Brother Mike:
 
      Your thinking , and reasoning seem to be so far the best answer I've gotten on the number 21
 
     I've believed the 21 had something to do with the Rapture, because the blue cloud containing
 
     21 was also the same bright colored  blue  beam of light that shown down upon me that night.
 
      The closest description is a welder's blue arc at night when welding. Now the number 21 glowed
 
      white as lightning, same as my flesh did before vanishing, my clothing was untouched.
 
      Very interesting  1996 + 21 =2017 or 1996 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 2017 (777)  I think 2017 is also the next
 
       Jubilee year. I like your thinking on this . If nothing happens (Rapture ) next year 2014 or 2015
 
       2016  ,I'm going to go ape crazy come 2017.. Think about it ,possible peace agreement 2014,
 
       blood red moons 2014 and 2015 .I really believe Israel and Iran are going to clash  ( Psalm : 83 )
 
       war. Event's are going to start faster and faster ,one right behind the other just like the earth-
 
       quakes, I believe 2014 will be the beginning  faster birth pains,  Anxiety from God's chosen
 
       ones  are going to skyrocket. Again I cannot date set 2017, but I can assure you I'll be watching
 
       for all the coming events, plus that sphere object in the sky..
 
       God Bless all of you.....  Brother David Daughtrey
