Readers- It's not hard to understand that a certain number means many things in the Bible. For instance, the number 393, which I have posted about a few times. go here: http://www.biblewheel.com//GR/GR_Database.php?SearchBy_Gematria=393 and you can see how many different words have an in-text value of 393. That sites lists 37. so, its hard to reach conclusions - but with the Lord's help certain patterns emerge. Using cross-number systems analysis, 393 seems associated with the AC. I theorize he is a Syrian, his mother is an Egyptian, and that he is a son of Ishmael. In addition, my take on it is that he "appears" when the Catching Away happens. In that list above, three verses interest me - Luke 3:22 "And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." The word Descend is Katabaino 2597g, a common word, but used in 1 Thess 4:16, The Lord Himself shall descend .... also Acts 23:10 "And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle." "Take him by force" is actually the word Harpazo Strong's 726g, same as in 1 Thess 4:17 = Caught Up (Rapture). lastly Hosea 5:8 "Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin." Trumpet 2689h also is a 393 word. 1 Thess 4:16, "...the Trumpet of God" is mentioned as being blown when the Lord Descends. That connects the Harpazo, the Descending, and a trumpet to 393. *** Jesus is Lord
