It's already September 30, 2025. Are you saying the rapture already happened?
No. It's a technical problem with the calendar. It's a long story. I had a friend who was Greek Orthodox. He observed Christmas and Easter 13 days late on the Julian Calendar, the Calendar Jesus last used when His feet walked on the earth.
The Orthodox Church rejected the Gregorian calendar in the 16th century because it was introduced alongside theological changes, such as the filioque and purgatory, which were unacceptable to the Orthodox. This led to a lasting division, with most Orthodox churches continuing to use the Julian calendar for liturgical purposes. The difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendars is currently 13 days, meaning Orthodox Christmas is celebrated on January 7 instead of December 25. However, the date of Pascha (Easter) is calculated using the same traditional Alexandrian Paschalia, which is based on the Julian calendar, ensuring all Orthodox churches celebrate Easter on the same day.
The main reason for the continued use is the belief that changing the calendar without an ecumenical council would be a violation of Church tradition and could lead to schism.
We are in a timeline based in the Julian Calendar. It's a thing Isaac Newton wrote about, which is based in 1535 when time was still measured in the Julian Calendar. It's a count of sevens, heptads, reaching where we are now. In 1582, Pope Gregory changed the calendar.
In the Gospels Jesus is quoted as saying:
"Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
The Caesar who's image was on the penny at that time was Julius. One of the other things besides the penny that belonged to Julius Caesar was the method of measurement of the days Jesus was speaking in. They were in the times of the Julian Calendar.
"And another shall rise after them;
He shall be different from the first ones,
And shall subdue three kings.
He shall speak pompous words against the Most High,
Shall persecute the saints of the Most High,
And shall intend to change times and law.
Then the saints shall be given into his hand
For a time and times and half a time.
And shall think to change times and laws.
Pope Gregory changed the calendar in 1582
The Gregorian calendar is the calendar used in most parts of the world.[1][a] It went into effect in October 1582 following the papal bull Inter gravissimas issued by Pope Gregory XIII, which introduced it as a modification of, and replacement for, the Julian calendar.
The tradition of celebrating New Year's Day on April 1 is linked to the Julian calendar, which was used in Europe before the adoption of the Gregorian calendar. In the Julian calendar, the start of the new year was observed around April 1, closely following the vernal equinox. This practice changed in 1582 when Pope Gregory XIII introduced the Gregorian calendar, shifting the beginning of the year to January 1.
"Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's
If the Reformers, some Historicists, the SDA's, and myself are correct that the 1260 years of Daniel 7 taking place in the middle ages, and that the office of the Vatican was the little kingdom who sought to change times, the calendar and the law, then I would suspect there would be no possibility Jesus would be observing a calendar changed by this little horn.
When Pope Gregory changed the calendar in 1582, he was burning Christians alive for not adhering to his doctrines. I can't imagine Jesus using the calendar which was changed by him. Jesus would most certainly be using the Julian Calendar, the one used by some Orthodox Churches, and the one He was most recently using when His feet last walked the earth. In "like manner" He will return.
