See Tramm's article re the Jubilee here:
I am trying to think in terms of how God might bring this age to a close, with the rapture being one event within the whole.
I am trying to take into account Leviticus 12, thinking perhaps there will be an initial removal followed by either a 40 or by an 80 day window of time.
I believe Jesus gave us big clues on a transition from one age to another.
Watching for Jesus is more than watching for a one day event.
Why did Jesus put in 40 days between His two ascensions?
