Hello, John and Doves,Marilyn Agee makes some interesting remarks.I quote, in part, from her 7 April 2012 post:"Many of the saints came out of their graves on Resurrection Day and went into Jerusalem on Earth to portray the dead in Christ getting their resurrection bodies, probably on April 8, 2012, and being taken to New Jerusalem in Heaven.Likewise, I think Christ ascended on Ascension Day in 30 AD, because we, the Body of Christ, will ascend in the Rapture on Ascension Day, May 17, 2012. I also think that counting the Omer (1/10th of an ephah) for 40 days tells us that the barley is being measured. We are the barley, and each omer full of barley portrays many saints being chosen as wise virgins that day. I think that is why there is a 40-day span of time between the Resurrection and the Rapture. That seems to be a perfect time for picking who is a wise virgin."Baruch HaShem Adonai Roi,Mike C.
