To Arlene:

I really enjoyed your Feb. 2 post regarding the healing of the woman with the issue of blood and the raising of the twelve year old girl taking place on the same day.

On January 24, 2005, I posted a brief article showing how the number 38 leads to the same conclusion. It appears that there is a strong possiblity that the church will be resurrected and the healing of Israel will commence on the same day. As soon as the Church exits, the Lord will BEGIN to cleanse, purify, and restore Israel. This process runs through the 7 year Tribulation period.

The portion of Scripture that best supports the same day Church resurrection/healing of Israel is 2nd Thess. 2:7-8.
         vs. 7 He who now restrains (the Holy Spirit indwelt
         Church) will do so until He is taken out of the way
         (Rapture).
         vs. 8 And then the lawless one (Antichrist) will be
         revealed.
The word "then" in verse 8 can be translated "at the same time." What these verses seem to be saying is that at the moment the Church is raptured, the Antichrist is revealed and the seven year Tribulation period begins. God's program for healing and restoring Israel also begins with the start of the Tribulation period.

If you wish to reference my previous posting on the number 38, it is listed with the January 24, 2005 postings and is entitled "Reply to CAPS 1-22-05 posting."
