I understand where you are coming from, John.  The patience of the saints has nearly been worn out, but scripture said it would be.  But, like Ivory soap, I am 99.99% sure that this Rosh Hashana is the time. Three possible days may be involved, Sept 9, 10, 11.  I think 11th is the best shot.

But I was musing about I Thessalonians 4:13-18 and am not sure what the wording means to those of us who have not fallen asleep at the time of the rapture.  To be specific, the passage says that "the dead in Christ will rise FIRST, then we who are alive AND REMAIN, will be caught up....."  I thought perhaps September 11, America's second and major destruction would occur on the 9th anniversary of the Twin Towers destruction.  But then I thought perhaps the dead in Christ will rise on that day and we living, will REMAIN for a period of time, changed into our new bodies, but staying here???  Maybe as long as 40 days, just as Jesus was with us after the resurrection of His body, for 40 days.

Yesterday I posted that this year, Rosh Hashana, Sept 9, 10, 11, falls on the same days of the week as the sleep in the tomb and the resurrection did in Jesus time.  I wonder if this picture will be repeated???

Others have written of the possibility of our remaining 40 days....maybe so?

What do you and the doves think now?
