Doves:

Doug and I met on Five Doves back in Fall, 2003.  Since
that time, we have conversed pretty regularly by Email.
Once, when I had "eaten" a post (sent it to myself thinking
that it was TOO PERSONAL), Doug had a dream of a
mother bird "eating" the babies' food.  He told me about it
WITHOUT the knowledge of what I had done.  The message
was FOR ME so I, later, posted the message which I had
formerly "eaten".

Anyway...

I would like to say that I TOTALLY BACK what Doug
wrote regarding 7/17!

http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/june2005/dougc618.htm

These things are for the Body of Christ!  I have NEVER
seen the signs (personal, governmental, earthquakes,
heavenly signs, etc.) SO NUMEROUS!

...1 Corinthians 10
...11 These things happened to them as examples and
...were written down as warnings for us, on whom the
...fulfillment of the ages has come.

Here is another pointing to 7/17:

Back on May 15,16, 2003, there was what is called a
SCORPION Moon.  That is when the moon is in an
eclipse near the "ANGRY" red star Antares in Scorpio,
the scorpion.  When the moon darkens, the red star on
the scorpion's back appears to "GLOW".

The following is quoted from E. W. Bullinger's "The
Witness of the Stars", pp. 55-56.

..."The scorpion is a deadly enemy (as we learn from Rev. 9),
...with poison in its sting, and all the names associated with
...the sign combine to set forth the malignant enmity which is
...'set' between the serpent and the woman's Seed."

When he referred to the "woman's (Israel's) Seed, he was
referring to the saints who believe in the One Who came
"THROUGH" Israel - Jesus - and have believed the message
passed down through the Jewish patriarchs and prophets
in the Bible (as mentioned in Revelation 12):

...Revelation 12
...1 A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman
...clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a
...crown of twelve stars on her head.
...2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about
...to give birth.
...3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red
...dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns
...on his heads.
...4 His tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung
...them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman
...who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her
...child the moment it was born.
...5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the
...nations with an iron scepter. And her child was snatched
...up (THE RAPTURE) to God and to his throne.
...6 The woman fled into the desert to a place prepared for her
...by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.

...17 Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went
...off to make war against the rest of her offspring--those who
...obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony of
...Jesus.

On this night between the 15th & 16th of May, 2003, during
the maximum eclipse, the time nearest midnight WORLD-
WIDE was EDT (or East Coast time) ONLY.  In other words,
like a roulette wheel, there can be ONLY ONE TIME ZONE
IN THE WORLD nearest the time where the maximum eclipse
occurs.  NOT ONLY was this an ominous sign, the Scorpion
Moon TARGETED AMERICA!!!

Taking into account thoughts of great prophecy teachers
such as Hal Lindsey and others who have SOUGHT to
understand the depth of meaning in prophecy for YEARS
and who have been TOTALLY SHOCKED by the actions
of this nation towards Israel over the last few weeks, IS
IT ANY WONDER THAT THE NIGHT OF JULY 16/17,
WILL BE EXACTLY 29 CYCLES (29 means "depart")
from the ominous Scorpion Moon!  For those of us who
believe that the "New Testament Babylon" is the US,
THE MESSAGE IS CLEAR!!!

...Zechariah 2
...7 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest [with] the
...daughter of Babylon.
...8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory
...hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you:
...for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

...Revelation 18:
...3 For all the nations have drunk
...the maddening wine of her adulteries.
...The kings of the earth committed adultery with her,
...and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her
...excessive luxuries."
...4Then I heard another voice from heaven say:
..."COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE,
...so that you will not share in her sins,
...so that you will not receive any of her plagues;
...5 for her sins are piled up to heaven,
...and God has remembered her crimes.

The moon travels through this area of Scorpio approx.
every 27.35 days.  You can do the math!

From and including: Thursday, May 15, 2003
To, but not including: Sunday, July 17, 2005
It is 794 days from the start date to the end date,
but not including the end date
Or 2 years, 2 months, 2 days excluding the end date
29 X 27.35 = 793.15

By using Sky and Telescope's excellent "Sky Chart",
one can see that THE MOON IS IN THE ALMOST THE
EXACT SAME SPOT, just before Midnight on the night
between July 16/17, 2005 as it was on the night of the
Scorpion Moon back on May 15/16, 2003.

Jack Horkheimer's "STARGAZER" script of the eclipse:

13 Iyyar, 5763 (May 15, 2003) Lunar eclipse/
"Night of the Scorpion Moon"

Our Rabbis taught, When the sun is in eclipse it is a
bad omen for idolaters; when the moon is in eclipse,
it is a bad omen for Israel, since Israel reckons by the
moon and idolaters by the sun. If it is in eclipse in the
East, it is a bad omen for those who dwell in the East;
if in the West, it is a bad omen for those who dwell in
the West; if in the midst of heaven it is bad omen for
the whole world. If its face is red as blood, [it is a sign
that] the sword is coming to the world; if it is like
sackcloth, the arrows of famine are coming to the
world; if it resembles both, the sword and the arrows
of famine are coming to the world. If the eclipse is at
sunset calamity will tarry in its coming; if at dawn, it
hastens on its way: but some say the order is to be
reversed. And there is no nation which is smitten that
its gods are not smitten together with it, as it is said,
And against all the gods of Egypt I will execute
judgments. (Talmud - Mas. Sukkah, 29 a)

GOD BLESS!!!
