Dear John & Doves,
 
It  looks like Ronald Reagan's date of death and date of birth point to 1017 and 291 which is 10/17 in the leap year of 2004.   Ronald Reagan died at age 93 on 6/05 which is the 157th day of leap year 2004. 2004 also equals THE SON OF GOD in Greek gematria. Descend from 6/05 or rather 605 by continually subtracting his age 93 from 605 to arrive at the numbers 1260 (1260 Days in Great Tribulation) to 888 JESUS in Greek gematria right on down to 144 (144 cubits = the height of the wall of New Jerusalem in Rev. 21:17.)  Reagan's date of death on 605  is the 157th day of the year in 2004.  So now descend from 605 by subtracting 157 twice to arrive at 291 (291st day) which is 10/17, Clay Cantrell's suggested Rapture date. 605 - 157 - 157 = 291, and keep on subtracting by 157 to finally arrive at -1122 which was the date President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.  Now ascend from Ronald Reagan's date of death on 605 by continually adding 157 to 605 to arrive at 2960 which is the Greek gematria for SON OF MAN.
 
Reagan was born on 2/06 in 1911 which is the 37th day of the year. 2/06 as 206 - 37 - 37 - 37 - 37 = 58 which is Noah's Hebrew gematria. Keep on subtracting 37 from 58 to arrive at -201 (date of Columbia Space Shuttle Disaster in 2003) right on down to -1422 which was Enoch's Dad Jared's year of death.  You can also ascend by 37 from 1911 to 1948 which was the year Israel became a nation, and you can descend from 1911 by 37 down to 912 Seth's age when he died down to 357 Enosh's Hebrew gematria and -605 which was Reagan's date of death in 2004.
 
Now descend from Reagan's date of death 605 by continually subtracting his date of birth 206 until you arrive at -1455 which is Enoch's Greek gematria. Finally ascend from his date of death 605 by adding 206 to it, and you find 605 + 206 + 206 = 1017 which again is Clay's  Rapture pick date.  Descend from the year Reagan was born in 1911 by continuosly subtracting the day he was born on 206 to arrive at 57 which is the number of years ADAM died before Enoch was raptured ot heaven in 987.
 
Here is also something else I found about the number 291.  Israel recaptured the wailing wall of Jerusalem in the Six Day War with the Arabs on 6/07/1967 which was a non-leap year.  6/07 as 607 is the 158th day of the year in a non-leap year.  Descend from 607 by subtracting 158 twice.  607 - 158 - 158 = 291 which again points to the 291st day of the year.
 
As a side note, here is another thing about the number 291(291st day) that can be added to my November 28, 2003 post called DESCENDING BY 291: JESUS CHRIST 2368 TO 622 ENOCH'S BIRTH YEAR at http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/nov2003/donnad1128-4.htm CHRIST in Greek gematria equals 1480. 1480 - 291 = 1189 which is the total number of chapters in the Bible.  There must be a reason why the number 291 is used so much.  Does it indicate the day of the Rapture on the 291st day of the year?
 
Here is a link at http://www.safran-arts.com/42day/history/h4oct/h4oct17.html
that shows a lot of interesting things that all happened on October 17th (Clay's Rapture pick date).  There are many things listed, but to name a few in "1973 the OPEC Oil Embargo began, in 1691 New royal charter for Mass., now including Maine, Plymouth, in 1592 Henry VIII of England strips Thomas Wolsey of his office for failing to secure an annulment of his marriage, in 1492 Columbus sights San Salvador (Watling Island, Bahamas), in 1483 Pope Sixtus IV launched the Spanish Inquisition, in 1244 The Sixth Crusade Ends.  Also in 1910 Julia Ward Howe dies.  She was the composer of the Battle Hymn of the Republic which begins as
"Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored,
He has loosed the fateful lightening of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on." The entire song is at that website link for Oct. 17th.
What a day for the Rapture if Oct. 17th really is the day.  Also here is the main link at http://www.safran-arts.com/42day/history/archive.html if you want to look at any other days of the year to discover what important events happened on your own birthday.
 
God bless,
