I am not one to be very good at biblical numbers,,,but have read with much interest those letters which show the marvelous way in which numbers are used by the Holy Spirit,,,,such as the number of the Psalms, being the number of years…so intriguing….but it did occur to me that if this Passover season of 2007, be the year of His coming,,,perhaps the messages to the Laodicean and Philadelphia churches might show by their numerical chapter and verse arrangement, something about this Passover season?

Because in chapter 3 (March),,,the Philadelphian church is told “behold I come quickly….hold that FAST which thou hast,,,that no man take thy crown”….just look at the ways that “man” is trying to take our crown of loving His appearing…..with this news of the Jesus tomb, and many other ways, increasingly so lately. So, looking at the verse number: 11…..could refer to an early warning on (March 11), for us to hold fast to our faith….

To the Laodiceans He stoutly rebukes their worldliness, and then in verse 19 (March 19^th?) to be “zealous” and repent……(the time draws near,,,so they better be very very zealous, and quickly…) Now, in verse 20 (March 20?) He says “behold I STAND AT THE DOOR”…..March 20 this year is Nisan 1…interesting that this Nisan 1, is the day when Moses’ tabernacle was all finished, and the tabernacle was “reared up” on Nisan 1, and God’s glory settled over it with a cloud…..

Rev 3:10	Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11	Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
12	Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
13	He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
14	And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15	I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16	So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17	Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18	I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19	As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20	Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (March 20 is Nisan 1)
21	To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22	He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Rev 4:1	After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. (April 1^st is the eve before Passover)
2	And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. (April 2 is Passover)
