This is just what immediately rose up in my spirit when reading your post. First,  44 is the number of judgement. That being said, I felt the message that the Lord was conveying through the plate is.........  Market Crash, then Judgement follows.
 
Which is in direct connection to the rapture, with the Biblical sequence of "Sudden Destruction, then the rapture"
 
This is just what I felt lead to write. Please take it to the Lord in prayer.
 
 
God Bless, YsiC
