) God has ordained that one day He will come to earth again to take his followers home and then He will hold a marriage supper to celebrate His marriage to His bride (the Church) Though many argue whether Christ will return before the tribulation, during the tribulation, or after the tribulation, God in ordaining Rosh Hosanna and Yom Kippor has spelled out the sequence of the last days. (The coming of Christ followed by the time of tribulation, and finally the final judgment and the end of the age when Christ ushers in the new heaven and the new earth and rules for 1000 years, followed by the marriage supper in heaven-See “Before Your Eyes”) Since God fulfilled the Passover and Pentecost exactly as He ordained them, I have no doubt that He will do the same with Rosh Hosanna. This is the last Sunday of the Christian calendar and celebrates what will one day be the last day of the human race as we know it, when Christ ushers in the new heaven and the new earth which Christ shall rule and from which Satan and all who follow him will be forever banished.

(A) While the third and final holiday which God commanded the Jews to observe, Rosh Hosanna, occurs in 
September on our calendar, it is connected with the harvest season and our harvest season is later and occurs in
 November. As a result, it is better celebrated in connection with our harvest. Since the establishing of the 
Christian calendar, Christians have celebrated Christ the King Day, the celebration of the Second coming of 
Christ, on the last Sunday of the Christian calendar, the Sunday before Advent begins the new cycle. It usually
 occurs the Sunday before Thanksgiving, though it occasionally occurs the Sunday after. Christians no longer 
celebrate Christ the King Day and take little thought of Christ’s return. True believers will be caught up in the 
air with Christ on the first day, while non-believers will go through the tribulation where they will have a final 
chance to repent. Since we don’t know when Christ will come again, it is important for us to be ready. According 
to God’s Word, the final harvest will be complete at the end of the days of Tribulation, and God will close the 
books forever and we will celebrate the marriage Supper of the Lamb with God in heaven. (See “Before Your 
Eyes” for more on the holidays)
