Santiago , Not sure where you wanted to go with me with that post. But I just have a couple of comments. Matt. 27: 50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. A time of great upheaval to be sure. the universe could not ignore such a time. The importance of this scripture is not who else came out of a grave, but because of Jesus death , and resurrection... the VEIL.. WAS TORN TOP TO BOTTOM.............that tells me it is not repairable, no longer of any use........Jesus IS the only way to the Father. The next is your use of what you call "the Rapture" , capital R. A nifty word to be sure full of "mystery" . Or I guess it is, since the word is not mentioned at all in the Bible. You know I always chide ol Mark for his use of "god" small letters, cause I consider God a BIG capital G. In the same way I wonder why you choose to use a capital R in rapture. Do you feel you need to lend more import to the word? When Jesus comes, IMO,,, ALL will see. Is Jesus coming soon?? Yes. 1 minute? I do not know. 1 year? I do not know. 100 years? I do not know. But I do know soon. And I will be ready. Your post seems full of times and dates and if this is that, then that is this and if we use this way then this is........well you get the picture. If God wanted us to be concerned with the exact minute Jesus was born and died and was resurrected, God would have just told us. The POWER is in the deed, not the time. The bible says. "AT THE RIGHT TIME" He died for us. I believe old Paul himself said that.(Rom. 5:6) Will I go to an "Easter" celebration Sunday? Sure will, there will be more people there than at any time of the year, what better time to tell them of a risen Savior?? (tell them next week, God willing, too!!) Rev. 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom; and the earth shook, and the rocks were split; [52] the tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, [53] and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many. Can you honestly believe if this had happened that it would not have spread to Josephus history, Roman History, Jewish history, and Paul would surely have told of it? I can and that is one reason to disbelieve the bible as God's word. Why weren't these people questioned about about the nether world? Why just 3 verses in the book of Matthew when other minor events are told by other books time and again. It violates all God's laws of nature and natural birth. When Christ comes it will be in yhour own being and not Jesus coming in on a cloud .
