"Watching July 1-7, 2007 - Patterns and Parallels"


[1] Oslo Accord Agreement
The Oslo Accord agreement on September 13, 1993 + 14 prophetic years (5,040 days) (paralleling Pharoah giving to Joseph to be second in command that encompassed 7 good and 7 bad years and Laben giving to Jacob his bride that encompassed 7 bad and 7 good years.
 
July 1, 2007 - (inclusive of Sep 13, 1993)
July 2, 2007 - (exclusive of Sep 13, 1993)
 
[2]Oslo Accord Ratification
The Oslo Accord Agreement was ratified 3 days later on September 16, 1993.  Add 14 prophetic years.
 
July 4, 2007 - (inclusive of Sep 16, 1993)
July 5, 2007 - (exclusive of Sep 16, 1993)
 
[3]Founding of the United States of America
The USA was founded officially on July 4, 1776.  Adding 231 (77 times 3) Gregorian years brings us to:
 
July 3, 2007 - (inclusive of July 4, 1776)
July 4, 2007 - (exclusive of July 4, 1776)
 
The number 231 has as its roots when added together equals 1+3+7+11+21+33+77=153 (Jesus number).  231 Gregorian years is also 234 prophetic years (Tan's number) (84,240 days) + 131 days
 
[4] Founding of the Nation of Israel
The nation of Israel was founded on May 14, 1948.  Adding 60 prophetic years (21,600 days = 60 x 60 x 6) brings us to:
 
July 3, 2007 - (inclusive of May 14, 1948)
July 4, 2007 - (exclusive of May 14, 1948)
 
[5] Numerical Chiasmus or Palindromes
The dates 7/1/7 through 7/7/7 are the same backwards as forwards.  These seven palindromic dates make up a total of 11 in 2007, the other four being 7/8/7, 7/9/7, 7/11/7, and 7/22/7.  7/7/7 is the only one that is the same no matter what the order of the digits.  It is also the one noted as a highly planned after wedding day, conveniently being on Saturday.  Jokingly, according to the media, to allow husbands to not forget their anniversaries.  July 7, 2007 is the seventh day of the week, seventh day of the month, seventh month of the year, seventh year of the decade, century, and millennium.
 
And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.  They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them allLuke 17:26-27
 
[6] Return of Jerusalem
The City of Shalom, the City of Peace, the City of David, was destroyed and the tribes of Judah and Benjamin scattered.  On June 7, 1967, Jerusalem became once again under Hebrew control.  The number 40 has had a large significance in prophecy and patterns in the Bible.  July 7, 2007 will have been exactly one month (Gregorian) after exactly 40 years (Gregorian) since the reunification of Jerusalem on 6/7/67.  It will also have been exactly 488 prophetic (30-day) months, or 2 short of 70 times 7 prophetic months from 6/7/67.  For interest, while 6/7/67 contains the number sequence 767 and 7/6/7 is one day short of 7/7/7, and 7/6/7 occurs during the Hebrew (Jewish) year of 767, there are exactly 767 Bible verses containing the word "Jerusalem". 
 
[6] 1,000 Days Till Passion Week Anniversary
Adding 1000 days to July 1-7, 2007 we arrive at March 26 - April 1, 2010 which is Abib 11 - 17, 5770, Anniversary of Passion Week, which ended in the resurrection of Yashua.
 
[7] 2,000 Days Till Hopi and Mayan Calendar End
I do not know the significance of this although great possible significance has been placed in this by others, but adding 2,000 days to July 1-7, 2007 we arrive at December 21-27, 2012.  This period begins with December 21, 2012, believed to be the day of transition from one world age to another according to the Hopi and Mayan religions.
 
[8] 3,000 Days Till Possible Second Coming of Jesus Christ
In the book "Passion, Power & Glory - Watching for the Return of the Prince of Peace", I had proposed that Jesus Christ could return on Tishri 10, Yom Kippur, in the Gregorian year 2015 as this is exactly 7 weeks of prophetic years (360-day years) since 6/7/1967 to the day.  Sir Isaac Newton, for one, stated that from the declaration to rebuild Jerusalem (Daniel 9:25) where it states, "that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven week,..." we do great injustice to this passage by just lumping this seven weeks in with the 62 weeks and not consider that it is telling us exactly when both His first and second coming will be.  Note that July 1-7, 1967 + 3,000 days is equal to Tishri 4-10, September 17-23, 2015.  So 7/7/7 + 3,000 days = Tishri 10 in the year 2015, (9/23/15), exactly.
