Lots of people (including me) are looking for Messiah Yeshua EACH AND EVERY DAY - the difference between those who are continiually watching and the false prophets is that we don't go around and say (lie) that we have the rapture date figured out and it is "confirmed" (and then explain away the false rapture dates when they fail)
If the false prophets cannot see the difference between continually watching and posting lies / false prophecies all over the internet about confirmed rapture dates then they have major problems.
Instead of repenting for their lies and failed prophecies they explain them away saying that it is because "they desire the Bridegroom" --- well, the BRIDE DOES NOT LIE about her Bridegroom so the false prophets are not the bride - they may desire the Bridegroom and they want to take his bride away from Him --- they are DECEIVERS who want to drag people down the broad road to hell right along with them.
Tony Ellsworth is a false prophet. he has claimed several rapture dates that he was able to figure out from the bible - and he was wrong each and every time. Just how long will gullible foolish people listen to a false prophet after their prophecies repeatedly fail? Just where is the biblical discernment???

Tony Ellsworth (2 Oct 2008) "Before Rushing off Disappointed"
Before Rushing off Disappointed…
If you are reading this then likely the Feast of Trumpets 2008 has come and gone without the Rapture. Disappointing for sure – I feel the same way. There will be plenty of “naysayers” and hecklers shouting “false prophet” and “I told you so” to many heartfelt Rapture Watchers.
First of all, I’d like to say something regarding the whole “false prophet” clamoring that takes place. If it is the “bride” that gets snatched and it’s the “groom” she’s lovingly waiting for then give “her” a break! She’s not a false prophet she just loves her husband and wants to be with Him really bad! Have you ever seen the “Gong Show”? I’m old enough that I have and I think Paul did too. You know what he said? You can have all these wonderful things right, spiritual gifting galore and the Theory of Rapturtivity (biblical version of Einstein) but if you don’t have love – Jesus gets out the “gong”. So don’t do it!!!
Many times it’s just a matter of communication. I know my wife and I are connecting as she is now identifying my Raptureology talk as “my love language”. How ingenious of her! That is exactly it!
The other thing I’d like to say is that no one has 100% Rapture knowledge (most of all – me!). I know I’ve been watching longer than some and far, far shorter than others. I’ve read many fascinating books, websites, etc. that have helped increase my knowledge about God, but no one has it all. Hey, maybe that is why we are the “body” and Jesus is the “head”.
One more thing is that sometimes we sound like a bunch of politicians arguing amongst ourselves. Sometimes for good reason, but then again there is a song that goes “you have excuses and I have reasons” – right???
What are the valid dates we can watch for the Rapture? In the spirit of the political debates we are daily experiencing right now here is my sound bite answer: “The Jewish feasts are a great place to start, but then again we can’t agree on the year or even what feasts have been fulfilled. To me it seems obvious that America has relevance to the Philadelphian Church and that leaves open holidays such as Thanksgiving which was modeled by the Pilgrims after the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles, Christmas, Easter and the 4th of July. Then there is watching for prophetic events that come so quickly and unexpectedly that would be a sign of the fullness of Gentiles. “
I feel like God taught me how to watch 19 years or one lunar cycle ago in the Pacific Ocean during our last Cold War. Before watch I was to gather all relevant information available and then I was to watch the surface of the water and the sky. When I saw something I was to report it. I have tried to incorporate these same principals into my daily watch for Jesus return and the Rapture. I know this, if I would have reported for watch duty and said “wake me up when we get within an hour of San Diego” I would have been sent to the brig (Navy jail).
So, I try and take in all the information I can and I learn so much from all of you – Thank you shipmates!
I watch the surface of the earth (things occurring daily) and the sky (things going on in the heavenlies, spiritual things). Anyway I don’t have all the answers, just my testimony that I’m sharing here…
With that I would encourage you that the Fall Feasts are a “process”. I think of it as a time for the “Judge of the Universe”. Abraham and Moses had covenants, Jesus fulfilled our debt, in Revelation the seals are opened and after all a marriage is not just a wedding it is a legal contract.
Here is how I see the legal process carried out during this time of year. And it’s not just me, the Jewish people believe this is the time that Jehovah opens up the Book of Life and all the other relevant legal books and that our destiny is set forth by Him – Now that’s what I call “Judge of the Universe”.
Pictorially it goes like this:
· Hoshana Rabbah: Hoshana Rabbah is the 7th day of the Feast of Tabernacles. It is at this time that the judgment declared on Rosh Hashanah (Feast of Trumpets) is made final or sealed. It is called the Great Day of Salvation.
Feast of Trumpets (Step 1)
We have been through the Feast of Trumpets and there was something very significant prophetically that happened this year – the $700,000,000,000 bailout and the corresponding largest single day drop in history of the Dow 777.68. And on the last day of the Feast of Trumpets the Senate passed the “bailout” bill.
In terms of “Judge of the Universe” I think of the Feast of Trumpets this way, this is when judgment is “rendered”.
Rendered means: to cause to be, to exhibit or show, to present for consideration, to represent, deliver, etc.
Having been through court with my children’s well being at stake I have become an expert in this area. This is when you wait for the Judge and after arguments are made at some point he “renders” a ruling and bangs the gavel.
Feast of Atonement/Yom Kippur (Step 2)
On the Feast of Atonement the judgment is sealed.
Sealed means: embossed, symbol, word, letter, a stamp, medallion, was impression, etc.
In my own testimony terms it means when you get the order in the mail with the Judge’s signature on it. Sometimes all we think of regarding Judge’s is negative outcomes. My favorite legal seal is the one on my marriage which happened to be right on Pentecost on the year my wife and I were married – Joy! A legal contract and seal can mean something very, very good.
When you receive a good judgment you want it to be irrevocable and legally sealed forevermore.
Feast of Tabernacles, Hashanah Rabbah 7th day
The Feast of Tabernacles has lots going for it.
· It is one of the feasts where all the males were required to go to Jerusalem.
· It is a “full moon feast”.
· If Jesus began lighting/fulfilling the menorah with the “Passover” candle/feast then Tabernacles is the other side if we are to meet in the middle/unity candle of Pentecost. I know this because I had to do it at my wedding!!!
· The Transfiguration of Jesus, Moses & Elijah
· And lots, lots more (I wrote directly about Tabernacles since it is a full moon feast in my book “Midnight Shout!” available via eBook free at my website www.midnighshout.com )
The 7th day is called Hashanah Rabbah and is October 20/21st this year. This is the day the Jewish people say that the judgment “rendered” on the Feast of Trumpets is “delivered” or carried out.
Deliver means: carry out, turn over, give possession, bring forth, set free or liberate, to give birth.
As I had mentioned about in regards to watching there is lots to do with all that is going on and there is no reason to jump too far ahead since we have much to watch on the horizon.
Surely the day is closer than it ever has been before…
Maranatha!
Blessings,
Tony
