Readers -

my contention has been for over 2 years that we are on a seven year
countdown to the Rapture event, from a start date of 12/05/97, day 339
non leap year until day 291 of 2004.

everyone knows that God counts by sevens if you read almost any of your
Bible.

i posted last year that partly due to scripture reference alignments
between Daniel 4:16 and the major resurrection/rapture Thessalonians
4:16, a seven year period seemed a fair consideration.

Jacob (Old Testament) and Anna (New Testament) have something in
common. 2 things.

they both work (so to speak) for something/someone for seven years.

Anna (Luke 2:36-37) is married for seven years before becoming a widow.

Jacob sees Rachel at a well, falls in love and works for her for seven
years, for Laban.

the other thing they have in common is 'Peniel'  or' Phanuel'.

Anna's father is named Phanuel, the hebrew word being Peniel. it means
"Face of God".

Peniel is the place Jacob wrestles with the angel of God all night,
prevailed, had his thigh
put out of socket at the hip, and and his name was changed to "Israel".
Jacob (Israel) named the place Peniel.

at the end of seven years worth of work, i am hoping to meet God
face-to-face.
