"Cindy Busch: Pentecost - August 1, 2008"


I read the article that Cindy Busch submitted yesterday. Seems to be a good possibility. I would like to encourage others (who are smarter than I am) to read this article and see if it looks plausible (accurate biblically.) It does seem so to me.
It seems interesting that if August 1 (or thereabouts) would indeed be the true date for Pentecost, that the "9th of Av" speculation for the timing of the Gog-Magog War would be right around that time, as well (possibly even beginning on the 1st of Av, and lasting 10 days?), thus making the "7 months to the burial" land on Purim (the burial place being known as "Hamon-Gog." Ezekiel 38-39)
Many scholars note that the Gog-Magog War might occur simultaneously with the rapture (or be very close.) This Pentecost date would bring the two dates very close to one another. Interesting...
