Hi Jim,
I forwarded the article from Jim titled: When is Jesus coming?
I got a response from a friend who said the article is excllent, she just had this question:
 
Excellent! Concerning Matt.24---Why are we aked to pray that His coming will not be in Winter?
Or the Sabbath?

God bless,
Marianna.


Thanks.

It is thought that this is just practical advice given by Jesus: (1) not in winter to make travel easier, and (2) not on the Sabbath as Jews were not allowed to travel more than about 1/2 mile on the Sabbath, I suspect still true for the Orthodox Jews and will apply to the Tribulation.
