I really liked the part where Shanthini states:
 
Mum came out and pointed out that if the Lord could not tell His Apostles the time of His Second Coming, and even Paul was not sure, how did I expect Him to spell it out to me? No wonder for the first time the dreams were in riddle!!!
 
We all are in the same boat, (ark I hope).  We are all watching for the most exciting and anticipitated event in the last 2000 years and we have not been told when it is.  Just to watch.
 
I also can sympathize with:
 
I guess I should have asked the Lord for interpretation instead of working out myself. 
 
The problem is the Lord may only give us the vision or dream.  I had a similar experience with being given a vision in May 2000 when I was awake, standing upright, and it flashed before my eyes.  The background was a crimson deep red almost velvet and suspended away from the background were snakes fashioned out of gold that were fat for their length, (not very long).  (We have water moccasins around where we live and they can look like a black snake but they are considerably fatter than ordinary black snakes so you can tell them apart.)  The scales, head and eyes details were carved into the gold with these places being darker.  The snakes formed the word, SOLOMON.  However each of the O's were in the shape of a 6. 
 
I pondered what it meant enough to figure out, although I was very slow, the Hebrew number meaning of the word Solomon.  I found out that it was 375.  I had noticed that the word Solomon is made up of the word Peace, (Shalom), plus an h.  The unusual thing is that adding an h usually represented the adding of the Holy Spirit such as when an Abram became Abraham and Sarai became Sarah.  However, in regard to Solomon is the only other mention of the number 666 beside Revelation and the number of the beast.  So it stands to reason, while the beast will take power using deceipt and portraying himself as a person of peace, there is only ONE Prince of Peace, that is, Jesus Christ.  And the World will receive this imposter when they rejected Jesus Christ.
 
So that caused me to figure out what Shalom meant.  And because of the way the Hebrew numbering system works with ending letters, by taking off the h from Solomon, the number meaning increased to 930.  Less is more!  So the beast, the son of solomon (375) if you will, will take peace, (930) from the earth.  I naturally ended up subtracting 930 from 375 and got 555.  No here was another unusual number.  We had just had an unusual planetary alignment of 5 planets on 5/5 of 2000.  And the number of the word "Bride" also works out to 55.  So the only thing I could figure out after several years was that maybe this was  pointing to 5/5/2005 or possibly 10/5/2005, (seeing as 10/5/2005 could be considered Rosh Hashana).  So in 2004 I published a book with these findings along with others, most notable looking forward to the actual return of Jesus Christ to end the great tribulation, possibly on September 23, 2015.  I acknowledged that these were my own interpretations and whether or not these dates came and go we needed to continue to watch.
 
Fastforward to 2007.  It has now been the very prophetically significant 40 years that the Jews have wandered in the wilderness after surrounding the temple mount in Jerusalem on 6/7/67, and then deciding that the giants of this world, mainly the USSR as protector, were too big to allow them to take over the temple mount. 
 
Remember what Jesus said about that evil and adulterous generation: 
 
But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:  Matthew 12:39
 
Are we so lucky as to get a sign?  We are to watch, but for what?  We are told not that we will get the sign of Jonah, but of Noah:
 
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.  For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,  And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.  Matthew 24:37-39
 
While the previous two verses speak of the end of the earth and the universe followed by that no man knows when this will be, the next verse is now talking about the coming of the Son of man.  This was Jesus Christ's earthly title He called himself more often than any other title.  Sandwiched in between these two verses of the coming of the Son of man is the sign of Noah that we are given.  That they will be eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage.
 
I'm sure many people have asked, including myself, "What kind of cryptic sign is that?"  How does this describe anything different than has happened the last 2000 years?  But consider as early as February, maybe sooner, that the news media was bringing to our attention the overflow of weddings being planned for 7/7/7.  Of course if 7/7/7 hadn't fallen on a Saturday then from a practical standpoint there would not have been the same rush.  Wow - what a fulfillment of the sign of Noah.  Who would have thought.
 
Seven, Seven, Seven.  A trinity of Sevens.  Seven stands for Completion.  It is finished, (on the Cross).  While I had been pondering Five, Five, Five, (Five standing for Grace), we were now approaching the date 7/7/7.  And while the numerical representation of the word "Jesus" in Greek is 888, the numerical representation of "Cross" is 777, (it is indeed finished.)
 
Yet I also wonder if the separation of the wise from the foolish virgins will be because too many virgins (Christians) have not taken up their cross, denied themselves and followed Jesus.  Does the sign of Noah which includes "eating and drinking" represent the opposite of "fasting and praying"?
 
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.  Matthew 16:24
 
And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.  Mark 8:34
 
And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.  For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.  Luke 9:23-24
 
Taking up one's cross is not a popular message with the current churches.  Too much hard work.  Too much fasting and praying and seeking God's will.
 
Back to the vision I was given in May of 2000, but left to me to try to determine its interpretation.  What other numbers did we have?  Well looking at Solomon and 666 led me to Peace and 555.  But being one more than 666 such as 777 would be better than one less.  777 beats 666 and Solomon, by the Cross.  And what if we concentrate now on the two good numbers, 777, which represents "Cross" in Greek, and the previous number 930 which represents "Peace" in Hebrew.  The difference is amazingly the number 153, which I have come to realize is the most amazing number in the Universe.  James Harrison in "The Pattern & the Prophecy" states while 888 represents Jesus' earthly number, 153 represents Jesus' Heavenly number.  While I have posted various things from James Harrison's book concerning 153, to state it quickly, 153 is a triangle (3) number, (all the number from 1 to 17 added together equal 153, (17 stands for Victory - Victory over Death, Hell, and the Grave), a super triangle (3) number, (all the numbers from 1 factorial (1!) to 5 factorial equal 153), and most important, when the trinity (3) function, (defined as taking all the component digits of a number such as 1, 5, and 3 of 153, and taking each digit to the third (3) power and then summing the result), is applied to every third (3) number in the Universe, the result sooner or later after repeated application, will end up at 153. 
 
So this could be the correct interpretation to lead me to the date of 7/7/7 instead of 5/5/5.  Time will surely tell.  I am sure there are more interpretations also hidden such as the significance of the golden snakes and the red crimson color.  I'm sure the beast could be Solomon incarnate or just a descendant of Solomon, but either way most likely rivaling the wisdom of Solomon.
 
 
This is what the Lord has laid upon my heart to write today.
 
Shalom!
