October 15, 2005 can be expressed stair-step wise as the 15th day of the 10th month of the 5th year, (since the 2nd millenium after Christ, AD). Rearranging for sorting dates by size, i.e. year-month-day we have 5-10-15 which is a progression of 5's. This number, when removing the dashes is also a symmetrical number, (51015 is the same forward as backward).But the real symmetry may be that it could be the culmination of birth pains, each birth pain coming in half the time of the previous:
Hurricane Katrina hit 8/29/05 CST
26 days later - Hurricane Rita hit 9/24/05 CST
13 days later - Earthquake Pakistan hit 10/7/05 CSTTo try to be more exact, although these times may be off as to whether to measure from when the center of the eye hits landfall or the edge of the eye, etc:
Central Standard Times
8/29/05 6:10 AM Hurricane Katrina
9/24/05 3:40 AM Hurricane Rita - 25.90 days difference
10/7/05 10:50 PM Earthquake Pakistan - 13.80 days difference
10/14/05 10:14 AM 6.475 days which is 25.9/4
10/14/05 8:26 PM 6.9 days which is 13.8 / 4Either way this is around sundown in Jerusalem starting the day of 10/15/05 in Jerusalem, to around 4 AM on 10/15/05 in Jerusalem.
There is also symmetry with Yom Kippur in 2015 which will be on 9/23/2015. Hurricane Rita hit 9/24/05 which would start 10 calendar years to Yom Kippur in 2015. While 10/15/05 would start 10 Hebrew years to Yom Kippur in 2015.
There are also those that may take Earthquake Pakistan as a 7 day warning, as in the days of Noah, which also brings one to 10/15/05, Jerusalem Time.

After sending "Symmetry of October 15, 2005", and upon further reflection, I realized that from October 5, 2005 to October 15, 2005 could be considered a possible further fulfillment of the verse in Revelation dealing with 10 days of tribulation.
In the economy of scripture it is often true that God has multiple correct fulfillments of Sacred Scripture as it applies to each of us in every generation. This could be one of them.
As previously documented, October 5, 2005 was the first day that the New Moon signaling the New Year in Israel was supposed to be visible based on astronomical calculations. And recently this was also confirmed by observation in Israel.
While many expected a possible return for His Bride on this day and are troubled that this may point to next year, this troubling of the spirit could be the tribulation spoken of in Sacred Scripture. And while many may point that for this to be true the feasts will not have been fulfilled in oder, remember that Jesus began his ministry by partially fulfilling a Fall feast, not a Spring feast, as He closed the book half way through reading Isaiah 61:2.
"To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;" Isaiah 61:2
And the day of vengeance, the day of judgment, the 8th day of the Lord, we know will be the final fulfillment of Rosh Hashana, also known as Judgment Day.
