Here are a couple of thoughts and then I’ll proceed with
some conjecture:
- Church born on Pentecost (last
fulfilled Jewish feast). God then turns his attention to the Gentiles
and the Church. Is it possible to fulfill in between dates???
- The numbers 111 (11)and 555 (55)
have been mentioned on this website by many people following and looking
for Christ’s return as numbers that seem to come up over and over.
I have a personal testimony for 555.
- Gospel in the Stars has Gemini
(end May & June), Cancer (June/July) and Leo (July/Aug) during these
times are models of the church. If you have not read this book,
you would get a lot out of what it has to say about the church (Satan
does not own the stars, but as usual he has made a cheap corrupted version
in the form of Astrology – however since he created the heavens
he has written his redeeming plan through his son Jesus in the stars).
- Hurricane season. I have
posted my thoughts on hurricane messages and the Rapture, God and the
whirlwind:

- I believe the USA is God’s country/last days vessel
for the church (there are many Christians worldwide, but America is a tool and
resource). If you have not read or heard Perry Stone’s insight
on this I recommend reading his book: “Unusual Prophecies
being fulfilled – discerning the future destiny of America”.
- If you believe what I am mentioning
above about America
then we can look to our freedom as a country and see what we can learn
there. First of all, Independence day is July 4th, which
lies in between Pentecost and the next Jewish feast which is Rosh Hashanah.
- Philadelphia is the
raptured promised raptured church in Revelation. Philadelphia
has much significance as a city in America and our forefathers quest for freedom
and to serve God’s will during their generation.
- There are 111 days between the
church’s observation of Pentecost (June 4th, 2006) and
Rosh Hashanah (September 23rd 2006). Half of 111 is 55.5
- 56 days after Pentecost (covering
the 55.5 days) gives us July 29th, 2006.
- This is what I found on this day:
June 18 The British evacuated Philadelphia and moved across New
Jersey towards New York, because Clinton was concerned about the arrival
of French fleets. George Washington pursued Clinton's troops as they
left Philadelphia. After nearly failing, Washington stopped Clinton's
attack at the Battle of Monmouth. Washington then led his troops north. On
July 30, he set up camp at White Plains, above New York City and Clinton's
new headquarters.
Notice that the British (red coats – Satan?) evacuated
Philadelphia (I’m not even going to expand on
anything having to do with Clinton
here, but it is interesting – isn’t it). I believe George
Washington is a “Christ-like” figure for us “father of
our country”, praying for battle and crossing the Delaware, etc.
Notice Washington lead his troops North (the direction
of Heaven) above White Plains (warfare/meeting
him in the sky reference?).
Thoughts:
There
is so much significance in laying the Old Testament over the New Testament
and all that we can learn from Jewish heritage, after all they were God’s
(and still are) chosen people. However, we are still in the Church
age and maybe we have overlooked something. Maybe it’s worth
looking at our history and seeing what we can draw from it. If you
have a belief at all that America
is God’s chosen tool to spread the gospel then in his Sovereignty
there may be many things with which we can discern about how he will roll
things out. Remember it was Peter who had great discernment and recognized
the Jesus was the Christ. It was also Peter that God had to shake
up and show that he was accepting the Gentiles and beginning the Church
age. Where is the gap in all these feasts? Summer…
Great
scripture on summer:
Proverbs 6
Warnings Against Folly
1 My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor,
if you have struck hands in pledge
for another,
2
if you have been trapped by what you said,
ensnared by the words of your mouth,
3
then do this, my son, to free yourself,
since you have fallen into your neighbor's
hands:
Go and humble yourself;
press your plea with your neighbor!
4
Allow no sleep to your eyes,
no slumber to your eyelids.
5
Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
6
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
7
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
8
yet it stores its provisions in summer (look
at this verse in relation to rapture prep)
and gathers its food at harvest.
9
How long will you lie there, you sluggard? (warning!)
When will you get up from your sleep?
10
A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest-
11
and poverty will come on you like a bandit
and scarcity like an armed man. [a]
12
A scoundrel and villain,
who goes about with a corrupt mouth,
13
who winks with his eye,
signals with his feet
and motions with his fingers,
14
who plots evil with deceit in his heart—
he always stirs up dissension.
15
Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant;
he will suddenly be destroyed—without
remedy.
16
There are six things the LORD hates, (think
of why this message follows)
seven that are detestable
to him:
17
haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
18
a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19
a false witness who pours out lies
and a man who stirs up dissension among
brothers.
Proverbs 10:4-6
4
Lazy hands make a man poor,
but diligent hands bring wealth.
5
He who gathers crops in summer is a wise son,
(similar message)
but he who sleeps during harvest is
a disgraceful son.
6
Blessings crown the head of the righteous,
(crown!)
but violence overwhelms the mouth of
the wicked. [a]
Jeremiah 8:20
20
"The harvest is past,
the summer has ended,
and we are not saved."
(expecting to be saved in summer?)
John 4:35 (Jesus!)
35Do you not say, 'Four months more
and then the harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields!
They are ripe for harvest
Blessings,
