“My first hundred days were very
successful. So successful, that I believe my next hundred days will be so
successful that I will be able to complete them in 72 days. And on the 73rd day,
I will rest.”
Dear
Doves,
Like many of you, I was shocked when
I heard “O’s” Speech at the Correspondent’s Dinner earlier this month. I
immediately knew that the president had just blasphemed God by likening his own
work to that of the Father in the book of Genesis. (On the 73rd day I will rest!) I also
knew that these numbers he was using were significant. The number 3 represents the Trinity and the number
7 is completion. So these are
pretty heavy numbers to be throwing around. It could not have been just an
accident. Or was it? Did he even know what he was saying or is he being
manipulated by a power beyond his control or comprehension? But the number
72 was a problem for me. I knew it
had significance, but what was it? Then Joe
Hoyle posted his summary of religious meanings for the number
72, http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/may2009/jhoyle521-2.htm
and everything started to become clear. It is not a well known number to most
Christians or Gentiles except for the fact that many believe this is the number
of hours that Christ was in the grave and it is the conventional number of
disciples sent forth by Jesus in Luke 10.
But 72 is a huge number to fanatical Muslims
and many who practice Eastern Religions that border on Witchcraft like Taoism
and Confucianism. 72 is the number
of warriors who will fight along side the Islamic “Mahdi” or Islamic Messiah.
72 is the number of virgins a
Moslem warrior/martyr receives from Allah upon his death, etc. 72 is a number that is readily understood
by radical Moslems, but completely missed by most of us. Was “O” telegraphing a
message to Moslems around the World? Was he telling them to wait just a little
longer? Was he telling them that his work will be complete, his time fulfilled,
on his 172 day in office? Was he
preparing them for a “call to arms?”
“And on the 73rd day, he will rest.” I don’t
know about you, but this one really gets me. There is the obvious reference to
the Father from Genesis, but there is more. Often, “rest” is a reference to
death! Is it possible that “O” was foretelling his own death either knowingly or
unknowingly? Could this be a reference to Rev. 13, 3-4?
3And I saw one of
his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all
the world wondered after the beast. 4And they
worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the
beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
Is he this beast of revelation? Will
he be killed and then rise? Did he say this knowingly or unknowingly? What kind
of signal was he sending forth and to whom? And one more thing: Did anyone
notice that he appears to be playing with time? (Another Godly thing?) He will
do 100 days in a mere 72.
Personally, I expect
to watch all this unfold from the balcony of Heaven and hope to see you all
there, but I think all of this to be very interesting in light of who many of us
believe “O” to be and the unfolding prophecy all around
us.
Blessings,
