Dear John & Doves,
 
  The Rapture can be found in the 148th chapter of the New Testament (1 Corin. 15), the 186th chapter (1 Thess. 4), and in the 242nd chapter (Rev.4), but why is the Rapture found in those chapters?  I hope to show you below. <G>
 
  I think the most interesting thing I found about the 148th chapter of the NT  is the fact that it is the 113th chapter from the end of the Bible. There are 1076 chapters in the Bible before it, and there are 113 chapters from the 148th thru the 260th chapters of the NT. The 260th chapter of the NT is the 1189 chapter of the Bible as Rev. 22.  The prime number 113 is significant because 113 x 9 = 1017 (Clay Cantrell's Rapture pick date).  So I find it very significant that the 148th chapter was placed as the 113th chapter from the end of the Bible.  Also the 1076 chapters before 1 Corin. 15 are equal to 2 x 538, and Clay previously told us in one of his posts that there are 538 electoral votes in a U. S. Presidential election which takes place in a leap year.  The 148th chapter is also significant because when the number 148 is multiplied we find the following in Greek gematria:  148 x 6 = JESUS 888, 148 x 10 = CHRIST 1480, 148 x 16 = JESUS CHRIST 2368, & 148 x 20 = SON OF MAN 2960.
 
  The Rapture chapters of  the 148th and the 186th when added together total 334, and 334 x 6 = THE SON OF GOD 2004, and 2004 is the present year we are now in.  Also 186 x 5 = 930 which was Adam's age when he died 57 years before Enoch was taken to heaven. The 1st Day of the Feast of Tabernacles also begins on 9-30 in the year 2004.
 
  The 242nd chapter of the NT (Rev. 4) when multiplied by 3 = 726 which is the # of the word for HARPAZO (Rapture) in Strong's Concordance Greek dictionary.  From the 242nd chapter through the 260th chapter (Rev. 22), there are 19 chapters which means there are exactly 1170 chapters in the Bible before the 242nd chapter of the NT.  1170 = 5 x 234.  $2.34 was that mysterious number from Vincent Tan.
 
  When the 3 Rapture chapters of the 148th, 186th, & 242nd are all added together they total 576, and 576 x 5 = KINGDOM OF HEAVEN 2880, or THE JOY OF THE LORD 2880.  Also 576 x 5.5 = LORD JESUS CHRIST 3168 in Greek gematria.  The center of ENOCH'S Greek gematria of 291 (or the 291st day) + the center of NOAH'S Greek gematria of 285 (the 285th day) also equal 576, and both the Greek gematria of NOAH 855 and ENOCH 1455 can be found inside the Greek gematria of LORD JESUS CHIRST 3168 on the calendar.
 
  Also if you add the following chapters and verses in these 3 Rapture chapters together of 1 Corin. 15:51 (the believer's mortal body changed to immortal ), 1 Thess. 4:16 when Jesus descends from heaven, and Rev. 4:01 the ascension passage when John is told to "Come up hither," you will find that  15:51 + 4:16 + 4:01 = 23.68 which can also be read as JESUS CHRIST 2368.
 
  Hopefully this is an indicator that Clay's Rapture pick date of 10-17-2004 might be correct; however, if it is not, we will all just have to wait until it does happen.
 
  God bless,
 Donna
