Dear
Marilyn,
Thank you so much for your comments. This also gives
me the opportunity to tell you that one of the first
prophecy books that I ever purchased was your book, The
End of the Age. (It was a very thought
provoking and well researched book.) So, many years
later, when I discovered Five Doves, it was a thrill to
find you posting here. It is so nice to witness your
faithfulness and consistency in the Lord.
It sure sounds like those 2 icons are more than a
coincidence since they have a logical connection to the
planets you were typing.
With regard to the number 120, I suspect that there is
something more significant about it pattern-wise.
Unfortunately, I’m terrible at speculating on patterns
involving numbers. I did a quick internet search the
other day and found some additional places where the
number 120 shows up in the Bible.
Moses was 120 years old when he died (Deuteronomy
34:7); and the people entered the Promised Land after his
death. He was also 40 days up the mountain getting
the 10 Commandments (Exodus 24:18), 40 days fasting after
he broke the tablets (Deuteronomy 9:18), and 40 days back
up the mountain to get the replacement tablets (Exodus
34:28). That makes a total of 120
days. Also, it is thought that it took Noah 120
years to build the Ark based upon Genesis 6:3: “Then the Lord said, ‘My Spirit
will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his
days will be a hundred and twenty years.’”
So, when someone on this site mentioned that the Yom
Kippur War was 40 years ago, I looked to see if anything
significant happened at the 40 year marks of the last 120
years. I did not find a clear cut event in 1893 –
although it was during the First Aliyah (1882-1903) when
the Jews were returning to Israel. (There was also a
financial crises called the Panic of 1893, but that was in
America.) 1933 was the year that Adolph Hitler
became Chancellor in Germany. 1973, of course, was
when the Yom Kippur War occurred. So, perhaps
something significant will happen to the Jews in 2013.
I also found out that the number 144,000 is 120 x
1200 – which is the number of the 144,000 Jews. Over
the past few years, I have become convinced that the
earthquake of the 6th Seal is the timing for
the Rapture. Revelation 7 comes right after the
breaking of that seal, and we find both the sealing of the
144,000 Jews on earth, and a great multitude in heaven
holding palm branches. In Leviticus 23:40, branches
are cut as part of the celebration of the Feast of
Tabernacles: “On the
first day you are to take choice fruit from the trees,
and palm fronds, leafy branches and poplars, and rejoice
before the Lord your god for seven days.”
So, this could confirm the timing of the 6th
Seal (and possibly the Rapture).
The number of people who returned to Jerusalem after
Israel’s 70 years of captivity in Babylon was
42,360. See Ezra 2:1 and 64. The number 42,360
is 120 x 353. The purpose of their return
was to rebuild the Temple. See Ezra 1:3. And
in the seventh month, they built an altar and began to
offer burnt offerings. “Then
in accordance with what is written, they celebrated the
Feast of Tabernacles with the required number of burnt
offerings prescribed for each day.” Ezra 3:4.
So, there seems to be more dots that can be connected with
regard to the number 120 as a possible pattern for
something. But, as I said before, patterns with
numbers are not my strong suit. But I am hopeful
that something prophetically significant will happen soon.
God bless you.
