Introduction

Welcome to my website, which can be found at both these sites:

• www.therapturein2025.co.uk
• www.therapturein2025.com

It is here that I will examine what the Bible teaches about the “Rapture” of “Born-Again Christians;” the 7 years of “Tribulation” that follows the Rapture; and the “Second Coming” of Jesus Christ that follows the Tribulation. If you would like to read about it, it is set out in what is the main “Article” of this website, entitled: “The Rapture In 2025: Does The Bible Teach It?” View Here. Also, to go with this text is a separate “Timeline Chart.” View Here

Now, I should point out that I first posted this website on the internet at the beginning of September 2025. For, it was then that one of the most favoured times for the “Rapture” of “Believers” – put forward by many Bible scholars and prophecy watchers – was the fast-approaching “Jewish” “Feast of Trumpets” on 23rd/24th September. However, we were soon to find out that our timing was wrong of course, because the Rapture didn’t happen on that day, as we had hoped.

So, what did I then do? It was to reconsider an issue I had been aware of for some time. And that was the whole question of whether the “Barley Harvest” in Israel back in the Spring of 2025 – more specifically on the 30th March – had been “Aviv.” That is with full green ears of ripening corn. For I was fully aware that it might have affected the whole timing issue of when the “Feast of Trumpets” might actually occur; and therefore, by inference, when the Rapture – if it were to happen during that Feast – might also take place.

And so, I did my research and behold, I discovered that there did indeed exist reports which said that around our date of 30th March of this year (2025), the barley harvest in Israel was NOT actually “Aviv.” And that that was due in large part to the lack of rain during what had been an unusually dry winter in Israel.

So, why is the concept of “Aviv barley” important? Is it mentioned in the Bible? And should it affect the Jewish calendar, and thereby the timing of the months and the Jewish Feasts throughout the year? Well, as to the answers to those questions, I look at this whole issue in some detail in my article: “The Rapture in 2025: Does the Bible Teach It?” Hence, I will not repeat everything I say in it, right here. But what I will mention is that because the Jewish year is “lunisolar,” it is shorter than our “Gregorian-calendar-365.25-day-long solar year.” Thus, over time – and let me mention the “Feast of Passover” as an example – if there are no adjustments to the Jewish calendar, then all the Feasts, including “Passover” in the Spring, will land on increasingly earlier and earlier dates in the year. Thus, to bring back the Jewish Calendar so that it is in-synch with the “solar calendar,” and thereby also Nature’s Seasons, there must, at times, be added an extra month in that Jewish Calendar. Hence, there arises the whole concept of “Aviv” or not “Aviv” barley in the Spring, when the Jewish priests need an “Aviv” barley sheaf in order to carry out their “Wave Offerings.” Thus, traditionally, the “Jewish” Feasts in the Spring are kept in-synch with Nature and the solar calendar by periodically adding a “leap month” to the Jewish calendar. Thus, traditionally, for the Jews, the deciding marker has depended on Nature, (which is of course under God’s total control) and thereby as a consequence, the state of the barley harvest in the Spring. Thus, if it is not “Aviv” or “ripe” enough at a particular time on the Jewish calendar in the Spring, then an extra month is added to that calendar. This then results in ALL the Jewish Feasts of the ensuing year being advanced by one month.

Thus, starting with the first month of “Nisan,” back in the Spring – that is on the Jewish Religious calendar – because the barley was not “Aviv” this year in 2025, an extra month should have been added to the Jewish Calendar. Thus, all the Jewish Feasts of the past 8 months should have been advanced also by one month, starting in the Spring of 2025. Thus, we would now have had the dates for the “Feast of Trumpets” in 2025 as being on the 23rd/24th of October (2025), not the 23rd/24th of September.

And so, at the beginning of October 2025, I updated this website with the revised suggestion that the “Rapture” might still happen on the “Feast of Trumpets” but it was to be around the 23/24th of October and not September, as I just said.

Well, we all know what happened, or rather what didn’t happen: the Rapture didn’t occur in October. However, it has led me to have a complete rethink about this whole issue, for it may be that if we try and establish when the “Tribulation” might start – that is when God will pour out His wrath on a Christ-rejecting World for 7 years – it might also give us a window for a “Pre-Trib” Rapture.

So, instead of us first asking if there are any more possible Rapture dates in the near future, let us instead consider when there might be an appropriate time for the “Tribulation” to begin. For it is here that we now have a very, very strong contender in the Anniversary of the start of “Noah’s Flood.” For in Genesis 7:11 it gives us the very day that the rains began, namely: the 17th Day of the Second Jewish month, which is “Cheshvan” and which follows the 1st month of the Jewish Civil calendar, “Tishrei.”

Now, please take care not to confuse “Tishrei” in the “Fall” (and which is the first month of the Jewish “Civil” calendar, as I say), with “Nisan,” which is the first month in the Jewish “Religious” calendar which starts in the Spring around April.

And so, we may just have an appropriate date for the “Tribulation” to begin, namely: the 17th day of the month of “Cheshvan,” the day when the Great Flood began. But wait! In addition, Genesis 7 tells us that that day was also when Noah and his family entered the “Ark.” For it was the “Ark” that was God’s way of providing Noah with a way to escape the coming judgment on the World. Thus, I would like to suggest we now have a reason to believe that the Rapture – which is God’s way for present-day “believers” to escape His judgment in the coming “Tribulation” – may also coincide with the anniversary of Noah’s Flood; the date being, as I said, the 17th day of “Cheshvan.”

But wait! We have a problem! Because “Cheshvan” is now past, as I write this at the end of November 2025, along with Noah’s “Flood Anniversary.” However, that is not quite all, for do you remember we said that an extra month should have been added to the Jewish Calendar in the Spring of 2025. Well, if we now rectify that, then what happens is that every subsequent month is now advanced by 30 days. Thus, every “Feast,” as we saw earlier, PLUS ALSO EVERY IMPORTANT DATE, now takes place a month later than normal. And so, the month of “Cheshvan,” along with the Anniversary of the start of “Noah’s Flood” on the 17th Day of “Cheshvan” also now takes place 30 days later than “normal.” Hence, instead of Noah’s Anniversary on Cheshvan 17 being around the 7th/8th November, (which is past), it should now fall on the 6th/7th December, which is still future, as I write this.

Now, I go into more detail in my “Article” so I won’t say any more about it here. That is other than to encourage believers that we still have, in my view, a strong Biblical case for the Rapture happening in 2025.

Now, there is also on this website, a long, written, “Gospel Message” by me. View Here. Plus, in addition, there are also “18 Audio Gospel Messages” on the “Sermon Audio” website preached by “Free Presbyterian” Minister, “John Gray.” Click Here

Finally, I end with the moving Testimony on YouTube of the “Rev Ron Reagan” (no relation of the President) who had a “Vision of Hell,” which then led to his “Conversion.” Click Here

1. About Us

Hi, my name is “Rupert Raynar,” and I became a “believer” and “follower” of Jesus Christ after a dramatic “evangelical” conversion experience in the Summer of 1996. Please Click Here to discover more about how I was saved.

2. Aim of Website

So, what is the “Aim” and “Purpose” of this website? In order to find out more behind the reason for it, please Click Here. As for the answer to that question, it is basically twofold:

First, to look at “Scripture,” to discern on what year Jesus was crucified. For then, we may be able to infer a likely year for both Christ’s “Second Coming,” plus the year for the start of the 7-year-long Tribulation period, 7 years earlier. If we can do that, then we may also be able to come up with a time window for the Rapture as well.

Second, I wanted to take the opportunity offered by the presence of the website, to share the “Gospel” of how a person can be “saved”. For the “Bible” teaches that it is only “saved,” “Born-Again Christians,” who will be the ones actually going to “Heaven” in the Rapture.

Please Click Here to access this website’s Main Article, (Title above).

So does my “Article” contain anything new you may ask? Well, I believe it does, several things, and they all come from what has been a close look at the Bible, because it is that “Book” only, that speaks with Authority regarding future “End-Times” events. For I believe Scripture really does contain clues as to the timing of the “Tribulation,” and from there a possible window for the Rapture. And so, if you would like to know more, then please, by all means, look at the said Article, as it may be of interest.

7. Vision of Hell: The Testimony of Rev. Ron Reagan

(No Relation of the “President”).
Please Click Here to access a written Summary, plus a “YouTube” Video, about the “Rev. Ron Reagan,” and his “Vision.” It concerns the “Near-Death Experience” he had in 1972 while on the way to hospital in the back of an ambulance. He wasn’t a “Born-Again Christian” at the time, but shortly after that – that is after the “Lord” took him to “Hell” and back – he was soundly, and movingly, “converted.”

You can discover all of Ron’s Story on the YouTube Channel, “Living For Christ.” The Title of the Video is: “Ronald Reagan Saw People He Knew In Hell And This Is What They Told Him.” It is 16 minutes and 38 seconds long. Watch Here.

8. Antichrist Origins

Please Click Here to access information about the coming “Antichrist” and what may be a connection to the “Comet” “3I/ATLAS” which entered our Solar System on the 1st July this year (2025). Now please bear with me for there are many scientists who are saying, nearly 5 months later, that the “Comet” bears the characteristics of a highly, technologically advanced “Probe” of “Alien Origin.” Hence, I would like to suggest that the Antichrist is also of “Alien Origin” and may be, just maybe – as I write this at the end of November – coming to Earth on that very same “Alien Craft.”

To find out more please click Watch Here to access what is a fascinating YouTube video. See details below:

Now, I also look at, in “The Antichrist section” of the website, the whole issue of the “Mark of the Beast” which the “Book of Revelation” warns will be a requirement of the “Antichrist” in order to buy and sell. For it’s important that we consider this because it is a “Salvation issue.” For, put simply: if you take the “Mark” then you can never be “saved.”
