"The number 47"
Hi John,
I am writing this email to respond to a post by Julia on your website about the number 47, here is my story: -
I am a Christian, I became a Christian at age 14, but then wandered from
the faith for 32 years. I am now 47 years old and my faith has been
restored this year, and things are happening to me that I can’t explain
other than that they are supernatural. I am zealous in my faith but my
wife is not a Christian, she has aggressively opposed me in anything
Christian I do or say. I took her to lunch one day and I told her I want
to work full time for Jesus. She told me that if I do this she will
divorce me. I told her that her decision to want to divorce me would not
change my mind, I am determined that one day soon I will work for
Jesus. We agreed over lunch that I would move out of our bedroom into
another room for a separation period of 1 year, and after 1 year we
would divorce (that’s the law here). Just before we left the restaurant,
something made me look at the table number, the waiter had seated us at
table 47. When we got home for some reason we did not talk to the
children that day or night, and went to bed as normal. The next morning
my wife was very tearful and apologised to me, and she said that she
didn’t want to leave me and she wants to make our marriage work. Since
then she has been much more tolerant of my Christianity.
Prior to this I became interested in blood moon tetrads, and I
discovered that it is 47 years since the last blood moon tetrad. I also
discovered that 47 days after the first blood moon in the tetrad in
1967, Israel captured Jerusalem and the war was over.
I find this all very interesting and see the hand of God in everything!
Blessings,
Martin
