Doves:

This is the ONLY week when we will have a 5/5 this year.  As most of you
already know, May 5, 2000 has been called the "marriage announcement"
date because on that 5/5, it was as if the 5 "visible to the naked eye planets"
were gesturing from inside of Taurus the Bull (the constellation meaning "the
Lord coming in wrath and ruling") to "COME ON UP AND JOIN US!!!"

I have had several things happen this morning (5/2) that seemed worthy of
my sharing with you.  After helping get my invalid father ready for the day, I
noticed the digital clock read 5:55.  When I came back into my apartment,
I thought about reading my Bible but instead went over to my computer.  I
hadn't meant to leave it on all night but, obviously, I had.  I, immediately, saw
someone's IM and thought, "It's no telling when they wrote this....possibly VERY
early this morning or last night."  It was from Doug and he had written WITHIN A
FEW SECONDS OF MY SITTING DOWN.  To me, it was like the Lord was saying,
"I have something to show you!!!"  Doug also sent an Email which included
the following in which Ted Porter had taken the 555 date a step further:

   from:   http://www.endofage.com/posts/2001/tedp928.htm
   3. The alignment of the 5 planets in the constellation Taurus, the bull on
   May 5, 2000, (Friday), (5th day of 5th month - 5 planets = 555) was indeed
   the sign of the Bride Marriage Announcement. This was exactly 80 weeks
   from when the Wye River agreement was signed on October 23, 1998.  This
   date is fixed in celestial time as a pivot date for proof of the 5 virgins going up
   with our bodies being baptized with fire, Jesus (888) meeting us in the air,
   and the two witnesses coming down.

You could say also that something "NEW" began 80 weeks from the Wye River
agreement because "8" means "NEW BEGINNINGS" and "10" means "THE
COMPLETION OF A CYCLE" while "7" (a week) means "SPIRITUAL COMPLETION".
Of course it's been mentioned MANY times that this will be 4 years EXACTLY from
that "555" date...and it's possible relation to that parable from Luke which covers
4 years:

   Luke 13
   6 Then he told this parable: "A man had a fig tree, planted in his
   vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it, but did not find any.
   7 So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, 'For THREE
   YEARS NOW I've been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and
   haven't found any. CUT IT DOWN! Why should it use up the soil?'
   8 " 'Sir,' the man replied, 'leave it alone for ONE MORE YEAR,
   and I'll dig around it and fertilize it.

   4 = Earth, creation: Drawn near [Door]

   Revelation 4 (note the "4" and the "door")
   1 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open
   in heaven.  And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like
   a trumpet said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take
   place after this."

I was going to write a note back to Doug in response to the Email he sent.  Here is
how it started.

   We know that "55" is the gematria of "bride".  We also can, pretty much,
   figure that God HAS BEEN GIVING His "bride" some VERY STRONG signs
   of His coming.  ALL THE SIGNS pointing to "2004", actually seemed to
   "start" last year (see MANY, MANY POSTS AND NOTES FROM FIVEDOVES).
   We also KNOW that God allowed the "911" 'NOTE' to be written TO THE
   WORLD (even) AS A WARNING...NO SUBTLETY IN THIS ("911" IS AN
   EMERGENCY NUMBER)!!!!!!!!!!!

   Why wouldn't, since God IS NOW SPEAKING TO HIS BRIDE (55), He give a
   secret message to HIS BRIDE (55) through numbers????  Now...if He did...
   I VERY SERIOUSLY DOUBT that many of the "bride - the sleepy virgins"
   (Matthew 25) - WILL NOTICE.  Just in case...here is a "possible" number
   that the Lord "COULD" use...and it is also a number representing JUST
   AFTER MIDNIGHT!!!!!!  IT'S THE NUMBER 12:05 (from Revelation) OR 12/5.
   WHY???  BECAUSE THIS NUMBER IS THE RAPTURE!!!!

      Revelation 12
      5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations
      with an iron scepter. And her child was SNATCHED UP TO GOD AND TO
      HIS THRONE.

      Time calculation
      From: Friday, December 5, 2003 (5 "minutes" after the "possible"
      midnight date of 12/1/03)
      http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/jan2004/calvinm112-1.htm
      http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/jan2004/calvinm112-2.htm
      to: Saturday, May 8, 2004 (the last day of the week Sun. 5/2 - Sat. 5/8)
      It is 155 days between those dates
      100 = Election; Children of the promise
      55 = the Hebrew gematria of "bride"

Of course, by these calculations, if you backed up to Thursday, May 6th, you can
see that it would be 153 (meaning "harvest" or "net") days from 12/5 (12:05)!!!

As I pulled away from church this morning, I noticed my trip odometer was on 155.9.
Before that, while in church, I had noticed that the Old Testament reading started
on page 554 and ended on page 555.  It was from Isaiah 52 and 53 (below).  It reads
almost like a "script" from the movie, "The Passion".  Could that movie (coming out
when it did) have been A LAST CHANCE for many to "TAKE HEED" prior to the
Tribulation???  There seems to be A LOT OF SADNESS reading those verses from
Isaiah and picturing scenes from this movie.  For those reading these verses ON THE
OTHER SIDE OF THE RAPTURE (while still here on the Earth)...THERE WILL BE A
LOT MORE SADNESS!!!

GOD BLESS!!!

Calvin

   Isaiah 52
   The Suffering and Glory of the Servant
   13 See, my servant will act wisely;
   he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
   14 Just as there were many who were appalled at him -
   his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man
   and his form marred beyond human likeness-
   15 so will he sprinkle many nations,
   and kings will shut their mouths because of him.
   For what they were not told, they will see,
   and what they have not heard, they will understand.

   Isaiah 53
   1 Who has believed our message
   and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
   2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
   and like a root out of dry ground.
   He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
   nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
   3 He was despised and rejected by men,
   a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.
   Like one from whom men hide their faces
   he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

   4 Surely he took up our infirmities
   and carried our sorrows,
   yet we considered him stricken by God,
   smitten by him, and afflicted.
   5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
   he was crushed for our iniquities;
   the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
   and by his wounds we are healed.
   6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
   each of us has turned to his own way;
   and the LORD has laid on him
   the iniquity of us all.

   7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
   yet he did not open his mouth;
   he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
   and as a sheep before her shearers is silent,
   so he did not open his mouth.
   8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away.
   And who can speak of his descendants?
   For he was cut off from the land of the living;
   for the transgression of my people he was stricken.
   9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
   and with the rich in his death,
   though he had done no violence,
   nor was any deceit in his mouth.

   10 Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
   and though the LORD makes his life a guilt offering,
   he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
   and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.
   11 After the suffering of his soul,
   he will see the light of life and be satisfied;
   by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many,
   and he will bear their iniquities.
   12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,
   and he will divide the spoils with the strong,
   because he poured out his life unto death,
   and was numbered with the transgressors.
   For he bore the sin of many,
   and made intercession for the transgressors.
