Dear John & Doves,
If I remember correctly Brother Sal used the traditional Catholic/Protestant calendar for his high watch days. Basically, the Resurrection of the dead in Christ occurred on "Easter" with the Rapture of both the Resurrected & Living Saints occurring on "Ascension Thursday". If nothing happened, then the watch would continue until "Pentecost". He was not sure when the transformation of the living saints would occur. I thought it would have occurred at the time of the Ascension since more people could get saved during that 40-day period.
According to the Catholic/Protestant calendar for the year 2025, Easter is April 20, Ascension Thursday is May 29 and Pentecost is June 8.
On Fivedoves, however, the doves were always savvy regarding the Jewish Calendars. Brother Sal's thesis can be superimposed on the Jewish Calendars.
The sequence could begin on April 14, April 15 (Nisan 17) or even April 20. And Shavuot could be June 2 or June 8.
Blessings,Mike
