Ola, 

You wrote..."I believe it took 7 days for the Word's the Lord spoke to Noah on the 11th of Cheshvan, to reach him on 17th of Cheshvan!

It's the only logical reason why Noah and his household didn't get into the ark on the 11th of Cheshvan!

Could this be the reason why the rapture didn't occur on Christmas Day, which fell on the 11th of Tevet?

Could it be, the Lord, in a loud voice from heaven, called up His Bride with the Words "Come up here" on Christmas Day, the 11th of Tevet?

And that these Words will not reach us until the 17th of Tevet, which falls on 30th/31st of December 2012!!!

So anyway I thought I'd look up the dates of Hanukkah in 33 A.D. and they didn't seem to square up.  So out of curiosity, I looked at 34 A.D.  In 34 A.D. Hanukkah was a bit later than usual.  It ran from December 25th to January 1st.  From the many very inciteful studies about the rapture/Hanukkah connection recently posted it seemed significant. I don't know if our Lord was was crucified in 34 A.D.   I'm certainly not going to try and build a case for it.  Most Bible scholars point to 33 A.D. and I can't refute their opinions.  I'm just throwing it out there.

 

(By the way, my source for the calendar dates for Hanukkah in those early years was Hebrew Calendar - Cgsf.org.)
