Miracle? WOE? Both?

You decide!

But,

On the first day

 of the

 Jewish month of LYYAR

 (Now the LORD spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of meeting, on the first [day] of the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying: 2 "Take a census of all the congregation of the children of Israel, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of names, every male individually, 3 "from twenty years old and above--all who [are able to] go to war in Israel. You and Aaron shall number them by their armies. 4 "And with you there shall be a man from every tribe, each one the head of his father's house. 

Numbers 1:1-4 NKJV)

Iranian Army Ground Forces commander Brig.-Gen. Kiumars Heidari said 

Iran’s armed forces 

“are much more powerful than before” 

and that

 “the date has been set”

 for Israel’s destruction,

 according to official news agency Mehr. 

He was speaking in Tehran ahead of Iran’s Army Day.

Iran’s Army Day was on April 18, the same day on which Israel celebrated its 70th Independence Day.

Shortly after or while the General was making his threats to destroy Israel

This happened

Since the "DATE" has come and gone

I guess they couldn't dig out from underneath the sand in time.

But 

 I think this is a clear, present and immediate DANGER for Israel!

If it wasn't,

 and was just another

 rumor of war,

 I don't believe God would have needed to blanket Iran in sand. 

and

 I don't believe it's a coincidence

 that this happened on the First day of the second month, 

but

 a warning for Israel to take a census

 and

 PREPARE FOR WAR!

PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM!

Some days, and things, to be watching for!

May 9th-10th is the 40th day of the Omer,

the day Jesus Ascended into Heaven

and 

May 13th-14th will not only be the 70th 

anniversary of Israel being a Nation

but it will also be the day the US Embassy

is moved to Jerusalem, God willing.

Lets not forget Pentecost

May 19th-20th

Latter Rain

Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the LORD your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you--The former rain, And the latter rain in the first [month]. 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. 25 "So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. 26 You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the LORD your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame. 27 Then you shall know that I [am] in the midst of Israel: I [am] the LORD your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame. 28 "And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. 29 And also on [My] menservants and on [My] maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. 30 "And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD. 32 And it shall come to pass 

[That] whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved. 

For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, 

As the LORD has said, 

Among the remnant whom the LORD calls.  

Joel 2:23-32 NKJV

Twenty-fourth day of the first month (Nisan)

April 9th 

 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar. The message [was] true, but the appointed time [was] long; and he understood the message, and had understanding of the vision. 2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks. 3 I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled. 4 Now on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, that [is], the Tigris, 5 I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a certain man clothed in linen, whose waist [was] girded with gold of Uphaz! 6 His body [was] like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like torches of fire, his arms and feet like burnished bronze in color, and the sound of his words like the voice of a multitude. 7 And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision; but a great terror fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves. 8 Therefore I was left alone when I saw this great vision, and no strength remained in me; for my vigor was turned to frailty in me, and I retained no strength. 9 Yet I heard the sound of his words; and while I heard the sound of his words I was in a deep sleep on my face, with my face to the ground. 10 Suddenly, a hand touched me, which made me tremble on my knees and [on] the palms of my hands. 11 And he said to me, "O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you." While he was speaking this word to me, I stood trembling. 12 Then he said to me, "Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words. 13 "But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia. 14 "Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision [refers] to [many] days yet [to come]." 15 When he had spoken such words to me, I turned my face toward the ground and became speechless. 16 And suddenly, [one] having the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth and spoke, saying to him who stood before me, "My lord, because of the vision my sorrows have overwhelmed me, and I have retained no strength. 17 "For how can this servant of my lord talk with you, my lord? As for me, no strength remains in me now, nor is any breath left in me." 18 Then again, [the one] having the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me. 19 And he said, "O man greatly beloved, fear not! Peace [be] to you; be strong, yes, be strong!" So when he spoke to me I was strengthened, and said, "Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me." 20 Then he said, "Do you know why I have come to you? And now I must return to fight with the prince of Persia; and when I have gone forth, indeed the prince of Greece will come. 

21 "But I will tell you what is noted in the Scripture of Truth. 

(No one upholds me against these, except Michael your prince. 

Daniel 10:1-21 NKJV
