Jim Bramlett notes the world population will hit 6,666,666,666 on May 10,
2008. Quoting Jim (in part), "At that rate, how long will it take for the
world population to reach 6,666,666,666?" As I previously pointed out,
it calculates to May 10, 2008. This was also confirmed by the Drudge
Report last week. At first, I saw nothing significant about that date, but I
was so wrong! Reader Dennis Pittinger points out to me that May 10,
2008 will fall on 5 Iyyar on the Hebrew calendar -- or exactly 60
years to the day after Israel came into being on 5 Iyyar 1948."
[emphasis Jim's] End quote.
One date which I use to calculate day counts is 27 Nisan
(727 Jewish Civil) - Jewish Memorial Holocaust Day, April 16,
1996. Curiously, that was the current Pope's 69th birthday. However,
that is not the reason I begin there. Bob Ware calculated an equilateral
triangle based on Bob Lee's goat dream (flashing 7:27) from years ago, which
resulted in a 21 prophetic year timeline, 7 prophetic years on each side. The
first corner of that triangle is 4-16-1996. The Virginia Tech Massacre was 11
years later, 4-16-2007. Should the Lord tarry, we might wish to delve into that
later.
Counting from April 16, 1996 to May 10, 2008 is 4407
days or 12
years, 24
days excluding the end date. One interesting verse with a total Gematria
of 4407 is Gen 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my
bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
A question to myself is, will the
bride be taken out on the day the world population reaches 666...
the AC number?
In John Tng's post http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/apr2008/tng419.htm,
John drew a good parallel between the crossing of the Jordan and
those 'taken' into the promise land as opposed to those who
crossed the Red Sea. Through Gematria, encoded by God Himself, the number 4407
is closely associated with the crossing of Jordan. It is the total Gematria of
Jos 3:8 And thou shalt command the priests
that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of
the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in
Jordan. (while the people crossed over Jordan) The
total Gematria count, 4407, is the same as Gen 2:23 (above). See http://www.bibl!
ewheel.com/GR/GR_Database.asp?SearchBy_Gematria=4407.
As indicated by measurements within the Great Pyramid (Isa
19:19 & context), 12,240
days was Jesus' life span after 9-29-2BC. Based on that birth date and
considering a perfect gestation period of (7x40) 280 days - 12-24-3BC was
His conception date. (4407 days = 12 years 24 days > 12-24
conception date) His baptism to crucifixion was 1267 days - the Gematria of
"gospel" (Mk 1:15 original text) . His birth was 9-29-2 BC. 929
minus 2 = 927 - the Gematria of "gospel" (Mk 1:1 original text). His birth was
certainly "good news" as heralded by the angels appearing to the shepherds. His
ministry of 1267 days (baptism to crucifixion) was the ult! imate in "good news"
as it provided redemption for mankind through the shedding of His blood, for the
remission of sin.
Should the Lord tarry, many (few?) may be watching May 10,
2008 (5 Iyyar) as the world population hits 666... the number of the AC. I will
be watching it for that reason: but in addition, I will be watching because my
day count is 4407 the Gematria of when Eve (the
bride) was taken out of man(kind) - Adam (Genesis 2:23) and
when the Israelites crossed Jordan into The Promised
Land (Joshua 3:8) typology - courtesy of John's post.
