I have written both you and Mike Mickey before regarding this event known as the rapture. I prefer the true Greek translation "harpazo" but, we are talking about the same event.

In May of this year I sent you both an analogy regarding Jesus' recorded comments from Luke 17:26 saying:

And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

I just completed reading an interesting letter form you site, John, written by Ed P. regarding the Temple sacrifice, the length of the "great tribulation" and rapture timing.

See here: http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/june2006/edp63.htm

I am still stuck on the fact that the Holy Spirit made certain Moses recorded this from Genesis 7:11;

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

Why would He make certain this day was recorded in Scripture? Then, the ONLY time it is referred to is when He is here as a man, from Luke 17:26? Jesus Did say "days" of Noe and that means from the "day" Noe was born until the "day" Noe died.

Those would totally encompass the "days" of Noe. Including the oddity Noe died in the year 2006. Check here: http://www.practicalchristianliving.org/timeline.htm

They have a typo in that they record Noah died in 2005 yet if you check the numbers he was born in 1056 and lived 950 years. 1056 + 950 = 2006. Also Abraham was the father of Israel and He was born in 1948. Coincidence?

Anyway, back to this "days of Noe" thing.

By Ed P.'s calculations and the idea that the "great tribulation" is in fact not 7 years but 3 1/2 years, this fits a very peculiar time line that also coincides with another very interesting fact. That is this.

I am aware, as I am sure you both are, that there has been a lot of attention paid to Javier Solana and the AC, "Recommendation 666" and the EU document 666 giving Solana power. Go here: http://europa.eu/generalreport/en/1998/x0666.htm

Recommendation 666: http://bibleprobe.com/recommendation666.htm

One document created his seat of power and the other gave him his power.

Solana was also present and signatory to the Road Map to Peace Go Here: http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/rls/22520.htm

Signed July 16, 2003. Scripture says the people of the "prince that shall come" Dan. 9:26, points to the AC and he is to "confirm a covenant with many".

The Hebrew for "confirm" is "gabar" and means "strengthen." What seems to be a misnomer is he makes some deal with Israel alone. Scripture clearly says "many." And with all the other leaders signatory to the Road Map, all nations of the world are represented. How "many" more are needed?

Back to my main point. And I know you don't like "date setting" but God "set a date" in Genesis 7:11. When I wrote you this past May I was considering that Iyyar was the second month. It is today, but, it was not "in the days of Noe."

Back then Cheshvan was the second month. Today it is the eighth month. "The flood began on the 17th of Cheshvan, and ended the following year on the 27th of Cheshvan." Go here: http://www.inner.org/times/cheshvan/cheshvan.htm

The main point is if Ed P. is correct then what about this "days of Noe" thing? It falls right in the middle of what Ed P. has calculated.

I believe without reservation the Road Map IS the "covenant with many" and it was "confirmed" by Solana (if he is the guy) 3 1/2 years ago on July 16, 2003. That could put the start of some nasty stuff in November 2006.

Daniel 9:27 simply says in the "midst" or middle. The Hebrew is "Chetsiy and means middle, which could or could not, be construed to mean precisely the halfway point. November 19, 2006 (Cheshvan 17, 5766) would be awfully close to the mid point of a 7 year "covenant" starting July 16, 2003.

Interesting thoughts. And I am still stuck on trying to get someone else to help me understand why God Himself made certain a date was recorded in His Word. He Himself, was the only one who has made reference to, when He walked in the human form of Jesus Christ.

Why would He make certain Moses recorded that particular day, then refer us to it Himself, if it has no meaning? I believe it has huge significance and I believe overlooking it is naive, at best. What are your thoughts?

Whatever they may be, this cannot be just set aside without further understanding. And with all that is coming at us, I believe this coupled with Ed P's findings are hugely significant.

Keep looking up Brothers, we are going home soon, that IS a fact.

YBIC,
