Doves,
I have been unable to
write in much, as it has been quite a difficult run for my family & here of
late. For anyone saying, persons believing in a pretrib rapture, are just
looking for the easy way out, they really have no idea...
John Tng, thanks so much
for maintaining this site. You have to be the most worn out dove here
:) Great job on the recent article. What encouragement!
We lost our home, in July
and were at first given 3 days to move our "stuff" out. Then,
they relented a bit, and gave us until July 31st @ midnight.
Having faith, and hoping
to go to our real "HOME" soon, here is some information I'll pass
on...
July 31st happens to be what
I call "ChristChurch" day. It is the day ChristChurch, New
Zealand came into being. This year, when I lost my home, the anniversary
moved from 153 to 154.
Also, this date, July 31st
is 40 days prior to the Feast of Trumpets on September 9th.
I was served papers by the
Sheriff for clearing out my home. My father happens to be an attorney and
I had him look over the papers. It turns out I really had until August
10th. This would correspond w/ Elul 1, and would be 40 days out from Yom
Kippur, Day of Atonement. Hmmm...
My wife and our family,
are in a new home. Around August 10th we were really sweating out the
bills, especially a water bill that was way past due. On Elul 1 I
received a gift of $1,000 from my grandmother. It really saved my
"bacon." Praise Jehovah Jireh!
I also have been looking
intently at 9-11. In August 2001, prior to 9-11, God had really
transformed my life. I had been baptized on June 18, 2000. I was
really in a devastated condition, and had lost my wife, children, home,
etc. Still, I had a lot of sin to overcome in my life. I will
always remember trying to decide whether I should be baptized or not, since I
was such a mess. My decision in my head went something like "I'm
going to give myself to Jesus anyway..." So I did. A radical
transformation took place and my life was completely different by August
2001. I remember writing out on notebook paper the order of my life, with
God topping the list followed by my (future) wife and children. I wanted
those 3 things more than anything else, but I knew only God could give them to
me. By myself, I was an utter failure. I needed Him. I
decided to buy a Thomas Kincaide picture that was an impression of
"heaven" for me at the time. It is called "Hometown Memories
VI." I bought the painting on August 18th 2001. On the invoice
was a number which had no significance to me until after 9-11. The
invoice number is as follows:
11910
If you read this number
right to left, it is the exact date of 9-11-01. In English we read left
to right, but Hebrew is read right to left, which is how this is formatted.
Many years later...
I began school again and
working for the military as a civilian. It was amazing when I got the job
because they had me drive along the flight line and the base is the fighin'
55th (bride). There is an old plane that I drive by out the gate that
says "Homesick Angel," and that is exactly how I feel. I signed
my paperwork to commit to the program on Shavuot 2009 - May 29th.
Working on my masters
degree is part of the commitment. When I got my park pass from school, I
was amazed. The pass' numbers were as follows:
10911
At first, I thought it was
exactly the same as the number on the Thomas Kincaide painting. I couldn't
wait to get home and compare! When I got home I found out that it is very
similar, but not the same. After much study, I believe they are
"mirror" images with the year overlapping as follows:
11910
10911
combining them looks like
this:
11910911
Knowing that "9"
is the biblical number for judgment (last of the digits), and this year will
mark the 9 year anniversary from the biggest call to repentance the United
States has ever had in my lifetime.
Is this a prophetic
pointer??? I cannot say for sure, but I certainly will be watching.
Additionally, the Thomas
Kincaid painting's print number was 477. Here is the meaning for this
number:
477 + Repentance <http://www.biblewheel.com/GR/GR_477.asp>
+ Forgiving iniquity + No death + God face to face + Lead me in the Paths of
Righteousness! + The Dove + Vengence,Punishment
It so happens that from
May 29, 2009 which was Shavuot, and the day I signed on to the Air Force
Weather Agency, it is 477 days to Yom Kippur. Wow!!! Lord, you have
my attention!
On September 11th 2001 I
was driving on the highway in Omaha, NE (where I live), when Air Force One flew
overhead to the base here for security reasons. Now I work here.
Lots of connections...
I am very anxiously
waiting and watching for the Rapture!!!
