Hello, John and Doves,In Roman times (which we are still in, prophetically), they had four watches of the night."And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea."From Barnes' Notes on the Bible:"And in the fourth watch of the night--The Jews anciently divided the night into three parts of four hours each, usually called watches. The first of these watches is mentioned in Lamentations 2:19, the middle watch in Judges 7:19, and the morning watch in Exodus 14:24. In the time of our Saviour they divided the night into four watches, the fourth having been introduced by the Romans. These watches consisted of three hours each. The first commenced at six and continued until nine; the second from nine to twelve; the third from twelve to three; and the fourth from three to six. The first was called evening; the second midnight; the third cock-crowing; the fourth morning, Mark 13:35. It is probable that the term watch was given to each of these divisions from the practice of placing sentinels around the camp in time of war, or in cities, to watch or guard the camp or city; and that they were at first relieved three times in the night, but under the Romans four times. It was in the last of these watches, or between three and six in the morning, that Jesus appeared to the disciples, so that he had spent most of the night alone on the mountain in prayer."from: http://bible.cc/matthew/14-25.htm

Mari, your vision seems to suggest the second watch.
Jesus said,
"It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night."
Here's how I see it:
4 watches equal 1 week--29 October 2008 to 23 September 2015.
The first watch equals 8/15 of one week.
The second watch equals 4/15 of one week.
The third watch equals 2/15 of one week.
The fourth watch equals 1/15 of one week.
A week equals 8/15 plus 4/15 plus 2/15 plus 1/15 of a week, or 15/15 = 1 week.
One fifteenth of a week equals (7 X 360 days)/15 = (7 X 360 days) X (1/15)
= 7 X [360 days X (1/15)] = 7 X (360 days/15) = 7 X 24 days = 168 days.
The first watch is over in 8 X 168 days = 1344 days.

Added 1344 days
Resulting date: Wednesday, July 4, 2012
Ergo, by that strange math, we are barely in the second watch, as of US Independence Day, 2012. Remember the Big Bang Boom? The second watch is over after 12 X 168 days = 2016 days.

Resulting date: Wednesday, May 7, 2014, which is 7 Iyyar 5774, one week before Second Passover [Numbers 9:6-14]
Remember what Yogi Berra said, "It ain't over til' it's over."

Oh, yeah. Btw, the third shift is over on a Wednesday as well.
14 X 168 days = 2352 days

Resulting date: Wednesday, April 8, 2015, the fourth day of the Omer.
Don't forget, 15 X 168 = 2,520 days

Methinks the LORD is saying, "Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday, I come back on Wednesday!"
Hint: Wednesday is Woden's Day. Woden is Germanic Mercury. Mercury is the Winged Messenger (Angel) of the Gods (read: of Elohim). This same Jesus will come as He left. Jesus, is His Divine Snarkiness, says, "Behold, I come quickly!"
That's probably meant as a big hint as to when He's coming. After all, He and the Father are One [Echad in transliterated Hebrew].

"I had a vision last night"
Right before falling asleep,when i was not too awake but not quite asleep i saw some images. I saw a clock and the upper left side of it,the side after nine o'clock or ten and before twelve o'clock was flashing in red.Then i saw cartoon-like children flying upwards.It was very short.
Blessings,
MARI
