Dear John and all Doves,
      There is a tendency to see 444 as 4:44 as time on a clock. A number of us have seen this on clocks. Here is a more simple and perhaps important interpretation. In His story about the delayed bridegroom and groomsmen coming for the bride and 5 of her 10 bridesmaids, we are told an invaluable detail. They come later than expected at midnight. Midnight is either 12 or 444. For a twenty four hour naval clock it is 444444. Why would we be told about the midnight hour for Israel if that time will not prove very important on some midnight there in space and in time. Where will I be on Friday, or Saturday, when it is 444 or midnight in Israel? It will be either 4 or five in the afternoon for me in Wisconsin, U.S.A., depending on whether daylight savings time does or does not apply. I wonder...Thank you John Tng, our dear eternal brother and friend. Thank you all Doves. May we lift up our heads and look up. Does our redemption draw near? The door is open, the door will close.

With Love and Shalom,
Jean Stepnoski
