G'day Lee...

I think people will notice. Even if it is only a few wrecked cars 
with "In the event of the rapture ..." stickers.

SA>The timelines for several belief systems might look like this...

 LL> Different theories abound.

Of course they do. Objections can be raised against any attempt to portray
any theory, or presentation ...

However, those who are in a position to (eg) re-institute the Sanhedrin,
install the "king of the Davidic line" (Antichrist), and rebuild the
Temple are working towards that end. The Sanhedrin was re-instituted
a few weeks ago - it might not yet be officially recognised by the 
Govt. of Israel, but it will be, in time, & will seek to "return" Israel
to Torah law....

The Sanhedrin of the Sixth Millenium

    G-D CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH AND ALL THAT IS THEREIN, IN
SIX DAYS. AND G-D SAW EVERYTHING THAT HE HAD MADE AND, BEHOLD, IT WAS
VERY GOOD. AND G-D BLESSED THE SEVENTH DAY AND SANCTIFIED IT, AND SET
IT APART FOR MAN TO CELEBRATE HIS CREATION(GENESIS). THE JEWISH PEOPLE
DATE THE COMPLETION OF THE UNIVERSE 5745 YEARS AGO. THUS OUR ERA IS
THE SIXTH MILLENIUM AFTER THE CREATION. THE WISDOM OF OUR SAGES
PRESCRIBES THAT EACH DAY OF CREATION REPRESENTS A MILLENIUM (1000
YEARS) AND THEREFORE OUR ERA IS THE EVE OF THE SEVENTH DAY, THAT IS,
THE SABBATH EVE. THIS IS THE EVE OF THE "PERFECTION OF DAYS," THE EVE
OF THE COMING OF THE TRUE MESSIAH-SON-OF-DAVID.

    HISTORY of the SANHEDRIN

    The SANHEDRIN (from the Greek meaning "assembly") has its origins
in the Exodus from Egypt, when G-d commanded Moses to assemble 70
Elders to share the leadership of the nation with him. This Council of
71 assumed all legislative and judicial powers throughout the history
of the Israelites, until the destruction of the First Temple.

    The GREAT SANHEDRIN---Men of the Great Assembly---was instituted
by Ezra on the return of the Jewish People from the exile in Babylon
and the rebuilding of the Temple. It convened in the Chamber of Hewn
Stone adjoining the Inner Temple Courts. The Presidency of the
Sanhedrin was conferred on the High Priest or on "he who excels all
others in wisdom." Though the GREAT SANHEDRIN had full legislative and
executive powers, capital punishment was pronounced only in the rarest
of instances. During the Roman occupation, the powers of the Sanhedrin
was whittled down to matters of ritual, and its authority was further
impaired by internal strife between rival factions. Though the
Sanhedrin was dissolved by the Romans in 66 CE, four years before the
destruction of the Second Temple, traces of it persisted in various
forms throughout Jewish history in the Land of Israel.

    Outstanding leaders of the GREAT SANHEDRlN included Shimon ben
Shetah, who introduced legislation for universal education, women's
rights, the administration of trial courts, acceptance of testimony;
Rabbi Hillel whose dictum, "That which is hateful to you do not do not
others" was enunciated as the quintessence of Jewish teaching.

    The rebirth of the State of Israel has given rise to ardent hopes
for the re-establishment of the GREAT SANHEDRIN as the guiding light
for the Jewish people.

    THE TEMPLE OF JERUSALEM

    Even as the Jewish people were crossing the Sinai desert, out of
the bondage of Egypt on their way to the Promised Land, G-d said:
"Build me a Temple and I shall dwell amongst you." (Exodus 25:2)

    Ever since those days, the Temple of Jerusalem has been the soul
of the spiritual and national existence of the Jewish People. The
Temple was the center of the royal authority of the Davidic and
Hasmonean dynasties. It was the high point of all religious ceremony
and the seat of the High Priest. Its Chamber of Hewn Stone was the
convening place of the SANHEDRIN, the legislative and judicial
authority of the Nation.

    Twice the Temple was destroyed and the Jewish People dispersed,
yet the Spirit of the Temple in all its implications sustained them
through their bitter exile.

    The prophecy of redemption is being fulfilled in our days with the
Ingathering of the Exiles and the Liberation of the Land. Yet the
great task of rebuilding the Temple is still before us.

    It is written that the Temple of Jerusalem will be rebuilt by a
King of the Davidic line, who will be installed by the High Court of
Seventy-One, that is, the SANHEDRIN.

    "And it shall come to pass in the end of days that the mountain of
G-d's house shall be set over all other mountains and lifted high
above the hills and all the nations shall come streaming, For out of
Zion shall go forth the Torah and the word of G-d from Jerusalem."
(Isaiah 2:2-4)

    The SANHEDRIN of the SIXTH MILLENIUM

    For the prophecies to be fulfilled and the Temple rebuilt, the
Nation must have a form of leadership, political and spiritual, worthy
of the honour of such a task. It must be a Torah-based system of
government, that is, the SANHEDRIN.

    Like its predecessors, the NEW SANHEDRlN shall consist of 71
judges excelling in whom; understanding and knowledge of Torah,
international law, physics and mathematics, macro and micro-economics,
cybernetics, human sciences, and conversant with many cultures and
languages. They will be people of exceptional moral fibre, maturity
and human compassion.

    By virtue of its collective acumen and wisdom, the NEW SANHEDRIN
will be the guiding light which alone will be capable of leading the
Jewish Nation to fulfill its mission and rebuild the Temple.

    THE SANHEDRIN NOW

    The SANHEDRIN is needed today to provide the Jewish Nation with
the political and spiritual leadership it must have to achieve the
long-awaited redemption of the People and the Land.

    The SANHEDRIN is needed today to restore Torah law and
Jurisprudence to the courts of the Jewish State.

    The SANHEDRIN is needed today because it is the Torah-ordained and
only authentic form of government for the Jewish People in their
Sovereign State. All other forms of government are foreign to the
spirit of the Nation and only lead to waste of the human resources of
the Jewish People, to corruption of the moral fibre of the nation, to
disorder. Witness the present situation.

    The SANHEDRIN is needed today to reunite the Hebrew Nation and
lead it to the heights of glory for which it is destined.
