Hi John and Doves,
        Thank you so very much for your amazing web site.It is one of my favorites. I think the John Nelson posting is interesting to see 10-31 to 11-8 as a process rather than two isolated dates. When one does research on the pagan practices of Halloween, like those of the Druids. there is much attention paid and homage given to a Lord of Death. It would be fascinating if the Messiah raises the dead and spiritually checkmates and nullifies any power associated with such a dread lord of death! Then there could be an extended seven day period of mercy for the living before their rapture ahd departing. Abba Father and Messiah may be keenly aware of who is preparing to be the departing bride and who is preparing to be the unrepenting pagans.
        Does anyone know when the transit of Mercury will occur during the time frame of the time in Israel? Would it occur near midnight?
