PONDERING JULY 20^TH AS THE DAY OF DEPARTURE

Hello John and all watching and waiting Doves!!

First of all, I just have to say that the letters that have been appearing daily are just wonderful!!!  I have enjoyed just spending time reading them all, and soaking in the light, love, and knowledge!!  THANK YOU ALL!!  It was especially nice to read letters from John Tng and all about his incredible findings, such an inspiration and a blessing!!  I am so very hopeful that our time here is almost over, and we shall go from foreboding to fabulous!!

The house that I have been living in has foreclosed and I need to be out of here by August 1^st and still, I do not have a place lined up to go.  So busy doing a moving sale, and all that, so every moment seems to be filled with preparing to depart.  There is a certain amount of fear that comes along with this, but the Lord keeps telling me to hold on and wait for the last minute…something wonderful is going to happen and I may not have to look for another home on this earth!!

That being said, I have been focusing on the stillness inside and have not been Holy Spirit inspired to write much, but instead to listen and read and learn.  There are only a few things that have been put on my mind and heart that I would like to share here, in this letter.  They are both about July 20^th, as the feeling I got when I looked into the three verses about Jesus coming quickly in the last chapter of the book of Revelation, and the date that was put on my heart at that time…7/20/12.

Since then, I have been directed to look at the entire book of Revelation and how these three numbers play into the Big picture.  So I looked at each chapter in the whole book of Revelation, that has these three numbers, and here is what I found.  It may not mean anything, but the more I thought about it, and the more that I read other letters about this date, the more I have been compelled to share this.

When I looked at the main concept of chapter 7 and chapter 12 and chapter 20 in Revelation, I found it extremely interesting that each chapter had to do with a major component of being part of the Rapture (or raptures).  The following are a few verses from each chapter, which appears to me to be part of the same theme.

Chapter 7 has everything to do with the sealing of the 144,000 and the rapture of the Bride, the great multitude that enters heaven at the same time.

Revelation 7

King James Version (KJV)

7 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

² And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

³ Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

AND

⁹ After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

¹⁰ And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

¹¹ And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

¹² Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

¹³ And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

¹⁴ And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

¹⁵ Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

¹⁶ They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

¹⁷ For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Chapter 12 has everything to do with the Rapture of the MANCHILD, and the beginning of the second half of the Tribulation.

Revelation 12

King James Version (KJV)

12 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

² And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

³ And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

⁴ And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

⁵ And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

⁶ And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

⁷ And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

⁸ And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

¹² Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

¹³ And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

¹⁴ And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

¹⁵ And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

¹⁶ And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

¹⁷ And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

 

Chapter 20:  In this chapter, the main focus is the FIRST RESURRECTION…no matter how many raptures there are, (and I believe there are three), it is of the upmost importance to be part of this FIRST RESURRECTION!!!

Revelations 20: 5...........But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

Revelations 20: 6...........Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: and such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priest of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Each one of these chapters is dealing with Salvation and Rapture!!  I find that

fascinating in that it relates to the verses in Rev. 22 about how Jesus is COMING QUICKLY, in verses 7, 12 and 20!!

Chapter 7 deals with the rapture of the Bride, and chapter 12 deals with the Rapture of the Manchild, and chapter 20 deals with the First Resurrection!!  7 the month, 12 the year, and 20 the day.  Could this mean something??  Maybe wishful thinking on my part, but, nevertheless, I find it something worth looking at.

Another thing that has been put on my heart recently is how July 20^th plays into when the Tribulation began.  I know that many others have different outlooks on this, but to me this means something important.  I feel that the day that the stock market crashed on September 29, 2008 is a HARBINGER… but not the start of the

Tribulation.  I think that the Tribulation started on January 20^th 2009, when Obama was inaugurated into the office of President of the United States!

The Inauguration of President Barack Obama

Yesterday was a historic day. On January 20th, 2009, Barack H. Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States of America - the first African-American ever to hold the office of U.S. Commander-in-Chief. The event was witnessed by well over one million attendees in chilly Washington D.C. and by many millions more through coverage on television and the Internet. Collected here are photographs of the event, the participants, and some of the witnesses around the world.

To me this is what truly represents the covenant with many, as described in Daniel…looking again at the millions of people around the world that witnessed this, and looked to him to be their savior, totally speaks to my heart as the moment when everything changed.  Please notice that the date that he became the KING OF THE WORLD, was January 20^th , 2009!!  He even dropped the HOLY BIBLE during the ceremony!!

Now, what date is it that is exactly 3 and one half years from this historic moment??!  You guessed it….JULY 20^TH 2012!!!!

Is this the date of the true PENTECOST?  Is this the date of the beginning of the GREAT TRIBULATION?  Is this the date that we can look to be taken out of this evil dark world?  I don’t know for sure…no man knows the day or hour. But, I for one would be so thrilled!! There are some other good dates around this time, so no matter what it sure seems that it will happen very soon!!

You are all so precious to me!!  Thank you for letting me share this momentous time in all of human history with so many awesome believers!!  We are almost there!!!

Big hugs and much Agape love to all you fabulous doves!!!

Your sister in our GLORIOUS LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST,

HE IS ROARING LIKE A LION!!
