Possible gap justification for the Rapture

Good question! I did the math and it appears that 2,000 365.25 years is 2,029.16 360 day years. Interesting.

Those verses in Esther definitely could be significant. Thanks for the heads up.
180 days and 7 days. Hmmm...

Also "In the third year of his reign"

The third year begins right after 2 years have passed.

So right after 2000 years of the church age is what I'm thinking.

Right! The third year = after 2,000 years.

Sounds almost like the Wedding Supper of the Lamb or a Millennial feast.

thanks for more info- interesting!
