The Feast of Trumpets has historically been a high watch time for the rapture by many bible prophecy scholars. The following explains the Feast of Trumpets and how end times bible prophecies being fulfilled appear to be pointing to this timeframe unlike any other time in history.
Biblical events throughout history have taken place on what are called the Jewish feasts/holidays, like Passover, which is better known to many as Easter. There are 7 of these feasts and it is believed the first 4 have been fulfilled with Jesus' first coming in the spring. The following 3 in the fall are believed to be related to Jesus' second coming. The next unfulfilled feast is the Feast of Trumpets. This year it falls on October 2-4.
"The Feast of Trumpets happens on the "new moon", which is 29.5 days after the last one, meaning it might occur on the 29th or 30th day, nobody knows for sure. "Of that day or hour no man knows" is an expression referring to this feast, and thus, the rapture." Read more... http://www.ltradio.org/articles/?admin=linkto&link=109&&quick=y
"The Last Trumpet – On this day, there are 100 trumpet blasts. The final, long, and most significant trumpet blast is called ‘the last trump’." “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” 1 Corinthians 15:51-52" Read more... https://raptureandendtimes.com/2023/01/10/the-feast-of-trumpets/
The number 7 is found on many works of God throughout scripture, Old and New Testament. https://www.gotquestions.org/number-7-seven.html
A pattern of 7's appear to be playing out at the end of the age in like manner as recorded in Genesis 41:1-32. (The 7 years of plenty and the 7 years of famine).
"What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun." Ecclesiastes 1:9
Genesis 41:28-32. Joseph interprets Pharaoh's dreams:
"28 It is as I told Pharaoh; God has shown to Pharaoh what he is about to do. 29 There will come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt, 30 but after them there will arise seven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land, 31 and the plenty will be unknown in the land by reason of the famine that will follow, for it will be very severe. 32 And the doubling of Pharaoh's dream means that the thing is fixed by God, and God will shortly bring it about."

7 years ago, on the Feast of Trumpets, there was an astronomical alignment called the Revelation 12 Sign. This alignment matches the reading on Revelation 12:1-2, word-for-word, the last book of the Bible foretelling the end times.
"And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered." Revelation 12:1-2.

Revelation 12:3-5 continues with the birthing of child:
"3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. 5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne."
Israel is understood by many scholars to be the woman about to give birth, and the dragon is the unbelieving world that is foretold to gather together against the Jews/Israel, and try to “devour" her child(believers in Jesus Christ) before they are "caught up (raptured) unto God." Israel at large does not believe in Jesus as their messiah, but that is foretold to change as part of God's redemptive plan, but only a remnant(1/3) of Israel will be saved.

Although we have experienced growing troubles over the last 7 years, it appears they may have been the 7 years of plenty pattern that started with the Revelation 12 Sign on the Feast of Trumpets of 2017. Whether or not the Rapture falls on the Feast of Trumpets, the following is soon on the horizon.
"The tribulation is a future (7)seven-year period when God will finish His discipline of Israel and finalize His judgment of the unbelieving world. The church, comprised of all who have trusted in the person and work of the Lord Jesus, will not be present during the tribulation (Got Questions Ministries takes a pretribulational approach to eschatology). The church will be removed from the earth in an event called the rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:13–18; 1 Corinthians 15:51–53). In this way, the church is saved from the wrath to come (1 Thessalonians 5:9)." Read more... https://www.gotquestions.org/tribulation.html
