I think that the seven days between the 21st and the 28th are significant in some way. Don't ask me why. Perhaps you have some insight on this portion of the mystery.
As i read your "seven day" sentence i immediately recall this from Mother Shipton's prophecies:
"For seven days and seven nights
Man will watch this awesome sight.
The tides will rise beyond their ken
To bite away the shores and then
The mountains will begin to roar
And earthquakes split the plain to shore."
The dates correlate with the Comet Elenin's closest approach on Earth. May that be the awesome sight?
God’s plan for the salvation of humanity is shown by the seven feasts He gave to ancient Israel in Leviticus 23. God told the people of Israel to celebrate these feasts as “lasting ordinances.” The seven feasts are patterns that describe the two comings of Jesus Christ, whose actual Hebrew name is Yeshua Ha Mashiach. In Hebrew, Yeshua means “Salvation” and Ha Mashiach (English: the Messiah) means “the Anointed One”.
The four Spring Feasts describe the first coming of Jesus. The practices of each of these Spring Feasts clearly depict the death and resurrection of Jesus.
· Jesus is the Passover Lamb of God. “behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” — John 1:29.
· Jesus is the Unleavened Bread of Life. “I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he shall live forever; and the bread also which I shall give for the life of the world is My flesh.” — John 6:51
· Jesus is the First Fruits. “But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep” — 1 Corinthians 15:20.
· Jesus sent the Holy Spirit on the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost). “And when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place... And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit...” — Acts 2:1-4
Because Jesus’ fulfillment of the Spring Feasts is so exact, it seems reasonable that He will also fulfill the remaining Fall Feasts.
Feasts Are Divine Appointments -
Shadows of Things to Come
How do we know that God intended the feasts to show His plan for salvation? One of the clues that indicates the feasts have more significance than mere tradition and remembrance is found in Leviticus 23:4: “These are the appointed times of the Lord, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at the times appointed for them...” The Hebrew translated as “holy convocations” actually means “rehearsals”. These feasts then were appointed times of rehearsals for events that were to occur in the future. Paul provides the same conclusion when he refers to the feasts as shadows of things to come and states that the true substance belongs to Christ in Colossians 2:16-17. First century believers in Jesus understood that the feasts symbolized God’s plan for salvation of man through Jesus, the long awaited Messiah.

You are on the right track, in that the 7 major Jewish feasts are indicating the first and second coming of Jesus, but the first four feasts, the spring feasts, have already been fulfilled by Jesus coming as the sacrificial lamb.
There are actually 7 feasts that are stated to be *** appointed times of the Lord *** to be celebrated as *** lasting ordinances ***:

I just pulled up the above information at random, it came from this PDF document, but I have read a few studies that indicated the same things.
I believe this makes sense, because after the spring feasts, there is a long period until the fall feasts, feasts which correspond with mourning, asking for forgiveness, the blowing of the trumpet which is mentioned in the Book of Revelation, and the sound of which could have different meanings, and the harvest comes in the fall, as well.
ALL of these feasts were stated to be LASTING ordinances. This was so that future generations would be aware of the "times and seasons".
God Bless
Thanks. I`m hangin. The book of Revelations has always peaked my interest; the symbolic lingo added to an air of completion, kept this ancient account of appointed end time events in the forwardmost region of my mind, since early childhood.

Thank you for your post. And you`re welcome for the input. Though, sadly, my days on the Internet are numbered. I have two more days left before I`m cut off completely. I dont know for how long. Anyway just wanted to let you know that I agree that the PO destroyer is the sun. Do you think our sun will come out of it`s dormant state on or before 4-4-2011? Yes, I see that Reveations is an account of a future PO. For the first time, Revelations makes sense. Astar Over n Bug Out

Anyway to add to what I was saying about Apollo, in one sense being short for Apollyon the destroyer, ln another, a deification of something, possibly a stargate, I find it interesting, as Stargate2012 reinerates, that the Passover is the tenth plague of ancient Egyptian history, and the mythological Apollo god is not only a Grecian mythos but a Roman one as well (as per Wikipedia). Now then, of course, the Roman numeral ten is depicted in the form of a symbolic x. And everyone knows that "X marks the spot".edit on 23-7-2011 by Antoniastar because: Typo
Thanks for your input. Interesting findings especially with Apollo being related to the God of Plagues, which brings to mind the 10 plagues of Egypt during Passover.
Apollyon known as the destroyer is probably not a startgate but in other words, it is the Sun. The destroyer is the Sun. The destroyer came during Passover, Apollyon in the future is likely to come during Passover as well.
You see how everything points to a future unfulfilled Passover? The Book of Revelation is all about a future Passover!edit on 23-7-2011 by Stargate2012 because: (no reason given)edit on 26-7-2011 by Antoniastar because: (no reason given)edit on 26-7-2011 by Antoniastar because: typoes
Hang in there. We have passed 4-4-2011. The sun is currently in cycle 24 with it slightly ramping up. Yes, for the first time Revelation does make sense to me, once you understand it has to do with a future Passover.
Super work SG! Two time frames that number 1260 days (which together equal 7 years), clarify the Passover Code for me, especially couched in an allegory that pops out symbols such as birth pains, ect., like hot buttered corn. So now I shall refer to the time period beginning 10-21-11 as a time of tribulation and the Time of Wrath, beginning 4-4-15, as the Great Tribulation. BTW, there are 40 days and 40 nights counting from 9-11-11 at midnight to 10-21-11 at midnight. What`s up with that?

Ok, I think I have figured this out.
The great tribulation period is not 1260 days. That is the time of wrath or Jacob's trouble.
There is a tribulation period that is for 1260 days, but then there is a "Great Tribulation" period, which is the time of wrath.
More to come related to this brand new insight!
