Readers - one other thing occurred to me after writing the last post on 1289g and the Scattering. 1289 is the 210th prime number. As mentioned in other articles, 210 is the isotope of Polonium element 84, that was used in the Litvinenko incident. The former Russian spy who died after being murdered with it in his tea. I've concluded that Damascus is destroyed by a nuclear weapon (two bombs actually), in Isaiah 17:1. This "Scattering" that may be coming (see my other posts) due to this attack, as well as persecution as found in Acts 8:1. I think it's fair to say that when the Rapture happens, all hell is going to break loose on this planet. **** special note: here is an article that contains some info Bob Ware compiled on the 1289 number and geometry: http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/sep2010/clay927-2.htm Jesus is Lord.
