I am seeing so many confirmations from many places, and they are on a more frequent basis. Witness today's posts:andThese two are almost identical, and I doubt that Bjorn and Friedrich discussed this beforehand. I believe the Lord is waking up His watchmen and telling them all similar things. I don't recall Five Doves ever having so many posts about the same date, especially from first time posters. Maybe I am mistaken, but it appears that this time, in regard to November 8, 2006, more are being told similar things than ever before. The numbers and frenquencies of these clues are like labor pains.The following post bears witness to a letter I wrote several friends yesterday after reading the post by Ed P about October 31. I cannot find this post now, as there seems to be some confusion about the dates of posts, and as I write this there are two days dated Oct 23. And today, Oct 26 posts, are dated Oct. 25. Hmmm....Both make mention of the two different days of Noah entering the ark on the tenth day of the second month, then again on the seventeenth day of the second month. By the way, in English gematria, the spelling of ARK = 111,( A= 1, R= 90, K= 20) which is either the date 1/11 as the Europeans write it, or 11/1 as we Americans write it. "Just another coincidence", I suppose the scoffers would say, especially the scoffers who say there is no such thing as English gematria.I have believed for some time that a huge earthquake will open the graves of the dead in Christ, and the fine book Earthquake Resurrection by David Lowe also suggests this. See the following link:In 1 Thess. 4: 16-17, I pointed out before the three colons, which seem to be setting apart these phrases for a reason, see link:There is a colon separating the two phrases about the dead rising and we who are alive joining them:"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God : and the dead in Christ shall rise first : Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air : and so shall we ever be with the Lord."This would indicate to me a pause, a space of time, a separate event, between the dead rising and the living joining them in the air. This would also parallel the previous time when the dead were resurrected when the earthquake opened their graves as described in Matt 27:51-53:
"And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many."
I believe these resurrected saints accompanied Jesus when He ascended on high, though the Bible does not say this specifically. However we are told it is appointed unto man once to die, Heb.9:27, and these had already died once. We are also told that Jesus ascended in the clouds, that he led forth the captives, in Psalms 68: 18:
"Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them."
Heb. 12:1 describes a great cloud of witnesses who could very well be these resurrected saints on high:
"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us"
I believe that just like Noah was told seven days in advance that the waters would begin, we will also be told seven days in advance that we will be rising above the world when it is flooded with the judgements to come. It is not too hard of a stretch to imagine then that the resurrected saints, the dead in Christ, will be raised for some period of time to be seen by many before we shall join them in the air. Perhaps the dead in Christ will be resurrected by a great earthquake that occurs at midnight between Oct 31 and Nov 1, the time when the world celebrates the dead and all saints. I would think if we are to see those dead in Christ, our departed loved ones, for a week while they witness, that would certainly be a sign that we will be soon joining them in the air. Now none of what I am saying is anything the Lord told me as in "Thus sayeth the Lord", and I am only saying "Perhaps", but there are abundant clues that point to the time of Noah entering the ark, and our being caught up in the clouds. I do not know if the risen dead would be seen by everyone, or only by those who have spiritual eyes to see them.I asked the Lord the other day after writing the post mentioned above if we could tell others absolutely that November 8, 2006 will be a day of great significance and they should be watching. I believe I heard Him tell me in my spirit, "Not yet." I asked Him when, and I believe I heard Him tell me, also in my spirit, not an audible voice, "seven days before."If others of you have had similar thoughts on this possibility, please share them.
