The Bible goes into fairly good detail about the requirements for celebrating Passover when someone is in "a far country". Since we cannot go where Jesus is, and since we are outside of Israel, wouldn't that apply to us? Also noticed on this year's calendar (timeanddate.com) how Easter is listed on March 27th while Passover is listed on the calendar as April 24th-30th? I'm kind of confused why, I thought they were the same--could someone please tell me why it's like that? And could 30 days later from April 30th mean May 30th?
 
As far as Jim Bramlett's comment about 1998-2005 being a potential first 7 prosperous years, I think that makes sense, especially since 1998 was the 50 year jubilee for Israel and slaves are set free every seventh year. It seems that our ascension would make perfect sense to be in a jubilee year. Also, Rosh HaShanah this year is October 3rd-4th this year which is 14000 days exactly from June 7th, 1967 when Jerusalem was recaptured. There is also an annular solar eclipse on October 3rd this year (Israel is 8 hours ahead of us), as well as a partial lunar eclipse during Tabernacles--signs in the heavens which could be "shadows of things to come"?
 
September 11th, 2001 seems to have been a major event or marker. Counting off 3 1/2 years from then brings us to this Spring or 4 years to October 3rd-4th. There are numerous references to 1260 days in Revelation or time, times, and a half. Things seem to be changing rapidly also--still watching,
