It's amazing to think of the excitement that a bride
MUST feel as her "day"
approaches. She KNOWS that soon she
will take on a WHOLE NEW identity
with her love. Soon, she will be "Mrs." somebody.
Being a man, I'm sure that
I "CAN'T" quite identity with this!!!
The coming "marriage" to Jesus which is talked about
in scripture "SHOULD"
be the most exciting thing that we Christians have
to look forward to. I am
sure that, like most fiances, Jesus might "tease"
his bride now and then about
the "nearness" of the coming event. That seems
EXACTLY how He has been
doing us on fivedoves...and yet AMAZINGLY AND
BY THE HOLY SPIRIT...
SOMEHOW...WE NEVER SEEM TO TIRE OF IT!!!
Here are a few things that might add up to "something's
up" this week...some
"teasers" (if nothing else) which just MIGHT
indicate how near we are "OR" even
indicate that our marriage week HAS STARTED!!!
1. "Seven days 'PAST' 4/4/4"
From the VERY interesting post by Glenn Hall,
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/mar2004/gh311.htm
I figured the 1290 days (as he suggested)
from the time that
"the sacrifices were stopped on the Temple Mount"......
Time calculation
From: Friday, September 29, 2000
(Intifada starts / no sacrifices)
to: Sunday, April 11, 2004 (Seven
days from 4/4/4)
It is 1290 days, between those
dates
......per his statement (below) in possible reference
to this scripture
from Daniel 12:11:
Daniel 12
11 "From the time that the daily
sacrifice is abolished
and the abomination that causes
desolation is set up, there
will be 1,290 days.
No non-Muslims have been allowed
on the Temple Mount,
which now houses Islamic shrines,
since September 2000,
when violence broke out during Ariel
Sharon's visit to the
Mount. At the time, he was an opposition
leader and Likud
party chairman.
So you get the idea. Access
to the only "legal" place to perform
a sacrifice in Judaism is not available.
The abomination could
be seen from either perspective
- the Jewish or the Arab. In the
Arab mindset - Sharon walking on
the temple Mount WAS the
abomination of desolation.
In some passages of Daniel, it seems
that the abomination is a
process - it takes time. See
Daniel 11:31-45. Also, even in
Daniel 12:11 it could just as
easily mean, how much time is
between these two events.
In that case, we may not see the
abomination yet.
Then, I commented, The term "abomination
of desolation" seems
to carry the thought of idols or
idolatry that leads to desolation or
devastation. Could it be
that the abomination is actually the
Islamic idolatry that since Sept.
29, 2000 prohibits anyone else
from using the mount? This
abomination, then, would act as a
sign for the coming "desolation,"
or devastation, that which we
have called the 3 1/2 year tribulation.
The abomination and
succeeding desolation are thus two
different ideas, but linked.
Again, we are seeing signs which
point directly to Passover, 2004.
Now, your insight also ties in the
two numbers we have recently
started to consider again, 1290
and 1335 days.
How could this possibly not be the time?
2. "April 11th and Easter, 7 days past 4/4/4"
In my One Year Bible, on April 11th (7
non-inclusive days from 4/4/4)
the Jews cross over the Jordan and into the promised
land. Of course, this
is a "type" of our "crossing over" / "entering
our rooms" into heaven
at the rapture!!!
Isaiah 26
19 But your dead will live;
their bodies will rise.
You who dwell in the dust,
wake up and shout for joy.
Your dew is like the dew of the morning;
the earth will give birth to her dead.
20 Go, my people, enter your rooms
and shut the doors behind you;
hide yourselves for a little while
until his wrath has passed by.
21 See, the LORD is coming out of his
dwelling
to punish the people of the earth for
their sins.
The earth will disclose the blood shed
upon her;
she will conceal her slain no longer.
Now this is a little bit crazy but...we know that
many have seen 11 11. I'm
JUST throwing this in:
The priests were to stay 1000 yards ahead
of the tribes of Israel. (By
the way John Tng and others more into "234",
look at the verses numbered
2, 3, and 4):
Joshua 3
2 After three days the officers
went throughout the camp, 3 giving orders
to the people: "When you see the ark
of the covenant of the LORD your
God, and the priests, who are Levites,
carrying it, you are to move out
from your positions and follow it.
4 Then you will know which way to go,
since you have never been this way
before. But keep a distance of about
a thousand yards between you
and the ark; do not go near it."
This month of their crossing was the same as the
month they left Egypt
40 years before and, at that time, God declared
that this should be their
FIRST MONTH:
Exodus 12
The Passover
1 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron
in Egypt, 2 "This month is to be
for you the first month, the first
month of your year. 3 Tell the whole
community of Israel that on the tenth
day of this month each man is
to take a lamb for his family, one
for each household.
This year, the 11th is our Easter (and
7 days from 4/4/4), representing when
the Lord rose from the grave. http://www.beingjewish.com/misc/calendar.html
Putting all these together.
1000 yards ahead
1st month (Jewish calendar)
11th day (Gentile calendar AND
Easter)
11 11
3. "A '17th' is this week"
In Tom Gaston's post, "Gematria, and the number
153", he came up
with some VERY interesting things regarding
this week and specifically
Abib (Nisan) 18. http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/apr2004/tomg42.htm
To me, this makes the week MORE interesting
because we also have
a Jewish "17th" (meaning "victory")
this week!!!
4. "Marriage signs point to NOW"
Back in February and early March, I found some things
regarding the day
"4/4/4" and have kept them in my heart. They
are mentioned in these posts:
"A "234" FLY-BY!!!"
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/feb2004/calvinm24.htm
"444 (April 4, '04) and THE THIRD DAY!!!"
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/feb2004/calvinm25.htm
"125, 4/4/4, and the rapture!!!"
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/feb2004/calvinm26.htm
"Psalm 19 and Passover, 2004 "
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/mar2004/calvinm35.htm
In the second of the posts above, I mention seeing
a license plate which
read: M 444. I immediately thought
the "M" of the M 444 to mean "Marriage".
Last week while doing a little investigating, I found
that the number "53"
means "Marriage".
FROM:
http://leesbiblepgs.topcities.com/Numerics.html
53 = Marriage
I also found that the 53rd triangle number
(a triangle number could possibly
represent the "Trinity") was 1431
and THE SAME NUMBER OF INCLUSIVE
DAYS FROM THE "555" EVENT TO "4/4/4"!!!!!!!
Time calculation
From: Friday, May 5, 2000 (555 "marriage"
announcement***)
to: Sunday, April 4, 2004 (4/4/4)
It is 1430 days between those dates
or 1431 inclusive
1431 = 53rd triangle number
***The date of May 5, 5000 or 5/5/00 stands out (to
many) as the
"555 MARRIAGE ANNOUNCEMENT DATE" because
on that date,
the "5" VISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE PLANETS
(Mercury, Venus,
Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn) WERE INSIDE TAURUS
THE BULL (the
constellation meaning "the Lord coming in wrath
and ruling") while
it was a 5/5/00 ON EARTH!!! It has
been "interpreted" in this way:
"The 5 planets inside of Taurus are
beaconing for the bride on
Earth [it was 5/5 (55) on Earth] to
'COME UP HERE' and join them
in the heavens!!!"
5. "'Teasers' or personal signs"
I have also lately received some small "teasers" or personal signs:
In our little town, they pump the gas for you.
I went in to speak to
the wife of the owner of the station while filling
up my mother's car
on Saturday, 4/3/4. The attendant came in
and said "15.3, 29!!!" It
held 15.3 gallons and the bill was EXACTLY
$29.00.
153 = HARVEST
29 = DEPART
On Sunday afternoon, 3/21, I went to Wal Mart to
get some dog food
and some VHS tapes. They didn't have the brand
of dog food I wanted
so I just got the tapes. The bill was $5.53.
I gave the cashier $5.55 and
received 2 cents back. The bill was NOT
$5.55...IT LACKED $.02!!! This
day was 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO 4/4/4!!!
When I checked out at Wal Mart on Saturday (3/20/04),
my bill was EXACTLY
$55.08. I found "that" interesting
because the number "55" is the Hebrew
gematria of "BRIDE". Also, we know
that the number 8 means, "NEW-
BIRTH; REBIRTH; RESURRECTION"!!!!!
6. "A VERY RARE STORM...7 day warning to this week???"
Isaiah 59
19 From the west, men will fear the name of the
LORD ,
and from the rising of the sun (rare hurricane
coming from the East - cwm),
they will revere his glory.
For he will come like a pent-up flood
that the breath of the LORD drives along.

Hurricane Makes Landfall
in Brazil 
A rare hurricane
made landfall Sunday morning (THAT WOULD BE MARCH 28 -
7 day warning prior to
4/4/4???; cwm) in southern Brazil. The storm made landfall
near the beach resort town
Laguna. Laguna is about 500 miles south of Rio de Janeiro.
Reports of heavy rain and
winds up to 60 mph were made as the storm made landfall.
The exact strength of
the hurricane is unknown, but based on satellite
data and the presence
of a well-defined eye, it was at least a Category
1 hurricane. A typical
Category 1 hurricane causes winds of 74-95 mph
and a storm surge of
4-5 feet.

Powerful Storm Hits Southern
Brazil Coast
Mar 27, 8:28 PM (ET)
By BERND RADOWITZ
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP)
- A large storm spiraled toward southern Brazil
on Saturday
(THAT WOULD BE 3/27 - cwm) as a debate raged between Brazilian
and U.S. meteorologists
over whether it was a hurricane.
The U.S. National Hurricane
Center in Florida estimated the storm was a full-fledged,
Category I hurricane with
winds of between 75 and 80 mph, making it the first
hurricane ever spotted
in the South Atlantic. AccuWeather, Inc., a private
forecasting company, said
it also considered the storm a hurricane.
Brazilian scientists disagreed,
saying the storm had top winds of 50 to 56 mph, far
below the 75 mph threshold
of a hurricane. The state of Santa Catarina put its civil
defense on alert Saturday
night, warning of high waves.
The U.S. forecasters said
the worst part of the storm would hit Brazil early Sunday
somewhere between the cities
of Florianopolis and Porto Allegre, a span of about
130 miles. The Brazilians
said the storm could peter out before then.
"Winds and rains will not
be significant, so we don't need to alarm the population,"
said meteorologist Dr. Gustavo
Escobar of the Brazilian Center for Weather Prediction
and Climatic Studies.
U.S. scientists said they were baffled by the Brazilian position.
"We think the Brazilians
are, quite frankly, out to lunch on this one," said Michael
Sager, an AccuWeather meteorologist.
"I think they're trying to play it down and
not cause a panic. I don't
know what they're doing, but they're obviously wrong."
All sides said they were
basing their estimates on satellite data, since the United
States has no hurricane
hunter airplanes in the area and Brazil doesn't own any.
Satellite images showed a
spiral-shaped mass of clouds with an open area in the
center. Escobar called it
an "extra-tropical cyclone."
Sager said the storm had
a clear, well-defined eye and that it had lasted for more
than 36 hours. Storms that
are not hurricane-strength sometimes form strong eyes,
but not for that long, he
said.
Kelen Andrade, another meteorologist
with the Brazilian center, said the storm
was swirling only in a clockwise
motion and was not showing motion in the
opposite direction at higher
altitudes, another mark of a hurricane. Sager disagreed.
"If you know what you're
looking at, you can see that counterrotating quite readily,"
he said.
He predicted the storm would
make landfall at hurricane strength just before dawn
near the town of Torres.
Earlier Saturday, the outer
edges of the storm brushed the coast of Brazil's southern
Santa Catarina state with
winds estimated at about 25-30 mph and moderate rains,
Escobar said. The area is
about 430 miles south of Rio de Janeiro.
Winds in nearby Florianopolis,
a city of 700,000, were only about 12 mph, rainfall
was mild, and no damage
was reported, said meteorologist Kelen Andrade.
Jack Beven, a hurricane specialist
at the National Hurricane Center in Miami, said
the eye of the storm was
near 29 degrees south latitude and 48 degrees
west longitude by Saturday
evening. That would place it about 50 miles east of the
city of Laguna.
"To us, it has all the satellite
appearance and intensity of a hurricane," Beven said.
"I don't know what data
(the Brazilians) are looking at. They may have data services
locally that don't go out
on the national data service."
He said no agency is sending out regular hurricane advisories on the storm.
"Down there, this is such
a rare and unique event. The whole situation is
strange," Beven said.
"We're trying to help out, but because of the uniqueness
of this event, it may
be out of their expertise to some degree."
