Nicole relates what I found to be quite a hilarious story on Five Doves of her recent trip to the hospital.  Her new born had been given a bracelet with not only an RFID chip embedded in it, but with the number of the beast.  Of course she explained to the hospital staff how this number was a bad omen and had to be changed for religious reasons.

 

WOW Its On!  Countdown to the Rapture! My C-Section Experience

Now the world may think us peculiar.

 

For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.  Deuteronomy 14:2

 

Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.  Titus 2:14

 

Here we are looking at numbers in the Bible and signs in the Heavens as described in the Bible.  Onlookers would think we actually believe what Jesus Christ said two two millenia ago.  What did He say?   He told us to watch for signs foretelling His second coming.  And we are!  We are anxiously watching for our soon Bride Theft, the redemption of our bodies. 

 

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.  Luke 21:36

 

And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.  Romans 8:23

 

And to think, just as a bride receives a new last name from her Husband, we too will receive a new name.

 

For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.  And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.  Isaiah 62:1-2

 

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.  Revelation 2:17

 

Although I was thinking my own last name, "porter", already describes the actions of the Bride.  Those who have a servants heart, those who carry the burdens of others.  We who as betrothed to Christ are watching anxiously to be taken away.  The Bride theft is on!

 

For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.  Mark 13:34

 

I love watching!

 

Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:  Mark 13:35

 

Of course, I would consider it a very bad omen if the number of my name equalled the number of the beast.  Fortunately, I've checked and the word "porter" in English common counting, is not the number of the beast.  It also is not a multiple of 13, which would also be a bad omen.  Especially seeing how English has become the universal language, the "babel" of the endtime world-wide Babylon.  And which follows is the language the beast's name would have to be translated into to reveal his number.  My own name of "porter" needs no translation as it has a meaning in English outside of being just a name.  Sort of like having the last name of "shepherd" or "Dances with Wolves".  :)

 

But no matter what your current name, consider Jacob went from being a "leg puller", "heel", and "supplanter" to receiving a new name of Israel or "God contended" or "God rules".

 

Now the book, "The Pattern & the Prophecy - God's Great Code", by James Harrison, is one of my all-time favorite books.  (Well, that and "The Arithmetic of God.")  In this book, Mr. Harrison, although confining himself to Hebrew and Greek, shows that the number of a multitude of names of titles for satan are all multiples of 13, the 6th prime number.  He states emphatically, "Yes, all the names and titles of satan are multiples of 13!".  So I'm busy typing in names and words to see which ones are multiples of 13.

And fortunately "porter" is not.  It happens to be 515.  Which it also fortunately shares with "Jesus".  Fantastic company!  Maybe my new name will also equal 515.  Talk about win-win.  And the Bride Theft will definately be a win-win for the Bride.  Not so much for those left behind.

 

By the way, although as non-superstitious Christians we don't use the word "omens", "portents" or "good lucks" too much, Mr. Harrison also explains in his book how many names for God are multiples of 8.  So I'll often look to see if a name is divisible by 8.

 

But anyway, I'm looking up the number of "Bride Theft" and it happens to be 529.  Now the very unusual property of 529 is that it is the product of a prime number squared.  It is 23 times 23.  Looking up the meaning of 23 in "The Arithmetic of God" I find "Death".

But I don't have just one 23 but two.  So adding 23 and 23 together I get 46.  And looking up it's meaning I find "Second Death".  Well, that's logical.  Death is 23 and second death is twice that at 46.  For those who have studied the Bible we are acquainted with death meaning only the physical body being dead.  Jesus Christ on several occasions corrected people by saying a person was only sleeping as their soul lives on. 

 

He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.  Matthew 9:24

 

I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.  Matthew 22:32

 

The soul lives on after the body is dead.  However, after Judgment Day, when souls are thrown into the lake of fire, there will be the death of the soul, the second death.  But we are promised.

 

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.  Revelation 2:11

 

Those who are overcomers and have part in the first resurrection, either rising from the grave or raptured in the air will be members of the Bride theft and will not be hurt by the second death.  They all, we all, will escape the second death!  What better picture of the meaning of 46!

 

Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.  Revelation 20:6

 

After the 1,000 years are up and satan is loosed from the bottomless pit to deceive the world for a prophetic week, comes judgment day.  Those judged who will not accept the free gift of God of eternal life through Jesus Christ His Son, the only way to be blameless before God, will not only have had their physical body destroyed in death, but now will have their soul destroyed as well in the second death.

 

And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.  Revelation 20:14

 

Renee Moses has a website and published many videos dedicated to an October 7/8, 2012 Rapture of the Bride.

 

http://jesusiscoming2015.webs.com/whenistherapture.htm

She shows that this date is exactly 46 prophetic years (360 day years) to the day since the command to restore Jerusalem to Israel on June 7, 1967.   This is linked back the body of Christ, the temple of God, taking 46 years to build.

 

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?  If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.  I Corinthians 3:16-17

 

Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?  John 2:20

 

What an analogy!  And the dedication to this date is commendable.  Renee Moses speaks of how many years it has taken for her to finally get to this point and to this date.  But then many others have been dedicated to other dates as well which have passed into the annuls of time.   What independent sign can we find to give us assurance that Renee Moses is any different?  Don't we need another witness?

 

This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.  II Corinthians 13:1

 

Let me ask, what a better independent witness of her own words is there other than her own name?  And the number of her name is 460 or 46 times 10.  That's 46, ten fold.  Her own name bears witness to the date.  

 

Looking Up!

 

Shalom!
