Doves,
I am one that I am fairly quick to spot a pattern, yet as soon
as I begin to “predict” what will happen, the events that I
would anticipate, don’t seem to play out the way I had “hoped”.
I have been told things of the Lord, but I have found it is really easy
to see something “sooner”, then what will actually be.
I think that is our human nature to a fault. We see something so wonderful,
and because of the timelessness of God, we see it happening sooner then
it will be. Look at Isaiah. He saw things, and I am sure
that he even expected to see the things he saw in his lifetime, yet many
centuries would transpire before Jesus was born.
I have conferred with Tony when he was seeing December 22,
as a day to watch. I was personally watching for December 12 for quite
some time because I saw a pattern and I made a prediction that it would
be significant. However, December 22 was a date I received in a peculiar
way on 10/10/2006. I wasn’t falling asleep that night, and I
had a peculiar thought to look up and see what Hadassah meant. As
I looked at my clock, it was 12:22am. The reason I was wondering,
was because I had just seen a 20 minute preview of One Night With the King
Sunday evening at church, and Tommy Tinney was there. I had also done
some artwork for a DVD cover for a play my church did in the spring called,
“The Queen and I”. But, what led me to look up the name,
was because my youngest daughter, Ruth Anna, when she was very young, called
her older sister Loretta Rachel, “Had’ah”. We never
could figure out why, other than it was baby talk. The following morning,
as I went into town for my men’s prayer time, the thought occurred
to check my odometer as I pull into the parking place at the coffee shop
after our prayer time. The night before, as I filled up my tank, normally
I reset my trip odometer, but I only put in a few gallons and just figured
I would do it next time. As I arrived at the coffee shop, my odometer
as I pulled into my space said, “122.2”. Now, considering
that there was no way “I” could have planned it even if I tried.
Why is it significant? 12/22/2006 is 122 days from 8/22/2006.
My dreams became ashes on that day. I had seen this date mentioned
also on 5 doves as a watch date compared to 9/11 posted on Aug 19, 2006.
What is intriguing, is that some of the dates on 5 doves as “watch”
dates, were significant in one way or another in my personal life. I do
not wish to in any way imply that I am the “reason for the season”.
I am not. Jesus IS the ONLY reason for the season. However,
our personal experiences do help us understand spiritual matters when it
does reflect the truth of God’s word.
On 11/14 as I filled my tank, I was again prompted to NOT reset
my odometer until the end of December. My odometer said, 122.4, and
it reflected a verse that I just been looking at earlier.
Joh
12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat
fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth
forth much fruit.
On 12/12/2006 as I pulled into my parking place at the office,
my trip odometer was now at 1,222.1. Nothing significant personally
that I knew of took place, except a friend introduced me to a friend of
hers who told me about a church in Jenks called Dove Ministry. For
some reason, that seemed like a confirmation that I was to be there on Wednesday
evening.
As it turned out, their minister of music, named Byron Davis,
passed away suddenly the night before from a heart attack on 12/12.
Byron was the minister of music at Higher Dimensions before Carlton Pearson
left the evangelical faith in the Gospel for a different gospel that unites
all religions. The pastor happened to have one CD left that
Byron had produced which “happened” to be titled, “In
Perfect Timing”. I asked if he was any relationship to Willie
Davis who also used to be the minister of music at Higher D, before he joined
Carman Ministries and toured with him for several years. Turned out
that he was not, but I did find that he was a minister of music at St James.
So, today I stopped in to see “Wild Willie” since
it had been since 1993 since the last I saw him. Before he saw me,
he said to another lady who asked him a question something about “Perfect
Timing”. Sure enough, after telling him who I was, he remembered
me from when I was a teenager in the 80’s. I am looking forward
to catching up with him. But a blessing I was not expecting was that
he was willing to mentor me in keyboards since he doesn’t do it any
more except with a few people.
Anyway, I had no idea that 12/22/2006 corresponded to the date
Esther was made queen.
I will relate a few personal testimonies here.
On 3/6/1987, I received a personal prophecy about my future
companion. In fact, Willie Davis was there. I eventually got
married thinking I married the “One”. After a very sick
marriage and family situation that just does not seem to get any better,
it ended in divorce and continual family problems.
On 11/15/1995, I had a dream in which I saw a girl whose face
I had not forgotten over the years. If I could picture love, it was
her. I was incredibly sad when I woke up, but also very troubled I would
have such a dream when I was still married. I was leaving on a plane from
Arizona to visit my folks and grandparents the
last Thanksgiving I spent as a family with all of us together.
After my divorce in may 2005, I had a dream on 9/24/2005 in
which I heard a name of the girl I would marry. It happened to fall on my
Grandpa’s birthday. I hadn’t ever heard the name before, and
even tried to find it in the name dictionary for a girl, and came up with
a dead end. I eventually met her online on 11/8/2005, and she was
good friends with a number of my friends from my church.
We met finally on 3/19/2006 in person, and oh my gosh, she
had the same face as my dream in 1995. I took her on a “date”
on 5/4/2006, and began going to her church on 5/14/2006. I never told
her, and really… I can’t. On 8/19/2006, (9 months 11 days)
since I met her online, I gave her a word about what I was seeing, and from
the pulpit Sunday, the pastor’s wife had a word for the congregation
that was everything I saw, but couldn’t say personally to her.
You see, IF God promised HER to me, then it is up to God to fulfill it.
I could only support her in whatever dreams she wished to pursue.
True love gives freedom to choose, and does not manipulate someone who is
not ready. All you can do is hope the seeds you planted will someday
take root and grow. You can’t hurry up the growth process.
It takes water and sunshine. Anyway. On 8/22/2006 (on my birthday
even), the friendship was severed. Sometimes our promises have to
be planted for them to grow. This was a lesson in which I begin to
understand about Grace.
From 3/6/1987 to 9/24/2005 = 6,777 days.
From 11/15/1995 to 3/19/2006 = 3,777 days.
From 9/24/2005 to 5/4/2006 = 222 days.
From 5/14/2006 to 12/22/2006 = 222 days.
From 3/6/1987 to 11/15/1995 = 3176 days.
Greek 3176 = “exceeding great” used only once in
scripture:
2Pe
1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises:
that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped
the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Hebrew 3176 = wait, hope, tarry. Used of Noah in Gen
8:12.
The other number that sticks out to me because I had seen it
recently was 3677 which combines the date 3/6 with the 777, but dropping
the extra 7.
Greek 3677 = dream. Used 5 times for Joseph, Mary’s husband in Matthew.
Hebrew 3677 = (time) appointed. Used in:
Psa
81:3-7 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. (4) For this [was]
a statute for Israel,
[and]
a law of the God of Jacob. (5)
This he ordained in Joseph
[for]
a testimony, when he went out through
the land of Egypt: [where] I heard a language
[that]
I understood not. (6)
I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the
pots. (7)
Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee
at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
Now here is the connecting thread to Esther. Esther is
a descendant of Rachel. Esther means a “star”, but also
means “hidden”. Therefore the Jews refer to the story
of Esther as the “Hidden Face of God”. Or God who shows up wearing
a “mask”. He clothes himself in “darkness”.
Psa
18:11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round
about him [were]
dark waters [and]
thick clouds of the skies.
Now, my youngest daughter Ruth, her middle name was named after
the prophetess Anna in the New Testament. She is only mentioned in
the bible in Luke 2:36.
Luk
2:36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter
of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived
with an husband seven years from her virginity;
Curiously, Phanuel comes from the Hebrew 6439 and means “face
of God”.
It is also the name of the place that Jacob called where he
wrestled with God, and God smote his thigh. God wanted to bless Jacob,
but not because of Jacob’s strength and his ability to “wrestle”.
God wanted to bless him by Grace.
The LXX reads in Mal 3:1.
Mal 3:1 Behold, I send out my messenger who shall prepare
the way before my face.
Therefore, I think somehow God is at work. I don’t
know if the dates are significant other than it leads me to dig further
into the scriptures and find things I have not seen before.
As I have said before, our personal experiences will help us
understand spiritual principles when viewed in the light of God’s
Truth. The fact that I mention a personal name or experience does
NOT mean anything other than it was a point in which a thought or idea was
connected. I have given a word to someone because I had misread a
scripture earlier that day, and when someone said nearly the same thing,
but rhymed it prompted me to look it up in the only bible handy. Sure
enough, it wasn’t anything like I had “thought” I had
read earlier, but it was EXACTLY the right verse in the right translation
for what that person needed. Isn’t it amazing what God will
use?
Blessings,
Wade
