And there are certain days throughout the year that God has set aside as particularly special. They are His “appointed times”, and historically they have been incredibly significant. Over and over again we have seen God do big things during His appointed times, but even most Christians do not understand this pattern.
Just look at the ministry of Jesus. The appointed times that fall in the spring perfectly foreshadowed the most critical events at the end of His ministry. Jesus was crucified on Passover, He was put into the tomb just in time for the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, He rose from the dead on Firstfruits, and the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Apostles on Pentecost.
The appointed times in the spring are prophetic shadow pictures that were fulfilled down to the smallest detail by the first coming of Jesus. No other religion on the entire planet has anything like this.
And just as the appointed times in the spring were fulfilled by the first coming of Jesus, so will the appointed times in the fall be fulfilled by the second coming of Jesus.
I am certainly not saying that any particular event will happen during any particular year, but each year we want to be alert for whatever God may want to do during His appointed times.
This year, all of the appointed times that arrive in the fall just happen to occur during the month of September…
-The Feast of Trumpets (also commonly known as Rosh Hashanah) begins when the sun goes down on Monday, September 6th.
-Yom Kippur begins when the sun goes down on Wednesday, September 15th.
-The Feast of Tabernacles begins when the sun goes down on Monday, September 20th.
In recent years, an increasing number of Christians have started to celebrate these appointed times. Every single one of them throughout the year tells part of the story of Jesus, and when you understand how God orchestrated very elaborate prophetic patterns centuries in advance it will greatly strengthen your faith.
As we move into the upcoming appointed times and the remainder of 2021, there are certain things that I will be watching very carefully.
Once again, I will have my eyes on Israel. It has been described as God’s timepiece, and it will be the center of so much that happens during these last days.
If you hear of anything strange or unusual happening in the land of Israel in the coming days, please let me know about it.
And I will definitely do my best to share with my readers anything that I discover.
In the months ahead, I will also be watching for war. I think that Israel and Iran are so close to military conflict, and there are other hotspots around the globe that could suddenly erupt as well.
We are moving into very chaotic times, and most people will be absolutely blindsided by the events that are coming.

I am aware of God sending a message on one of his appointed times (feast days) if God chooses to send us a message I will be watching and listening.
