If you receive the radio broadcast of "SouthWestRadioChurch" and have a "middle ground perception" of number sequences from the Torah that are presented often by Tom, Alan and the others, you may want to listen to the shows this week. They are available online as well at http://www.swrc.com/ which is really convenient.
When I say that I have a "middle ground perception" of all of this, I mean that I am not polarized either way. On the plus side, there is no doubt of a representation of historical events in the "equal letter skips", on the negative side it seems as if there is a lot of questions and debate about whether or not future events being revealed.
Considering that this technique has recently become far more investigated in the last few decades (computers play a big role), perhaps there is relevance to the fact we are at the end of the Age of Grace. I say that because there is no question that the year 2000 was a change towards something, I wrote about being told the Hebrew word "chodesh" on the evening of the new moon sighting on the 29th of the month before it actually happened, and no one expected it to turn out that way.
Perhaps this area of study is ultimately for Hebrews in the Tribulation, once that time begins, I am convinced that YHVH is going to make it very clear to those who can discern, exactly how many days to the events. I have mixed feelings about whether or not there is information that the redeemed of the Age of Grace can use. My biggest question is when the word "Kabballah" comes up in discussion, all I come up with when I look at this is demonic influences.
To update the basement temperature measurements, I will keep on recording. The movement of heat is by conduction, convection and radiation and all three of these are related to the temperature of a space in a house. Yesterdays note on ventilation is correct, and I agree. The thing that I am not able to reconcile yet is how the basement airspace can hit 80F with no artificial means, when it is 58F outside air temp. The other thing that has to be significant is the variations in basement temperature, the range is from 74 to 80 while the outside air temp is from 58 to 62. Given the ventilation factor and insulation properties of the basement space are not changed during these swings, and that this has not been observed ever in the past (14 years), at the very least I have to conclude that this is most unusual.
