On Thursday, April 26 I went on a father daughter trip to see the movie Avengers Infinity War.  We enjoy watching movies together and she had been looking forward to this one in particular. If you know much about the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) then you know it is important to watch the closing credits in any Marvel movie.  There are always one more more additional scenes included in the credits.  Sometimes they are something funny, but most of the time these scenes provides clues to the direction of future MCU movies.  

When the credits began to roll during the very somber end of the movie, virtually everyone in our theater moved stayed put.  Thes stayed to see what clues the additional scenes would provide. There's only one additional scene in Avengers Infinity War and it does not occur until after all of the credits are shown.  The scene contains an important clue that suggests how the Avengers will defeat there seemingly invincible enemy in their next movie, which is scheduled to be released in May 2019.  From an MCU perspective it was good scene with the surprise reveal being that the coming hero who will save the day is Captain Marvel.  But, that's not why I'm writing this post.

I don't see any smoking-gun proof that Ascension Day is the date. What I do see is a considerable amount of convergence around the three different potential dates for Ascension Day. The topic of ascension surely sounds like Rapture, it is close to Israel's 70th birthday and it is 10 days before Pentecost.

But wait, did I hear you ask how there could be three potential dates for Ascension Day? Read on to find out!

The May 2017 post titled Exit Sign by Greg Lauer of A Little Strength has resonated with me or a while  I only read it the first time in August or September but it stuck with me.  I highly recommend it if you have not read it already.

Since then I have been noodling on the idea of how to evaluate the idea of biblical speculation vs the doctrine of imminence.  According to Greg the definition of imminence is this:

Or, more precisely, at no point in time during the Church Age have we ever possessed or will we ever possess the revelation knowledge of Scripture required to confirm the exact date of the Rapture before it occurs, or the existence of a prophetic event that must precede it.

Here's how I interpret Greg’s statements:
