I agree with everything you said here. The 70th week is only 2,520 Days. The 2,520 days is the most popular choice. Actually its 1260 days --the midst of the week-- then 1260 days from that and add a 30 day extension. For more on the 2550 days see http://endtimepilgrim.org/chart2a.htm. There again If the antichrist is to make a peace contract for one seven as the scripture states then wouldnt one seven in modern times be ( 7 X 365 ) + 2 leap days = 2557 Days. Why would the Antichrist make a seven year peace deal for 2520 Days? It would be 2557 Days on our modern calendar. The midst would then be 1275 days not 1260 days. He could I suppose make a peace treaty 37 days shy of our current calendar. I thought of this before I even knew about the metonic cycle, 86 moons and even before I knew some people regarded Daniels 70th week as 2550 days. Endtimepilgrim acknowledges 1260 midpoint then 1260 later half. with a 30 day extension. Also I read where it says the midst according to the Greek is actually not right at the middle, but it could mean right around the middle. In other words midst isnt the same as middle. I take it as it means the middle.
The feast of Trumpets to Day of Atonement seven years later is either 2579 days long / 87 moons or 2548, 2549, 2,550, 2551, Days long with 86 moons. Why not a significant number like 2550 days ? 1260 Days + 1290 Days = 2550. This is going by the modern Jewish calendar.
THINK ABOUT THIS??? According to the theory --- We are Raptured on Rosh Hashanna and then Christ returns seven years later on Day of Atonement in a sense you are already in a way admitting that from Rapture to Atonement day seven years later is either 2579 days long or 2550 days not knowing a lick about the 86 moons/2550 days theory/metanic cycle because I dont think that there is a timespan of 2520 Days on the current Jewish Calendar from Rosh Hashana to Day of Atonement seven year later.
Does GOD use the current Jewish calendar or the older Biblical we dont know for sure. Ill accept both calendars because we just dont know with 100% certainty which calendars The Lord uses. Its said that Daniel went by a Lunar calendar and thats what the 86 moons calculation is.
So with that thought in mind, TJ, Daniel and John, could you do the same calculation from the Feast of First Fruits, where it is stated in Leviticus 23:5-6, where the LORD said unto Moses that "In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's Passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread."
MATCH with Leviticus 25 where it says
“And you shall count seven Sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and the time of the seven Sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years. Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land” (Leviticus 25:8-9).
The Jewish Calendar
The
Jewish calendar is based on both solar and lunar years. The average lunar year of about 354 days is adjusted to the solar year by the addition of a leap year and an intercalary month. Nisan is considered the first month, although the new year begins with
Rosh Hashanah, on
the first of Tishri, which is in fact the seventh month—the calendar has different starting points for different purposes. The year 2007 translates to the Jewish year 5767–5768. The year 2008 translates to the Jewish year 5768–5769.

How about the Shavuot/Jewish Pentecost 2008 for Rapture?
From and including: Monday, 9 June 2008 (Shavuot)
To, but not including : Tuesday, 30 September 2008 (Feast of the Trumpet)
It is 113 days from the start date to the end date, but not including the end date
Or 3 months, 21 days excluding the end date
I always went by the Pre Trib rapture you have the Rapture occuring three months before Feast of Trumpets???
