In my recent post about the Ark Between Heaven and Earth, I wrote about 1656 and a Bible word, 6407 h, Paltite. It means "Escape or Deliverance". Palti was the spy who went into the promised land from the Tribe of Benjamin.  

It is in 2 Samuel 23:26:
"Helez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh, the Tekoite,"...

The total verse hebrew gematria of this verse is 1656.

The other person mentioned is a Tekoite. a person from Tekoa.

Tekoa means "Trumpet Blast".

I think this is the Trumpet Blast of 1 Thessalonians 4:16. Though another Flood is not coming per se, a Flood of destruction is coming in the form of the Revelation judgments, the reign of the AC, etc.

Like Noah's another mighty escape is also coming. I think these two people in this verse represent theological statements God is making, looking to the past and the future, the future we find ourselves in - our time period where the number 1656, from the past, is still warning us. 1 Peter 4:7, the End of All Things.

The Escape comes at the Trumpet blast.

Jesus is Lord, Who saves us from the wrath to come.
