Hi Doves,
I want to share a couple of things that I haven't heard anyone - or hardly anyone - else catch.
For those who are impatient or busy, I highlighted the most significant points.
First Major Point - A few days ago, I was doing some pondering and discovered that the calendar for 2017 and the calendar for 1967 are identical.
(The calendar dates fall on the same day of the week.)
And I remind us that June 2017 is the 50th anniversary of the 1967 Six Day War!
I think God is underlining and circling the year 2017!
1967 is a significant year for Israel, and I believe 2017 will be a significant year for Israel.
SECOND Major Point - we are already in the 70th year from May 14, 1948 if you count it as 360 day years - let me explain -
A lot of us are looking at 70 years from May 14, 1948 and thinking that surely by May 14, 2018 we will be going home. 70 is such a special number for God.
Think about this God quietly talks about a 360 day year in the Bible.
If you take 360 days times 70 you get 25,200 days.
So 70 years in a 360 day year is 25,200 days.
If you start at May 14, 1948 and add 25,200 days, you get May 12, 2017
Folks May 12, 2017 is behind us!
If God is looking at 360 day years for prophetic events we are in the 70th year.
Let that sink in
We dont have to wait until next May to be in the 70th year!
THIRD MAJOR POINT - - - - we just celebrated the 70th Pentecost since May 14, 1948 because the first Pentecost was just a few days after the May 14, 1948 date. (So June 2017 was a 50 year celebration from 1967 and a 70th Pentecost celebration!!!! )
AND that makes the first Rosh Hashanah in September 1948 so ..the 70th Rosh Hashanah since Israel became a nation (May 1948) will be September 2017!!!
If you are a Rosh Hashanah rapture person, then take note that the 70th Rosh Hashanah since May 14, 1948 is coming up in September.
If you use the 360 day year and you take November 29, 1947 then 70 years has already pasted for that historical date. (if you use 365 day year, then it will be 70 years this November 29, 2017.)
Surely we are here. Surely we have arrived.
Now for a few thoughts I had many years ago which contain thoughts and facts that some of you already know with NEW things sprinkled in -
For a long time, Ive been wondering about the significance of 2017 and 2018.
It all started when I was scribbling on a piece of paper. I was using the numbers 50 and 70 because they are very significant numbers to God.
(God definitely appears to like certain numbers and use them to hint things to us.)
I took May 1948 and added 70 to it and came up with 2018.
I took June 1967 and added 50 and came up with 2017.
Looking at that, I thought that there just had to be some significance to the years 2017 and 2018.
Fourth Major Point: A friend discovered that November 29, 1947 and May 14, 1948 are in the same Hebrew year - 5708.
And notice that the Hebrew year 5777 has three 7's.
There has to be significant events in a Jewish year with three 7s the Trinity of Completion and Perfection.
5777 (And the number 5 usually stands for Grace.)
2017 and 5777 = 4 sevens
Fifth Major Point - Four 7's.... Four in the Hebrew language has the picture of a door associated with it! Wouldn't it be exciting if God is pointing to the Rapture Door! AND...
** I watched a video recently that pointed out that the number 4 is actually made from the number 17 ( a 1 and a 7). (The 7 is upside down.) Look at this " 4 " and you will see a one and an upside down 7.
A couple of years ago, I began to wonder if the November 29, 1947 date for the Jews is as significant as the May 14, 1948 date.
AND I noted that the November 1947 event plus 70 years takes us to 2017. That would mean:
1947 + 70 = 2017
1967 + 50 = 2017
I just don't see how 2017 can be insignificant on God's calendar for Israel.
It must mean something BIG!
I wonder if it will be the official announcement of the temple being rebuilt.
The Three Big Events of the Jewish People in recent history are November 29, 1947, May 14, 1948, and June 1967.
Also note that of those three big events - November 29, 1947 and May 14, 1948 are in the same "Jewish year" which was 5708.
5708
8 means new beginnings and God started a VERY NEW Thing and a VERY NEW TIME with Israel in 5708.
Next - Some thoughts on September 2017
Before I close, I will remind us that many people believe that the Big Sign given by God in the beginning of Revelation chapter 12 (of the woman) will be seen in the sky on September 23, 2017... There is that 2017 number again!
September 23, 2017 will be in the Jewish Days of Awe which are ten days starting with the Jewish New Year "Rosh Hashanah" (on September 21-22, 2017) and ending on Yom Kippur.
Sixth Major Point - It seems amazing and appropriate to me that a great sign will be seen in the Days of Awe in 2017.
Seventh Major Point - The Sabbath day that occurs during the Days of Awe is always called the Shabbat Shuvah and it means the Sabbath of Return. That day the Scripture reading is about repentance and returning to God. That is a very special day to observant Jews. In 2017, that day is September 23, 2017. The same day as the great Revelation 12 sign. I find that very interesting. And perhaps the sign in the sky will be somehow lit up on that day.
And so since Rosh Hashanah was two days earlier, the September 23, 2017 date will be in the new Jewish year of 5778.
The Jewish year 5778 begins September 21-22, 2017
5708 to 5778 is 70 years.
5708 was a big new beginning for the Jews.
What kind of new thing - could - 5778 hold for the Jews?
Lots for me to ponder with all of that.
The 8th Major Point - Genesis chapter 17 is where God makes a covenant with Abraham. 1 Thessalonians 4:17 is the rapture.
Revelation 2:17....is addressed to him that overcomes
And the last chapter of the Bible - Revelation 22 verse 17 - "And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely."
All of this is exciting to me - and - I bet it excites lots of Doves too!
Im a bride who is eager for the bridegroom!
Signed
Mary the eager bride!
