Just a note of thanks, Tina, for your post on the number #381.

 

For reference, Tina’s post today refers the the ‘caricature’ posted on the ‘Doves’ by Frank Molver that depicts a ‘warrior/soldier’ with the number #381 on his back.  The number #381 is located inside the #1.

 

Tina, your study from the Hebrew/Greek Strong’s Dictionary revealed that: #381 means; “a man of might... or a valiant man”.

 

As I read your post this morning (9/4), immediately the phrase ‘mighty men of valor’ came to my mind along with the phrase “the manifest sons of God”.  The #381 located inside the #1 could be referring to the manifest sons of God, representing Him in the earth during the tribulation times.

 

I have long believed (and have posted on the ‘Doves’) that the release of “the manifest sons of God” is the next event on God’s calendar.  Is the release of the sons of God an isolated event or timed to be simultaneous with the rapture?  I don’t know!

 

It is my personal opinion that the bride of Christ will be raptured first; prior to the ‘church proper’ that will be taken later.  Is it possible that the sons of God will prepare and protect the church from the enemy during the tribulation as they await their impending rapture?

 

God took a bride for (the 1st Adam) from the body of Adam.  In like manner, He may take a bride for (the 2nd Adam – Christ) from the Body of Christ.

 

Eve (the bride of Adam) was created from a small part of Adam’s body.  Might this indicate that the bride of Christ will be created from a small part of the Body of Christ?  Again, I don’t know for sure!  What I do know ...is that Christ is not coming back for a ‘harlot bride’ but a bride who is “faithful and true”.
