Those are all good points. I've been trying to make prophetic sense of all of this virus/vaccine stuff. It's starting to look like some sort of a judgment is upon the world that will greatly reduce it's population before it heads into the tribulation. Not sure how long the Church will continue to be here for all of this. I don’t know. Sometimes I feel like we’re seconds away and sometimes it feels like years. I suppose either way, we need to stay busy. I feel the same way. Great point about the jab for Israel, they seemed to have bought it hook, line, and sinker. Maybe God intends to eliminate that poison from them, He could or maybe its part of the wrath they must endure. :unsure: There was an article stating that the moderna vaxxx was not as deadly and that most Israelis took the moderna one. It could be God's mercy there. Still, Israeli is in for a terrible time in the Time of Jacob's Trouble. Zechariah 13:8 New King James Version 8 And it shall come to pass in all the land,” Perhaps many of the 2/3’s cut off might be coming from this crowd? As of March 2020 … the estimate by officials in Tel Aviv is … 25 percent of its population living in that city is gay. Who knows what the stats are in the other cities. Here's my question, 1/3 of all Jews alive at the start of the Trib ? 1/3 of all Jews alive at the start of the Great Trib ? Some people think that the feeding of the 5000 could be a reference to the Jews that flee during the Tribulation. They point out it's interesting that it's in all 4 gospels hence therefore very important. The point being 5000 men plus women and children is probably around 20 - 30 thousand people. So it's possible that's around the number of Jews who survive the Tribulation and go on into the millennial kingdom. I'm sure a lot more will get saved and martyred during the Tribulation. Anyway just something I heard. Geri, it just sounds unlikely to me that 25% of Tel Aviv is gay. I heard one time the government considers you gay if you never married; that would make me and several of my friends gay and none of us are. Gays do love to promote the idea of homosexuality; to present it as normal and acceptable rather than the perversion it is. I tend to believe it is being over promoted. As far as possible rapture dates, it looks like July 18 is considered both as 9th of Av and the New Wine Festival. Tom Gaston has found 9 Bible Codes for the rapture on this date for this year. Though the Bible Codes have not yet been accurate, it is still always interesting to me when there is a rapture Bible Code for a future date. One of the codes was found on a short skip sequence in Ezekiel 39. This was even more interesting to me as this chapter talks about the Gog Magog War which the nations seem currently lined up for. Most prophecy experts put this war in the first half of the Tribulation. Some think the US is destroyed at the rapture with the loss of the church no longer holding back God's wrath on this nation. That reminds me of this verse: Ezekiel 39:6 I will send fire on MaGog and those who dwell securely (also interpreted "carelessly") in the coastlands; and they shall know that I am the Lord. I like the New Wine and the 9th of Av on jul 17th/18th/ Sat/Sun! Or Jul 28 the 17th day of the fourth month! TR Hmmm...doing a little late night musing... If Jesus were to return on the 9th of Av, redeeming that day, in 2028 that would be August 1, 2028. Minus 2520 days and you come to September 7, 2021. Feast of Trumpets, is it not? 
We do know that 2/3 rds will be cut off and 1/3rd will survive.
Says the Lord,
“That two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die,
But one-third shall be left in it:
