"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.
