I was persuaded to consider and eventually adopt this view from reading Rosenthal's and later VanKampen's books while studying the scriptures seeing that this view alone harmonizes all of the prophetic teachings. Recently I listenend to Jack Hayford's messages on this as well and he has some very interesting insights as to the events that would happen and cause the world to not even realize that we would be missing! As well, it is clear from studying a number of passages that many will not realize when the beginnning of the 70th week has started. Thank you for your site and information.
