Finally, the Atlantis has launched…you can read my prior posts about this if you would like some backgroundhttp://www.fivedoves.com/letters/sep2006/tonye99.htm

– otherwise I’m going to jump right in:
Shuttle goes up on 5th try. It’s been 5 years since 9-11. I’ve heard so many news stories about “lessons from 9-11”, not that you would expect it from secular, mainstream media, but no mention of humbling ourselves and asking God to “heal our land” which is the true lesson we should have taken as a nation from 9-11. Individuals have taken this lesson, but even of these many have “waned” in vigor and repentance to the Lord. 5 is the number for grace. We have had 5 years of Grace since 9-11. Possibly the sands of Grace are running out of the hour glass (virgins buying oil)…
BTW, I believe in the verses where it says there will be a “weeping and nashing of the teeth” it means that some will weep because they knew and did not (weeping), and others (nashing of the teeth) because they care not, and have fists raised up in their hearts against God.
The number of delays (5) and timing of the Shuttle launch is important. I heard a man from NASA essentially say how great man is and we are on our way to the moon and beyond. I believe Friedrich Wenz has written in about the 555 passenger Airbus that has some rapture tie-ins.
The key tie-in is this, Satan and man are what I call “thumbing their nose” at God. Satan ultimately knows the Rapture is coming soon and he cannot prevent it. So he will create a delusion, but also try and create it through man as well – no different than the tower of Babel in Genesis. Satan and the demons would love to recreate their old society. Yes they love to lead man into a depraved state of debauchery, but also Satan (and man) would love to have a righteousness apart from God – Pride. Pride is the sin Satan wants man to have most. Why? It was the original reason Satan rebelled against God in the first place. Satan says to God “you have no right to rule and you are not love”. Ever since the creation of Adam and Eve he wants us all to do the same and suffer the same fate. Also, there were 6 men who went up in the Shuttle. Six of course is the number of man.
At the Rapture, we will go to be with Jesus in the sky. What is Atlantis doing? It’s man (with Satan’s involvement, his Atlantis tattoo makes him obvious to me) showing I can do this too in my own power (& rebellion). I read an article the other day on NASA soliciting scientists to see who could build a “stairway to heaven”.
I also believe the movie to be released on September 22nd (Rosh Hashanah) called “All the King’s Men” has anti-christ written all over it. The good part of this is, we should be able to lift up our heads because our redemption draws near.
I’m interested in your thoughts!
