1. March 20, 2024 = Spring Equinox
2. Sight the 1st Full Moon thereafter? That is
March 25, 2024. This is your 1st Day of the
1st Month, Nisan.
3. Count 14 Days = April 8, 2024. This was Passover and
Total Solar Eclipse in Pisces.
4. Now if one uses the Interpretation of the ‘Morrow
after the Sabbath’ being the Weekly Sabbath of that
Passion Week, then is the Day of April 12, 2024, which
would be Nisan 18, the Day after the Resurrection
Saturday, not Sunday, etc.
5. Then Count the 1st Set of 7 Sabbaths or 49 Days
+ 1 Day = Shavuot. This Feast of the First Fruit of the
New Grain was June 1, 2024. The Day after is when the
Planets Aligned.
6. Then from June 2, 2024 count the 2nd set of 50
Days and that takes you to July 22, 2024. This is the
End of the Summer Wheat Harvest. It is then celebrated
the next Day, July 23 (723) as that Feast of New Wine
that begins the Wine Harvest. And this is the
Astrological Leo New Year.
7. This July 23, 2024 (723) is the Day one argues is the
True Pentecost and New Wine Day coinciding with Acts 2.
And? This could be when the Rapture occurs if the
‘Beginning is like the End and the End is like the
Beginning’. The Church Age Days are Numbered, no?
8. Then as Bob stated, 21 Days later from July 23,
2024 or a 7-7-7 Factor is when the 9th of Av
occurs.

"22 NT references connecting Pentecost with the
Rapture"
Twenty two New Testament references to the rapture that
correspond with the 9th of Av
As we know Pentecost refers to a 50 day count, the number
5 is associated with grace and when you multiply it by 10
it is the completion of grace. The Lord was baptized on or
around Pentecost and then four years later His ministry of
grace was completed when the Holy Spirit was poured as the
new wine into the church as the new wine skins. The church
age began at that point.
We are told in the Bible that God is the same yesterday,
today and forever. There are very few appointed feasts in
the New Testament. We are told clearly by Paul that we are
not required to keep the appointed feasts given in the
Law. We are, however, charged to keep the Lord’s table.
That is certainly an appointed feast of the New Testament.
The only other feast that we are told about is Pentecost.
Jesus as the bread and wine is our Passover feast, He is
our unleavened feast, He is the feast of first fruits for
us, we celebrate His ascension and so He is our Shavuot,
the Lord’s table is where we trumpet the soon return of
the king and also it is our day of atonement where we must
examine ourselves. We look to the Lord’s coming so in that
sense it is also our Feast of tabernacles. So all of those
feasts are wrapped up in our celebration of the Lord’s
table.
However, the feast of Pentecost is also unique to the New
Testament, it is where the church was formed, and it is
where the Holy Spirit was given to us as an earnest of the
promise. When you make a covenant there must be a price
paid, that was paid by the Lord on the cross, there must
also be the rules given, the Lord told us at His ascension
to do all that He commanded, and there must be an earnest
of the promise, a downpayment. The Holy Spirit was given
to us as the earnest of the promise, it is our
downpayment.
>From this point the groom, Jesus Christ, has two years
to build us a place to live in His father’s house. The
Lord told us He was going to to do this and then return
for us. Therefore we consider that the two thousand years
since this point would be those two years. So then we
expect all of this to be fulfilled by 2030. However,
anyone who has studied eschatology knows that the last
seven years are complicated. There is evidence that some
get taken prior to these seven years, some in the middle
and some at the end. I have looked at these different
doctrines on this blog. In my opinion there is a strong
Biblical basis to say all three will take place and no
legitimate basis (in my opinion) to rule out any of these.
I think about one sixth of the living saints will be
raptured prior to the tribulation, five sixths will either
die or be raptured during the tribulation and then Israel
will be saved as a nation at the end of the tribulation. I
also think all of that will be done by the year 2030,
though the Jews could be on a Hebrew calendar which would
take them into 2031 to the end of March. This is simply
Bible interpretation and any or all of us could be wrong.
But it is important to have a framework from which to
work.
Interestingly the three major chapters on the Lord’s
return in the gospels all begin with the question when
will these things be, referring to the temple being
destroyed, and the destruction of the temple is the
context from which the Lord tells us about the end of the
age. He likens the destruction of the temple and the
scattering of Israel to the beginning of the tribulation.
However, the prevailing eschatology that I am using has
the tribulation starting with the rapture. So then from
the viewpoint of everyone on earth the rapture of the
saints will be the destruction of the church (it will be
gone and whatever is left will be attacked and burnt with
fire by Antichrist and his armies) and all the believers
will be scattered. What is fascinating about this is that
the destruction of the temple took place in 70AD on the
9th of Av. That event is part of the New Testament history
and that date is the answer to “when will these things
happen” that the disciples asked the Lord.
So then let’s learn a little about the 9th of Av. This is
the date in Exodus when Moses came down from the mountain
and broke the ten commandments because the children of
Israel were involved in an orgy while worshipping Moloch.
Pentecost takes place at the same time. When Moses broke
the ten commandments 3,000 died and when Peter preached
the gospel at Pentecost 3,000 were saved. They were having
their orgy at the time of the feast of new wine and
Pentecost is the feast of new wine. This is contrary to
traditional teaching in Christianity.
In Christianity the traditional teaching is that Jesus
ascended 40 days after He rose from the dead. This is
based on a superficial reading of Acts which says that the
Lord appeared to the disciples 40 days or 40 times after
the resurrection. The problem is that John tells us the
second time he appeared was 8 days after the first and the
third time He appeared was when they went fishing. It is
hard to believe that right after Jesus appears Peter says
“I’m going fishing”. Therefore at the very least it should
be 48-50 days after the resurrection. Shavuot depicts
Moses, a type of Jesus, ascending the mountain just like
ascension day. It is the day after seven complete sabbaths
after the resurrection. Therefore it is about 52-53 days
after the resurrection. Jesus conception, birth, baptism,
death, burial, and resurrection were all on appointed
feasts. Therefore many have questioned how the ascension
was not also on an appointed feast. In addition, if the
ascension was two or three days before Shavuot and
Pentecost was on Shavuot (traditional Christian teaching)
then it doesn’t make sense that Jesus tells them to tarry
in Jerusalem. They all came to Jerusalem to celebrate
Shavuot according to the law, of course they will tarry
till then. However, if Jesus ascended on Shavuot it
explains why they were all in Jerusalem and it explains
why He said to tarry till the Spirit be poured out. They
had to wait another 50 days, fasting and praying. Also, it
was 50 days after Shavuot that Moses came down, broke the
ten commandments and 3,000 were killed. Also, on the feast
of Pentecost some mocked that they were drunk on new wine.
Pentecost is the feast of new wine, it is 50 days after
Shavuot. However, Peter said they couldn’t be drunk
because it is only 9am. At 9am (the third hour) the
priests have to pour out the new wine as the first fruits
to God, only after that can everyone drink. Peter was
saying they can’t be drunk because the Priests have just
poured out the wine, no one has had a chance to get drunk
yet.
A second reference that ties in with this feast of new
wine is Paul saying the church is the pillar and base of
the truth. This is a reference to Samson pushing out the
pillars and the temple to Baal collapses killing 3,000.
The pushing out of the pillars by Samson is a reference to
the rapture and it coincides with the collapse of the
temple of Baal and the death of the idol worshippers. What
is interesting about this reference is that we are told
specifically that when the restrainer (Holy Spirit) is
taken out of the way the evil one is fully revealed.
A third reference to the rapture is when the Lord said “it
would be as the days of Noah”. On the 9th of Av Noah
released both the dove and the raven. The dove represents
the Holy Spirit and the raven represents the spirit of
Satan going to and fro over the face of the earth. The
dove is then drawn into the ark for seven more days
referring to the raptured saints being kept in safety
during the tribulation. This reference to the raven
flying to and fro reminds us of Job and all the things
that happened to him remind us of the tribulation. Again
we see the rapture and the start of the tribulation
coincide and occur at the same time.
Fourth, the New Testament term for rapture is “harpazo”
which means to be snatched out of the way of certain
destruction. When you read the book of acts the
tribulation and persecution against the church starts
shortly after Pentecost. The very first thing we learn is
that they all shared and had everything in common. This
sounds like what will happen during the tribulation when
you cannot buy or sell without having the mark of the
beast.
Fifth, the dead in Christ rise first. This also is a
reference to the 9th of Av, so let me explain. On this day
the ten spies gave an evil report and the two spies prior
to them gave a good report. After 38 years on this
date the dead rose up out of the graves. Every year after
the curse a portion of the Jews in the wilderness died on
this night. They would dig graves and lie in them and then
in the morning the dead would still be in the graves. But
38 years later the curse was over and everyone rose up out
of the graves, just like Paul saying “the dead in Christ
rise first”.
Sixth, the apostasy comes first. Paul said that before the
day of the Lord comes there will be a falling away from
the faith. This word apostasy is only used twice, it can
refer to a departure but the first time it is used it is
an accusation against Paul that he has departed from
Moses. This is what we see on the 9th of Av, God tells
Moses to get down because they are sinning, they have
departed from the covenant.
Seventh, in a moment the rapture takes place. This is the
same term that God used when talking about destroying the
worshippers of Moloch at Mount Sinai.
Eighth, the judgement on the Great Babylon, the whore that
rides the beast, refers to the apostate church which has
prostituted itself to Satan and the beast. This is
mentioned in the book of Revelation in a number of places.
The judgement on the temple of God always takes place on
the 9th of Av.
Ninth, they will be marrying, and giving in marriage,
eating and drinking. According to Jesus this will be
taking place right up to the moment the flood comes and
takes them all away. No Jewish person would get married on
the 9th of Av, nor would there be eating and drinking. It
is a fast day for all Jews. The Lord’s word indicates that
the rapture is a dividing line between people getting
married and having feasts and not getting married and
having feasts. That sounds like sunset on the 8th of Av.
Tenth, according to the picture of the rapture in
1Corinthians 15 we are caught up into the clouds to be
with Jesus. In the picture in Exodus Moses calls out to
the Levites to “come up hither” to him. That is a picture
of the rapture.
Eleventh, the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the
night. Pattern is prophecy. Judas was a thief and he came
as a thief in the night when he betrayed Jesus. When Jesus
was arrested He was taken from the believers. In that
sense the crucifixion was like a thief coming in the night
for those who were sleeping and not watching. The 9th of
Av this year is on a Wednesday. If Jesus rose early in the
morning on the Lord’s day and was crucified on Wednesday,
spend three days in the tomb (Thursday, Friday and
Saturday) and then rose early on the Lord’s day you could
compare that pattern to the rapture, followed by three
days of darkness followed by believers hiding in an upper
room beginning to talk about the rapture.
Twelfth, the date of the 9th of Av on our calendar is
7/26. Strong’s identifies the words of the New Testament
by usage. The 726th word used in the New Testament is
Harpazo, the word we use for rapture.
Thirteenth — Paul says we are not appointed to wrath. On
the 9th of Av the Jews were supposed to get the wine cup
of marriage, instead they got the cup of wrath. Moses
ground up their idol, put it into the water and made
everyone drink. Those that swelled up were killed.
Fourteenth — "I go to the Father and if I go I will come
again that where I am you may be”, this matches Moses
going up the mountain on Shavuot and then coming again and
calling the Levites up to be with him.
Fifteenth — The Lord used the analogy of gathering the
wheat to the barn for the rapture. Ruth, who was a type of
the gentile bride is married to Boaz a type of Christ as
the kinsman redeemer. The marriage happens at the time
they are threshing the wheat. It says that she lay down
with Boaz by the threshing floor and you don’t thresh
barley, you only thresh wheat. Shavuot marks the first
fruits of the wheat harvest followed by the general
harvest for the next fifty days. The feast of new wine,
Pentecost, is when the wheat harvest is concluding, they
are threshing the wheat and bringing it to the barns.
Sixteen — Revelation 3:18 “and the shame of thy nakedness
do not appear”. The Lord warns Laodicea, the apostate
church, that if they didn’t repent the shame of their
nakedness would appear. This reminds us of Exodus 32:25
And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron
had made the people naked unto their shame among their
enemies), another reference to the 9th of Av.
Seventeen — Pentecost, the feast of new wine can also be
tied to Song of Songs where it says we have been brought
to His banqueting house. The word we translate as
“banqueting” is translated as “wine” in the other 138
usages. This should be called the house of wine.
Eighteen — Jesus says He will not drink of the fruit of
the vine again until He drinks it new with us when the
kingdom comes. Pentecost is when we drink wine new with
God. 5. Matthew 26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink
henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when
I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. Mark 14:25
Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit
of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the
kingdom of God.
Nineteen — Ephesians 2:21 says the church is growing unto
a holy temple in the Lord. The 9th of Av is the day that
the temple departs from the earth according to Matthew 24,
Luke 21 and Mark 13.
Twenty — Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at
any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and
drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come
upon you unawares. This is another description of the 9th
of Av. In Proverbs 7 the adulterous woman says the goodman
doesn’t come home till the appointed time (the full moon).
This sounds like the attitude of those worshipping Moloch.
They may have thought Moses doesn’t come down till the
full moon and the Bible seems to support that. God tells
Moses to get up and hurry down because they are sinning.
It seems Moses came down sooner than he was supposed to
and caught the adulterous woman by surprise.
Many argue that the Lord said “no one knows the day or the
hour” and although there is some debate as to what that
was referring to it is obvious that the rapture is a
surprise to some. However, the Lord also said John 15:15
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant
knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you
friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I
have made known unto you. We are warned to watch so that
we are not caught by surprise. It is biblical to say that
those who are watching and waiting will not be caught by
surprise but will be ready and expecting the Lord.
Twenty one — 1Peter 4:17 For the time is come that
judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first
begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not
the gospel of God?
These twenty previous points describe the rapture of the
church to be the judgment of the apostate church and that
this precedes the seven year tribulation on the nations.
According to Matthew 24, Luke 21 and Mark 13 this judgment
at the end of the age is similar to the destruction of the
temple which took place on the 9th of Av in AD 70.
Twenty two — 2Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God
shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe
a lie: God is going to send a strong delusion to those
that hate the truth. John 14:29 And now I have told you
before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye
might believe. However, the purpose is that those who
listen to the Lord’s word and treasure His words will
believe. The delusion is only for those who despise the
word. Therefore it is perfectly reasonable that the Lord
would tell us beforehand concerning the rapture so that
those who are left behind would not be caught up in the
great delusion but rather that they would believe.
Stuart W
by Lord Stirling
I have served as a consultant to three very high tech
aerospace firms. My specialty is conceptualizing advanced
warfare especially as it relates to new cutting edge
advanced weapon systems. What I see unfolding with a war
on Iran is the most frightening set of circumstances I
have ever seen; and I have been involved in advanced
theoretical weaponry strategy and design for over 20
years.
Sometime in the weeks to months ahead, there will be a war
launched against Iran. The war may be started by Israel,
or by the United States, or by a NATO/EU/US embargo, or by
some 'false flag' attack. What matters is that it will
begin; and where it will take the world.
Regardless if the war begins with a limited number of air
strikes against Iranian military and nuclear targets, or
if an all-out several thousand target attack begins from
day one, the probabilities of the war becoming a major
regional war within 48 hours are 90% or higher.
The Iranians will simply not allow Israeli and/or American
military forces to attack its territory without a major
response. Any significant counter-attack on Israel and/or
American regional bases will trigger a much greater
counter-response.
The Iranians have equipped, paid for, and trained a
massive unguided rocket and guided missile force in
Lebanon (the largest such force in human history). These
missiles are in place as a MAD force (a MAD ~ mutually
assured destruction ~ force is one that is a doomsday
force; established to prevent the use of overwhelming
military force by allowing a return "punch" of
overwhelming military destructive force upon one's enemy).
The total number of missiles and rockets in Lebanon are
variously estimated at 150,000. While many are unguided
Katyusha rockets, many are longer ranged guided missiles.
All are operated by Hezbollah Special Forces launch teams.
The Hezbollah Special Forces are in effect a highly
trained and well-equipped Iranian commando force of at
least a Brigade in size. They man and protect a large
number of mostly unguided and rather crude rockets,
generally Katyusha 122mm artillery rockets with a 19
mile/30km range and capable of delivering approximately 66
pounds/30kg of warheads. Additionally, Hezbollah are known
to possess a considerable number of more advanced and
longer range missiles. During the 2006 war Hezbollah fired
approximately 4,000 rockets (95% of which were Katyushas)
all utilizing only "dumb" high explosive warheads. Some
Iranian-built and supplied Fajr-3 and Ra'ad 1
liquid-fueled missiles were also fired. It is believed
that the larger and longer range missiles are directly
under the control of Syrian and Iranian officers.
The combination of short to medium range rockets and
guided missiles in Lebanon, and the longer range guided
missiles in Syria, the smaller number of rockets and
missiles in the West Bank and Gaza, and the longer range
guided missiles in Iran present a massive throw weight of
warheads aimed at Israel.
The 2006 Israeli-Hezbollah War (called the Second Lebanon
War in Israel) was an attempt by Israel at eliminating the
MAD counter-force in Lebanon. It was an attempt that
failed. The Syrians had purchased (and supplied to
Hezbollah) a large number of very nasty, relatively low
cost Russian AT-14 Kornet solid fuel anti-tank guided
missiles (ATGM), and the Iranian-trained Hezbollah
commandos dug in massive numbers of concrete bunkers and
firing positions. After over 50 Merkava main battle tanks
were hit, and the high tech American-made warplanes and
pinpoint weapons proved ineffective, the handwriting was
on the wall. Either use neutron bombs or lose a large
number of Israeli solders to remove the Hezbollah threat;
or declare peace and walk away for the time being ~ the
Israelis chose the latter.
It now appears that Israel has given up on the idea of a
ground assault to remove the many rocket and missile
launchers in Lebanon. A senior Israeli general has
resigned with the complaint that the Army is not training
sufficiently to fight in Lebanon. The alternative is the
use of FAE (fuel air explosive) technology weapons and
neutron bombs (a type of nuclear weapon that produces a
higher short-term radiological output and less blast
output than normal nuclear weapons).
Any use of such WMD by the Israeli Army on the Hezbollah
forces in Lebanon will likely automatically trigger the
use of WMD warheads on whatever rockets/missiles remain
operational (if their use has not already been authorized
due to the nature and scope of Israeli and/or American
attacks on Iran).
The bottom line of this is that Israel will face a truly
massive number of rockets and missiles from Lebanon with
radiological, chemical, biological and FAE "weapons of
mass destruction" warheads. Additionally, a sizable number
of such weapons/warheads will be fired from Gaza and the
West Bank. The Syrians will be using larger, more accurate
guided missiles to shower WMD upon Israel as will the
Iranians. To counter this, the Israelis will be using
their Green Pine Radar system and a combination of Israeli
and American anti-missile missiles. They will have good
success in knocking down many incoming missiles but the
sheer number of incoming weapons will totally overload all
defensive measures.
Large parts of Israel will be contaminated with radiation
with extremely long half-lives (many tens of thousands of
years in some cases), with a mix of chemical, FAE, and
biological nightmares thrown in for good measure. Total
deaths will amount to one-third to one-half of the Israeli
population with a large additional number being injured to
fulfill Isaiah 17 and Zechariah 13.
The Israeli response will be the nuclear annihilation of
Syria, Iran, and parts of Lebanon with many tens of
millions killed. Expect to see every city of any size
destroyed. There will be insufficient people left in
Syria, Iran, and large parts of Lebanon to even bury the
dead. Radiation will spread around the world from the
nuclear bombs.
Iranian sleeper teams in North America and western Europe
will begin to "seed" the populations of these areas with a
number (perhaps in the several dozens) of different man
made killer viruses. People in movie theaters, churches,
synagogues, shopping malls, subway stations, airports,
etc., will be exposed without anyone knowing it at the
time, to these advanced biowar viruses. About nine to ten
days later the computer reporting systems in the western
countries will begin to report back strange illnesses.
That will trigger a host of measures to contain the
advanced biowar viruses but it will simply be too late to
prevent a massive outbreak of horrific illnesses.
International travel and trade will effectively stop.
People will be ordered to stay home from work and school
with only critical job holders being allowed on the
streets. Hospitals will be overcome with sick and dying
people of all ages. The medical community will be among
the first to die off. Where temporary hospitals are
established in school gyms and other areas, the cross
infection of several different genetically engineered
viruses will ensure 100% mortality of everyone in the
temporary hospitals.
In the event that the neo-con nations have sought to
expand the Georgia war by new attacks on Russian forces or
by creating some naval incident in the Black Sea, the
probabilities of an quick expansion into a all-out Third
World War involving Russian and NATO nuclear weapons will
be at approximately 50%. Even without a global total war
being initiated, Russia is apt to "sweep" the Black Sea of
NATO ships with considerable loss of life on both sides.
The world will be in the worst economic depression in
history as global trade will be halted for at least
several months due to fears of the spread of the various
advanced biowar viruses. If Israel releases the
Arab-specific designer advanced biowar viruses that many
claim she has, the Saudis are apt to fire their Chinese
IRBMs (intermediate range ballistic missiles) and send
their very well-equipped air force against Israel with the
small number of nuclear weapons that they possess (they
have funded the Pakistani nuclear weapons program and have
several Pakistani made nuclear devices). Of course, what
is left of the Israeli forces will respond with additional
nuclear attacks, this time on Saudi Arabia and other Arab
nations for good measure.
In North America and western Europe the total number of
civilians, after two months of advanced biowar illnesses,
is apt to be at least a third of the population ~ a total
death count of well over 200 million persons. Despite the
best efforts of all nations, the man-engineered super
killer mutant viruses will spread throughout the world
causing total numbers of perhaps a billion or more to die
to fulfill Revelations.
The after effect of all of this may well lead to even more
war as the non-neo-con nations will be so incensed at the
massive loss of life of their citizens that total global
war may be unstoppable.

"Some Recent News Along With Reports That Iran Et Al
Will Attack On Tisha B'Av August 12/13"
Hello John and Doves,
Everything is moving quickly - hard to keep up. It's
been a busy week....two top terrorists were assassinated
(one in Tehran and one in Beirut), many air line flights
have been cancelled to Israel and other Middle East
countries, countries have asked their citizens to leave
Iran, Lebanon and Israel as soon as possible, Israel's
Knesset members were given satellite phones, Israeli's
told to prepare bomb shelters; it's being reported that
Iran has given Hezbollah electromegnetic bombs - to
disable communications and radar and the electric grid in
Israel.
And for those of us watching Tisha B'Av - ""Western
intelligence sources told Sky News Arabia that they had
evidence Iran intends to attack Israel on Tisha B'Va,
which begins on August 12 and ends on August 13."
Interesting timing that many are looking at Tisha B'Av as
Acts Pentecost and Feast of New Wine - high watch Rapture
date.
It's certainly on my calendar.
Here are some interesting developments with dates:
July 27: The Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida
reported that Iran has supplied Hezbollah with
electromagnetic bombs that can paralyze communications and
disable radars..." Pro-Iran groups will attack the
Golan if war breaks out. "Al-Jarida claimed that the
source says that Hezbollah already "possesses bombs and
missiles carrying explosive 'electromagnetic' warheads as
that Revolutionary Guards successfully delivers these
qualitative weapons to it a few days ago."
"Supposedly these weapons can be "launched from fixed
launchers and some of them can be carried by drones to
reach any point deep inside Israel."
"The report then goes on to elaborate about how Iran wants
to provide Hezbollah with the know-how to target Israel's
energy sector as well as water resources." And that
if Israel attacks Lebanon, Israeli settlers in northern
Israel will face "a disruption in basic services including
water, electricity and communications..."
July 30: 'Israel said late Tuesday that it
had killed Shukr (a Hezbollah top commander), who it said
was behind the weekend rocket attack on the Israeli
occupied Golan Heights that killed 12 youths. The
United States also blames Shukr for staging and planning a
bombing of a Marine Corps barrack in Lebanon in 1983 that
killed 241 American service members."
Hezbollah
Confirms Top Leader Fouad Shukur Killed in Israeli
Strike in Beirut
July 31: "Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was
assassinated early on Wednesday morning in Iran (Tehran)
...Haniyeh's residence was hit by an airborne projectile."
July 31: "Iranian military advisor
Milad Bedi was killed yesterday in the Beirut strike that
killed Hezbollah's top military commander Faud Shukr,
according to the Islamic regime's official Fars New
Agency."
Iran and Hezbollah have vowed retaliation.
Along with Hamas, the Houthis, Qatar, Turkey,
August 1: "Thousands of people have gathered
at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv trying to leave Israel,
following the latest developments in the Middle East
triggered by the murders of Haniya, Shoukr and Daif.
Information speaks of about 70,000 passengers...Due to the
tense situation, the list of airlines canceling passenger
and commercial flights to and from Tel Aviv for fear of
reprisals is growing....According to Israel's Channel 12,
seven airlines have already suspended flights to Ben
Gurion Airport until further notice. These are
Delta, United Airlines, Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines,
Brussels Airlines, Fly Dubai and Air India."

August 2: In Israel - "Government
ministers have been issued satellite phones in preparation
for possible retaliation for the assassination of top
Hezbollah military commander Fuad Shukr and Hamas leader
Ismail Haniyeh, whose death has been widely blamed on
Israel. According to the report, the satellite
phones were distributed due to concerns that a retaliatory
attack by either Iran or Hezbollah could destroy telephone
lines and knock out cell service."

August 2: "Airlines are avoiding Iranian and
Lebanese airspace and cancelling flights to Israel and
Lebanon, as concerns grow over a possible conflict in the
region after the killing of senior members of militant
groups Hamas and Hezbollah this week. Singapore
Airlines stopped flying through Iranian airspace from
early Friday morning and is using alternative
routes...Taiwan's EVA Air and China Airlines also appeared
to be avoiding Iran airspace for flights to Amesterdam on
Friday which had previously flown over Iran...Many
airlines, including U.S. and European airlines, already
avoid flying over Iran."
"Over the past two days, Air India, Germany's Lufthansa
Group, U.S. carriers United Airlines and Delta Air and
Italy's ITA Airways said they have suspended flights to
Tel Aviv. Airlines this week have also been
cancelling and delaying flights to the Lebanese capital
Beirut....Canada on Thursday issued a notice to Canadian
aircraft to avoid Lebanese airspace for one month due to
the risk to aviation from military activity."
"Should an all-out war break out in the Middle East, Ops
Group said civil aviation will likely face the risk of
drones and missiles crossing the airways, as well as the
increased risk of GPS spoofing - a growing phenomena
around Lebanon and Israel where militaries and other
actors broadcast signals that trick a plane's GPS system
into thinking it is somewhere it is not."
Airlines
avoid some Mideast airspace, cancel Israel flights
as tensions mount
August 2: "The leader of the Lebanese armed
group Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, said today that the war
with Israel has entered a new phase, warning that the
group will surely respond to the killing of a top
Hezbollah commander by an Israeli strike."
August 2: "France also called on its
citizens to leave Iran "immediately" amid fears the
Islamic Republic was preparing to attack Israel...Israeli
ministers have been given satellite phones in preparation
for an attack that could strike the country's
communication system...Residents in Jerusalem were told to
prepare bomb shelters."
"The United States was on Friday preparing to sent back-up
warplanes to help defend Israel from a possible missile or
drone attacks and deal with any major escalations."
August 2: "France, Poland urge citizens to leave
Iran, Israel and Lebanon as soon as possible....The
unstable security situation makes it possible to believe
that it will be more and more difficult to leave the three
countries..."
"Earlier on August 2, Polish airlines LOT announced the
cancellation of eight flights to Lebanon and Israel due to
the security situation. The announcement from Poland
follows several cancellations in other European countries,
including Czechia, where several flights back to Israel
were cancelled."
The War Starts on Tisha B'Av?"
This is in numerous news sites - including the Jerusalem
Post:
August 3: "Iran reportedly plans to attack Israel on
the day of Tisha B'Av, when Jews mourn the loss of the
first and second Temples...The report indicates that there
is an emotional and psychological impact in targeting
Israel on the holy day of mourning. The report
claimed that Jewish Israelis may feel particularly
vulnerable on this day - adding an additional layer of
psychological torment. Enemy states and entities
have focused their attack son Jewish holiday in the past,
as was the case on October 7, which fell on Simchat Torah
and Shabbat, and the Yom Kippur War in 1973."
"There is also reportedly a symbolic reason for attacking
this date, reviving historical traumas and replaying the
images of destruction. Finally, Iran allegedly hopes
that attacking on this day would bring an element of
surprise...they may be unprepared for a military attack."
"Sky New Arabia also claimed that the media coverage on
the attack would transmit a message to the Islamic world -
that "Israel is vulnerable to destruction as the Jews have
historically been...The report also claimed that attacking
on this day may restore morale of terror groups attacking
Israel, reinvigorating them for future attacks and showing
that Iran will continue to back terror leaders in the
regions."
Iran plans
attack on Israel over Haniyeh death on Jewish day of
tragedy - The Jerusalem Post
The U.S. Senate adjourns for a break on August 3 and will
return to D.C. on September 9 -
unless they call an emergency session due to
deterioration of the 'situation' in the Middle East.
Numerous letters to Doves have been written about the day
Tisha B'Av - and the possibility of the Rapture occurring
on this particular day. To many, this day is also
Acts Pentecost and The Feast of New Wine. Both
Temples were destroyed on this day - will this day have
yet another reason for great mourning across the Jewish
nation? A devastating attack from Iran and other
enemies?
A Rapture on this day will certainly fulfill Micah's
prophecy of great distress for the Jewish people at the
time of the grape harvest (Feast of New Wine) - all
the good men of the Earth have 'vanished'. The day
of the watchmen has come. There is no good men left
- just evil all around.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
Maranatha!

"A Possible 9th of Av Rapture"
Dear Doves,
Tisha B'Av this year falls on Aug 13, 2024, that is, the
9th of Av on the Hebrew calendar. Dr Barry Awe and
Tyler@Generation 2434 believe that this is also the Feast
of New Wine, the true Pentecost.
There are compelling reasons why the Rapture may just
happen on this feast. I know there are differing views on
the exact date of New Wine due to the different calendars
and how sabbath is counted. I doubt we can be absolutely
certain of the exact date this side of the Rapture as we
see through a glass, darkly.
Nonetheless, the LORD nudged me to take a look at my
daughter's three dreams again as there are important
details I missed out. By revisiting these dreams with
Tisha B'Av in mind, I am making a case for a 9th of Av
rapture this year . If nothing happens, let me apologize
first; it just means it's another failed attempt at
finding the elusive rapture date. Let me hasten to add
that I am looking for our Bridegroom, and not the date per
se.
The Number 665
My daughter saw the number 665 on Oct 20, 2023, thirteen
days after the Oct 7 attack on Israel by Hamas. In her own
words, "@dad what does number 665 mean? I saw it in my
dream this morning. I saw it very clearly. It was like an
alarm clock. The numbers were on the clock but very
clearly showed 665. The alarm clock was a digital one. But
there was no point (colon) in the middle of the numbers.
Just 3 numbers. 665. Haha Jem just sent me this. He said
the aircraft in front of him (in reservist now) is 665.
You’ll be shocked when you see this, dad." She added, "I
haven't read anything to do with 665 recently anyway. Even
I myself thought it was strange. It's more likely that I
would dream of 666 than 665."
I felt the same way too why 665 rather than 666. The 665
phenomenon started with my son two months earlier in
August 2023 when he was queuing for food in a food court.
His queue number was 665. He only realized something
unusual the next morning when he weighed himself at 66.5
kg.
What is the significance of the number 665?
The recent nudging by the Holy Spirit caused me to realize
that 665 is just 1 short of 666; it precedes the revealing
of the Antichrist. This means that we are EXTREMELY CLOSE
to our escape before all hell breaks loose. Since the
number 665 came to my family last year in 2023, does that
mean that 666 is going to happen this year in 2024?
As you will see shortly, this appears to be the hint given
by the Holy Spirit. The strongest scriptural support for
this hint comes from one complex prophetic sentence spread
over two verses:
2 Thess 2:3 (v29,665) "Let no
man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come,
except there come a falling away first, and that man of
sin be revealed, the son of perdition;"
2 Thess 2:4 (v29,666) "Who
opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called
God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in
the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."
The two verses should be read as a complex sentence due to
the semicolon at the end of the first verse. The
BCV (book-chapter-verse) number of the first verse,
223, points to the year 2023; it is
connected to the number 665
(the last 3 digits of v29,665). The BCV
number of the second verse,
224, points to the year 2024; it is
connected to the number 666
(the last 3 digits of v29,666).
The number 29 is the Number of DEPARTURE, a key
theme of the first verse that refers to the Rapture prior
to the revealing of the man of sin.
The Missing Link: 666
Since I was so focused on 2023 last year, I missed out
important info that points to this year. I am not making
up these information or fabricating any details; they were
simply blind spots at the time. Furthermore, I was
ignorant of the Feast of New Wine and therefore did not
factor that in.
My daughter saw the number 665 in an alarm clock (her
own words twice). So the number 665 is some kind
of
warning before something BIG happens. Two months
prior to my daughter's dream on 665, my son first noticed
665 on Aug 11, 2023. The next morning, he weighed himself
(something he seldom does) at 66.5 kg.
What I did not report on was what happened on Aug 12,
2023, after my son weighed himself at 66.5 kg in the
morning. I brought my son and dog to a cafe for lunch. The
name of the dog cafe is Two X Four, an amusing reference
to the number of legs a human owner has and that of
his/her dog. At the time, it did not occur to me that my
son, I, and my dog point to
2024 since 2+2+4 legs
are digits of the current year; not unlike the BCV number
of
2 Thess 2:4.
Furthermore, the name of the cafe spells Two (2)
Four (4), the short form for
2024.
Here's the clincher. Aug 12 this year in 2024
is the start of Tisha B'Av (6:00pm Aug 12 to 6:00pm Aug
13, 2024) !!!
In other words, EXACTLY ONE YEAR ago the Holy Spirit was
trying to impress upon me the significance of
665 in 2023 and 666 in 2024.
Do I have additional evidence? Yes, I have.
As I reread the WhatsApp chat I had with my son, I
realized that I missed out the number 666 BIG TIME. When
my son related his 665 experience, he did mention 666 in
an app he happened to open on Aug 11, 2023. He was puzzled
why he saw these two numbers one after another in such
close proximity. A few days after the incident, he managed
to share with me the app screenshot showing
666 reward points. The app is Atome; it
reminds me of the Greek word,
atomos, which means moment, in relation to
the twinkling of an eye rapture (1 Cor 15:52)
!!!
Furthermore, on the day we visited the dog cafe, I parked
my car directly opposite a vehicle with this number plate:
6665; this number is an amalgam of
666 and 665 !!!!!!
The name of the cafe is also revealing: there are two
hidden 666s right in the middle.
Two(60) X(600) F(6)o(60)ur
(Standard English Gematria)
First 666: o(60) + X(600) + F(6) = 666
Second 666: X(600) + F(6) + o(60) = 666
The sum o(60) + X(600) + F(6)
+ o(60) is 726, Strong's
number for HARPAZO, the snatching away of the bride at
the Rapture !!!
According to ancient Jewish custom, the Father would
send the Bridegroom to come get the bride ONE YEAR after
the marriage proposal. If you follow the New Wine (true
Pentecost) typology, this is exactly what happens with
the Church, the Gentile bride. The Church was betrothed
on the First Pentecost/New Wine when the Holy Spirit
(Wine) was poured out on the body of Christ. The
Bridegroom will come for the Church on the Last
Pentecost/New Wine when He will drink the New Wine with
His bride at the Rapture.
Our lunch bill came out to $59.07. This number is
extremely interesting. First, 7 cents refers to the 7
Lampstands, the Church. Second, 59 dollars points to the
fifth (5) month and ninth (9) day on the Hebrew
calendar, that is, the 9th of Av !!!!! Third, the digits
in the bill sum to 21 (5+9+7) which points to Aug 13
(21=8+13) !!!
If you search the cafe image online, you will find the
cafe name, Two X Four, plus the graphic
illustrations of a dog and its owner. The 8 letters in
the cafe name points to the 8th month, August. My son,
I, my dog, the graphic figures of a dog and its owner,
together with the 8 letters point to the date 13th
(8+5). The 14 legs of the two dogs (8 legs) and three
humans (6 legs) point to the 9th of Av (9+5=8+6) !!!
Thus, the Holy Spirit was showing me the date Aug 13,
2024, potentially pointing to the Rapture this year.
The number 665 is supposed to lead to 666.
This is supported scripturally by the fact that
2 Thess 2:3 (v29,665)
points to 2023 and 2 Thess
2:4 (v29,666) points to 2024.
As recent as yesterday, I realized to my astonishment
that Aug 11, 2023 is day
223 and Aug 12, 2023 is day 224 last
year (a non-leap year) !!!
The 9th of AV
When the LORD showed me the date for Tisha B'AV, that
is, the 9th of Av, I marveled in awe (read on).
I did not make up any information that is now shared
with you. When I wrote the post on Jun 3, 2024 (https://www.fivedoves.com/rapture/2024/enochwasnot.html), I shared my daughter's
three dreams. Since I was focused on Shavuot and my
rapture date, Jun 12, 2024, the last thing on my mind
was the 9th of Av.
My daughter's second dream happened on Jul 27, 2023; it
is about Shavuot with "barley and oats" she was shown in
the dream. At the time it did cross my mind that
wouldn't it be nice if it were Jul 26, pointing to 726
Harpazo, instead of Jul 27?
But now I realize Jul 27, 2023 was exactly Tisha B'Av,
the 9th of Av of the Hebrew year 5783 !!!!!!
WOW!
One year ago my daughter was shown in a dream, "barley
and oats", on the 9th of Av. As explained in my Jun
post, "oats" can be replaced by "wheat". She was shown a
Pentecost rapture. But if the true Pentecost is the
Feast of New Wine, and if New Wine falls on the 9th of
Av, then my daughter's dream is a powerful confirmation
of a potential Tisha B'Av rapture this year!
Palmoni the Wonderful Numberer
I believe Palmoni aka Jesus, concealed the Rapture date
in the Book He authored. "Then I heard one saint
speaking, and another saint said unto
that certain saint (Palmoni) which
spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily
sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give
both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under
foot?"
First, this verse speaks of the abomination that causes
desolation, a striking resemblance to 2 Thess 2:4, "...
he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself
that he is God." Let us suppose that the Rapture takes
place on the 9th of Av, 2024; shortly after the
Antichrist will be revealed. He will eventually enters
the Third Temple and desecrates it at the mid-point of
the Tribulation. The temple desecration theme in the
Palmoni verse in the Book of Daniel comports with Tisha
B'Av on which the first two Temples were destroyed.
More astoundingly, the chapter and verse numbers of the
Palmoni verse in the Book of Daniel, 8:13, points to Aug
13th !!! The verse number counted from Genesis 1:1 is
21975; this points to the year 2024 since
the digital sum is
24 (2+1+9+7+5) !!!
Daniel is the 27th book of the Bible; it is also the 5th
Major Prophet Book. Incredibly, the book numbers (9=2+7
&
5) point to the 9th of Av (5th
month) !!!
The digital sum of the verse number, 21975, also points
to the current Hebrew year
5784 (24=5+7+8+4) !!!
The book position of Daniel in which Palmoni is hidden,
is interesting. The 26 books before the Book of Daniel
can be viewed as pointing to the year
2024 (2+6 =2+2+4) as well
as August, the 8th month (2+6=8); the remaining
thirteen OT books, including the Book of Daniel, points
to the
13th day. Thus, amazingly, the potential rapture
date, Aug 13, 2024, is concealed by Palmoni yet
again in the Book of Daniel !!!
Nazarite & Nazarene
A major clue that ties the Feast of New Wine with the
true Pentecost in Acts 2 is the Nazarite vow and the
number 3,000. According to the research by Dr Barry Awe
and brother Tyler, Samson, a Nazarite, whose vow is that
no razor shall come upon his head, killed 3,000
Philistines on the 9th of Av. More importantly, a
Nazarite is to abstain from wine and all
other grape products, such as vinegar and grapes.
It can be argued that the words of Jesus during the Last
Supper when he said, "I will not drink henceforth of
this fruit of the vine, until that day when I
drink it
new with you in my Father's kingdom" (Mat 26:29)
is not unlike a Nazarite vow. Jesus will end this vow
(assuming it is a Nazarite vow) when He drinks the New
Wine with the bride in heaven on the Feast of New Wine.
The first four digits of the verse number of the Palmoni
verse, 2197, is the Greek gematria of JESUS THE
NAZARENE, the first title on the writing Pilate wrote on
the sign affixed to the cross !!!
Nazarite (Νᾱζῑραῖος) and Nazarene (Ναζωραῖος) is only
one Greek letter difference. Jesus the Nazarene may not
be a Nazarite by birth, but He appeared to have made a
Nazarite vow at the Last Supper, a vow He would keep for
two thousand years. This may not be a major evidence but
I find it interesting.
The Hebrew Letter SHIN (ש)
My daughter's first dream is about the Hebrew letter
SHIN. This is the 21st Hebrew letter with
Gematria value
300. Notice its links to the Palmoni verse,
Daniel 8:13. The sum of the chapter and verse
numbers is
21 (8+13). The first two digits of
the Palmoni verse number,
21975, is 21.
The date of the dream is Feb 7, 2021. The
Pentecost/New Wine key number,
3000, is implied by the letter SHIN with gematria
value 300. 3000 Israelites were killed by the
Levites on the 9th of Av because of the Golden Calf
idolatry. 3000 Philistines were killed by Samson on the
9th of Av. The Holy Spirit was poured out on the 3000
who gathered at Jerusalem on the true Pentecost/New Wine
on the 9th of Av.
The Hebrew for three begins with the letter
SHIN: שָׁלוֹשׁ; hence, three thousand in Hebrew begins
with the letter SHIN.
It is significant that my daughter saw the 21st
Hebrew letter SHIN in the year '21. With double
21 (3x7) and the
7th day of Feb when she had the dream, there are
Seven SEVENS. This is how Shavuot and New Wine are
counted, 7x7 days plus the 50th day.
My daughter's birthday falls on Aug 7. Between
Feb 7 and Aug 7, there are Seven SEVENS
!!!!!!!
Barley and Oats
My daughter was shown the phrase "barley and oats"
in her second dream when she was discussing rapture with
the family. This is the dream in her own words, "Btw, I
had a very interesting dream. Dad and maybe the rest of
the fam, you were in it and we were discussing rapture.
Somehow the phrase I remember from the dream is “barley
and oats”. Apparently in the dream, I was convicted that
the rapture time had something to do with it haha. I
woke up, looked this up, and realised that barley is
harvested in Spring (Passover to Pentecost) and oats are
harvested in May, which is Summer period (from Pentecost
to Tu B’Av).".
I surmised in my Jun post (link) that "oats" may be
replaced by "wheat"; hence, my daughter's dream is
pointing to a Pentecost rapture.
With the new info that is emerging, I now believe that
the Holy Spirit intentionally showed my daughter the
precise phrase, "barley and oats", for a reason. The
phrase contains
13 letters, pointing to the 13th day;
the 8 consonants point to August, the
8th month; and finally, the consonants in each
word is 4 (barley),
2 (and), & 2 (oats),
pointing to the year 2024 (422 reversed
is
224) !!!!!!
There are 21 consonants in the English
alphabet; the phrase, "barley and oats", splits
the
21 consonants perfectly into 8 used
(brly+nd+ts) and 13 unused
(cfghj+kmpqv+wxz) consonants, pointing to Aug (8th
month)
13th. The missing vowels, "u" and
"i", intimate that YOU and I will be missing in
the Rapture !!!
Together, the 26 letters in the alphabet point to the
year 2024 (2+6=2+2+4) !!!
My 666 Experience
In both of my 666 experience last year, it
involves me, my son, and my dog. In both instances, we
were out for lunch each time. The three of us voted with
our feet/paws for the year
2024 (2 feet +2 feet
+ 4 paws) when we visited Two X
Four dog cafe especially. :) You could also
say we voted for August, the
8th month (8=2 feet +2 feet
+ 4 paws).
My first 666 experience was on Aug 12, 2023, exactly one
year before Tisha B'Av this year, beginning Aug 12,
2024, 6:00 pm. I will not repeat what has been shared at
the start of this post.
What I want to focus on now is my second 666 experience,
three days after my daughter saw in her third dream the
number 665 on an alarm clock on Oct 20, 2023. The
month-day Oct 20 may be written as 10-20, or 1020 as a
whole number. The only scripture in the Bible with
gematria value 666 is found in Numbers 10:20;
thus linking the number
665 with 666. Furthermore, chapter 1020
in the Bible is Acts 2, the chapter in which we
witness the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the 3,000
believers who gathered in Jerusalem on the day of
Pentecost !!!
We are seeing confirmation after confirmation in my
daughter's dreams pointing to Pentecost/New
Wine/Antichrist this year.
In my Jun post (link), I shared that as we
approached the car park at Marina @Sentosa Island, I
first saw
666 number of empty car park lots on a display
panel some distance away from the car park. However,
when we were about to turn into the car park at the
entrance, a taxi beat me to it and thus I was left with
the
665th car park lot to occupy. When I parked my
car, I noticed my lot number on the floor is
223, pointing to the year 2023 when the
incident happened.
Singapore as a nation state is an island; but Sentosa is
also an island located on its southern tip, a popular
tourist resort.
You are not going to believe what I am going to share
with you now. Sentosa was formerly known as
Pulau Blakang Mati which in Malay means the
"Island of Death Behind" (see Wikipedia
link).
Hello? Leave the World Behind? Leave the World of Death
behind and get Caught Up to the Land of the Living at
the Rapture !!!
The lunch bill at Sentosa came out to $68.31. This
number, when laterally transposed, is the Greek gematria
of LORD JESUS CHRIST (3168). But more intriguingly, when
read from right to left, the bill amounts to a number
1386; this number barely conceals
13th Aug (13+8) and the year 2024 (8=2+2+4)
!!!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Doves, this month is going to be VERY EXCITING with what
is going on in the Middle East.
I am not saying the Rapture is going to happen 100% on
Tisha B'Av this year. No matter how amazing the numbers
appear to be saying, no one can really be sure about the
date. Regardless, we are in a very HIGH WATCH WINDOW
this month for sure.
I am also mindful that some brethren find it hard to
accept the 9th of Av as a joyous date for the Rapture.
The typologies seems to be diametrically opposed: temple
razed to the ground versus temple raised incorruptible.
But if the Rapture were to happen on the 9th of Av, our
Jewish brethren would certainly sit up and take notice.
Perhaps this may shake them up and lead them to find the
true Savior, Yeshua Hamashiach.
Perhaps just as the 3,000 who perished because of the
Golden Calf idolatry, and the 3,000 who were born again
on the first Pentecost, the Church as the Temple of the
Holy Spirit will vanish from the Earth, a form of
removal rather than destruction that befell the first
two Temples.
Let us hope for the best.
M A R A N A T H A !!!
John
