Shalom Eric and All:

I figured ...
Jacob's Trouble:
Year 1 - start fall 2000 middle spring and end fall 2001
Year 2 - start fall 2001 middle spring and end fall 2002
Year 3 - start fall 2002 middle spring and end fall 2003
Year 4 - start fall 2003 middle spring and end fall 2004
Year 5 - start fall 2004 middle spring and end fall 2005
Year 6 - start fall 2005 middle spring and end fall 2006
Year 7 - start fall 2006 middle spring and end fall 2007 = OOPS!
Eric, you're right!  It would be 2007 not 2008.

and if the beast arrives during this schedule:
Year x - start fall 2000 middle spring and end fall 2001
Year x - start fall 2001 middle spring and end fall 2002
Year x - start fall 2002 middle spring and end fall 2003
Year 1/2 - fall 2003 BEGINS middle spring and end fall 2004
Year 1 - start fall 2004 middle spring and end fall 2005
Year 2 - start fall 2005 middle spring and end fall 2006
Year 3 - start fall 2006 middle spring and end fall 2007
The beast would have had to be ruling spring of 2004 already.  And before that
would be the world-wide earthquake of Seal 6, which we haven't had yet.

Thanks for GENTLY bringing me "back-to-the-drawing-board" with timing of
Jacob's Trouble!  It didn't start fall 2000.

I do know in Revelation that when Seal 7 is opened:
(1) - there is silence in Heaven for "about-a-half hour" (translation in earth
time?) and that happens BEFORE the ...
(2) - Woe 1 of 5 months, Woe 2 of 42 months, and Woe 3 of 42 months are
mentioned, the events of the Woes overlapping.

Seems I'm not wise enough to idenfy the timing of Jacob's Trouble  :-(  but
... if the beast does begin control:
Year 1/2 - fall 2004 BEGINS middle spring and end fall 2005
Year 1 - start fall 2005 middle spring and end fall 2006
Year 2 - start fall 2006 middle spring and end fall 2007
Year 3 - start fall 2007 middle spring and end fall 2008
From this fall 2004 to spring 2005 would give time for the "silence" in
Heaven.

And from what I see in world events right now ... I pray The Bridal Call comes
soon!

Again ... thank you Eric.  Time is a self-correcting teacher.
