This writing is a colaboration from 2 doves, Sue in Florida and Kelly in Dallas----Look at what Sue found! Sue was actually doing research on the months of the year in scripture and was lead to the 12 courses of the military men of David.
Now there were 24,000 men who served for one month total. The total military men served in a year were 288,000 (144,000 x2) * Kelly's note- This is what I believe is represented in the Book of Revelation - the two sets of 144,000 that are mentioned. Also, I believe that the 24 elders with crowns around the throne represent 1 elder for every 1000 men. Watch what we have been working on and see the timeline take shape! The 12 courses are represented in 1 Chronicles 27....Let us light this lamp and begin a wonderful journey!

We will begin at the end of the courses-fascinating how this works....
