Readers -

I'm a proponent of a Resurrection of the Dead and a Catching Away happening at the same time as the Destruction of Damascus, and I've written about it many times. Of course I'm not dogmatic about it, but that's the way I see it now. imho other things happen also at that time.

now, going here:

you find the Isaiah 17:1 verse broken down word for word.

"The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap."

I won't rehash old material in detail, but this verse has catastrophe written all over it numerically.

109 is a destruction/grief number.

verse placement number for this verse = 17985 = 3 x 5 x 11 x 109

total verse hebrew gematria for the verse = 2616 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 109

I've written about the total of the first four words being 1289. this is the 210th prime. since 210 has now been associated with Polonium (radioactive) and the murder of Litveninko, I postulate that Damascus is destroyed by nuclear weapons.

I also postulate that there are two atomic bombs dropped on Damascus, one after the other, not at the same time. the city name is mentioned twice.

Micah 2:12 has a total verse gematria of 4793.

"I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men."

running total through the 911 valued word = 1831

thus 1831 is tied to 911 and Enoch.

this verse:

Genesis 5:24
"And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him."

has a total verse gematria of

1831

in Isaiah 17:1, the running gematria total of the last seven words of the verse (the verse has a total of nine hebrew words) =

1831

I further postulate that this might indicate that the Catching Away (of which Enoch is the forerunner, Genesis 5:24) happens BETWEEN the two atomic strikes on Damascus.

word two = 444, strike one.
word three = Resurrection/Catching away
word four = 444, strike two
