Dear John & Fellow Watchers:
 
If this verse is applicable to the end times then I imagine it would account for the time between Ascension Thursday & Pentecost. With the living saints being translated on Ascension Thursday and the work of the Holy Spirit commencing His Tribulation training of the 144,000 as well as the 2 witnesses (whom I believe to be 2 new people without past lives) on Pentecost, the interim 10 days could surely contain much tribulation.
