In this Q&A, Pastor Mike responds to renewed claims that the rapture will occur during the Feast of Trumpets and addresses arguments about Jewish idioms, biblical timelines, and modern date-setting. He explains the biblical doctrine of imminence, why Jesus consistently redirected believers away from timing speculation, and how history shows that rapture date predictions always end poorly. While acknowledging the rich symbolism of biblical feasts, Sabbaths, and typology, Pastor Mike emphasizes living faithfully every day—watchful, productive, and focused on the gospel—rather than trying to uncover what Scripture says is “not for you to know.”
