Doves,
I saw this article and considered it prophetically significant because the timing seemed important.
Knesset Members Demand IDF Reopen Joseph's Tomb
(IsraelNN.com) 35 Knesset members from various political factions are calling on the IDF to renew civilian access to the tomb of the Biblical Joseph in Shechem. The site, at which Jews have gathered for prayer over the generations, has been closed to visitors for the past three years due to the dangers posed by Arab terrorists in the region.

What is significant?
Heb 11:22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
Don’t get too excited just yet. There is more….
Joseph was buried in Shechem in the field that Jacob purchased.
Jos 24:32 And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.
Gen 33:18 And Jacob came to Shalem 8004, a city of Shechem, which [is] in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city.
Gen 33:19 And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for an hundred pieces of money.
Gen 33:20 And he erected there an altar, and called it Elelohe-Israel.
Do you see it?
Jacob bought the very field that Melchizedek was king.
Gen 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem 8004 brought forth bread and wine: and he [was] the priest of the most high God.
Jacob knew there was something special about the field he was purchasing.
Mat 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
I also noticed that 3319h is the Strong’s number for “finished” used only once.
Ezr 6:15 And this house was finished 3319 on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
Ezr 6:16 And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy,
Ezr 6:17 And offered at the dedication of this house of God an hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve he goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
Ezr 6:18 And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, which [is] at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses.
Ezr 6:19 And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth [day] of the first month.
Ezr 6:20 For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them [were] pure, and killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
This year, 3 Adar is Feb 21, 2007 and hence the eve of the dedication and anointing of the temple.
4 Adar is Feb 22, 2007. It is 2243 days since 1/1/2001 (1st day of the 21st Century).
2243g = Elijah.
I don’t know that anything will be noticed. We may have to see it by faith.
Luk 17:20-21 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
