"Not your "NORMAL" week!!!"


Doves:

Besides the week starting off 55 (gematria of "bride") weeks from the
record week of tornadoes during Road Map discussions, this week
has particularly interesting characteristics other than that, AS YOU
ALREADY KNOW!!!

John Tng's amazing mathematical calculations which were shared here
several months back point to THIS WEEK!!!

Personally, I have always thought that the week / day of the rapture
would have "some" connection to the number "17" because it was used
twice in the Noah story - once when the rain started and once when the
boat "landed" safely again on Mount Ararat.  And, of course, the number
"17" means "victory".  There MOST DEFINITELY IS a connection with
this week and the number "17":

   The 12/22/03 California Earthquake" The California 6.5 earthquake....
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/recenteqsUS/Quakes/nc40148755.htm
   ....which showed a young man weeping....

   ....for his fiance / future "bride" (one of only 3 people killed).
http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories/s1144.htm
   To me, this was a "sign" of Jesus weeping for His Bride, a "part" of
   whom will NOT be raptured because of lack of care or watchfulness,
   as mentioned in the scriptures.  An example of what "could" have happened
   in America was given just 4 days later when 20,000 + people were killed by a
   similar sized earthquake in Iran.
   to: Sunday, May 23, 2004 (the first day of this week!!!)
   It is 153 days between those dates
   153 = 17th triangle number

Things concerning the number "17" and their "possible" relationship to the rapture
are covered in an old post that I found...BUT PLEASE NOTE what happened
EXACTLY five years ago from this past weekend - May 22, 1999!!!!

   On Saturday, May 22, 1999, a new star, Nova Velorum, appeared in the
   constellation, Argo, the ship This star signifies a large ship full of
   travelers who have come safely into the harbor to rest.  The most obvious
   Biblical reference of this type would be that of Noah and his family (eight
   in all) safe aboard the ark as the waters rise to destroy an evil earthly
   population.  Although God promised not to destroy the world this way again,
   the tribulation will do its share to destroy all that oppose God but this
   time it will be on a much more fiery scale.

   Jesus said:

      "As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the
      Son of Man.  For in the days before the flood, people were eating and
      drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered
      the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the
      flood came and took them all away.  That is how it will be at the
      coming of the Son of Man.  Two men will be in the field; one will be
      taken and the other left.  Two women will be grinding with a hand
      mill; one will be taken and the other left."

      "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord
      will come.  But understand this:  If the owner of the house had known
      at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and
      would not have let his house be broken into.  So you must be ready,
      because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect Him."
      (Matthew 24:37- 44)

      In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the SEVENTEENTH day of
      the second month - on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth,
      and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.  And rain fell on the earth
      forty days and forty nights.  (Genesis 7:11,12)

      The water receded steadily from the earth.  At the end of the hundred
      and fifty days the water had gone down, and on the SEVENTEENTH
      day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of
      Ararat.  (Genesis 8:3,4)

   The number 153 represents the center of the net and those harvested at the
   end of the age as represented by the miraculous catch of 153 large fish in
   John 21.  Jesus Himself in the parable of the net in Matthew 13:47-50 says it
   will be like this at the end of the age:

       "Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into
      the lake and caught all kinds of fish.  When it was full, the fishermen
      pulled it up on the shore.  Then they sat down and collected the good
      fish in baskets, but threw the  bad away.  This is how it will be at the end
      of the age.  The angels will come and separate the wicked from the
      righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be
      weeping and gnashing of teeth."

   James Harrison, the author of "The Pattern and the Prophecy", in his chapter
   titled, "The Fish", describes 153 as "the most fabulous number in the Bible".
   From page 98:

      "All the previous properties mark 153 [the properties that when applying
      the trinity function to any number divisible by 3, that number is reduced
      to (or captured by) 153] as a most phenomenal quantity."

   Also from James Harrison's book, The Pattern and The Prophecy, I learned
   that Jesus rose from the dead on the 17th of the month (Nisan). ALL OF
   THESE "SPEAK" OF DELIVERANCE AND NEW LIFE.

      1.  the flood and Noah's deliverance,
      2.  the Ark's landing,
      3.  Jesus resurrection

Dave Camp reminded me of something posted on fivedoves regarding a 10 day
warning:

   The Lord told Silva Shirry that we'd get a 10-day warning (rather than 7 days),
   representing Noah's 7-day warning, plus the 3 days and nights Jesus was in the grave.

Thinking about this...it would probably be a good time to REMEMBER WHY GOD
JUDGED THE WORLD (in Noah's day) IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!

   Genesis 6
   11 Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight and was full of violence. 12 God
   saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted
   their ways. 13 So God said to Noah, "I am going to put an end to all people, for
   the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy
   both them and the earth.

On the 17th of this month, the state of Massachusetts legalized gay marriage....and
this coming from a nation which God had set apart to be a witness TO OTHER
NATIONS!!!  Inclusively, the 26th is 10 days from the 17th...and non-inclusively, the
27th is 10 days from the 17th!!!

GOD BLESS!!!
