"7/7/7 and Flipping Coins"
A while back I had flipped three coins at the
same time asking of God that if the rapture was going to be on 7/7/7, let
the coins come up all heads. And they did. I then flipped one
more asking if this one also came up heads I would share the experience
with FiveDoves. Which it did. So I did.
Another member of the Doves shortly afterward decided
to duplicate the same experiment for himself, asking the same question
of God, and also flipping three coins in the air at the same time.
And they also all came up heads. Which he then shared with me.
Goosebumps!
I will let this other FiveDoves member reveal his identity
on his own, if he feels so led.
I did not feel the leading to pass this additional information
on till now. The Lord's timing is everything.
If you take all seven coin tosses, including the coin
toss to share, and calculate the odds that all seven would end up heads,
the odds are 1 in 2 raised to the 7th power or 1 chance in 128. Put
another way, there was less than 1% chance that this outcome would have
occurred upon asking God this providential question, much like drawing
lots, by pure statistics. How would you like to undergo an operation
after being told you had less than a 1% chance of surviving?
So less than a 1% chance should get your attention.
It did mine.
BTW - Right after Henri De Beer had put forth that the
rapture would not be exactly on 7/7/7 but the dead in Christ would rise
and the Christians would get their glorified bodies on 7/7/7 with the rapture
10 days later on 7/17/7, I asked God that if this scenario was true, let
the three coins I was now throwing into the air come up all heads.
Guess what. They all came up tails. So not only a little no,
but a resounding no!
I should put a disclaimer because I realize that just
because there was less than 1% chance that the coins would have come up
this predicted way on their own, does not mean that this predicts the date
of the Rapture.
