If we pass Rosh Hashanah 2007, then much is lost concerning the 10 year theory, if 2010-2017 is the 70th week. I still believe the Rapture must be on Rosh Hashanah according to I Cor 15 to explain The Last Trump. I wavered on this in pursuit of numbers post RH 2006. I will stick to RH as in the book. However, Av 9 could prove interesting since I believe things should line up for the war, if it is indeed RH 2007 that kicks off the invasion from the north (the righteous departing per Isaiah 57:1 and Micah 7:2 where the righteous depart with those waiting for blood ready to act). I would venture to say that the war may not even begin prior to RH, but that the preparations will be as obvious as the press reveals them. There may even be skirmishes prior to RH like last year's Lebanon War, but the  "Big One" would occur immediately post RH. So we must look to Israel and the nations this summer or any summer to see if it will indeed come in that year.  If it comes this year, then the 2010-2017 analysis is likely on track, but it is still a hypothesis. If we do pass RH then it will be time to see what may still be applicable/workable in the hypothesis. The way things are developing, it seems probable. We know Iran cannot nuke Israel, so the time frame is short. At best there are only a few years left. We also know that the US cannot hinder Iran and Russia, but those plans of US action look very doubtful even though the US is right off the coast. And as we learned on July 3rd, Israel and the US have no cohesive plan to deal with anything concerning Israel. Bottom line, nothing can stop the setup for Ezekiel 38-39 or alter its course, which seems obviously in motion.  Surely this year is the closest we have seen to the scenario coming to the present. Last summer and the line up of significant dates was the warning. We shall see.
