Hi John & Doves:

Is not the year 2012 in continuance until Pesach; 7/8 April
2013 according to the Hebrew calendar?

It may be that Rev 12 being analogous to the year where
the man-child is caught up (us).
If that is the case then Rev 13 describing the beast and
the Mark may be implemented in 2013; perhaps Pesach onwards?

What think you?

By way of encouragement rev 12:17 the commentary regarding
the persecuted saints that have the testimony of Jesus are
comprised of three types: 1) Have not the Spirit of God
2) Have the Spirit but are not clean (ready) when the Rapture
takes place 3) Believe after the Rapture has occured

Maranatha
