The Feast of Trumpets 2026 is coming up soon on 9/11/26. We have learned to predict nothing and prepare for everything. Could the Lord come back for His people to pull His Church out of the earth and begin the 7 years of Jacob's trouble? Absolutely. Is He going to do it this year? Nobody knows. Everyone, that is 100% of those who claimed even with "confirmations" that "this is the year" have all 100% been wrong. Add to that zero in the Word of God asking us to predict or guess or "prophesy" when it will happen. The same people who told us "the Lord does nothing without revealing it to His prophets first" are the same people who have been wrong endlessly in the prediction game.
The Lord never told us to predict or even prophesy when He would return unexpectedly for us. In fact its quite the opposite. He told us it was and is His plan and intent to make it a day that nobody, including even the Son of God our Lord Jesus Christ knows:
Matthew 24:36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.”
Mark 13
32“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33Be on guard! Be alert e ! You do not know when that time will come. 34It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.
35“Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’ ”
So, nowhere did He tell us to predict His unexpected coming and 3 times in 6 verses He told us to watch. This ties in directly with the parable of the wise virgins in Matt 25
Matt 25
1“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6“At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
7“Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’
9“ ‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
10“But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.
11“Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’
12“But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’
13“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
He wants to us to be watching and ready, constantly, continually which admitedly is more work and requires daily obedience, faithfulness etc which is why its so much more convenient for many to predict then live however they want till whatever day they are predicting arrives. Problem is thats a fool's game.
In Matt 25 we also have the parable of the talents which is about putting to work what the Lord has given us in His service. Which includes all of our talents, skills, abilities, money and everything else. We are to "turn a profit" for our Master in this world by doing what He sent us here to do, centered in His Will. All this stuff is located in the same neighborhood in Scripture so we should be paying attention.
Also the Spirit of the Lord's focus and emphasis on "Love" the way He does it is telling. Love is the top shelf, graduation worthy topic at the very top of the learning pyramid in Christianity:
Matthew 22:37–40 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
Mark 12:30–31 “And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” The second is this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” There is no other commandment greater than these.
All the law and the prophets hang on this ^^^. Thats the whole enchilada in two bites. Maybe we should get "love" the way our Lord does it, really right. He has been preparing His people for His arrival for some time now. He has encouraged us to do all the things we should do to be ready. It would not be surprising at all that the final chapter before the Church leaves this earth is written heavy in Love.
So, we have no idea when the Lord Jesus Christ will return for His Church but we do know alot of other things like we are to be watching and ready for it whenever it happens. If we are doing the things He told us to do when He arrives unexpectedly we dont have to worry about times and dates.
This is an encouragement to you to level up into the highest very best version of yourself day after day, centered in His Will. If you do this, whatever day He decides to pull us out of here will be a good day.
Please join with your brother in praying over the prayer targets today.
Glory to God
grace and peace
