Over the past several months, natural
disasters have struck with unusual frequency around the world, including
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, major floods and landslides. At the same time, military conflicts have intensified in the Middle East and in the war between Russia and Ukraine. As
the war in Iran has spread toward Saudi Arabia and Yemen, and as Russia has issued nuclear threats against NATO nations, these
military conflicts could lead to the catastrophic "Armageddon"
prophesied in the Book of Revelation (16:16).
These disasters and wars correspond to Jesus’ warning concerning the period before the
"Second Coming" stated in the Gospel of Matthew: "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth
pains." (Matthew 24:6-8)
However, these disasters and conflicts
are just the darkness before dawn. After these "birth pains," the good
time will come, as Christ the Messiah will return for the "Second
Coming" as prophesied in the book of 1 Thessalonians: “For the Lord
himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel,
and with the trump of God (the trumpet call of God)." (1
Thessalonians 4:16, KJV/NIV). This prophecy associates the " Second Coming" with the sounding of the trumpet of God, which indicates
that the culminating moment of the " Second Coming" will take place on the Feast of Trumpets.
1. The Feast
of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement for the “Second Coming” of Christ
The Feast of Trumpets—also known as
Yom Teruah or Rosh Hashanah—marks the beginning of the Jewish High Holy Days.
It is observed on the 1st day of Tishri in the Hebrew calendar and traditionally
begins at sunset the evening before, starting the Ten Days of Repentance that
lead up to Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
In 2026, the Feast of Trumpets / Rosh
Hashanah begins at sundown on Friday, September 11, and is observed on Saturday,
September 12, and Sunday, September 13. This holiday of Yom Teruah, or Rosh
Hashanah, is a time of reflection, prayer, and renewal as the community prepares
for the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, which begins at sundown on Sunday,
September 20, and continues through Monday, September 21, 2026.
The Day of Atonement, or Yom
Kippur, is the holiest and most solemn holy day of the year in Judaism. Once a year the high priest entered the
sanctuary to make atonement for the nation: one goat was sacrificed, and the
other was sent away as the scapegoat bearing the nation’s sins.
In the New Testament, Jesus is the
greater high priest who offered his own blood as the atoning sacrifice once for
all humanity. In teachings on the Second Coming, the Feast of Trumpets is linked
to the announcement or appearing of the Messiah, while the Day of Atonement
points to repentance, redemption, judgment, and final cleansing.
In Leviticus 23, God appointed
seven feasts of the year for the Israelites to remember what God had done for
them and to live in covenant with God. Although these feasts were
proclaimed to the Israelites in the Old Testament, they have special prophetic meaning
related to the coming of Christ the Messiah. The first four feasts in the spring are related
to the “First Coming” of Jesus Christ, while the last three feasts in the
fall point to the “Second Coming” of Christ the Messiah.

Now, as the time of the “Second Coming”
has arrived, the Messiah of the “Second Coming” will come out on these three
feasts in the fall according to the divine plan of God.
1. The Prophetic Meaning of the Feast of
Trumpets in the Hebrew Year 5787
According to the Hebrew calendar, the Feast of Trumpets
is also the first day of Hebrew year 5787, which begins at sundown Friday,
September 11, 2026, and ends on October 1, 2027. The first full day of the Feast
of Trumpet in the Hebrew year 5787 is Saturday, September 12, 2026. The number
5787 means “5,787 years since Creation.”
In the Hebrew calendar, the year 5787 is
abbreviated תשפ״ז. That is Tav (400) + Shin
(300) + Peh (80) + Zayin (7) = 787, with 5,000 conventionally omitted. These
characters carry the following symbolic meanings:
ת —
Tav: mark, sign, completion
ש — Shin: tooth, fire, divine name
פ — Peh: mouth
ז — Zayin: weapon/sword, in modern pictograph, it
resembles “a Crown on the
top of a Scepter or Rod of Iron.”
These symbolic meanings match the
description of the “Second Coming” of Christ the Messiah in the Bible’s
Book of Revelation. “His eyes are like blazing fire, and on
his head are many crowns. He has a name written on
him that no one knows but he himself.” (Revelation 19:12) The pairing פ
+ ז—mouth and sword—together with the pictograph of
a crown on a scepter, matches the next verse: “Coming out of
his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down
the nations. ‘He will rule them with an iron scepter.’”
(Revelation 19:15) The “Crown” and “Scepter” represent
Royal Authority, as Christ the Messiah has this name written on his robe:
“King of Kings and Lord of Lords” (Revelation 19:16).
The Book of Revelation prophesied the
Five Stages of the “Second Coming,” beginning with the birth of the “Man
Child” in Revelation 12. Revelation 19 is the completion of that
sequence—the Grand Finale of the Five Stages of the “Second Coming” in the
Book of Revelation. Those who follow Christ the Messiah in this historic event
are marked with “the seal of the living God on their foreheads”
(Revelation 7:3).
In this reading, תשפ״ז gathers
those same signs: the Seal (Tav), the fire and the divine name
(Shin), the sword from the mouth (Peh and Zayin), and the crowned scepter of the
King. The Hebrew year 5787 contains all the key elements of the prophecies
of the "Second Coming" in the Bible's Book of Revelation.
3. The Astrological Signs of the “Second
Coming” Before the Feast of Trumpets
As revealed in the previous article, “The Astrological
& Celestial Signs of the Second Coming in 2026”, the Hebrew year 5786,
which ends on September 11, 2026, has the prophetic meaning of the “Messianic
Year”. July and August 2026 also brought six major astrological and celestial
signs associated with the “Second Coming” for the New Millennium:

(The Blood Moon) |
“The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the
moon into blood, before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes.”
(Joel 2:31) Same as Matthew 24: 29-30. |
With these major astrological and
celestial signs of the “Second Coming”, along with the prophetic meaning of
the Hebrew year 5786 as the “Messianic Year,” the Hebrew year 5787 will be
the year of completion—the fulfillment of the Messiah’s “Second Coming”
for the New Millennium.

4. The Prophetic Meaning from the Great American
Eclipse in 2024 to the Feast of Trumpets in 2026
On April 8, 2024, the first day of Nisan
in the Hebrew year 5784, a total solar eclipse—often called the Great North
American Eclipse—entered the continent from Mexico’s Pacific coast and
crossed the United States from Texas to Maine, then continued across parts of
Canada before leaving North America through Newfoundland. Along its path from
totality to 90% partial eclipse, this Great North American Eclipse passed seven
cities or towns named Nineveh and seven named Salem.
It carried specific prophetic meaning regarding the “Second Coming” of
Christ the Messiah for the New Millennium of Peace and Wisdom.
In the Torah and the Old
Testament, Salem means “peace,” and it was the ancient name of the Jerusalem
area in the time of Abraham, around 2000 BC, when Melchizedek was king of Salem.
By 1070 BC, King David had established the Kingdom of Israel in that region and
made Jerusalem its capital. After David died, his son King Solomon built the
great Temple of God, known as Solomon’s Temple. Therefore, the name Jerusalem
is often associated with shalom (“peace”) and the “city of God”
(Psalm 46:4, 48:1 and 87:3).
However, when the Israelites fell deeply into sins against the Word of God, God took the blessing away from them, and the great city of Jerusalem was invaded by the Babylonians in 597 BC. The great Temple of Solomon was destroyed in 586 BC. The remaining Israelites were taken captive to the Babylonian Empire until they were liberated by King Cyrus of the Persian Empire and allowed to return to Jerusalem to rebuild their temple.
Nineveh was a major city of the
Neo-Assyrian Empire in the eighth century BC, as described in the Book of Jonah.
God initially intended to judge it for its wickedness, but after Jonah brought
God’s warning to the city, all the people of Nineveh repented, and God spared
them from the judgment that was initially planned. In this sense, Nineveh
stands for both the city of sin and the city of repentance.
The seven places named Salem and the
seven named Nineveh along this Great North American Eclipse carry the same prophetic
meaning for the present condition of the world. After the rapid development of
technology and economy in the last century, much of the world has fallen
into sin and strayed from the Word of God. It is time for people to repent and
return to the Word of God before the judgment of God comes.
Before the Great North American Eclipse
on April 8, 2024, there was a Great American Eclipse on August 21, 2017, passing
across the United States from Oregon to South Carolina. These two great solar
eclipses in 2017 and 2024 formed a great sign of “X” across the United
States. In Greek, the word for “Christ” is “Χριστός,”
and the Greek letter X (Chi) has long served as an abbreviation for Christ, as
in “Xmas” for Christmas.
Therefore, this great sign of “X”
across the United States of America—formed by the
two Great American Eclipses of August 21, 2017, and April 8, 2024—indicated that Christ
the Messiah of the “Second Coming”
could come to the United States of America, the blessed new nation of God, rather than
to the old Jerusalem in the war-torn Middle East.
In the Book of Isaiah, the prophet
Isaiah also prophesied: “In the last days… The law will go out from Zion,
the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He will judge between the nations and will
settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against
nation, nor will they train for war anymore.” (Isaiah 2:3-4)
This is similar to the prophecies of the
“Second Coming” in the Book of Revelation. When Christ the Messiah of the
“Second Coming” arrives, “With justice he judges and wages war... and
his name is the Word of God” (Revelation 19:11-13). This indicates that
Jerusalem represents the seat of the Lord, where the Messiah of the “Second
Coming” will use the “Word of the Lord” to “judge between the nations
and will settle disputes for many peoples” and bring peace to all nations
by “beating their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning
hooks” (Isaiah 2:4).
However, the Jerusalem in the Book of
Revelation is not the same Jerusalem in the Book of Isaiah. In the Book of
Revelation, the letter to the church in Philadelphia prophesied a “New
Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God” (Revelation
3:12). This indicates that a “New Jerusalem” will be a new place at the time
of the “Second Coming,” other than the existing Jerusalem in Israel.
As the
United States of America was born in the city of Philadelphia, where the
Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776, this letter to the
church in Philadelphia does carry prophetic meaning for the United States, even
though the Philadelphia in the Book of Revelation was a city in Asia Minor, not
the Philadelphia in America.
There are currently about 14,000
Christians in Jerusalem. Christians make up only about 2 percent of the city’s
population, and most people in Jerusalem do not accept Jesus as their Messiah.
Therefore, the Old Jerusalem in Israel will not be the place for the “Second
Coming” of Christ the Messiah. Both the letter to the church in Philadelphia
and the celestial sign of the “X” formed by
these two Great American Eclipses confirmed that the New Jerusalem of the “Second
Coming” will be in the United States of America.
From April 8, 2024
to
September 12, 2026: 888 Days (Inclusive)
 |
 |
The Great Sign
of “X” (Christ) across the United States
was formed by Two Great American Eclipses
on August 21, 2017, and April 8, 2024 |
The Feast of
Trumpets/ Rosh Hashanah begins at
sundown on September 11, and is observed on
September 12, and September 13, 2026 |
From the date this great sign of the “X” was
completed in April 2024, the Feast of Trumpets on September 12, 2026, is
exactly the 888th day from April 8, 2024. In biblical
numerology, the number 888 corresponds to
the name “Jesus” in Greek. Therefore, on
the 888th day from the date this great sign of the “X”(Christ) was formed
across the United States of America, the Messiah of the
“Second Coming” will come forth on the Feast of Trumpets to open a new
chapter in the historic event of the “Second Coming” for the New Millennium
of Peace and Wisdom.
5. The Real “Second Coming” of the
Messiah in the Physical World
Over the past several decades,
especially after the year 2000 at the start of the New Millennium, many
Christians and people of other faiths have anticipated the historic “Second
Coming” of the Messiah for the New Millennium. A widespread expectation is
that this event will take the form of a visible, supernatural descent of Christ
from the sky, accompanied by the armies of angels, and that the faithful people
of God will be lifted from the earth in a rapture. Such a supernatural
phenomenon, however, belongs to the spiritual realm rather than to the physical
world.
The real “Second Coming” of the
Messiah in our physical world is not the supernatural phenomenon of Christ
descending from the sky with thousands of angels following him, but the coming
of the “Second Child” prophesied in the
Bible (Revelation 12:5), who will grow up and come forth as the “Rider on a
White Horse” in Revelation (19:11-16), the Peace
Messiah for the New Millennium of Peace and Wisdom.
In the Bible, there were two Children
prophesied to be born as the “Messiah”.
The “First Child” in the Bible was prophesied in the Book of Isaiah(9:6) in
the Old Testament, who was Jesus Christ in the New Testament of the Bible. The
“Second Child” prophesied in the Bible is that “Male Child” born under
the reign of the “Red Dragon” in the Book of Revelation 12:5. He has the “authority
of the Messiah” (Revelation 12:10) to “rule
all nations with an iron scepter” (Revelation 12:5 and 19:15).
This “Second Child” prophesied in
the Bible (Revelation 12:5) will be the Peace Messiah
for the New Millennium of Peace and Wisdom. He will bring forth the New
Revelation of the “Eternal Gospel” for
“every nation, tribe, language and people,” as prophesied in the Book
of Revelation 14:6 almost two thousand years ago, and herald in a Golden Era for
the New Millennium of Peace and Wisdom.
The
Spiritual Rapture of the “Second Coming” for the New Millennium
In the past, most people have
anticipated the Rapture as a supernatural phenomenon of people being abruptly
lifted into heaven. That is incorrect. As the “second child” in the Bible
who was “snatched up to God and to His throne” right after he was
born (Revelation 12:5), the Peace Messiah knows how the spiritual lifting works.
It is a person’s spirit being lifted into a higher spiritual dimension while
his physical body still remains on earth, so that he can gain the divine wisdom
to see the earthly events from a heavenly perspective.
Now that the Peace Messiah has come with
the new revelation of the “Eternal Gospel” for the New Millennium, those who
learn and accept the Divine Revelation of the “Eternal Gospel” will be
spiritually lifted to a higher spiritual level to "reign
with Christ a thousand years" (Revelation 20:6). That is the
Spiritual Rapture for the faithful people of
God, not the supernatural rapture that lifts people’s physical bodies out of
this world.
In the same way, the real “Second
Coming” of Christ the Messiah in our physical world is not the supernatural
phenomenon of Christ descending from the sky with thousands of angels following
him, but the coming of a humble man, the “Second Child” in the Bible, who
will bring forth the New Revelation of the “Eternal Gospel” to the faithful
people of God. “Here I am! I
stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will
come in and eat with that person, and him with me.” (Revelation
3:20)
