…I had an error in my recap of Ron Reese’s timeline, which I have corrected.  Also, some were not able to view the message in the other format.  Here it is again:

The Prince of Persia Delay

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is the 6^th and current President of Iran.  He has been made famous of late for his promises to “wipe out Israel.” What we call Iran, was known as Persia in biblical times.  Any end times watcher has their eyes on this diabolical character.

 

Daniel was the Old Testament prophet, of which Revelation is directly tied to for end time’s events.  A person studying prophecy would surely have him high on their list.

 

In the book of Daniel, a specific mention is made regarding the Prince of Persia.  Daniel was praying to God for understanding and the deliverance of his people.  In chapter 10, an angel appears to him and says that his prayer was heard 21 days earlier, but that the Prince of Persia delayed his coming until Michael the Archangel defeated him.  

 

This is a timeframe I’ve coined as “The Prince of Persia Delay.”  The number “21” has prophetic attributes.  It is 7 X 3, of which, both numbers point to divine importance.  In the Bible Wheel its gematria means “I AM.” 

 

Christmas & Hanukkah…still watching!!!

 

Many Rapture watchers were looking at Christmas & Hanukkah this year.  Much to our disappointment that timeframe has come and gone.  Alas, the “watch” goes on. 

 

December 21^st was the first day of Hanukah.  There was also something else very significant that ties in with Christmas, the United States & the Moon – the 40^th anniversary of Apollo 8.  It was December 21^st when Apollo 8 launched.  On Christmas Eve they broadcast a reading of Genesis to the whole world declaring the Glory of God. 

 

When “watch dates” come and go, I typically move on to the next “event horizon” continuing my watch.  Knowing about the 21 day delay written about in Daniel, doesn’t give license to extend any date.  However, with events “spiking” in the Middle East and with Barak Obama soon to take the White House I believe it’s worth a closer look.

 

On the five dove’s website, Ron Reese has written a very compelling apocalyptic timeline.  The next event on this timeline would be the Rapture.  The “watch date” for this prophetic event is January 11^th.  Here is the date calculation from December 21^st which is the 1^st day of Hanukkah and the launch date for Apollo 8 (which would also be a Christmas tie-in).

If you have been reading five doves regularly then you are well aware of the compelling information pointing to this date.  I would point you to the website for further research:  www.fivedoves.com (read Ladder Day Letters).

 

Here is a quick overview:

 

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Oct 29, 2008 (covenant w/ many) + 75 days (of Daniel 12) = January 11, 2009 (Rapture)

 

Oct 29, 2008 + 2520 (7 biblical years) = September 23^rd 2015 (Feast of Atonement)

 

January 11, 2009 + 2520 (7 biblical years) = December 6^th 2015 (Hanukkah Eve, Temple Dedication)

______________________________________________________________________

 

Admittedly, when Ron first came out with this date, I was still focused in on Hanukkah & Christmas.  He did ask for input on these dates, and at the time I mentioned it being the month of Tevet.  This is the month Esther was “crowned.”  This is clearly an Old Testament Rapture Archetype.  The book does not mention the exact day within the month Esther was called up.  As such, the entire month of Tevet should be watched based on the prophetic qualities of the book of Esther alone. 

 

Another intriguing point has to do with the ominous day of September 11^th, which Ron has pointed out in his posts.  This proposed date is a “mirror image” of this day.

 

9-11-01 T 01-11-09

Lastly, Brother Friedrich Wenz mentioned that “Epiphany Day,” the 12^th day of Christmas, may be observed on the following Sunday, which would be January 11^th. 

 

Three extra days???

 

I have some personal testimony that I won’t go into here that points to the timeframe up to January 14^th.  This happens to be 21 days from December 24^th. 

 

How do we account for three extra days, if it comes to that?

 

It says in Hosea on the “third day he will raise us up.”  Also, Jesus was in the tomb three days before he arose.

Waiting a little longer…

 

Anytime a “watcher” is looking at a date I would propose that looking at a “window” rather than one specific date may be wise.  Here is some reasoning for this:

 

Jesus said no one “knows the day or hour.”  This statement stirs up quite a bit of controversy.  The two extremes are:

 

1.       We can’t know, so why look.

2.       We can know the exact day, hour & minute.

 

I think there is room between these two ideologies.  Having “watched” for a while, I know persons who give up on a date as soon as Israel passes evening or midnight.  Ouch!  Even if the date passes, I’d like to have more time than that, and I think there is sound biblical reason to do so.

 

God is perfect and precise, but to us it seems like a delay.  He lovingly has prepared us for it.

 

Jesus said he’d come like a thief, and also like a bridegroom.  Either parable tells us we aren’t going to know the exact hour – it’s a sudden surprise. 

 

Jim Bramlett posted a great article about Jesus “tarrying” and also that He would “delay.”

In Habakkuk we are specifically told, “though it linger wait for it…” 

 

Also, when Abraham and Sarah were promised Isaac, God told them “about this time next year.”

 

And, in studying “The Prince of Persia Delay” God has given us a glimpse into the spiritual realm giving us reason to be patient. 

 

We are to be “married” to Jesus, so to us He is the Bridegroom.  We wait anxiously for his rescue!

 

But, to Satan and his horde, He is the thief.  Similar to the passage in Daniel, a Heavenly struggle may be taking place.  Michael the Archangel and the Prince of Persia may be battling it out as we speak.

 

I believe we can all see it drawing nearer each day.  Keep storing the oil.

 

Maranatha!
