Dear John,
    Here is another little bit for the Doves to think about.
 
                         WELCOME TO 2005
 
2 + 0 + 0 + 5 =     7    The Bible number associated
                                 with the doctrine of completion or
                                 fulfillment.  Means to bring to an
                                 end, close, complete, fill up, make
                                 an end.
 
2 x 0 x 0 x 5 =     10    The Bible number associated with
                                  the Law.  Significantly, following
                                  the rapture of God's people Israel
                                  is going back under the Law for
                                  another seven years, Daniel
                                  9:24.
 
2                                The Bible number associated
                                  with division or separation.  It
                                  means to divide, separate, take
                                  out from among, etc.  This is
                                  exactly what will happen at the
                                  rapture of God's people.
 
5                                The Bible number associated
                                  with the doctrine of GRACE.
                                  This can be either positive or
                                  negative.  It is obvious that
                                  those people left on earth to
                                  enter the terrible Tribulation will
                                  be those who have rejected the
                                  GRACE of God during this
                                  present dispensation of GRACE.
 
       2 0 0 5                 The present year
     - 1 7 7 6                 The year the U.S. was born.
  _________
 
          2 2 9                  Years of U.S. existence.
 
2 + 2 + 9   =  13           The Bible number associated
                                   with sin or rebellion.  Look at
                                   our nation today.  Be honest!
                                   Is our nation walking with the
                                   Lord and in the light of His
                                   Word today, or is this nation
                                   rebelling against the God who
                                   created us?
 
2 x 2 x 9  = 36              The Bible number associated
                                    with the enemy.  Certainly
                                    this nation is today under
                                    attack by the enemy of the
                                    souls of men, both within the
                                    nation itself (the liberals, the
                                    ACLU, the abortionists, etc.),
                                    and without (terrorism, etc.).
 
    Isn't it interesting that all the numbers from 1 through 13 add up to 36.  Check it out.
 
    Then add up all the numbers from 1 through 36 and you will find that they add up to 666.
 
    Where is our nation headed?  Where is the whole world system headed?  Right towards the Tribulation and utter destruction, deceived and led by the Antichrist and those gullible enough to swallow his bait.  God have mercy!
 
    Friend, this is the year!  If you are not saved, then it is time, yea, past time, to seek the Lord "while He may be found."  Tomorrow may be too late!
