A pathway emerges pointing to the return of Christ in the year 2012, when we examine Amos 4:7 in view that this verse implies the return of the latter rain. We have learned earlier that God's withholding of the latter rain for the final harvest in the physical organized churches earmarks the start of the "Great" Final Tribulation Period in Adar 1994. Also, in Amos 4:7 we see God caused it to rain in a city (outside the physical organized church). The habitat of the believers then becomes the physical world, because the physical organized church has become spiritual (Egypt and Sodom), see Study on Good Figs. Spiritual Egypt as represented by the physical organized churches does not participate in the Feast of Ingathering. Thus, the physical organized church is the city that does not receive its latter rain.
Tammuz (figs have a crop) is the month that is 3 months from the harvest month Tishri (figs have a crop). Tishri 15 is the Feast of Ingathering (Tabernacle) which is the Final Feast associated with a Biblical Seasons of Harvest. After 2 years of no latter rain Adar 1994 to Adar 1996, the latter rains return in Adar 1997 outside of the physical organized churches, Hosea 6:2-3. The latter rain harvest comes 6 month latter, with the culmination of this harvest celebrated during the Feast of Ingathering, Luke 4:25 .
Hosea 6:2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
Hosea 6:3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
Luke 4:25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land
