Because it is always night somewhere and always day somewhere on Earth we know that he cannot come at Sunrise for everyone nor can he come at night for Everyone. In this post I will make the case that he will come at Sunrise for Israel and Midnight for Babylon (USA) and I will do so using scripture and also show how the sun, moon, and stars align.

It was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure.

The Third Day in the Morning

And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that were in the camp trembled. — Exodus 19:16

And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices (sound of trumpet) and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. (The 7 churches). — Rev 4:5

The Greek word translated as “Voices”

I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day (The day of YHVH), and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet. — Revelation 1:10

As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamp stands, the seven stars are the angels (spirits) of the seven churches, and the seven lamp stands are the seven churches. — Revelation 1:20

This tells me that upon hearing the sound of the trumpet the seven churches will be gathered before the throne. This would be a rapture that is occurring at the same moment that a “thick cloud upon the mount” and “all the people trembled”. Because this is the same moment the judgment befalls those not gathered with the seven churches.

And there were voices (voice of the trumpet), and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. — Revelation 16:18

And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices (voice of the trumpet), and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. — Rev 8:5

And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices (sound of the trumpet), and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail. — Rev 11:19

Back to Exodus

Notice on the third day, in the morning, at Mt. Sinai which is in the same timezone as Israel.

And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled. — Exodus 19:16

Yeshua Raised at Sunrise with earthquake, Angle coming from heaven, lightning, and “guards like dead men”.

Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. 4 And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. 5 But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. — Matthew 28

In this passage all of the symbolic words and phrases from Exodus and Revelation are present!

We are the Body of Christ

Now you are the body of Christ, and members in particular. — 1 Corinthians 12:27

For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. — 1 Corinthians 12:12

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

And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again. — Matthew 20:19

The life, death, and resurrection of Yeshua is a Parable or Similitude for the the body of Christ. We have been mocked, scourged, and killed by the Gentiles for 2000 years. He was raised early, while it was still dark, toward dawn of the 3rd day. We will be raised early, while it was still dark, toward the dawn of the millennial reign.

From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. — Matthew 16:21

Notice that we suffer many things because of the scribes which have lied and manipulated the translations.

And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry. — Matthew 17:23

Warning to be Ready By the Third Day

And be ready against(by) the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai. — Exodus 19:11

And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes.

Washing clothes is an important part of being ready by the 3rd day.

he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water (Baptize), and be unclean until the even. — Lev 15:11

The command to wash and bathe occurs 15 times (the number of Rest).

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen — Matthew 28:19–20

Part of being ready is being baptized, which is symbolic of repentance and is observing all things he has commanded us.

Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him. — 1 John 2:4

Knowing him and keeping his commandments go hand-in-hand.

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will (keep his commandments) of My Father in heaven…. And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness (not following commands)!’ — Matthew 7:21–23

Back to Exodus Again…

And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled. — Exodus 19:16

Third Day in the Morning

In the context of the end times “the mount” could be interpreted as the typology of “the nation” or “Babylon”. By using the symbolic linking of the phrases in Exodus to the descriptions in Revelation we can infer that “on the third day in the morning” completes the typology, especially because we also know that “on the third day” he will raise us up.

And Abraham (Israel) rose up early in the morning, …, and went unto the place of which God had told him. And on the third day Abraham (Israel) lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. — Genesis 22:3–4

For the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads (eyes), because your redemption is drawing near.” — Luke 21:27–28

Secure Against Rising at Night

Command therefore that the tomb be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. — Matthew 27:64

This verse could be interpreted to imply that Yeshua will not rise at night.

The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the tomb, and tomb the stone taken away from the tomb. — John 20

Coming on the Clouds

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. — Revelation 1:7

And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: — Exodus 13:21

in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God. — Exodus 16:12

For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys. — Exodus 40:38

Every morning the cloud came, and every evening it left.

And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud. …And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and [He] took him up into the mount.— Exodus 24:16,18

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. — 1 Thess 4:17

Applying this typology we can infer that when he comes in the cloud, it will be in the morning. If he was coming at night, he would come as fire.

Timing of His Arrival

In my last post and in the following video I showed the signs in the sun, moon, and stars that match the descriptions painted by Revelation. I arrived at the date by following His feast days and the scripture and then the signs confirmed it.

Sunrise in Jerusalem on October 9th is 6:40 AM. I thought that was interesting because that is the number of man (6) and the number of judgment/trial (40). Jerusalem is 7 hours ahead of the United States so he will come like a thief in the night (midnight) arriving at 11:40 PM on October 8th on the East Cost of the USA (Babylon the Great) as fire devouring everything.

Joy Comes in the Morning

This Psalm starts out talking about a “drawing up” or a “rapture” out of the hands of the foes. It talks about healing, which will occur at the same time. It talks about raising the dead from Sheol. Then says his anger is “but for a moment” which is a key phrase that is always tied to judgment day. He comforts those who mourn, but then declares that Joy (rapture) comes with the morning.

The sun sets in Jerusalem at 6:14, the number of Man and the number of deliverance and salvation. Passover was on the 14th day of the month. Just like on Passover, we will be spared from the angel of death.

Strongs H640 = To Bind (and throw into the fire), 6 man, 40 judgment
Strongs H614 = Ingathering or Harvest, 6 man, 14 passover/salvation

Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles (cities) to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn. — Matthew 13:30

Sunrise for Israel (The Redeemed) — Woman clothed in Bright White
Thief in the Night for Babylon the Great (Washington DC)
Taurus is the wild ox, his horns will gore people to the ends of the earth.

His glory is like a firstborn bull, and his horns like the horns of the wild ox; Together with them He shall gore the peoples to the ends of the earth;
— Deu 33:17

When Does the Day Begin?

The Pharisee teach that the day begins at Sunset. Yeshua warned us to beware the levin (doctrine) of the Pharisees.

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light. — Isaiah 5:20

In my last video I demonstrated that I found the Sign of Revelation by following a Full Moon calendar rather than a dark or 99% dark moon calendar. I believe the Pharisees have also perverted the definition of the Biblical day by starting it in darkness.

Consider the following:

Nevertheless, do not let this one fact escape you, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. — 2 Peter 3:8

Now consider the following chart, adapted from september2021.com that teaches the “Hebrew day starting at night” while showing that Yeshua rose “in the morning” that happened to be the start of the 5th day of creation.

7 Millenia as 7 Days

While not scripture, I think it is fascinating that “everyone agrees” that 500 AD to 1000 AD is called the “dark ages”. This is not direct Evidence, but I find nothing happens by “chance” with YHVH.

What evidence from “scripture” do we have for sunrise start of day?

Passover Instructions

YHVH said to Moses… “Take care of the lambs until the fourteenth day of the same month, when all the members of the community of Israel must slaughter them between noon and sunset… that same night they are to eat the meat… do not leave any of it until morning. … on that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn”. — Exodus 12

Passover Instructions

Day of Atonement

YHVH said to Moses, “The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. Hold a sacred assembly and deny yourselves, and present a food offering to YHVH… It is a day of sabbath rest for you, and you must deny yourselves from the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening you are to observe your sabbath” — Leviticus 23:26–32

Day of Atonement

All the days of the earth, seed-time and harvest shall never cease, cold and heat, summer and winter, and DAY and NIGHT shall not change their order nor cease forever. Jubilees 6:4–5

While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease. — Genesis 8:22

Miscellaneous Interpretation Comparison

End at the Beginning — The “Technical Definition”

In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was a formless and desolate emptiness, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of Elohim was hovering over the surface of the waters. Then Elohim said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. Elohim saw that the light was good; and Elohim separated the light from the darkness. Elohim called the light “day,” and the darkness He called “night.” And there was evening and there was morning, one day. — Genesis 1

First Day

The opening verse is an introduction to what will happen, creating the heavens and earth, but the heavens and earth are not created and named until days 3 and 4. The next verse establishes that there was nothing, darkness being the absent of light. However, “In the beginning Elohim (God)” combined with “Elohim is light and in Him there is no darkness” from 1 John 1:5 establishes that Light created the heavens and the earth and that it came before darkness. Furthermore, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim.” combined with the first spoken words “Let there be light” makes a strong case for Light entering the picture before darkness.

The period of time from Evening to Morning is called Night. He named the light “Day” first, before naming the darkness “Night”. How silly is it that Pharisees try to define a 24 hour “day” with the phrase “Evening to Morning” and then also try to define a 24 hour day as “Evening to Evening” when referring to the Day of Atonement.

Conclusion

And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. … this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. — Acts 1:9–11

Yeshua left in a cloud and will come in a cloud and the cloud comes every morning. Yeshua was raised on the 3rd day, in the morning, with lightning, and an earthquake. We will be raised on the 3rd day, with lightning, and an earthquake… so probably also in the morning!

Evidence suggests that the Biblical day starts at Sunrise, Yeshua was raised at the morning of the 5th day (1000 years), and we will be raised in the morning of the 7th day (1000 years).

Plus, evidence from the sun, moon, and stars lines up with him coming at Sunrise in Jerusalem and as a Thief in the Night for Babylon (USA).
