We are in the Dawn of the Third Day: The Date of the End of the World Revealed!

 

Is it really that simple? Sometimes in life we are confronted with a perplexing problem of which we seek a solution and after trying to solve the problem with intricate solutions we finally stumble upon the fact that the solution to the problem was right there in front of us the whole time— ‘is it really that simple.’ 

That just happened to me, and it regards the date for the end of the world. Now, let me be clear I am not talking about the rapture—the rapture occurs at an unknown time between the midpoint and the end of the world—‘no one knows the day or hour.’ The end of the world is when Jesus comes back to the earth at the battle of Armageddon and the Millennium begins. 

So, I am going to show the ‘is it really that simple’ solution to the perplexing problem of what is the date of the end of the world—it is 2032 and here is why I can say that. 

Here is the data; let’s first take a look at Hosea 5:14-6:2

 

14 For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.

 

15 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.

 

1 Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

 

2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Hos 5:14-6:2 

This is a prophetic Old Testament passage about the God’s redemptive work in regard to Israel and the Messiah. In Hos 5:14,15 we see a clear reference to the loin of the tribe of Judah—Jesus—and His first coming to the earth and his leaving to go back to Heaven on the day of Ascension— ‘I will go and return to my place.’ And then in Hosea 6:1,2 we see Israel being restored to God in the Millennial kingdom— ‘in the third day.’ 

And when exactly will the raising up of Israel in the third day occur? The text indicates it will occur two days after Jesus the Messiah left them on the day of ascension— ‘after two days He will revive us.’ 

So, Jesus will return two days after He left. And when did He leave and how long is a day? He left in 33 AD. Please see the post; The Date of the Crucifixion—April 1, 33 A.D. for a thorough explanation of this topic. And how long is a 'day?' Peter gives us the answer to that question in a discourse about the end times.

 

1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:

 

2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

 

3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

 

4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

 

5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

 

6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

 

7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

 

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

 

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

 

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; 2 Peter 3:1-9

 

Now let’s put the 2 pertinent verses together.

 

2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Hos 5:14-6:2

 

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 2 Peter 3:8

 

Is it that simple? A day is equal to 1000 years, Jesus left in 33 A.D., and He will return after two days. Two days equals 2000 years. 

Before we do the math let me remind you that in Hebrew time reckoning a part of a day is counted as a whole day, thus our year one is 33 A.D. 

Year one was 33 A.D

Year two was 34

Year three was 35

Year four was 36

Year five was 37

Year six was 38

Year seven was 39

Year eight was 40

Year nine was 41

Year 10 was 42…

Year 100 was 132…

Year 1000 was 1132…

Year 2000 will be 2032. 

And that is exactly when Jesus will return, the last day of the Jewish year which ends in 2032, which is also the first day of the next Jewish year in 2032—Rosh Hashanah on 9/5/2032. 

And it just so happens that 9/5/2032 is exactly seven years—2520 days past the peace treaty that was just signed by ‘the many’ on 10/13/2025. This signing of the peace treaty by the many was a partial fulfillment of the Daniel 9:27 prophecy. See the post; A Life Altering Prophecy Event Just Occurred and Nobody is Talking About It! The Peace Plan was Just Signed and the Last 7 Years Has Begun! 

Thus, I conclude, the two days are almost over, the last seven years has begun, and we are in the dawn of the third day, is it really that simple? 

And as a confirmation of this hypothesis in the next 3.5 years—by the spring of 2029—we will see Seals 1 to 5; a conquering world force, world war, a hyperinflationary financial collapse, a 25% population drop, the ‘coming on the scene’ of the UFO alien connected antichrist, the strengthening of the peace treaty, a rebuilt Jewish temple, the abomination of desolation, the mark of the beast, and the antichrist war of persecution against Jews and Christians. 

And what about the rapture? Yes, the rapture is coming, and it will occur after the opening of the sixth seal at the day of the Lord. See the post; Sixth Seal Rapture. 

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

Is a Prophetic Countdown Underway for 2029 or 2032?

 

For generations, the question of when the end times will unfold has captivated believers. While the date of the Rapture remains a sacred secret known only to God the Father—“No one knows the day or hour”—a startling new possibility has emerged. A recent prophetic interpretation suggests we may now have the key to a timeline, a specific event that could allow us to calculate the dates for other significant milestones, from the Abomination of Desolation to the ultimate battle of Armageddon and the dawn of the Millennium. Are we closer than we think, could it be 2029 or 2032? Take a look at this chart. (Click on the image to enlarge)

 

The chart above was made with the following end-times parameters in mind. 

1. Realizing that Jesus fulfilled the spring feasts with major prophetic events—crucifixion on the feast of Passover, etc—allows us to conclude that Jesus will fulfill the fall feasts—Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Tabernacles—with major prophetic events. 

2. The prophet Daniel gives us several date number parameters of 2520 (a week = 7 prophetic years of 360 days) 1260 (times, times, half a time), 1290 and 1335 from abomination of desolation.

 

And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

 

And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

 

Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. Dan 12: 7,11,12 

3. The signing of the peace treaty with the many on 10/13/2025 could be the treaty that fulfilled the Daniel 9:27 peace treaty prophecy.

 

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Dan 9:27 

And since there was a peace plan signed exactly 2520 days (a week) before Rosh Hashanah in 2032 that would allow us to assign day 1 of the 70^th week, the last 7 years, to 10/13/2025 and day 2520 would be on 9/5/2032. 

Also realizing that the beginning of the Millennium most likely aligns with the feast of Tabernacles and the “blessed” in relation to the 1335 most likely aligns with the beginning of the Millennium allows us to align the beginning of the feast of Tabernacles with the 1335 days. 

What about the highly synced date of 9/30/2028? Based on the syncs, this has been identified as the most likely date of destruction upon America the Babylon. Remember America must be destroyed as a superpower in order for the New World Order and the antichrist to take control. So, its destruction would precede the midpoint as the chronology above indicates. 

And what about the other highly synced date of 9/30/2029?  The most likely event for this date based on the syncs is for God’s wrath to begin during the Day of the Lord. Here is the chart again. 

Is this the way it will work out? I cannot tell you for sure—“we see through a glass darkly.” BTW, the rapture occurs after the opening of the sixth seal, which occurs at an unknown time between the midpoint and when God's wrath begins.

Another possible chronology I have also presented has the last 7 years beginning in the fall of 2022, with the midpoint in early 2026, and Armageddon and the Millennium in 2029, as this chart indicates.

 

If the 2022-9 hypothesis is correct, then we will have to see the following by the end of the spring of 2026. 

1. Increasing war actions in WW3 leading to nuclear war. 

2. A worldwide hyperinflationary financial collapse. 

3. One fourth of the world’s population dying. 

4. A great UFO alien deception. 

5. The arising of the antichrist false messiah and his takeover of the world. 

6. The introduction of the mark--smart tattoo/implanted computer chip on right hand or forehead—no one can buy or sell without it. 

If we do not see those things develop by the end of the spring of 2026, then I would conclude that the last seven years did not begin in 2022. 

So, what’s it gonna be 2029 or 2032 or some other year for the beginning of the Millennium? As always time will tell, and we will know if it is 2029 by what happens in the next few months. As fellow prophecy watchers, I value your insights, what do all of you think? 

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

The September 2025 Rapture: The Shocking Truth Behind the Prediction

 

There has been a lot of chatter about the rapture occurring on 9/23/2025—Rosh Hashanah. I can tell you without hesitation and with 100% confidence that the rapture will not occur on 9/23/2025. 

The reason that I can say that is because the rapture is not imminent and has never been imminent and will not be imminent until several things occur first, such as the takeover of the world by the antichrist, the abomination of desolation, and the mark of the beast. 

After those things occur, then and only then, will the rapture be imminent. Thus, the rapture will not occur on Rosh Hashanah this year, I can 100% guarantee it because of what God’s Word says. Here is one of the supporting Bible passages. 

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 

Our gathering unto Him is the rapture. 

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 

The day of Christ/rapture is not at hand, not imminent. 

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 

Don’t be deceived these things must happen before the rapture; the antichrist must come to power, and perform the abomination of desolation. 

5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 2 Thes 2 

So, what do those verses say? Let’s sum it up; the rapture—coming of our Lord Jesus Christ—will not occur until after the abomination of desolation occurs when he sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 

So, NO RAPTURE ON ROSH HASHANAH IN 2025! 

Now, what I see as the possible next major prophetic event, which may occur this fall and may be around Rosh Hashanah, is the dividing of the land of Israel. 

And if that occurs, my prophetic research has led me to believe that great earthquakes will occur throughout the world, even possibly the dividing of the USA—think New Madrid fault, as you listen to this bit of nostalgia. 

 

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

Has the Red Heifer Been Sacrificed?

 Several reports have surfaced stating that the Red Heifer was covertly sacrificed. As most of you are aware the ashes of the Red Heifer are necessary for the dedication of the coming Jewish Temple. If so this has profound prophetic implications, which will be discussed below, but first the info.

 

So, there you have it, was it just practice or was it the real thing? Time will tell but if it was the real Red Heifer sacrifice, then there is nothing to prevent the building and dedication of the third temple. And the third temple is necessary for the antichrist to perform the abomination of desolation in. This will be followed by Jews fleeing into the wilderness, and the mark of the beast financial system. 

And yes, Christian you will see these things because the rapture does not occur until after Seal 6 has been opened. I have heard a lot of chatter about the possibility of the dividing of the land of Israel on Rosh Hashanah 2025 (9/23-24, 2025), which I agree is a definite possibility. However, they go further and say this is when the rapture will be. I can assure you there will be no rapture on Rosh Hashanah in 2025 because the antichrist has not come to power—Seal 5—and Seal 6 has not occurred either.

BTW, I think it is possible that one of the lying wonders of the antichrist is that he could fly a temple down out of heaven using anti-gravity technology.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

The Feasts of the Lord and End Times Prophecy

 

Image credit: The Feasts of Israel – Passover – Bible.org Blogs

Note: Out of all my 37 years of being in the ministry, this has been one of if not the busiest years ever. Not much time to post, so here is one from the archives.

Have you ever heard of the feast of Passover and its prophetic connection to the death of Jesus as the spotless Lamb of God? I am sure that you have. Did you know there are 6 other feasts of the Lord, and just as the feast of Passover had prophetic significance, so I believe the other feasts do also. 

In fact I believe that the spring feasts aligned with and were fulfilled by major prophetic events at the First Coming of the Lord Jesus and thus I believe the fall feasts will align with and will be fulfilled by major prophetic events involving the 70^th Week and Second Coming of the Lord. 

Therefore to help us establish a chronology of the 70th week we need take a more in depth look at the feasts of the Lord and their prophetic significance and implications. We will first examine the meaning of the word feast, which alludes to their significance. 

The Hebrew word translated ‘feasts’ means appointed times. The idea is that the sequence and timing of each of these feasts have been carefully orchestrated by God himself. Each is part of a comprehensive whole. Collectively, they tell a story. These feasts are also called ‘holy convocations’; that is they are intended to be times of meeting between God and man for ‘holy purposes.’^[1] 

God instituted seven yearly feasts for the Israelites to observe. There were four spring feasts and three fall feasts. The feasts, in calendar order with their associated Hebrew dates, are:

 

Spring Feasts (March to June) 

1. The Feast of Passover—14 Nisan

2. The Feast of Unleavened Bread. 15 – 21—Nisan

3. The Feast of First Fruits—16 Nisan

4. The Feast of Weeks—50 days after first fruits.

 

Fall Feasts (September to October) 

5. The Feast of Trumpets—1,2 Tishri

6. The Day of Atonement—10 Tishri

7. The Feast of Tabernacles—15 – 21 Tishri

 

Not only are these feasts significant from a relationship standpoint between God and man, but they also have prophetic implications: 

These seven feasts typify the sequence, timing, and significance of the major events of the Lord’s redemptive career. They commence at Calvary where Jesus voluntarily gave Himself for the sins of the world (Passover), and climax at the establishment of the messianic Kingdom at the Messiah’s Second Coming...^[2] 

Paul alluded to this prophetic connection in Colossians 2:16,17 when he said. 

16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 

Let’s expound upon this thought and see exactly how each feast points to a prophetic event. Without going into too much detail, we will summarize the prophetic implication of each feast. For a more thorough understanding of the feasts of the Lord, I would recommend Kevin Howard and Marvin Rosenthal’s excellent book The Feasts of the Lord. 

1. The Feast of Passover points to Christ as the spotless Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, and was fulfilled when Christ died on the cross for our sins on Passover on Friday Nisan 14, 33 A.D. 

2. The Feast of Unleavened Bread shows that Christ’s sinless body would not undergo decay, and was fulfilled when Christ’s body did not decay while in the grave. 

3. The Feast of First Fruits shows that Christ had power over death and was the first fruit of the resurrection and was fulfilled when Christ rose from the dead on the day of the feast of first fruits on Sunday Nisan 16, 33 A.D. 

4. The Feast of Weeks alludes to the pouring out of the Holy Spirit upon the initiation of the historical church period and was fulfilled on Pentecost on Sivan 6, 33 A.D. 

It is clearly evident that the first four feasts were fulfilled at the time of Christ’s First Coming and thus we can reason that the last 3 feasts will be fulfilled in events surrounding Christ’s Second Coming. Let’s examine the three remaining feasts, which occur in the fall, and see how they may be fulfilled. 

The fifth feast, the Feast of Trumpets, or Rosh Hashanah, is practiced as a two-day feast. 

Rosh Hashanah (Hebrew: ראש השנה‎, literally "head [of] the year") is the Jewish New Year. The Biblical name for this holiday is called Yom Teruah (Hebrew: יום תרועה‎, literally "day [of] shouting/raising a noise") or the Feast of Trumpets… It is the first of the High Holy Days or Yamim Nora'im ("Days of Awe")…Rosh Hashanah is a two-day celebration, which begins on the first day of Tishrei.^[3] 

I believe that since it is a two-day feast that it may have two separate and different fulfillments, one on the first day and one on the second.  One of the events I believe this feast may align with, though I am not dogmatic about this, is the rapture. The trump that is referred to at Christ’s coming to the clouds at the rapture may be a reference to the trumpet blown at this feast. 

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. (Matt. 24:30–31) 

The shofar blown on Rosh Hashanah is known as the last trump, which the apostle Paul mentioned in I Thes 4:16-17 and I Cor 15:52 in connection with the rapture. 

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

This last trump of God will signal the beginning of the Day of the Lord in which the righteous will be delivered and the wicked will be judged. In fact, ancient Jewish tradition held that the resurrection of the righteous dead would occur on Rosh Hashanah with the blowing of the shofar (trumpet), which is why a shofar was engraved on Jewish gravestones. These two major occurrences signaled by the blowing of the trumpet are consistent with the historical use of the trumpet in Israel as explained by Marvin Rosenthal: 

The blowing of the trumpet in ancient Israel had two primary functions. The first was to call a solemn assembly; that is, when the children of Israel were to be summoned to God’s presence, the trumpet was blown (Ex 19:13,17,19; Num 10:2). And second, when Israel, under divine direction, was to go to war, the trumpet was to be blown (Num 10:9; Jud 7; Jer. 4:19-21).^[4] 

Kevin Howard has this to say about the judgment aspect of the Feast of Trumpets 

Rosh Hashanah was often referred to as Yom Ha-Din (“Judgment Day”) by rabbis since it began the Days of Awe, the traditional time of God’s judgment.^[5] 

The prophet Zechariah tells of the judgment that will transpire when the trumpet is blown: “And the Lord shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord God shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south” (Zech 9:14). The benediction given for the last 2,000 years during synagogue services on Rosh Hashanah also speaks of the trumpet being blown at Rosh Hashanah at the Lord’s return, as explained by Kevin Howard: 

The benediction also speaks of the end of days when God will again reveal Himself through fire and the sounding of the shofar as He sends the Messiah: ‘The Lord shall appear over them; his arrow shall go forth like lightning. The Lord shall sound the shofar and march amid the storms of the south. (cf Zech 9:14)^[6] 

Another interesting fact about the Feast of Trumpets that correlates it to the rapture is that, in the ancient observance of the feast, no one knew the exact start of the feast. It always started on the first day of the Jewish year, which is the first day of the month of Tishri, but no one knew the exact day when a Hebrew month started. 

The Hebrew months start by the sighting of the new moon, and it was the job of the Sanhedrin to announce the beginning of the month when the new moon was observed. Of course, one could calculate an approximate time by counting 29.5 days since the last new moon, but it did not officially start until the Sanhedrin observed the crescent moon, and then declared it so. 

This correlates beautifully with the truth that no one knows the exact time of Christ’s return. Some even feel that Christ’s own words, “No one knows the day or hour” is a direct reference to this feast for this reason. In Jewish tradition Rosh Hashanah is also known as Kiddushin/Nesu'in or the wedding ceremony of the Messiah.^[7] 

In fact the practices involving the ancient Jewish wedding ceremony closely parallel the Messiah’s redemptive work. Pointing to the fact that the bridegroom/Christ will come for his bride—the church—at the rapture.^[8] Thus these facts are a strong indication that this feast may be fulfilled at the rapture and also since it has aspects of judgment, possibly at another event, namely Armageddon. 

Thus in conclusion; in regards to the prophetic significance of the 2 day feast of Rosh Hashanah. Since the feast involves aspects of deliverance and judgment and has rapture associations. I believe it is possible that this feast may align with the rapture of some unknown year, and the return of Jesus to the earth at Armageddon. 

The Feast of Trumpets also starts the time period known as the Days of Awe. The Days of Awe are a 10-day period between Rosh Hashanah and the Day of Atonement in which observant Jews are to engage in a solemn time of self-examination. Tradition holds that these days are the last chance to repent before God’s judgment is finalized.^[9] 

Prophetically, I believe these days may be fulfilled when after the last trumpet of the Feast of Trumpets, which calls for a solemn assembly; Israel will assemble for seven days and will receive Christ as their savior on the eighth day, which will be the Day of Atonement. This may happen directly after the rapture when Israel and all the world see Jesus in the sky. 

Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement is the most solemn and important holy day of the Jewish calendar. In the Old Testament, the Day of Atonement was the day the High Priest made an atoning sacrifice for the sins of the people. This act of atonement brought reconciliation between the people and God.^[10] 

I believe this feast will align with the time after Israel repents and officially recognizes Christ as Messiah and will be saved. And when will this occur? Most likely after Israel flees into the wilderness after the abomination of desolation and after the rapture. 

The final feast is the Feast of Tabernacles and is associated with Israel’s time in the wilderness. 

Sukkot, Succot or Sukkos, Feast of Booths, Feast of Tabernacles is a week-long biblical Jewish holiday celebrated on the 15th day of the month of Tishrei… The sukkah is intended as a reminiscence of the type of fragile dwellings in which the Israelites dwelt during their 40 years of travel in the desert after the Exodus from slavery in Egypt. ^[11] 

I believe this feast will align with the time when Israel will once again find themselves in the wilderness after fleeing the antichrist. And once again God will watch over and provide for them for 3.5 years.

 

Putting It All Together 

I view the prophetic implications of the fall feasts as follows: 

1. The Feast of Trumpets is practiced as a two-day feast that alludes to the return of Christ during the event known as “The Day of the Lord” in which the righteous will be raptured and the wicked will be judged. I believe this feast will start to be fulfilled at the beginning of the Day of the Lord when Christ comes to the clouds for His bride and will be totally fulfilled after God’s enemies will be vanquished at the battle of Armageddon and Jesus takes His throne in Jerusalem. 

Note: I am not dogmatic about the rapture aligning with Rosh Hashanah—I see other possibilities such as Pentecost, the day of Ascension, or at no feast at all. 

2. The Day of Atonement speaks of the shed blood of Christ and the substitutionary work it accomplishes in covering our sins and restoring us to fellowship with God. This feast will be fulfilled after Israel repents and recognizes Christ as Messiah and are saved on the Day of Atonement. 

3. The Feast of Tabernacles is a seven-day celebration in which the Israelites dwell in “booths” or shacks reminiscent of their journeying in the wilderness. This feast will be fulfilled when Israel will once again find themselves in the wilderness after they flee the antichrist after the abomination of desolation where God will protect and provide for them for 3.5 years. This feast may also align with the beginning of the Millennium in which God will dwell with man which starts with the marriage supper of the lamb. 

In summary this is the way I see it happening; 

Feast of Trumpets (1^st day): Rapture. 

Feast of Trumpets (2^nd day, years later): Armageddon.

Day of Atonement: Ethnic Israel will recognize Christ as Messiah and be saved. 

Feast of Tabernacles: Israel in the wilderness/beginning of the Millennium. 

I am certain that the fall feasts will have prophetic significance, whether or not I have all the details and nuances correct, I do not know. As the scriptures say, we see through a glass darkly. One thing is for sure, it is going to be fascinating to see how all this works out. 

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36
