"Tribulation; 50 weeks from "whirlwinds"; David's dream"


Dan and Doves:

Per your observation, Dan:

   Hi Calvin,
   This, morning during that time when your not quite awake
   and not really asleep, this came to mind.

   Although 1290 days and 1335 days appears to line up with
   yesterday's Feast of Firstfruits and this coming Pentecost,
   these time periods have not started yet. These time periods
   encompass Gods wrath and are what we would normally
   think of as the second half of a seven year time period
   previously thought of as the Tribulation.

   Dan
   Luke 21:36

Yes, and this "Tribulation" of approximately 3 1/2 years, God may not
even "COUNT" as starting until AFTER the "sealing" of the 144,000
which is AFTER the rapture.  God seems to be preventing major
disturbance until AFTER the "sealing".

     Revelation 7
     1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth,
     holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind
     from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. 2 Then I
     saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the
     living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had
     been given power to harm the land and the sea: 3 "Do not harm the
     land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads
     of the servants of our God."

On the 17th - we will be 7 days, INCLUSIVELY, from Easter (the 11th) and,
- on the 17th - we will be EXACTLY 49 weeks from the final day of 7 days
of record tornados.

Time calculation
From: Saturday, May 10, 2003 (last day of a "week" of record tornados)
http://www.fema.gov/emanagers/2003/nat051403.shtm
http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories/s1144.htm
to: Saturday, April 17, 2004
It is 343 days between those dates
7 X 7 X 7 = 343

Of course, that means that - on the 17th, "INCLUSIVELY", we will be 50
weeks from the Sunday, May 4th, 2003 beginning of the week of record
tornados.  Was this "week of tornados" mentioned in the Bible in Jeremiah
23 and 30 (below)?  If so, I believe that we could SOON find out!!!

Time calculation
From: Sunday, May 4, 2003 (beginning of "week" of record tornados)
to: Saturday, April 17, 2004
It is 349 days between those dates
or 350 days (50 weeks) "INCLUSIVELY"
50 = Holy Spirit; Pentecost

I noted with GREAT interest and agreement David Campbell's post of 4/10:

David Campbell (10 Apr 2004)
"Four major USA prophets and my dream"
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/apr2004/davidc410-3.htm

Please note how this passage from Jeremiah 23 "FITS" his dream.  This
is included in the "whirlwind" passage:

     21 I did not send these prophets,
     yet they have run with their message;
     I did not speak to them,
     yet they have prophesied.
     22 But if they had stood in my council,
     they would have proclaimed my words to my people
     and would have turned them from their evil ways
     and from their evil deeds.

     Jeremiah 23 (NIV)
     17 They keep saying to those who despise me,
     'The LORD says: You will have peace.'
     And to all who follow the stubbornness of their hearts
     they say, 'No harm will come to you.'
     18 But which of them has stood in the council of the LORD
     to see or to hear his word?
     Who has listened and heard his word?
     19 See, the storm of the LORD
     will burst out in wrath,
     a whirlwind swirling down
     on the heads of the wicked.
     20 The anger of the LORD will not turn back
     until he fully accomplishes
     the purposes of his heart.
     IN DAYS TO COME
     YOU WILL UNDERSTAND IT CLEARLY.
     21 I did not send these prophets,
     yet they have run with their message;
     I did not speak to them,
     yet they have prophesied.
     22 But if they had stood in my council,
     they would have proclaimed my words to my people
     and would have turned them from their evil ways
     and from their evil deeds.

     Jeremiah 30 (NIV)
     23 See, the storm of the LORD
     will burst out in wrath,
     a driving wind swirling down
     on the heads of the wicked.
     24 The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back
     until he fully accomplishes
     the purposes of his heart.
     IN DAYS TO COME
     YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THIS.

     Jeremiah 30 (KJV)
     23 Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury,
     A CONTINUING WHIRLWIND: it shall fall with pain upon the head
     of the wicked.
     24 The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he hath
     done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart:
     IN THE LATTER DAYS YE SHALL CONSIDER IT.

GOD BLESS!!!
