Day of Atonement Delayed?

I have been looking for the return of Jesus for a while now. When the new moon was not sighted on the 13th of Sept, but on the 15th, that may have delayed the day of Atonement by 2 days. Today is the 25th and the pope still has to do his agenda in Philadelphia, and Central Park. We read Revelations 2 as a family this morning and saw that only the church in Philadelphia was the church without any faults out of the seven churches.What is striking to me is that the pope keeps asking for prayers from everyone he is in contact with.  You would think that it would be him offering prayers to others. I think he is aware that the enemy of our soul will soon be sifting him.  It is striking how things are mimicked in the natural world, that is written in the spiritual  Book.

Promise to the church (3:10-12)

Because the church in Philadelphia has kept faith with Jesus, he will keep them from “the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth” (3:10). This expression “hour of trial” refers in Revelation to the affliction on the world to come before God’s kingdom is established on the earth. This period of worldwide ordeal is a main theme of Revelation. The book informs the reader that “the hour of his judgment has come” (14:7). The death of the world system, dubbed “Babylon the Great,” which stands in opposition to God, is described in dramatic symbolic language in Revelation 15-19. The doom of this Babylon comes “in one hour” (18:10). “In one hour” the world’s Babylonish “great wealth” is “brought to ruin” (18:17, 19).
When the world’s anti-God system collapses, the church will face terrible persecution and martyrdom. That’s because it will be called on as a faithful witness to the rule and authority of God in a godless world. But because the names of the faithful witnesses are written in the book of life, they will be delivered and saved for eternal life.
While the church will suffer persecution, it will not be destroyed. That’s because the hour of trial comes “upon the whole world” to try “those who live on the earth” (3:10). This does not include the church. In Revelation, the phrase “whole world” or “those who live on the earth” is always used for the godless world or enemies of the church (6:10; 8:13; 11:10; 13:8, 14; 17:8).

In any case this day isn't over yet, and I am looking forward to   God's perfect timing to rapture His church.
What did not make it to the news as I noted in an earlier blog is the double lunar eclipse on the Feast of Trumpets, likely representing Christ coming to the Jews as well as the Gentiles. This event has never been seen or heard of until the 13th of this September. The next item that went unnoticed is the invasion by Russia, Hezbollah, and Assad, in fighting ISIS. This could well be the beginning of the Gog and Magog war written about in the bible. Please stay alert. Today is also the final day of caution by the French Prime Minister regarding climate chaos. Today could be the day that Deborah's grave opens, hallelujah, \Maranata, come Lord Jesus.
