"What is special about 2016?"

 
Hello, John and Doves,
Hanukkah 2016 [in the Jewish year5777] begins the evening of 24 December 2016.
Meshiach Yehoshua was probably conceived during the Hanukkah season long ago.

     Now, we know that notwithstanding all the daycount theories, the Dow Jones point fall on 29 September 2008 was 776.68 points--or 777 (rounded).
     Rest assured that we are ALL on God's "A" plan!
He does NOT make mistakes! [See Romans 8:28 and (when in doubt) Isaiah 46:10 plus Isaiah 55:11.]
    Yehoshua's birthday is probably around Sukkot.
However, Rosh Hashanah 2016 [1 Tishrei 5777] begins the evening of 2 October 2016, lasts two days, and ends on the evening of 4 October.
     Go figure! No, really! Go ahead and stir in your favorite, favorite theory on the Rapture, and see what you get!
     Oh yeah, God invented "snarky!" 776.68 translates to 8 Elul 5776, which is Sunday, 11 September 2016 [having begun the evening before].
~Blessings,
