Amen to your post Clay.  I have been waiting for October 17th 2004 for a long long time, since the very time you posted on this several years ago. I believe you present some very very valid biblical facts, and this very well could be the day of our redemption.  If this day however comes and goes, I have a feeling that we will be here for a good number of more years.  But this is the most valid date I have seen since Rosh Hashanah 2000.
