Dear Doves:
We all know that 17 is the important number, and adding 1 to 17 is 153.
And I found 5 interesting clues from Genesis 17 as below:
1) When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and made the covenant.
And as the sign of the covenant, the Lord commanded "Circumcision" on the 8th day.
Amazingly it's 99 days from the sign of Rev 12 on 9/23/17 to 12/31/17, and the 8th day of New Year is 1/8/18.
8 means New Birth and New Beginning.
It fits to Charity's "5,6,7,Jesus!" and the 8.8 Concepcion earthquake on Purim 8 years ago.
Esther is a type of the Bride.
2) The Chosen people failed to keep the covenant as it's written in Romans 9:30-32.
"What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness
that is by faith, but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained
their goal. Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if were by works. They stumbled over the
stumbling stone"
3) Among 7 Churches, only Philadelphia Church completes the covenant as it's written in Revelation 3:10.
"Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to
come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth"
4) When the Lord made the covenant, the whole land of Canaan was given to him and his descendant as an everlasting possession.
But it was given to the descendant of Isaac, not of Ishmael.
On 12/21/17 UN rejected the covenant that the Lord made with Abram and his descendant of Isaac.
It's 18(6+6+6) days from 12/21/17 to 1/8/18.
And Obama's name is of 18 alphabets.
It fits to the 18th verse of Revelation 13 which means Apostasy and Rebellion.
"This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.
That number is 666"
5) The Lord changed the name of Abram to Abraham.
Each one of the Bride will have a new name as she enters New Jerusalem.
Maranatha!
