John,Hey...I thought I'd share what popped into my mind when I read your posting today right after I read the following & scripture verse :*****************************************There are good reasons for contemplating that possibility. The key number that broke the Jesus TIME code, 208, is a HUGE clue pointing to a Pentecost rapture; it is the Greek gematria value of the word, 'pnoe', which means WIND or BREATH. It first appears in Acts 2:2 in the Pentecost account when the Holy Spirit came!"And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind ['pnoe'], and it filled all the house where they were sitting." (Acts 2:2)The account of when Elijah was taken up to the Lord when he & Elisha were walking...They saw a fiery chariot & then he was taken up in a wind so powerful it that the people thought that his body was thrown on top of a mountian far off due to the "whirl wind blast".....I find it interesting that this is also a rapture event as well......Thought you might find that interesting...I had just watched Perry Stone today & this is one of the things he talked about & then I came to read "my letters" he he & saw your awesome posting!!.....Neat huh?? Here is what it reads :2 Kings 2
(Verse 1)1And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
(Verses 11-17)
11And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
13He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;
14And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.
15And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
16And they said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest peradventure the Spirit of the LORD hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send.
17And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not. ( cuz the man was raptured right on outta here!! :) )

Thanks, Bre. I am intrigued by the verse numbers: 11-17 combined is 1117 -- Bob's stone number in the Genesis Pyramid!
