I got really excited by this article. I'm not sure I totally "get it," but it seems like this article is saying that more people in Israel are staying single longer. Let's assume that also means that they are staying virgins, as well (with a nod to Shmelke).

Is it conceivable we are looking at 144,000 literal virgin men in Israel who convert after the rapture and become witnesses?

Everywhere I look I see evidence that the prophecies of the New Testament are coming true in very literal ways. Rev 14 "And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty [and] four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, [being] the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God."

I have a related question, I heard that the Feast of Trumpets is celebrated on two days and that there are two watchmen for this holiday. Is that true? Would it be fair to say that this is a holiday that no one knows the hour or the day of? I heard this but I can't seem to verify it from credible sources, and I'm not sure where to look. Help, please.
