imho, it may not speak of the rapture or the second coming. It may speak speak of the start of Daniel's 70th week, when sudden destruction shows up while they are saying peace and safety. We are gone already. The second coming has not happened yet. Think about it. Makes a lot of sense. It may also be at or near the time of the rapture as well, but to His Jewish audience, Daniel's 70th week at the end would fit quite well in cultural context. Pentecost just before the clock on year 70 runs out. Sounds like a huge watch time to me. Pentecost always has seemed like the perfect symmetrical placement of the rapture. End the Church age on the same day it was conceived, and then continue on to the final 3 fall feasts to be fulfilled 7 1/2 years later in the fall of 2026 at Jesus' 2nd coming. Many, many stranger things have happened. Maranatha!!! If I wake up on May 15th in my own bed still chained to this fallen earth, I will have to take a very, very deep breath and ask the Lord to give me a paradigm shift. Not sure what that would feel like and I frankly have no desire to go through the experience, Abba. Nevertheless, Thy will be done. I was looking on a "harvest times in Israel" page and it states that the wheat harvest begins in May...here's to hoping! Wheat harvest in Israel bgins in mid May and ends in mid July. Flour comes from wheat. And this is why the two women grinding the wheat and baking the flour. They are making bread. Does it mean rapture has to take place begote mid July?
