Patti C,

First of all welcome back!! I am sure that I am not the only Dove to have missed
your posts. Glad to hear that you have found a safe and secure spot in the high
country.

As per your post I enjoyed it very much....... and maybe that's because your
material and thoughts were that same material and thoughts that have been front
and center in my mind for the last two weeks.  I have been in the process in
that period of time of arranging a post with almost the same material and
thoughts.

What I did ( that I had never done before) was take a piece of graph paper and
on the left side of the page draw a line representing zero or the start of the
7 year period. On the right side of the page a line representing 84 months or 7
years. Then at the center of the page is 42 months (1260 days) or half way
through the trib period.

Then I took all the scripture verses I could find that dealt with time intervals
of the end times and graphed those times into that 7 year period. What was
revealed when I finished was (I believe) a picture of the whole end time
scenario from start to finish. It was amazing and made perfect sense.........it
showed at what points all the important events will happen. The rapture, the
second coming of Christ, the time the abomination is set up in Jerusalem, when
the antichrist declares himself God, the ministry of the two witnesses, their
death, when the gentiles tread the Holy City, when the sacrifices are taken
away, when the antichrist shows up, what period the Jews are hiding in the
wilderness, what period the Jews are under the antichrist rule, the shortening
of the days of tribulation, etc.

And just so you know.... most (but not all) of what you stated in your post fits
and agrees with what I found.

As soon as I figure out how to get this hand graphed drawing on an email I will
share it with you and the rest of the Doves. (I don't have a scanner)

Blessings.......John B
