Dear John and Doves,
I have hestitated in posting this as I am leaving town tommorow and am unable to devote the time to explain this in detail. You know what it's like when you have several years of little signs, numbers, gematria, revelations etc., lining up around one theme...to try to relate it all in one post is almost impossible. However, I know how fervently you are all watching and waiting and I felt I had to send what I could, just in case it is important.  The Lord never speaks to just one, if He is about to move...so if this is from Him... He will have already given you numbers, signs etc. that will dovetail into what I believe He has shown me.
I believe that July 21/22 (I always look at a day as overlapping from sundown to sundown) is a very possible date for the Manchild company to make their appearance...and if not, a very significant signpost to that effect.
    On September 10th, 1999 (Eve of Trumpets), I had a  supernatural experience, which, if I had to sum up in a few words (and I do:-)...it was the unveiling to my spirit by the Lord,  of His  soon to be manifested "Joseph/Overcomer" company of believers and the coming fulfillment of Tabernacles.
    I felt at that time, that He was telling  me that it was imperative that I  mark the day as "day one"...and number every successive day after it.  I began to do this (and still am)                        Months later, He woke me up with the number 1777.  I had no idea, at the time, what it could be referring to and spent many months trying to figure it out.
I did discover later, that it was the date of the American Flag Day....but I knew that there was more revelation to come. The day He gave me the number 1777, was July 16th/2001...the 7th anniversary of the Comet Shoemaker/Levy/Jupiter...so I  assumed He was also pointing to this event for some reason, in reference to the 1777, although I didn't see how they were connected.  After 2001, 2002 came and went...with no further understanding on the 1777, I just filed it away in my head, until just recently.
    Over the past year, I have had two people very close to me,  die of cancer. One was my pastor and one, my best friend. Both of them had a deep, intimate relationship with the Lord.  They both suffered a great deal of pain(and many other trials...financial, family etc) in their final months and yet they both stood on the Word of God, eyes focused on the Lord instead of the "waves",  until the day they died.  They were both adamant that their "testimony would be complete" whether they lived or died.  They were true OVERCOMERS.
    Over the past several years, I have, like many of you, been closely keeping track of times and seasons and keeping files on gematria numbers, dates etc. that seem to be coming together in a pattern.   I have noticed that more and more lately, (in my own studies anyway) the theme of the "overcomers" and "tabernacles" weaving their way through my studies.  When my friends died I had a fresh look at all of this and in doing so, the Lord began to re-focus me on the count from the Eve of Trumpets in 1999.  As I was doing this...I  suddenly realized that day 1777 was coming up soon...July 21/22...AND the funny thing was...in all the years I had been trying to understand why the Lord had given me 1777, it never occured to me until a few days ago, that He might have simply been  pointing at the 1777 day of my count from the Eve of Trumpets. To be fair, He didn't give me the number until quite awhile after the Sept.99 experience...so I guess that is why I never connected the two. (ok...maybe I'm just thick:-)Why do we always assume something has to be complicated?:-)))
    When I realized that the 1777 day was coming up on July 21/22 I took a renewed interest in looking at the number again.  The first thing I realized was that July 21/22, the 1777 day, falls within the 6 day time frame of the Comet Shoemaker/Levy/Jupiter(which began on July 16th and ended on the 22nd)...and it was on the 7th anniversary of the comet/Jupiter occurance, that He gave me the 1777. This July, it will be the 10th anniversary. I still don't fully understand why the Lord is pointing to it, but He definately is.   Here are some other interesting things about 1777:
.....1777 is connected to the American Flag Day and if you divide 1777 in half...it is 888.5.  The 888.5 day mark on the count, intersects at February 15/02...which is the Canadian Flag day! (remember...this is all counted from Eve of Trumpets, Sept. 10/99) If you keep in mind that historically, the tribe of Joseph settled in the USA and Canada...isn't it interesting that the count to 1777 should express the two countries "flag days" so exactly. (for those unfamiliar with the term "Joseph" and "Manchild" I refer you to Dr. Stephen Jones web site, and in particular, his book titled "Struggle for the Birthright" available for reading on-line)
....If you look at 1777 as 1000 and 777...you have the following in Gematria:
1000...HIM THAT OVERCOMETH!  + You are sons + all the
house of Israel  + my holiness (full) fire, brimstone + trembling.
777....the cross + Manchild + I have raised him up in righteousness.                                                           So..one way of looking at 1777 might be: "the overcoming Manchild whom I have raised up in righteousness".
......Another interesting point about 1777.  The count began on the Eve of Trumpets.  The Feast of Trumpets, which began at sundown that day , was on day 253 of the year 1999.  If you divide 1777 by 7(trumpets) it equals 253(.85).  In other words...dividing it by 7 will "express" the day of Trumpets, 7 times , from day 1 to day 1777.
.........the 1777th day from the Eve of Trumpets, is the 31st day of Summer.  31 is the gematria for offspring!  And for you mathematicians,  31 radians = 1777 degrees. (to do your own conversion: http://www.beg.utexas.edu/GIS/tools/deg_rad.htm
.....I then began to take some well-known gematria, such as
1480/Christ and tried subtracting them from the 1777, to see if the remainder would pull up another which would fit the theme.  I have only had an hour or two to do this so far...so will leave it to those interested to see what they can find....Here are a few:                                                                                        1777-1480/Christ=297/God
 1777-949/to New Jerusalem, in the world after death=828/Joseph's new name, Zaphnathpaaneah (Treasury of the Glorious Rest)
     Anyway...some food for thought.  Just wanted to throw it out before I leave, in case it is an important date to consider.  Kathryn LeCorre
