; this will require destruction of the Al Aqsa Mosque first.
DeleteYour opening statement is scripturally false.
Body Resurrection occurs at the 7th Trumpet (1 For 15L52; 1 Thess 4:16) 2 Thess 2:7 refers to the "mystery of iniquity" at work; this "mystery of iniquity" will be finished as described in Rev 10:7 by the 7th angel.
None of this even hints at a Pre-Tribulation Rapture
