Dear Doves,  I have regularly viewed the fivedove posts for about a year now
and have enjoyed reading many of them.  I have something I would like to
share with you concerning the possible meaning of the number 444 that
everyone seems to be seeing lately.  I too have been woken up unexpectedly
at 4:44 a.m. and have sought the Lord for its meaning.  Tuesday the Lord led
me to Matthew 24:44 - "Therefore you also be READY, for the Son of Man is
coming at an hour YOU DO NOT EXPECT."  I shared this scripture with my bible
study Tuesday night and we all felt that the Lord was trying to tell us to
GET READY!!!  Wednesday afternoon, a lady who attends the study e-mailed me
stating that a RonL on a bravenet website had received the same confirmation
as to the meaning of the 444's.  I also want to comment about the numbers
254 and 256 which many individuals including myself have seen over the past
few months -- about two weeks ago, my son Matthew told me his new locker
number at school was 2560 -- this surprised me because I had just read a web
posting concerning the number 256.  I sought the Lord for its meaning and he
reminded me about MATTHEW'S new locker number so I looked up MATTHEW 25:6
which states "and at MIDNIGHT a cry was heard: "Behold the bridegroom is
coming;" go out to meet him."  In addition to the Matthew 24:44, I read this
scripture to the bible study on Tuesday and a women commented that MIDNIGHT
is 24:00 hours on the clock (referring that this could be the 24:00 added to
the 4:44 = Matthew 24:44).  I also want to state that for years the Lord has
shown me 254's which turned out to reference Matthew 25:4.  This scripture
states that the WISE virgins were READY for their BRIDEGROOM to return and
had enough oil in their lamps.  Yesterday I read an article on the Rapture
Ready site entitled "Future Employees of Rapture Ready" in which the author
states that on Page 254 of Richard Dawkins book "The God Delusion" he
mentions the Rapture Ready web site.  This morning the Lord showed me the
number (254) two more times and I felt I should let the people on fivedoves
know that the Lord wants us all to be WISE AND "RAPTURE READY" BECAUSE OUR
BRIDEGROOM IS COMING VERY, VERY SOON!!!
P.S. My son Daniel had a dream in May, 2006 (when he was seven years old)
concerning the Rapture.  In the dream, he saw my husband on his way out of
the house TO TAKE CARE OF THE SWIMMING POOL when the sky opened and the
rapture took place. (He even saw the Angel Gabriel blowing the Shofar!)
Later, I read Shelly Corbitt's dream about her family being in the SWIMMING
POOL the day before the rapture and felt the similarity to be very
interesting.  We don't live in the South like Shelly but my husband plans to
keep the pool open this year a couple more weeks.  What else is very
interesting about my son's dream is that he had it the night I prayed and
asked the Lord to give him a Rapture dream to convince my husband I wasn't
crazy saying that Jesus was coming back very soon!!!  A few days ago my once
skeptical husband told me he ordered some new checks with the words "Jesus
is coming soon, are YOU ready" printed on them. "..BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO ARE
