Dear Doves,

 

How about this possible sequence of end-time events:

 

The rapture of the 'Philadelphia Christians', which is the FIRST RAPTURE, happens in "the twinkling of an eye" at the stroke-of-midnight on September 29/30, 2008 which is Rosh Hashanah/Feast of Trumpets and the New Year change 5768/5769. The New Year 5769 is NOT a Sabbatical Year therefore the ban on 'harvesting' is lifted at the stroke-of-midnight. This event would also allow the seven-year tribulation, which is the 'Seventieth Week of Daniel', to begin and end on Rosh Hashanah/Feast of Trumpets 5775/5776, which begins the next 'Jubilee Year' in September 2015 when Jesus returns to Earth the second time.

 

The SECOND RAPTURE, which is the rapture of the 'Laodiceian Christians', happens on Pentecost 2012 near mid-tribulation "after you have suffered a little while" during "the hour of trial ---- to test those who live on the earth" (Rev 3:10) in the first-half of the seven-year tribulation which is when they (Laodiceian Christians) "buy from Me gold refined in the fire so you can become rich." (Rev 3:18)

 

Come Lord Jesus!
