More Thanksgiving Rapture Info

November 26 is beginning to look very interesting. I’d be watching the whole way though (22nd on…) – why not??? Its been a long watch anyways J

President Roosevelt finally settled the debate about which Thursday to celebrate Thanksgiving in 1941. 66 years ago. This is a multiple of 22 and if you do read Lamentations notice every chapter is a multiple thereof with one chapter having 66 verses. Lamentations is what will be happening to those that will be subsequent harvests after the 1st harvest/Rapture (I have more info on Lamentations under prophecy at my website if interested). Notice that the vote was 23 for and 22 against. There is that separation number again. Much speculation about the 26th & 27th since that will likely be a dividing of Jerusalem day. Maybe the decision will be made based on Thanksgiving in our hearts and carried out later. The last Thursday of November is the 29th so we could actually be on “red alert” watch all the way until then.

66 has significant meaning according to the BibleWheel:

This coupled with 144 years since Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgivng makes this date too good not to be watching!!!!!

Maybe, YHWH will Rapture Christians which will be our meeting of Jesus on Thanksgiving and will meet Israel 2520 days later (7 biblical years) on the 7th day of Tabernacles 2014 – the math all works on those days I believe.

1939 to present

It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with National Thanksgiving Turkey Presentation. (Discuss)
Abraham Lincoln's successors as president followed his example of annually declaring the final Thursday in November to be Thanksgiving. But in 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared that Thanksgiving would be the second-to-last Thursday of November rather than the last. With the country still in the midst of The Great Depression, Roosevelt thought this would give merchants a longer period to sell goods before Christmas. Increasing profits and spending during this period, Roosevelt hoped, would aid bringing the country out of the Depression. At the time, it was considered inappropriate to advertise goods for Christmas until after Thanksgiving. However, since a presidential declaration of Thanksgiving Day was not legally binding, 23 states went along with Roosevelt's recommendation, and 22 did not. Other states, like Texas, could not decide and took both weeks as government holidays. Roosevelt persisted in 1940 to celebrate his "Franksgiving," as it was termed. The U.S. Congress in 1941 split the difference and passed a bill requiring that Thanksgiving be observed annually on the fourth Thursday of November, which was sometimes the last Thursday and sometimes (less frequently) the next to last. On November 26 of that year President Roosevelt signed this bill, for the first time making the date of Thanksgiving a matter of federal law.
