A WATCHMAN
The time of the Rapture (day or hour) no one knows, however, we are expected to know the "SEASON". The time of the 2nd Coming is very easy to determine.. Exactly one thousand and two hundred and ninety days from the time that the antichrist desecrates the Temple.
Daniel 12:11 "And from the time that the continual burnt-offering shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand and two hundred and ninety days."

The Feast of Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah
Observance:
As ordained by God, the Feast of Trumpets was to be observed on Tishrei 1.
Because this feast falls on the first day of the Jewish civil calendar, it is seen as a type of “New Years Day” for Israel. Traditionally, it is believed that Adam (mankind) was created on this day. Some also believe that Jesus, who is called the “Second Adam” (1 Corinthians 15:45) So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.) was born on this day.
The biblical record for observance of the feast is very simple: it was to be kept as a Sabbath day of rest and memorialized by the blowing of the trumpets, both in the Temple and throughout the land (Leviticus 23:23-25).
Future Fulfillment
According to tradition, the trumpet would be blown one hundred times at the Feast of Trumpets. The hundredth, or final, trumpet blast was known as the “last trump.” In the Bible, the last trump is associated with the resurrection/rapture of believers at the end of the age: “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump…. The dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed” (1 Corinthians 15:52)
The Torah refers to the Feast of Trumpets as, Yom Teruah, or the “day of awakening blast.” In Isaiah, an awakening blast is associated with the resurrection/rapture event: “Your dead will live…You who lie in the dust, awake and shout for joy” (Isaiah 26:19)
In addition to “resurrection,” the Bible associates the blowing of trumpets with other types of actions. One of these is the gathering of the assembly before God: “When they shall blow [the trumpets] with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle” (Numbers 10:3). This gathering of an assembly before the tabernacle (God’s dwelling place) typifies the Rapture, which will be a “gathering” of God’s people before the throne: “I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb” (Revelation 7:9)
The blowing of the trumpets is also associated with the sounding of an “alarm” in Scripture: “If ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies” (Numbers 10:9). The sounding of an alarm to go to war against an oppressor (the devil) also typifies the Rapture: Joel 2 we see the “alarm” (trumpet) being sounded as the Day of the Lord (commencing just after the Rapture) nears: “Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy hill. Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the LORD is coming” (Joel 2:1).
Rapture in that the trumpet blast on the Feast of Trumpets, will declare Jesus’ kingship!

The Wedding of Messiah
The Jewish wedding tradition is linked to the Rapture (and by association to the Feast of Trumpets) via numerous passages of Scripture. In Ephesians 5, for instance, Paul likens the joining of the Lord to the church (which occurs at the Rapture) to a marriage: “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless” (Ephesians 5:25-27)
Another passage that links the Jewish wedding tradition to the Rapture is Matthew 25’s parable of the ten virgins. Here, the Bridegroom represents the Lord, while the virgins represent the believers who He comes to snatch away at the Rapture, or “marriage”: “And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him…and they [the virgins] that were ready went in with him to the marriage” (Matthew 25:6, 10).
Yet another rapture/Jewish-wedding correlation is found in the Book of John. In Jewish culture it was customary that after the bride accepted the groom’s proposal, the bridegroom would depart, going back to his father’s house to prepare the bridal chamber. (It was understood to be the man’s duty to go away to be with his father, build a house, and prepare for the eventual wedding.) Before the bridegroom departed, however, he would say something along these lines to the bride: “I am going to prepare a place for you. I will come back for you so that you may come be with me in that place.” This traditional vow echoes what Jesus said to the Disciples in John 14, just before leaving to return to His “Father’s house” in Heaven: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am” (John 14:1-3).
The Question of Knowing
All of the above themes suggest that the Rapture will occur at the Feast of the Trumpets, beginning Tishrei 1, on the Hebrew Calendar. How is it possible to know the “day” of the Rapture when Jesus said that “no one knows the day or the hour?”

The Hidden Day
The Feast of the Trumpets is also known as Yom HaKeseh, or the “Hidden Day.” The term Keseh, or keceh, is derived from the Hebrew root kacah, which means to “conceal, cover, or hide.” Every day during the month of Elul (the month preceding Tishrei) a trumpet was blown to warn the people to turn back to God. The exception was the thirtieth, or last, day of the month (the day preceding the Feast of the Trumpets). On this day, the trumpet was not blown but all was silent. This was done to underscore the fact that much about the Feast of Trumpets is concealed, or shrouded in mystery. This somewhat mystical aspect is alluded to in the Psalms: “Sound the shofar on the new moon, in concealment of the day of our festival” (Psalms 81:3).
Adding to the mystery surround the Feast of Trumpets, the time of its commencement was uncertain, as it was uniquely dependent on the sighting of the New Moon. According to custom, the New Moon (a tiny sliver of the crescent) would have to be sighted by “two witnesses.” These witnesses were then required to go before the Sanhedrin (the Jewish religious court) and testify of its appearance before the feast could actually begin. Due to these two factors (the uncertain timing of the moon-sighting and the time required to have the sighting sanctified) the Feast of Trumpets was extended to a full forty eight hours; it therefore became the only two-day feast (Tishrei 1, 2) practiced in Israel. Because the Feast of Trumpets was two days long and no one knew what hour (depending on the moon) it would begin, it became the only feast of which it was said, “No one knows the day or hour” it will commence.
The Lord’s famous words in Matthew 24, “But of that day or hour no one knows,” are thus a reference to the Feast of Trumpets. This recalls the earlier acknowledged commonness of dual meanings in Scripture and the fact that a word or verse can have both a literal and a symbolic meaning. Here, in addition to making a true, literal statement, “No one can know the (exact) day or hour” of His coming, Jesus was alluding to the fact that this coming will occur at some point during the two-day Feast of Trumpets – the only feast that no one knew which “day or hour” it would begin.

In a pamphlet for Europeans titled Information to Those Who Would Remove to America, 1754, Benjamin Franklin wrote:
"Atheism is unknown there; Infidelity rare and secret; so that persons may live to a great age in that country without having their piety shocked by meeting with either an Atheist or an Infidel.
And the Divine Being seems...pleased to favor the whole country."

Oh dear! The terrible SHOCK of meeting someone that doesn't believe what you believe, how horrifying.

Something distinguishes Christianity from all the religions of the world. Not only does it carry the truth of the redemption, by the death of our Savior for our sins on the cross, but it carries the fact that Christ rose again.
Only the Christian faith claims that its Leader died and rose again and is alive at this moment.
Many gravestones carry the inscription, "Here He lies" but on Christ's tomb are emblazoned the words, "He is not here" Christianity has no shrines to visit, no dusty remains to venerate, no tombs at which to worship. Many good men have lived, and still live, in the memory of those who knew them, but there is only one Man who conquered death...Jesus Christ and He will live forever.
sinful nature is always hostile to God....

From what I read about Horus, there is a discrepancy in the chart. Isis was married to Osiris, who was later killed and his body dismembered and his ***** thrown into the Nile river to be eaten by either a crab or a catfish. Isis, through her magical powers resurrected Osiris and made a golden phallus for him, which he used to impregnate her. The product of that union was Horus. No virgin birth. Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, nothing else, only the Spirit of God. It is incumbent upon each of us to chose what we want to believe and I am content with my belief. Joshua 24:15, "And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
