Dear Doves,
At around midnight on Dec 23, 1993, Vincent Tan had an encounter
with an unnamed angel who left him $2.34, a mysterious clue to the
rapture. The story was first reported by Jim Bramlett around the
time when I started surfing the Internet in the mid nineties. I
got to know Jim because of his angel reports; you can read more
about them here at this link: http://www.choicesforliving.com/spirit/part3/angels.htm
I believe the angel is none other than the Archangel Gabriel since
nine months earlier Vincent had his first encounter in which the
angel identified himself as Gabriel. It behooves us watchers to
take the number 234 seriously and ponder its link to the rapture
if indeed the personage is a renown messenger of God, known to
have announced the coming of the LORD in his four appearances
recorded in the Bible (Dan 8, 9 and Luke 1).
The numeric clue is cryptic and has racked many a brain. I cannot
lay claim to the riddle's final cracking, but I think you will
find my solution intriguing. In any case, in a few days' time, we
will know whether the riddle has been solved. If the rapture
finally happens, then I hope many people will realize that God has
given the world advanced warning and that the rapture is a
Biblical truth; and I pray also that they will not be deceived by
the Antichrist.
It appears that Gabriel is very much into Bible chapter counting
much as I do! Let me explain. In the Old Testament, Gabriel only
appears in the Book of Daniel chapter 8 and 9 -- the latter is
chapter 859 counting from Genesis chapter 1.
CHAPTER 859 TURNS OUT TO BE A HUGE CLUE POINTING TO THE RAPTURE
DATE!
Let us see how Gabriel subtly brought in the number 859 during his
encounter with Vincent. While waiting for the truck to be charged,
Gabriel read six rapture-related scriptures to Vincent -- Mat
24:36, 42, John 14:1,2,3, and Rev 3:11. Out of curiosity I added
the chapter and verse numbers and obtained a sum of 5615 (2436 +
2442 + 141 + 142 + 143 + 311). The sum 5615 looks like an
ordinary number except that when treated as a Bible chapter
number, it is chapter 859 (5615 = 1189x4 + 859)!
So the choice of the six scriptures is calculated. Gabriel, the
angel who delivered the 70 Weeks Prophecy to Daniel in chapter 859
(Daniel chapter 9), seems to be directing our attention to the
same chapter for some reason. Could it be that, the number 859 and
the time marker number 234, both came through Gabriel, point us to
the rapture date?
Chapter 859 is a remarkable prophetic chapter full of numeric
clues. Indeed, it records one of the greatest prophetic passages
in the Bible, containing prophecies of the first and second
comings of Christ; hence, to find the rapture date hidden here
should not surprise us.
The Number 234 & the Year 2012
Let me dwell a little first on the number 234 before linking it to
859. We have seen in Part 2 (link
here) the curious property of the time marker number 234 in
linking the same Gregorian year in three different year counts
using Bible chapters; for example for year 2012:
ch 590 (Ps 112:
year
2012)
ch 823 (year
2012)
ch 1056 (year 2012)
<----------- 234 chapters
----------->
<--------- 234 chapters --------->
Furthermore, the number 234 appears to be pointing to 2012 as a
very SPECIAL YEAR matching its Hebrew equivalent year 5772. For
many years I was aware that chapter 234 is chapter 2 of the Book
of Ruth. With all the information that is coming out now on Tu
B'Av (Aug 2/3, 2012), isn't it astounding to know that the END OF
THE WHEAT HARVEST recorded in the last verse of chapter 234 is TU
B'AV?
Everything seems to fit in terms of feast and prophetic types in
this beautiful love story between Boaz and Ruth.
Let me give you another confirmation from the LORD concerning the
number 234 and the current year. If we begin counting Bible
chapters starting from Ruth chapter 2 (chapter 234), the curious
property of 234 as a time marker number can once again be observed
as follows in addition to the above illustration:
ch
234
ch 1056 (year 2012)
<----------------------------- 2012 chapters
---------------------------->
While the above for year 2012 is not unique, that is, it works
also for other years from 2003 to 2145, however, the link below is
SOMETHING ELSE ALTOGETHER:
ch
234
ch 1121 (year 2012)
<--------------------------- 888
chapters ------------------------->
There are precisely 888 chapters between chapter 234 and chapter
1121 (my birth month-day number pointing to year 2012). The Greek
gematria value of JESUS is 888!
Of the years between 2003 and 2145, a window of years calved out
by making chapter 234 the starting chapter, JESUS points to ONLY
ONE YEAR -- our current year!
Gabriel's Numbers: 234 & 859
In the Old Testament, the mention of Ruth is confined solely to
the Book of Ruth. At the end of chapter 234 (Ruth chapter 2), the
name Ruth is mentioned for the 8th time, pointing to the month of
August. The Book of Ruth is also the 8th book of the Bible.
Chapter 2 could well point to the 2nd day of August, the start of
Tu B'Av 6pm sundown.
But get this right. Adding the chapter and verse numbers of the
first eight occurrences of 'Ruth' ending in chapter 234 yields a
very interesting sum: 14+114+116+122+22+28+221+222 = 859,
Gabriel's number!!!
Just think for a moment. What are the chances that the number 859
pops out where 234 is found? We saw that in Vincent's encounter;
now we are seeing it in Ruth chapter 2, the chapter that intimates
a Tu B'Av rapture.
But you may not be prepared for what I am about to write. Recall
the statement I shouted:
CHAPTER 859 TURNS OUT TO BE A HUGE CLUE POINTING TO THE RAPTURE
DATE!
The Prophecy of 70 Weeks recorded in Daniel chapter 9, that is
chapter 859, is perhaps the most well-known and controversial
prophecy in the Bible. With all due respect to all past Bible
scholars, including the brilliant genius Isaac Newton, who
attempted to crack the riddle hidden in the prophecy by examining
the scriptures hermeneutically, my method is poles apart and based
totally on Bible numerics.
First, notice this 'coincidence': Just before Gabriel laid out the
riddle in Dan 9:24, he said to Daniel in verse 23, "At the
beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I
am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore
understand the matter, and consider the vision."
THIS IS VERSE 22012 OF THE BIBLE!
The year 2012 stares out at us. Maybe you want to shrug it off as
a random occurrence, but what if there is another unlikely
coincidence acting as a double witness?
Try this piece of unearthly arithmetic: Divide 2012 by the angelic
token 2.34; the results is 859.83 rounded to two decimal
digits!
Isolate Gabriel's numbers, 234 & 859, and the rapture date is
revealed by the remaining numbers in the division: 2012-8-3, or
the 3rd of August, 2012!
TO TOP IT ALL, CHAPTER 859.83 IS PRECISELY VERSE 22012!
There are 27 verses in Daniel chapter 9; 0.83 of 27 verses is 23
verses; Dan 9:23 is verse 22012.
The TORAH Witness
The Jews read through the Torah, the first five books of the
Bible, during the sabbaths in a yearly cycle for the past two
millennia since the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D. Few weeks
ago I was curious as to which Torah passage is read the sabbath
before Tu B'Av this year, which incidentally has just past three
days ago; the passage that was read on what is known as the
Shabbat Chazon, or Sabbath of Vision, is Deuteronomy 1:1 - 3:22.
You can already see a couple of neon signs flashing: 1) Shabbat
Chazon this year fell on Tisha B'Av. 2) Gabriel exhorted Daniel to
consider the VISION in verse 22012.
But what have all these to do with the rapture date on Tu B'Av?
Only two very simple yet direct connections.
First, Deuteronomy chapter 1 is chapter 154 of the Bible. Years
ago Clay Cantrell pointed out these links: The clock time, 2:34,
is minute 154; and the Greek gematria value of GABRIEL is 154! So
Gabriel is turning our attention to Deuteronomy chapter 1, a
chapter that describes the lifting of the curse of the 15,000
deaths which happened every Tisha B'Av during the Wilderness
Wandering. The curse stopped on the last Tisha B'Av and the people
only realized it one week later on Tu B'Av.
But the kicker is this. Deuteronomy chapter 1 is chapter 2012 of
the Old Testament!
ch 154 = ch 2012 = 2 x 929 + 154
If the Torah reading proves to be prophetic, we are in a very
small window of time within this week for prophecy to be
fulfilled.
Let us hope for the best!
