"The final part of Noah's sign..the days in the ark and their relationship to the rapture"

 Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

I am very grateful to John Tng for his post recently.  I agree with his finding of August 3/4 as a very high watch date for our taking out.  What follows is why I say this.

I believe that the sign of Noah not only had the 43,200 days overlay WHICH TAKES THE END TO 12/7/2015, but the sign of Noah also includes the specific counts of days in the ark.  The 43,200 days is a proven fact based on the tetrads of eclipses and the overlay of days equal to the days of Noah in preparing the ark.  I believe that it fulfills Matthew 24:37 where Jesus said “as the days of Noah were”.  

I know that the Holy Spirit was careful to outline the time counts within the very first solar year that Noah and his family resided inside the ark.  A careful analysis of this time was done by Dr. C. I. Schofield, which analysis he included in his footnotes to Genesis 7 and 8 in the Schofield Bible.  The footnote reads in its entirety:

“The flood began in the 600th year, 2nd month, 17th day of Noah’s life (Gen 7:11).  It rained 40 days and nights (7:12); the waters continued to increase (7:18), reaching their highest point on the 150th day (7:24), which figure includes the 40 days of 7:12.  The ark rested somewhere in the mountain range known as Ararat, (i. e. Armenia, 8:4) on the 7th month, 17th day (i. e. 74 more days).  There followed 40 days before Noah sent out the raven (8:6-7), and three periods of 7 days related to the three releasings of the doves (8:8-12), compare vs. 10 ‘yet other seven days’).  Thus far there were 285 days.  The period between the removal of the covering of the ark (601st year, 1st month, 1st day, vs. 13) and the third sending forth of the dove is 29 days (deduced by comparing 8:13 with the date of entering the ark, 7:11).  Finally, a comparison of 8:13 with vvs 14-16 indicates a further 57 days’ wait before Noah and his family went forth to the dry earth, or 371 days in all, which figure agrees when 7:11 is deducted from 8:14 ----12 months of 30 days plus 11 days.  (The Jews count both the beginning and ending day of a sequence).  But the actual elapsed time was exactly a solar year.  This is established by multiplying the 12 months, of 7:11 and 8:14, by the 29 1/2 days which comprise a lunar month.  The total is 354 days.  Add 11 days (17th to 27th of 2nd month, vs 7:11 and 8:14) --- one solar year.

Schofield further noted that Gen 7:24’s number of 150 suggests the use of a 30 day month---- 5 months of 30 days each.

This is fitting seeing that the earth in those days was in a perfect 360 degrees orbit around the sun, and its diurnal rotation was exactly 24 hours.  (I believe that this backs up the so-called prophetic year of 360 days). 

I have applied the counts in Noah’s experience in the ark as follows:

!---------------------2012-----------------!---------------------2013--------------------------------!
Jul      Aug       Sep      Dec/Jan  Mar      Apr     May    May    May       Jun       Aug   Aug
27/28   3/4       12/13      31/1     15/16    24/25    1/2     8/9     15/16       6/7        2/3     3/4      !---7---!---40---!---110---!---74---!---40---!---7---!---7---!----7---!---22---!---57---!---1---!

Beginning with the 2012 Olympic Games opening day there should be the seven day alert or warning, the same as given to Noah.  July 27/28, 2012 signals the onset of great tribulation in just a week’s time hence.  The end of that time is the beginning of 40 days of “rains” or destruction upon this earth. 

Please note the following sequence matching the time line above.

1.  July 27/28, 2012:  7 days call to the ark, and possibly the resurrection of the dead in Christ; with day 7 being the rapture of the living?  Just speculation on my part.

2.  August 3/4, 2012:  beginning of 40 days “rains” and it is the birthday anniversary of President Barack Obama.

3.  September 12/13, 2012: end of the 40 days “rains” and which is the exact  24th anniversary of the 1988 rapture message which reached the entire Christian world, and which was Rosh Hashana in that year, and which I believe was a true message of preparation for the Christian world to prepare for right now.

4.  December 31, 2012/January 1, 2013:  the brand new year and in Noah’s day the waters began to assuage and the ark hit land, and it was the end of total destruction of 110 additional days to the 40 days which caused total flooding, and it will be the start of the new year 2013.   

5.  March 15/16, 2013:  74 days later and land masses appeared to Noah, and it lands on the Ides of March date, infamous in Roman history, the day that Julius Caesar was assassinated.  Every year it is considered and evil day.

6.  April 24/25, 2013:  40 more days until the first bird, a raven, was sent out of the ark.  Now the raven is associated with darkness and somehow relates to the beast of Revelation 13, perhaps also somehow to the mark of the beast.

7.  May 1/2, 2013:  7 days for raven to return, to the ark, which it did not, and first dove was sent out, and it is May day, the high celebration day of Russia and China and countries of the communist persuasion.  It has been a high watch day every year for some kind of destruction. 

8.  May 8/9, 2013:  7 days for the dove to return to the ark and it is the preparation week for the celebration of the birthday of Israel.

9.  May 15/16, 2013:  7 days for the dove to bring back the olive twig, which it did and that indicated new growth on the earth, and it is the anniversary of Israel’s birthday celebration day.  Finalization of the nation’s birth finished on this day, while declaration was made in the United Nations meeting the day before, May 14, 1948.

10. June 6/7, 2013:  22 days for full uncovering of the ark in preparation for departure,  and it is the anniversary of the taking back by Israel of Jerusalem in 1967, an even of paramount importance to the nation.

11.  August 2/3 2013:  57 days for ground to be fully dry for departure, and the eve of the end of the solar year with last day starting on the morrow.

12.  August 3/4, 2013:  1 day for Noah and his family to exit the ark, and it is again the birthday anniversary of Barack Obama.

THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE COMING SOLAR YEAR OF DESTRUCTION AND REORGANIZATION STARTING WITH THE BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY OF BARACK OBAMA.

I believe that these dates are pointing to major events in the upcoming 365 days period involving the Psalm 83 war and will probably also include the Ezekiel 38/39 war, and these dates fit perfectly on significant dates, which give a picture of “the sign of Noah”.

I also believe that the great tribulation is not only the time of God’s wrath against evil on this earth, but it also continues in earnest, the restoration of the planet to the same primeval conditions that existed before the worldwide flood of Noah’s day.  This is necessary in order to have the perfect conditions for the Millennial Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Israel is to be the head nation in that Kingdom on earth, ruled over by none other than King David, resurrected and acting as regent at the behest of the King of Kings, who is in the New Jerusalem with His lovely Bride.

This time frame, therefore, leads to the coming of the two witnesses and the sealing of the 144,000.  I think it has already been suggested, if not established, that the abomination of desolation of the temple in Jerusalem has already taken place in this month of July, 2012.  I refer you to the Jerusalem Post story of July 9, 2012, which called the desecration of the most holy place by putting tools and work benches on the rock where it is believed that the ark of the covenant stood, as an abomination.  The sacrifices have been stopped and a call for them to resume was made according to the article.  It seems to fill the bill for the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet.

Virtually all of the dates in the above time line are significant to my understanding of the Noahic sign of Genesis 7 and 8.
