"SIGNS - 55 / 555!; The Iraq War, a DISASTER?"


ALL:

(KEEP IN MIND, "55" is the Hebrew gematria for "BRIDE".  Are
things going on NOW, "SIGNS" for the bride to "COME OUT"!?
NOTE BELOW the number of days from Yom Kippur, 2004 to
April 2, 2006 (555) and the EXACT LOCAL TIME (5:55:55 a.m)
of a 5.6 quake in the Raoul Island region on the SAME DAY!!!!!

...Jeremiah 51:45
..."Come out of her, my people! Run for your lives! Run from the
...fierce anger of the LORD.

...Revelation 18:4
...Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "Come out of her,
...my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you
...will not receive any of her plagues;)

----------

Hurricane Ivan, it seems, made a BOLD statement by hitting the US
"TWICE":  ONCE on Rosh Hashanah and AGAIN on Yom Kippur!!!

...Genesis 41
...32 The REASON the dream was given to Pharaoh IN TWO
...FORMS is that THE MATTER HAS BEEN FIRMLY DECIDED
...BY GOD, AND GOD WILL DO IT SOON.

The Raoul Volcano erupted for the first time since 1964-65 on March "17"
exactly one moon cycle (29.53 days) prior to April 15 / Nisan 17:

...On March 17, 2006 at 8:21 am NZDT, a 40-second long volcanic
...eruption occurred at the Green Lake. At the time, Mark Kearney,
...a 33-year-old DOC worker, was at the crater taking water temperature
...measurements. A five-hectare area around Green Lake has been
...affected with ash, mud and boulders. Two DOC workers were forced
...to turn back after going to the crater to search for Kearney.

...1921 UTC on 3/16 - the eruption of the Raoul Volcano
...ADD: 29 days
...= 1921 UTC on 4/14
...ADD: 12 hours, 43 minutes (.53 X 24 hours)
...= 0804 UTC on 4/15 or Nisan 17
...Translated to Israel Daylight time (UTC + 3) this would be:
...11:04 a.m., Nisan 17 (April 15)

...Current Jewish Calendar:

KEEP IN MIND that on Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish
Calendar, two young goats were taken.  One goat is sacrificed for
the sins of Israel.  The other, called the "scapegoat", is LET GO to
symbolize the Lord's grace and forgiveness from sin.

Right now, Iraq, Iran, and George Bush HEAD UP the news.  It was
interesting that John Clark identified George Bush as the "goat" and
ALSO "the mighty king" in his posts so ALSO NOTE verses 31-33 of
Psalm 30 (below):

...John Clark (17 Dec 2005)
..."Did Bush stand up?"
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/dec2005/johnc1217.htm

...John Clark (16 Dec 2005)
..."RE: Friedrich Wenz (Persia... Daniel 8) "and the higher came up last""
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/dec2005/johnc1216.htm

...Daniel 11:4 And when he (George Bush) shall stand up, his (Bush)
...kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds
...of heaven; and not to his posterity (Jenna, Barbra, Jeb, etc.), nor
...according to his dominion (constitutional USA) which he ruled: for his
...kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.

...Proverbs 30
...29 "There are three things that are stately in their stride,
...four that move with stately bearing:
...30 a lion, mighty among beasts, who retreats before nothing;
...31 a strutting rooster, a he-goat, and a king with his army around him.
...32 "If you have played the fool and exalted yourself,
...or if you have planned evil, clap your hand over your mouth!
...33 For as churning the milk produces butter,
...and as twisting the nose produces blood,
...so stirring up anger produces strife."

So, "NOW", remembering John Clark's interpretation AND the Yom Kippur
"goat" AND THE 55 / 555 CONNECTION, I find this all VERY interesting!!!

The scripture from Daniel 11:4 is ALMOST EXACTLY the "type" message
that I received from something that happened to me as the sun was rising
on December 21, 2005:

Psalm 21; Jesus' "APPEARING"!!!
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/dec2005/calvinm1229.htm

Yesterday, on CNN, Wolf Blitzer was asking Senator Frist (R; TN) a
question about the Iraq War and referred to a column in the New York
Times that was just scathing!  Senator Frist DID NOT agree with the
article at all (article below).  Personally, I have wanted to know THE
TRUTH about the living conditions NOW (for the Iraqi people) VS.
"BEFORE" the war (since it looks like we have done NOTHING to
change the "Islamic" make-up of this country)!!  If these articles are
correct, the Iraq War has been a TOTAL DISASTER!  And, as I heard
someone on the news yesterday say, "We are SO STRETCHED in Iraq,
there's really not much we can do in Iran!"

GOD BLESS!!!!

Editorial
The Endgame in Iraq
Published: April 2, 2006
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/02/opinion/02sun1.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin

Unfortunately, after three years of policy blunders in Iraq, Washington
may no longer have the political or military capital to prevail. That may
be hard for Americans to understand, since it was the United States
invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein and helped the Shiite majority to
power. Some 140,000 American troops remain in Iraq, more than 2,000
American servicemen and servicewomen have died there so far and hundreds
of billions of American dollars have been spent.

Yet Shiite leaders have responded to Washington's pleas for inclusiveness
with bristling hostility, personally vilifying Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad
and criticizing American military operations in the kind of harsh language
previously heard only from Sunni leaders. Meanwhile, Moktada al-Sadr,
the radically anti-American cleric and militia leader, has maneuvered
himself into the position of kingmaker by providing decisive support for
Mr. Jaafari's candidacy to remain prime minister.

It was chilling to read Edward Wong's interview with the Iraqi prime minister
in The Times last week, during which Mr. Jaafari sat in the palace where
he now makes his home, complained about the Americans and predicted
that the sectarian militias that are currently terrorizing Iraqi civilians could
be incorporated into the army and police. The stories about innocent
homeowners and storekeepers who are dragged from their screaming
families and killed by those same militias are heartbreaking, as is the
thought that the United States, in its hubris, helped bring all this to pass.

Q&A: Iraq Results are Disastrous
By BERNARD GWERTZMAN
Published: March 24, 2006
http://www.nytimes.com/ads/agora/popMar2.html

Bernard Gwertzman is consulting editor for the Council on Foreign
Relations website, cfr.org.Anthony H. Cordesman, a leading Middle
East and intelligence expert, in a pessimistic three-year review of
the U.S. effort in Iraq, finds the situation extremely unsettling. "If we
look back on why went to war, and what our objectives are, a number
of things are painfully obvious," says Cordesman, who holds the
Arleigh A. Burke chair in strategy at the Center for International and
Strategic Studies in Washington. "We did not really prepare to liberate
Iraq. Essentially we sent in a bull to liberate a china shop. As a result,
the legacy in many ways is very destructive. Security for the average
Iraqi is now worse than it was under Saddam Hussein, who focused
really on political dissidents. The living standards of the average Iraqi
are far worse. There's far more unemployment. The distribution of
income is terrible. And though you can make a paper case that some
macroeconomic measures have improved, in the real world, Iraqis are
worse off, on average, as individuals, than they were before we invaded."
