"With Thanks to Steve Berryman and Bob Ware: Days 3 and 4"


 
Dear John, Steve, Bob, and all Doves,
      When we look to a week in the Scriptures we see a 7 day cycle starting with sundown as we go from Saturday to Sunday. When we look ahead to 9-8-2007 we see that 9-11 is day 3. We are promised in the Scriptures that we will be revived on the third day. Does that mean the beginning of a third thousand year period since the Christ/Messiah lived on earth? It can mean that. It can also mean the third day of the week. That would be 9-11-2007 in that week.
      What about the day 4? In the book of Revelation John sees our Master standing in the midst of a menorah. This is a seven pronged candle. The center position is at number 4. Can that also imply day 4? That day will start in Israel at sundown on 9-11-2007. That is the start of day 4 of the week there. Depending on our time zones, we in U.S.A. are 7-10 hours behind them on the continent. Are the day counts the same if we go forward one or two days? No. Sometimes the design of a menorah has the number 4 of 7 lamps raised above the others. That one, the number 4, is called the servant lamp. It is a symbol of the Messiah. Thank you Steve and Bob for helping me put these numbers into contexts that may prove quite significant in the days ahead. Your postings have blessed me. May we prepare, pray, and watch together in spirit in these latter days.

With Love and Shalom,
Jean Stepnoski
