Marilyn,
 
Thanks for taking the time to respond. Your response makes sense. That's a good point that
Lag B'Omer is not specifically mentioned in scripture.
 
I have a different question about Revelation 8. It says, "And there was silence in heaven about
the space of half an hour." Do you think that is earthly time or do you think that is related to
the 4 passages in Rev 17-18 mentioning the kings getting "one hour" of power with
the antichrist and Babylon falling? If the hour equals 7 years of power, then the half hour would
be 3.5 years? Just trying to put it all together. Also, do you think the 2 witnesses lie dead in the
streets for 3.5 days or 3.5 years? Sorry about all the questions. Thanks,
