I've been looking out since August last year for a match or confirmation about the above date since Prophet TB Joshua of Lagos Nigeria suddenly declared 2013 as the year of "the end of the rope" in one of his SCOAN services around August last year. ( you can go to youtube and watch "TB Joshua - 2013, year of the end of the rope",where that particular part is only about 4 to 5mins long )

In that service, he also prophesied specifically that " March 17" as its beginning, at a later stage of the prophecy ( possibly meaning the beginning of the"end of the rope" ) after at first mentioning  "February" earlier without any specific date. So far, all of his prophecies has been proven to be 100% accurate and so I was very curious about March 17 but the nearest thing I got to match this is only from the new Pope Francis's installation where only the "February" part matches with the sudden resignation announcement of Pope Benedict in February but the specific March 17 was off by a few days either way with the new Pope's declaration on March 13th and his installation on March 19th, which wasn't very satisfying..

Today, after reading your "March 17" word from the Lord, I'm greatly excited again as I somehow think that this has to do with " as in the days of Noah" ( which may still be connected with the Pope somehow ) and this time, if it is indeed referring to Noah's timelines, as well, especially with the trials and testings mentioned in both the words given to you, then, a specific timeline may be applicable to see the finishing of these testings and preparation times for His Bride in this year!

The specific part for this to fit would have to be  Genesis 7 : 17-24 and Genesis 8 : 1-3 where all the "trials" prevailed for a total of exactly 150 days until the "17th day of the 7th month". ( It began on the 17th day of the 2nd month in Noah's actual  times but maybe on 17th March 2013 in our current time of "Noah's days"? as specifically mentioned by Prophet TB Joshua as being the beginning of the time of the "end of the rope" and your "crucible of time" )

If so, then we are indeed on the threshold of the Rapture events and the end of the 150th day from March 17 will fall on 14th / 15th August!! ( the Genesis accounts of Noah's time continues for quite a few more months after the 150th day to finish the whole saga, so, if its going to match it all the way of maybe some of the way, then, we may indeed see and experience some really supernatural events from 14th / 15th August onwards until those who" remain" and those who were raised from the dead are caught up TOGETHER to meet the Lord in the air!!! )

For the further information of those who may be reading this and who may know Choo Thomas, 11th August, today, is about the 120th day since the homegoing of Choo Thomas ( around April 13th of this year ) who was greatly used by the Lord to prepare the world for His coming since 2003 and this may be of some significance to the Lord too...
