great posting Jim, you summed it all up and yes everything sure does point to this year 2006 being the year for both our rapture flight and God's Tribulation Judgements to begin
 
i believe that the Fall Hebrew Feasts , beginning with Rosh HaShana in September 23rd will kick-off the 2nd Coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
 
of course His 2nd coming is in two parts, first part is His return for us believers  in the rapture and the beginning of the Tribulation Judfgements which should start around the Feast of Trumpets
 
part two of the 2nd Coming will happen in another year on Yom Kippur when Jesus returns with every eye seeing Him , and the Hebrews believing that Jesus is their Messiah. If 2006 is the year, and it sure is looking like it is, and the Fall Feasts represent His 2nd Coming then we have less than 3 months to go to hear that Heavenly Trumpet calling us up into Heaven !!!
