My reply > > God shut the door of the ark on the 2nd month, 17th day. The ark rested on Ararat on the 7th month, 17th day. The dove returned to the window of the ark, with the olive leaf, on the 11th month, 17th day.

> > The Red Sea Crossing was on the 1st month, 17th day. Jesus came out of the grave on the 1st month, 17th day. The 7th month, 17th day on the Sacred Calendar is the 1st month, 17th day on the Civil Calendar.

I think the dove returned on Av 19, and Jesus was resurrected on the 16th, but the other 17s are very interesting. Gen 7:11 says, "In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month (Cheshvan 17), the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN WERE OPENED."

It could have just said that it began to rain, but it said that "the windows of HEAVEN were opened." Is that a hint that the Rapture could take place on Cheshvan 17? There is a good chance.

In Mt. 24:37-40, Jesus said, "But as the days of Noe were (i.e., at the Flood when Noah was 600, or when he died in 2006 AH), 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. Then shall two be in the field (i.e., the field is the world); the one shall be taken, and the other left."

Noah was 600 at the Flood, and we are in a year that ends in 006. The days of Noah's life were 600 before the Flood and 350 after the Flood, ending in 2006 AH. That sure seems to be pointing to 2006 AD, and someone figured out that there are 40 360-day years from June 7, 1967, when the Temple area was taken by Israel, to Cheshvan 17 (Nov. 8, 2006).

Gen 8:4 says, "And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month (Tishri 17), upon the mountains of Ararat. The word Ararat means holy ground. That fits Heaven. Think about Eph. 9:6. It says, "And hath raised us up together and made us sit together in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus."

> > And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts. Malachi 4:3 (Could this be the 2nd day of the Lord-Rapture?

Yes. The Day of the Lord is both the Day of God's Wrath and the day of the 2nd Rapture. The Second Advent will still be 7 months in the future though (Eze 39:12,13.

> > Who were these three visitors. It says Men. Was it God, Jesus the Son of God, and Jesus the son of man? Or God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit? We know that one of them was the Lord. Jesus is the Holy Spirit. They all three ate food. Jesus ate food after the Resurrection, in His glorified body.

It was the Son of God, the Yahweh of hosts, the king of Israel (Isa 44:6), and two angels. Gen. 18:20-22 says,"And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know. And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD."

> > Solomon's Temple was started in the 2nd month and finished in the 8th month. In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid (Jesus is our rock), in the month Zif: which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD. (We are the temple of God. And Jesus ascended in the 2nd month, to go and prepare a place for us, in heaven.) And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it. 1 Kings 6:8,36-38

This could be very important. As you know, we are the temple of the Holy Spirit, and the month Bul is another name for Cheshvan. If the Church (Bride of Christ) is completed in Cheshvan, the 17th (Nov. 8) seems likely. A variety of fig tree is laden with fruit in Cheshvan. Also, Cheshvan 17 would be as in the days of Noah. Water is a symbol of the Spirit of God. If Christ came down on that day, it would be as the deluge in Noah's day.

> > Could the Resurrection and the Second Coming be in His Season, but the Rapture in the Fall? The last of the fig harvest is late summer and fall. Olive harvest is October and November, fall.

It could be. Song of Solomon 2:10f suggests spring, so it is hard to be sure. World events make the Rapture seem very close. If it happens sometime between now and the time of firstripe grapes, it will still be before the 40 years since the Six-Day War are up (5728 + 40 = 5768, which starts Sept. 13, 2007). However, someone said that counting 40 360-day years (14,400 days) from June 7, 1967, when Israel took the Temple Mount, is Nov. 8, 2006. I hope Nov. 8 will be the Rapture.

> > It is he that buildeth his stories (3 levels) in the heaven

That reminds me of the 3 heavens, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. In II Cor. 12:2, Paul was CAUGHT UP (harpazo, as in I Thess. 4:13-18) to the third heaven.
