Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. Galations 4:28Regarding people seeing the number 747 which can represent 7/4/2007Shawn Vargas (10 Feb 2007) - "747 and Transformers movie"James S (5 Feb 2007) - "Another Rapture ("Ark") and "747" Connection?"The date 7/4/2007 is the 231st anniversary of the founding of the nation called the United States of America on 7/4/1776, (using solar years). At that time it has been researched that 96% of the population professed to be Protestants and many had, or were descendants of those that had, fled religious persecution in primarily eastern Europe. They were fleeing to a new land that held out the promise of religious freedom, where they could worship God, and His Son Jesus Christ, as they desired.The number 231 is 33 times 7. And 33 throughout Scripture and as documented in "The Arithmetic of God", means "Promise".And brought home such as in the vote to make Israel a Nation, (33 Nations voting for, and 13 voting against, 13 being the number of rebellion):Jan Mikael (8 Feb 2007) - "Two very important days, in the reborn of Israel !"Which the 7 brings up the subject of the seven fold punishment of the House of Israel and the House of JudahDeborah (5 Feb 2007) - "Lydia re: Ezekiel's 430 Years and the date May 14, 1948"Bonnie Gaunt (9 Feb 2007) - "To Linda: Ezekiel's 430 years"Linda Semler (8 Feb 2007) - "Ezekiel's 430 yrs."Apparently ending in 2009 for the House of Israel, (using regular solar years), per Bonnie's post.The date 7/4/2007 is also the 60th anniversary of the founding of the nation called Israel on May 14, 1948, (using prophetic years). The number 60 stands for Pride.May 14, 1948 + 60 * 360 days (21,600 days) = July 4, 2007Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. Jeremiah 31:31-33
