Dear Jim,
    In your post "Historical Perspectives and Christ's soon return"  of September 23 you said, "Since 1 AD, this tetrad has occurred on these holy days a total of 7 times.  In 2014-2015, it will be the 8th time."
My question:
     Isn't "8" (in the Bible) generally recognized as the number of  completion?
    Hmm!

I believe 8 means new beginnings, and 7 is the number of completion.
