Consider that July 7, 2007 has made the news as already a popular choice for wedding days.  Why not ours?

 

It was reported that having a wedding of 7/7/7 would make it easier for husbands to remember their anniversary.  Of course, 777 is very significant to us number watchers.  But also consider how prominently the number 3.5 and 3.5 days plays forth in the book of Revelation, such as the 3.5 days that the two witnesses lay dead upon the earth, (after witnessing 3.5 prophetic years.)

 

And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.  Revelation 11:11

 

And, of course, these 3.5 days the two witnesses lay dead, parallels the 3.5 days that Jesus Christ lay dead after he was crucified.  (Although I don't know if I realized this till now.)  He was in the grave 3 days and 3 nights as recorded by scripture, but he was dead 3 hours before sunset and wasn't taken off the cross till right before sunset.  I've written on 5 Doves before about how if he was buried right before midnight and then rose right after midnight (the middle of the night as they measured mid-night) 3 days later, it could have been exactly 3 days and 3 nights as we now tell time, to fulfill scripture down to the milli-second.

 

If midnight is true then his body would have laid dead, 3.625 days.  Either this is close enough to what is meant to the 3 1/2 days in scripture or He actually rose  3 hours earlier at the 3rd hour of the night or more appropriately at the beginning of the 2nd watch, (Sunday for the Jew, Saturday for the Romans).  And it may have only taken 3 hours to properly apply 100 pounds of aloe sap and spice and multiple spiral bandages to His body and transport and lay His body in the tomb.

 

And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.  Acts 12:4

 

But consider that we know the dead in Christ shall rise first.  Again in parallel, the dead physically rose from the grave when Christ died.  And many believe they visited many while Jesus was in the ground, three days and three nights, and then rose up with Him to Heaven when He ascended to the Father, after speaking to Mary:

 

Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.  John 20:17

 

Will the rest of the dead in Christ again rise from the grave and ascend, 3.5 days before we who are left, join them, possibly on July 7, 2007, for possibly the wedding of the Bride of Christ in Heaven?  Speculation, yes.  And the marriage supper can be a later event after the tribulation and still we could have 3.5 days separating the rising of the dead from the living. 

 

And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.  Revelation 19:9
