Hello everyone! Having struggled with computer withdrawal for several months due to the breakdown of my virus-filled system, I've missed keeping in touch and particularly following all your postings. It's good to be back on line once again. Now that the September 23 date has come and gone, I'd like to continue with yet another presentation for possible Rapture timing. The following dates are my recent calculations relating to the soon coming Rapture. Like always, these dates are gathered primarily from the biblical record of births, events, etc. from which I've developed "God's Calendar Study" - see link ........ http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/mar2015/judith315-3.htm Also, as we have always professed that date setting is purely speculative, I'm sharing these dates strictly as possibilities and hopefully as a source of encouragement. In any event, we all know that the Rapture is at the door, so we can all be filled with great anticipation and excitement knowing that fact. RAPTURE - Recently I had developed a possible Sept. 10/11, 2015 date for the Rapture on our 365.25/day calendar which coincided with Feb. 3/4 , 2045 on the 360/day calendar. However, even though we've yet to hit the mark with the correct timing of the Rapture, we can move forward with the same level of enthusiasm and watchfulness for our Blessed Hope and in doing so I've established another possible date of October 22, 2015 based on the 365.25/day calendar which coincides with March 14, 2045 on the 360/day calendar. October 22, 2015 (or 6l98.6 - See Calendar Study) was the date for PENTECOST while March 14, 2045 (or 6289) was the PASSOVER date for Jesus and His disciples when they gathered for the Last Supper. The 6198.6 is the calculation from the 365.25/day and 6289 from the 360/day calendar. With PENTECOST coinciding with PASSOVER for the Rapture is certainly an appropriate combination IMO. Frankly, I hope I'm wrong and that it will be sooner. In the meantime happy and joyful watching! TRIBULATION - The Tribulation dates in this study are significant in that they coincide with an amazing historic event and one that is soon to come. The one that is yet to come is according to Haggai 2:19 which states that a blessing for Israel will happen on a specific date. Haggai 2:19 says in part - "from this day on I will bless you". God gives us the 9th month and 24th day (November 24) as being that date. That proclamation, naming the very day for the beginning of a great blessing was on the 360/day calendar. Now, however, November 24, 2015 (or 6198.7) is on our 365.25/day calendar. This historic date is one that will happen simultaneously with April 17, 2045 (or 6289.1). The significance of these dates and how they relate or coincide are amazing! April 17, 2045, which again is on the 360/day calendar, just happens to be the same date of NOAHI'S FLOOD. Is there any other date that could be more appropriate than this for the beginning date for Tribulation? Now, however, November 24 will be in stark contrast compared to the April 17 date (these happening simultaneously) for this day will truly be a blessing to Israel This will be the very time God will again turn His attention to His beloved Israel and when they will return to Him. This will be the time for the two witnesses and the 144,000 from the 12 tribes of Israel. Imagine the jubilation for those in Israel who will discover their true Messiah! All the joy in spite of the horrors of the day with the realization of the Anti-Christ and his reign. Those two dates (April 17 & Nov. 24) coincide perfectly for being possible dates for the Tribulation to begin - the flood which resulted in total destruction and reorganization of the earth, but blessings for Israel as the Lord promised in Haggai. 75 DAYS - If the Tribulation begins on Nov. 24, 2015 and April 17, 2045, by adding the 30 days of Daniel brings us to May 17 and Oct. 18. NOTE: After 7 yrs. on the 365.25/day calendar, we have 37 extra days over the 360 day year count. To be in sync and have the equivalent of the 360/day calendar,\ we subtract 37 days which will end the Tribulation on Oct. 18 - (2 days are added to the 5x7 days (35 days) because of the 2 leap days which will occur during those 7 years. By adding 30 days to the 360/day brings the date to May 17. That date has it's significance in history as that was the very day God came down on Mt. Sinai to speak to Israel. See Ex. 19:1 & 19:10. Then by adding the remaining 45 days of Daniel to fulfill the 75 days brings the ending date to July 2. The significance of that date is remarkable as that is the very date that the flood ended - July 2/3 on the 365.25/day calendar. WOW!! The ending date on the 365.25/day has it's significance as well. The full 75 days added from Oct. 18 comes to Jan 1. That date happens to be the very day God spoke to Moses just before he died and just before Israel was to take possession of the Land of Israel - that, after 40 years of wandering had passed. God was giving instructions to Moses that he was to share with the people. In part....."See I have given you this land. Go in and take possession of the land that the Lord swore He would give to your fathers - Abraham, Issac and Jacob, and to their desendants after them" - Deuteronomy 1:8. Later on in chapter 29 verse 12, Moses is telling the people they are standing here in order to enter into a covenant with the Lord your God. In fact, the whole book of Deuteronomy, with the exception of the last chapter 34, takes place on January 1 for this momentous occasion. Truly that day is a day to be remembered and so it continues as a remarkable remembrance when Israel is complete and in her land as foretold by God. Be blessed. Judith
