Readers - On December 5th, 1997, I woke up about 7:00 am with a vision stamped into my brain. Thus began a special visitation from the Lord that lasted about eight days, but the effects lingered for months. You can read the basic details of the account, the dreams and visions etc at this link: http://www.fivedoves.com/numberer/clay810.htm I compiled a list of all of the (13) in-text gematria values of the Greek word Harpazo Strong's 726g, which means to "violently catch up or away". Most Christians know the from 1 Thessalonians 4:17 which states that those (saints) who are alive and remain shall be "caught up" to meet The Lord in the air. Here is the list: 919 204 254 204 397 254 394 393 541 200 518 814 406 I began to add, and got two shocks back to back. Total of first two values = 1123. 1123 = 11.23 = day Alexander Litveninko died of Polonium 210 poisoning in 2006. I've written about Polonium, Element 84, many times as a prophetic marker. The Lord showed me it's prophetic value in early October 2004, and I began to watch for something, anything, to occur in the news media about it that would fulfill the Lord's word. The Litveninko event was the fulfillment. 1123. Total of first (3) values = 1377 1377 is the inclusive day count total from 12.5.97 through and including September 11, 2001. This in-text count of the first three values ends with the number 254. What most people do not realize (unless you read this site) is that 254 is the day number for 9-11 in a non-leap year, which 2001 was. I had never before gotten a confirmation of the 1377 number and it's tie to 9-11. The Lord told me and showed me through Strong's numbers during that week in December that Arabs were going to attack the continental USA - but I had no idea when, and despite all the number running I've done I had no 1377 confirmation up until now. Conclusions: 1) Running number totals are valid. This is not a new conclusion, but for the sake of the readers I write it here. Running totals of gematria numbers have been found to be accurate (i.e. they produced thematic matches or verse matches, etc) on many many occasions. Running totals are adding the values together and checking each value when added looking for "hits". 2) 9-11 = 911,11.23 = 1123, 12.05 = 1205, etc. This western format of dates can be written as whole numbers, and as such can be used for Bible number research as gematrias, Strong's number, or even Scripture reference numbers. 3) Since this is a list of Harpazo values, It seems clear to me that you can count the days to the Rapture (Catching Away) from 12.5.97, 9.11.2001, or 11.23.06 as valid starting points. In my mind then, it is prudent to check the running inclusive day count totals from these starting dates regularly to see where we are in the cumulative total. Bob Ware also has starting dates that he uses tied to his unique line of study. 4) Gematria values, Strong's number and all Bible number systems are tied to real time events in the past, present and future. They might be dates, details of events on those dates, etc. What I feel is useless and has failed, at least for me and my work at an astounding rate of 100%, is analyzing and using Bible numbers to predict that such and such event will occur on such and such a day. Some prophecy students seem to think this is the Holy Grail of study - accurate predictions. I don't agree with this at all. At the same time, the Lord has shown me (and others) events in the future that are going to occur in a dream or a vision. Using the dream or vision as a starting point for Bible number analysis is valid imho. These are my opinions. Jesus is Lord.
