Hi Mathman,
 
Awesome post!  And a great analogy.  And I think your post just gives so much more support for a Pentecost Rapture date.
 
So, if He ends the dispensation of grace and resumes with the Jews on Pentecost, then where does that leave the apostate church, that has already come to the full on Oct. 29, 2008 (Dan. 8: 23) when BHO stood up, which church will also miss the Rapture, except they repent and believe the true Gospel/doctrine of Christ, which teaches that we can cease from doing the sins of the flesh, before Pentecost?  Because once the Rapture comes, the apostate church (them who do not believe it's possible to cease from the deeds of the flesh) will be lost, God sending strong delusion upon them that they should believe a lie, because they refused to believe the truth.
 
The idea of those believers within the church, that they can still be saved during the great tribulation, if they miss the Rapture is a lie.  The church must wake up NOW and repent before the Rapture!!!!  
 
We all must truly repent of our sins, and believe that it's possible, that with God (you and Him together), we can cease from doing these sins: read 1 Cor. 6: 9-10; Gal. 5: 19-21, etc.
 
God is coming ONLY for a faithful Bride, not one who is still doing the sins of the flesh!
 
PLEASE HEAR ME!  THIS IS THE TRUTH!!!!!
 
IN CHRIST,
GREG
