I really think Arlene has some great ideas, here!

And about the "being seen of them forty days" (Acts 1:3) verse, John 20:1,19,16 and John 21:1,14 seem to indicate that He was not seen of them for eight days between day one and the "after 8 days" day (which was the second time He showed Himself...  the sea of Tiberias being the third time).

So, if 8 days are blocked out at the beginning (when He was not seen of them), one does not arrive at day 40 for an ascension, but more likely, as Arlene suggests, on day 50 (Pentecost).

As others have pointed out, June 7 might be the 8th day of that (possible) week-long festival, and is also a full moon. (Proverbs 7:19-20; Psalm 81:3 some versions have "full moon" instead of "in the time appointed").

Also, Daniel's 2520 days (and other day-amounts) still seem to line up fairly well from that June 7 date. I'll have to check that again for sure.

Very interesting things! :)
