Yesterday, I had noticed several prophetic shadows happen
all at once, and felt drawn to the scripture being pointed to by the timing.
1Sa 4:7 And the Philistines were afraid, for they said,
God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been
such a thing heretofore .
The Key word yesterday was Memorial.
See: http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/dec2007/wadeb127.htm
I had also taken notice that the location was at Ebenezer although I had not mentioned it.
1Sa 4:1 ¶ And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now
Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Ebenezer: and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.
Then I noticed Samson made mention of Ebenezer as well on
the same day:
EBENEZAR MY PRECIOUS STONE COME!
HOSSANNA TO THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL WHO IS COMNG!

What I found unusual is that Ebenezer is mentioned in 1 Sam
4:1 before it was called Ebenezer in 1 Sam 7:12. Interesting…
1Sa 7:12 Then Samuel took a stone, and set [it]
between Mizpeh [04709] and Shen [08129], and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped 05826 us.
My daughter Grace was born on 7/12/1991, and
my son Joseph was born on my birthday at 7:12pm.
Hbr 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of
grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
5826h = help

It is first mentioned of Joseph:
Gen 49:22 Joseph [is] a fruitful bough, [even] a fruitful
bough by a well; [whose] branches run over the wall:
Gen 49:23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot [at
him], and hated him:
Gen 49:24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of
his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty [God] of Jacob; (from
thence [is] the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
Gen 49:25 [Even] by the God of thy father, who shall help 05826 thee;
and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above,
blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the
womb:
Gen 49:26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above
the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills:
they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that
was separate from his brethren.
Ok… remember that yesterday’s keyword was Memorial???
When you raise up a stone in memory, it is a memorial. We
are the living stones that God is raising up to bring to remembrance what God
has done for us by His Son.
The distance between Mizpeh [04709] and Shen [08129] in the
Strong’s is 3420 Strong’s
numbers.
3420g = remembrance
http://cf.blb.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=G3420&Version=KJV&sf=4
It is found only here:
2Pe 1:15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able
after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
The location halfway between Mizpeh [04709] and Shen [08129]
is the Strong’s number 6419.
6419h = pray
http://cf.blb.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H06419&Version=KJV&sf=4
It is first found here:
Gen 20:7 Now therefore restore the man [his] wife;
for he [is] a prophet, and he shall pray [06419] for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore [her] not, know thou that
thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that [are] thine.
This is the very same scripture that God pointed out to me
about the significance of the number 60 concerning Israel:
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/dec2007/wadeb121-1.htm
There is a song the Michael Grunger wrote called “Wrap Me In Your Arms”, and we are currently
practicing it on our worship team.

If you look at the name Israel, it is a contraction of the
(Hand)(Sarah)(God). Yi Sra ‘el.
It is a word picture of God wrapping His beloved in His
Arms. When a husband is as Christ is to the church, it is the same picture of
a husband holding his wife in his arms.
That is what you call intimacy. When God is holding you in His
arms [2220h], you ARE Israel.
