Have you ever felt that spiritual whiplash?
You know the one. The cycle begins with a surge of excitement. A well-known teacher points to a celestial event—a Blood Moon, a planetary alignment—or a significant date on the Hebrew calendar. The evidence seems compelling. The pieces appear to fit. Your heart leaps with the thought, "This could be it. This could be the time."
You watch. You wait. You hope.
And then… it’s the day after. The world keeps spinning. The news is still grim. And a quiet crash of disappointment settles in.
If you’ve been there, you’re not alone. And what if I told you that feeling of letdown isn’t a failure of your faith, but a divine correction? What if it’s God’s gentle way of whispering, “Your hope is in the wrong place.”
The Calendar vs. The Call
In episode 21 of Lion Roars from Zion, “[The Unsignaled Bride: Why Your Hope is Not in a Calendar]([https://LionRoarsfromZion.podbean.com/e/e21-the-unsignaled-bride-why-your-hope-is-not-in-calendar/)”, we tackle this very experience head-on.
We live in an age obsessed with signs. We scour headlines and astronomical charts, trying to decode God’s timeline. But in doing so, we risk making the same mistake the religious leaders made 2,000 years ago: they were so focused on the signs of the Messiah’s coming (the what and the when) that they completely missed the Messiah Himself (the Who) when He was standing right in front of them.
Their hope was in their interpretation of prophecy, not in the Person of Promise.
A Thrilling Biblical Truth: The Imminent Return
This episode reveals a profound and thrilling biblical truth that will re-anchor your soul: The Rapture of the Church is, by its very nature, imminent.
This means it can happen at any moment. No specific moon phase is required. No feast day needs to be fulfilled first. It is a divine event that requires no preceding sign.
How can this be? The podcast dives deep into the crucial biblical distinction between:
God’s prophetic plan for Israel: which is beautifully outlined by the Feasts and does involve specific signs and events.
God’s mysterious promise to the Church: which Paul calls a “mystery” (1 Corinthians 15:51)—a previously hidden truth that is a sovereign act of grace for the Bride of Christ.
Understanding this distinction is the key to turning disappointment into daily, vibrant anticipation.
Your Hope is a Person, Not a Date
When we shift our trust from predicting events to trusting a Person, everything changes. Our blessed hope (Titus 2:13) is not a date we circle; it is a Savior we long for.
This truth is not meant to make us passive. It’s designed to make us passionate. If Jesus could return at any moment, it infuses our today with eternal purpose. It sanctifies the mundane. It fuels holy living, urgent love, and faithful mission.
Ready to Trade Your Disappointment for Dynamic Hope?
If you’ve ever felt the crash after a missed prophetic date, this episode is for you. It’s a loving, scripturally-rich call to exchange the anxiety of calendar-watching for the joyful expectancy of Bridegroom-watching.
We explore:
Why the recent Blood Moon isn't the sign for the Church.
The beautiful purpose of the Feasts and who they are for.
The powerful meaning of the word "Mystery" in the New Testament.
How to live every single day in the light of the "blessed hope."
This isn’t just a teaching; it’s a paradigm shift that will free you to live with a hope that cannot be disappointed.
