"Elul 23 in
2012: The Returning Dove, Day 28, and The Closing
Ceremonies"
Dear Doves,
A number of interesting things
converge soon on the evening beginning Elul 23 in 2012. Elul 23
is the anniversary of the date the dove, earlier released by
Noah, returned to him on the ark with olive leaf and branch in
its beak. The return of the dove was a great symbol of the sure
promise of hope. One of the titles of the Messiah is The Branch.
A well known symbol of Israel is the olive tree. The dove is a
symbol of the indwelling Spirit of Truth in the current
Dispensation of The Age of Grace, The Age of Pentecost. Genesis
tells us when the dove returned. It was in the evening, the
beginning of the Scriptural Day of Elul 23. The stories
about the dove are important in the days of Noah described in
Genesis. The Master wants us to remember and ponder THE DAYS OF
NOAH.
The Olympic Games ended early on
the date of 8-13, London time just after midnight. The evening
beginning Elul 23 will be the evening of 9-9-2012, the evening
of the closing ceremonies for the Paralympics in London. If you
add 28 days to the date of 8-13 you arrive at 9-9. Danny Boyle,
who directed the opening ceremonies of the O Games, made a movie
called "28 Days" about a virus released to affect the UK,
28 days later. These notable 3 things converge the evening of
9-9. Some believe that 9-9-2012 is a symbolic anniversary of
9-11-2001. Anniversary 11. The Dove Returns, Day 28, and The
Closing Ceremonies. The Returning Dove represents the Spirit of
Truth, the Restrainer. Returning Home? The Olive Leaf and Branch
represent the Olive Tree of Israel (Covenant Land and Covenant
People) and the Messiah is The Branch. Might Elul 23, 9-9, be
momentous for those indwelt and Israel and Messiah? We shall
see. Come quickly Beloved!
With Love and Shalom,
Jean
