""More Than Fireworks On The 4th Of July?!""


 

Hi Doves,             On my last post, Benny(11 June 2012) Randy RE:"2012 Rosh Hashanah Rapture" and Where Are We On God's Timeline?", I stated my reasons for marking July 4th and Rosh Hashanah, Sept.16th-18th,2012 as extremely high Rapture watch dates. Today's post will focus on the July 4th,2012 watch date. It's a little lenghty,but if you hang in there you just might discover some thought-provoking,if not critical information.If Daniel's 70th Week did indeed begin on Jan. 20,2009 with Obama's Presidential inauguration,then July 4th,2012 becomes a huge date since it marks the mid-point. If we add 2520 days(7 years) to Jan. 20,2009, it takes us to Dec.14,2015(the 8th day of Hanukkah)-calculating by the Gregorian calendar. Ironically, on the same day I posted my last article, I came across another article on FiveDoves emphasizing July 4th-7th as a Rapture watch date; "Jean Stepnoski(11 June 2012) "Days 40 and 41: From Shavuot(Pentecost) To Golden Calf". Jean links Pentecost with the Mosaic Marriage Covenant. In the Book of Exodus there are 40 days from Pentecost, when the Mosaic Marraige was made and consummated between YHVH and those of the 12 tribes of Israel. Pentecost 2012 was on 5-26/27. Day 40 begins on sunset July 4th, beginning Tammuz 15 at sunset, the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Thew date of July 4,1776 was Tammuz 17-the Biblical number for Victory. According to Jewish custom, marriages may take place until Tammuz 16. The days of Tammuz 17(starting on July 6th at sunset) to Av 9, marriages are not permitted. So we are directed to the time-frame of July 4th-7th as significant watch dates. Then I read about an incredible dream on the RITA(Rapture In The Air Now) website entitled: "This Dream Will Wake Up A Weary Bride!" (Lori M.)-she was looking up at the sky, and started to see the most amazing fireworks ever...."and somehow they showed brighter than at night! It's almost as if the sky was a huge hdtv screen but without boundaries. I was so excited! I have never felt this way in my whole life! I absolutely knew, wiyhout a shadow of a doubt that the Lord was coming.......When we went back outside I saw a huge American flag in the sky. I saw the red, the white, and the blue so much more! I saw pure HD sparkles nd jewels all over the sky and especially the flag. The response of another "RITA NOW member "Jan" to Lori's dream also caught my eye. Quoting from Jan--"Maybe the fireworks are indicating the 4th of July and rapture on or about!....I wonder if the fireworks were a lightening show in heaven....like Scripture says.....lightening flashing from east to west....The flag part with sparkles and jewels all over the sky and on the flag....something is up for us....rapture of saints living here and maybe war happening at the same time. Scripture saying when they say peace and safety....then sudden destruction...we are not appointed to wrath... raptured out of here as war starts on our soil." I realize that we need to exercise caution when it comes to dreams and visions, as well as their interpretations. However, I do believe God still operates through dreams and visions, and perhaps this dream/interpretation will come to pass--we will shortly find out. Turning to the subject of the signs in the Heavenlies(Biblical Astronomy), the Transit of Venus yields some very interesting( if not amazing) timelines. There are many prophecy students, myself included, that believe the Transit of Venus displays a picture of the Rapture of the Church, along with the soon-to-follow Great Tribulation Period. For an excellent in-depth article on the subject, connect to : "Luis Vega(1 March 2012) "The Transit of Venus/ A Picture of a 'Rapture'-a Snatching Away". Here's some food for thought concerning the 2012 Transit of Venus: (1) Venus at MIDPOINT (July 7) from Transit start June 5, to Aug 8 Orion in OR164-(Jean Stepnoski's time-line of July4th-July 7th).   (2) From Venus in Orion(OR164) to Rosh Hashanah (Aug 9-Sept 16=40 days)--"40"-the Biblical number of testing and probation.  (3) From Pentecost plus 40 days (May 26 +40=July 4th(2012).   (4) From the end of the 2nd day of Pentecost to when Venus reaches the end of the retrograde and arrives at the end of the Horns of Taurus, it will be July 4th(2012). So, once again, we are confronted with signs that apparently point to 2 very significant time-frames, July 4th-7th and Sept 16th-18th(2012)!                 Even so, come Lord Jesus!      ybiC -Benny.
