I have been watching for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ to rapture His Bride to heaven for decades now, and I was really expecting that this year, during the Feast of Trumpets, He would do so. It didn't happen as I had hoped, but I know that I was not wrong to blow the trumpet in Zion, and alert the Church, as well as the world, to prepare for the imminent rapture. Jesus is still coming very soon, and it's time to get our lives right with Jesus right now. That hasn't changed, as I will come back to at the end of this post. This blog is dedicated to watching and waiting for the Lord's return, and warning others about the signs pointing to that happening very soon. That being said, I would like to share the following important message with you.
As I wrote in my last article, there are some new videos out there on Youtube purporting that the reason the rapture didn't happen this week of September 23rd and 24th is because the Jews and Christians are all using the wrong calendar, therefore they say the actual date of the Feast of Trumpets and the rapture is during the week of October 6-7 during the full moon. They use Psalm 81:3 as their key text. And the videos are multiplying rapidly. I would highly recommend you check out my rebuttal completely disproving to the theory that the Feast of Trumpets will occur on those dates.
That erroneous theory is based on faulty initial premise that a solar eclipse occurred during the crucifixion of Christ, thus the entire argument is faulty and contradicts Scripture, Hebrew language, history, the lunar cycle, and common sense, so it doesn't bear up under proper scrutiny.
That being said, I have some good news, which I shared in the conclusion of the above-referenced article:
It's true that the Feast of Trumpets is widely believed by Christians to symbolize the rapture, since it involves trumpets, and the rapture will happen at the last trumpet, according to Scripture (1 Cor 15:52). That is why we were all expecting and hoping that the Lord would return to rapture His Bride during the Feast of Trumpets this year.
However, as I explained in my article that I wrote in 2019, called The Typology of the Jewish Feasts, the Jewish feast that symbolizes the rapture is the Feast of Tabernacles. This was revealed to a pastor named Roland Buck by the angel Gabriel back in the 1970's, and written in the book by Charles and Frances Hunter, called Angels on Assignment, regarding his many encounters with angels.
The Feast of Tabernacles in 2025, called Sukkot, is October 6th through the 13th. It will begin with the full moon on October 6th. We also know that for many years, the Lord has given rapture dreams to people where there were two or more full moons at the time the rapture occurred. This is a well-known fact, which I believe the Lord did to emphasize the full moon as the time when the rapture would occur. Since the Feast of Trumpets always occurs on Tishrei 1 and 2 beginning with the new moon, the dreams of a full moon at the time of the rapture would make no sense.
The Feast of Trumpets, according to what the angel Gabriel told Roland Buck, symbolizes evangelism-- going and telling the world the good news that Jesus saves. What just happened during this month's Feast of Trumpets was exactly that. Many of us were evangelizing around the world, and thousands of people came to Christ! In fact, in our ministry there were hundreds that got saved through outreaches held by our team members in Uganda, South Sudan, and Nigeria, some of whom risked their lives for the gospel and continue to do so. That's all good fruit.
What just took place was the blowing of the trumpets as we told the world that Jesus is coming, and that everyone should get ready. The Lord is pleased with His watchmen for blowing the trumpet. Now could it be that the next trumpet is going to be the last trumpet?
Scriptures
This feast was a celebration of the exodus from Egypt when the children of Israel lived in tents for forty years in the wilderness. This feast anticipates the eternal dwelling places that Jesus Christ has prepared for us.
Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'On the fifteenth of this seventh month is the Feast of Booths for seven days to the LORD." (Lev 23:33-34).
Jesus said: "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father's house has many mansions; 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." (Joh 14:1-3)
"For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord." (1Th 4:15-17).
"Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality." (1Co 15:51-53)
Confirmation
After sending an email on September 25, 2025 to my students, graduates, and members of my team overseas, showing them why I didn't believe that the Feast of Trumpets is in October (see article), the following amazing confirmations from the Lord happened.
Confirmation 1 - Email from brother Henry
I received the following email from brother Henry in South Sudan, who is one of our team members there who has graduated from our three-year discipleship school, and is a missionary pastor-evangelist. He wrote:
When I read this [email from brother Len disproving the theory that the Feast of Trumpets is actually in October] yesterday, I entered into deep prayers, asking God to say to me anything as I continue with His work in this country of so many challenges and persecutions. I prayed and told God, "I have waited for you to take me this September, and am still waiting for you, my Lord Jesus Christ."
Afterward, I had a dream, but more than a dream. Since I had not fully slept, I don't even know how it happened. In fact, I didn't even finish that prayer well. I can't understand the last words of my own prayer. Here is what happened in this vision in the state between asleep and awake:
I saw on my phone that I had received an email from you, bro Len. So I opened the email, and the email was saying that the Holy Spirit has revealed to you that "the Lord is coming, time is over. He is coming at this time. Let's prepare for Him, but not by ourselves, because Jesus knows us. But let's take the gospel to the people and tell them Jesus is coming. That's the preparation Jesus wants." When I was reading this email in the vision, I was hearing a very deep voice inside me saying, "Prepare the way, prepare the way, prepare the way."
Then immediately I came back to my normal senses. When I did, I couldn't tell whether it was a dream or what. I rushed to check my phone, in order to see if I had received an email from you. However, since I had not received any such email similar to that, I knew this was a revelation from God. Fear filled my heart so much, as though I still haven't done enough of preaching the gospel, and yet He is already coming. It felt to me at that time as if you were expecting a visitor to arrive at your home by midday, and by evening he had not arrived. So you try to call and see if he has changed his mind, but he tells you, "I am on my way."
I woke up my wife and the people I am with. We then entered into deep prayers of intercession for those who haven't received salvation yet. [End of Henry's email].
Confirmation 2 - Email from brother Grace
Upon receiving the email from brother Henry shown above in the first confirmation, I sent it to brother Grace in Uganda, who is another graduate of our school and team member of ours who serves as a pastor over multiple churches and itinerant preacher. After he read the email from brother Henry, brother Grace replied to me:
"Praise the Lord my brother! God is awesome in all He does!!
I dreamt last night that you sent me an email, but I can't remember its content. When I read this email from you and brother Henry, I concluded that this email you just sent to me about his dream is the one I dreamed about!
I was analyzing the message from brother Henry, and in the Spirit it's an urge from the Lord!
Let me know your thoughts on the same;
Be blessed brother." [End of Grace's email].
Confirmation 3 - Conversation with brother Grace
Today the 26th of September, 2025, I was about to read my Bible, and felt led to check the date when the Feast of Tabernacles will occur this year in October. When I saw that it was October 6th - 13th, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly filled me and I was overflowing with joy. So I immediately called brother Grace in Uganda, not knowing that he was already in bed sleeping, in order to share my discovery with him, and explain to him what has now become the content of this present article, I felt the presence of the Lord as I spoke to him. The presence of the Lord is always a good indicator for me that the Lord is involved; in fact, it's the best type of confirmation you can ever receive. Therefore, I believe the Lord is in this, but you should take it to the Lord to ask if it is or not.
Closing Words
Could it be that it will occur during the Feast of Tabernacles in October? No man knows the day or the hour, but we can know the season, and this is the season that we are in now. He is right at the door.
We should always be ready for Jesus' return at any time, watching, praying, and keeping our lamps burning (see video); but I think these are certainly significant warnings that should put us all on high alert for the rapture to happen very soon. I am not saying the rapture will definitely occur during the Feast of Tabernacles, although I think we are still in a high watch period.
Whether you believe it or not, one thing is for sure -- Jesus is coming back soon! You need to get your life right with Jesus right now. Give your life to Jesus before the rapture happens and before the Great Tribulation begins. Repent and return to the Lord with fasting and prayer, seeking His face with all your heart, proving your repentance by your deeds.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus. Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?
“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15). He preached that we must repent and believe.
Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
