I don't see how the timeline to Armageddon can be legitimate because as I already stated in my 6/07 post at http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/june2006/donnad67-7.htm that "I don't see how the battle of Armageddon will begin on March 23, 2008 and end on August 20th 2008 since the 3 and 1/2 years of the Great Tribulation have not taken place yet." Also the abomination of desolation has not been set up (Matthew 24:15) which is the time the great tribulation begins (Matthew 24:21) yet nor has the woman (Israel) fled into the wilderness for 3 1/2 yrs. ( Rev. 12:6).  The Two Witnesses have not appeared yet to witness for 3 1/2 yrs. (Rev. 11:2) nor is the beast reigning over the world for 3 1/2 years yet (Rev. 13:5) nor has worship of the beast or the mark of the beast been implemented yet.  From 6/09/2006 through March 23, 2008 is only 1 year 9 months and about 2 weeks away, and none of the above has happened yet.  The battle of Armageddon is not mentioned until Rev. 16:16 which I thought happened at the tailend of the 3 1/2 yr. great tribulation period.
