Yes, I remember that butterfly in 98!  Looking back, I wonder if 98 was a ten-year-count-down, since there are so many things going on in 2008?  I am reminded of the apostles being told by Jesus that they would have tribulation TEN days. Some instances by prophecy teachers that this ten day could refer to a ten year period and early Christians thought it represented the ten persecutions of the caesars of Rome. Then there is the young boy who had the vision of there being 10.5 (or maybe it was 10.3, I don't recall) years left AFTER the rapture and before Jesus returns. We really do not know if there is a period of time between the rapture and the START of the tribulation- there could be a large gap of time between the two. Back to the butterfly --- there are complete books out on the wings of the butterfly - how the entire English alphabet and the numbers 0-10 have been found on butterfly wings (and probably OTHER languages are there too and will be or maybe have already been found!)

 

Here is something some of the prophecy buffs out there might consider. I believe it has been expounded on this site before. Some major prophecy teachers are saying that there will not actually be a "new" 7 year peace treaty - that what the antichrist does is NOT generate a "new" treaty - he just "confirms" the old one which is the Oslo Accords.

I find the 10.5 years intriguing. If you count 888 (JESUS) chapters from the end of the Bible, you end up precisely 10.5 books into the Bible starting from Genesis!
