"Escaping the DRAGON"
Dear Doves,

This is Part 2 to my post "Escaping the SNARE" (see link).

At the Rapture, we Leave the World Behind, possibly in the midst of utter chaos, Civil War, nuclear WW3, Disease X, economic collapse -- that is, the necessary chaotic start to the Tribulation -- the preconditions for the Antichrist to rise like a phoenix from the ashes.

Or ..... is it more like a rising dragon instead of a rising phoenix?

In the New Testament, there are 13 mentions of "dragon", exclusively found in the Book of Revelation -- all referring to "that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world" (Rev 12:9).

The Antichrist is the right hand man of the Devil, "the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority" (Rev 13:2); he is one with the dragon, the image of the dragon if you will.

At some point in the near apocalyptic future (very near now!), the dragon and his angels will be cast out of heaven and come down to earth. I believe this will happen after the Rapture when the saints are removed and total war is declared between Lucifer and Michael. In fact, Lucifer and the fallen angels will be booted out of heaven by Michael and his angels as the fallen ones are obviously no match for God's heavenly army (Rev 12:9).

Before a war breaks out, the usual protocol of all warring states is to first evacuate their ambassadors from the enemy's territory. Likewise, we, the ambassadors for Christ (2Cor 5:20), will first be removed before the fury of the dragon is unleashed upon the inhabitants of the world.

"Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time." (Rev 12:12)


The RED Dragon

It is interesting that the first mention of dragon in the New Testament is the RED dragon (Rev 12:3). Today, China is known as the Land of the Red Dragon. In Imperial China, only the emperors were allowed to wear the dragon robe. The symbol of dragon was strictly reserved for use by the emperor only. Many among the Chinese people consider Huang Di (Yellow Emperor) and Yan Di (Flame Emperor) as their common ancestors, and refer to themselves as "the descendants of the Dragon".

2024 is the Year of the Dragon according to the Chinese calendar. Is there any prophetic significance?

If you think about it, when it comes to the symbol of dragon, more specifically the RED dragon, only China fits the description.

For reasons which I am going to share below, I believe I have received a personal sign from God that points to the Year of the Dragon as a significant prophetic year; it may even be the Year of Our Escape!

A year after I started the 5 Doves web site, I was in a very bad car accident. On that fateful day, I drove my car out for lunch with two work colleagues of mine. After lunch, on our way back to the workplace, a car collided into the rear of my car as I was making a U-turn. The back of my car was totally wrecked. I suffered whiplash and everything, but worst of all, when my car was hit, my head went forward and knocked against the car roof above the windscreen. The impact on my head was so great that I lost my memory for close to a day. In the hospital, when the doctor asked me to write my name on a piece of paper, I failed to do so as I just could not remember anything including my name. I was basically babbling non-stop without control, a clear sign of mental impairment due to a nerve problem (apparently none of my deep secrets were leaked out! ;) When told by the doctor I had to be warded for observation, I even responded in jest and asked whether the ward was 5-star hotel room standard. The doctor must have rolled his eyes. 🙄

Since I could not remember a thing, that patch of my memory was totally lost. I had no idea how the collision occurred, how the three of us got out of the vehicle and waited by the roadside for ambulance to arrive, and how I even had an amusing conversation with the doctor. Thankfully my two colleagues only sustained minor injuries and were discharged from the hospital on the day itself; but I had to be warded overnight for observation.

When I came to in the early hours of the morning the next day, I was gripped with emotion and wept. I figure the LORD was not done with me yet. Some of you 'ancient' doves might recall that incident 26 years ago. After I was discharged from the hospital, the first thing I tried to do when I reached home, was to log onto my web account to post a message to the Doves; but I was struggling to recall my password! Feeling a little panicky at first but I managed to log in eventually and all was well.

Hey John, where are you going with this?

Be patient, doves, my fellow watchers. :)

The car accident happened in the year 1998; that is 666+666+666 !!! The date was February 10.

This year the Year of the Dragon falls on February 10 !!!!!!

Coincidence perhaps?

Consider this, going forward from 2024 for a 12-year cycle, no Chinese lunar new year begins on February 10. Going backward from 2024 all the way to 1998, only one Chinese lunar new year begins on February 10; and that is 2013 the Year of the SNAKE !!!!!!

The Red Dragon (2024) is that old Serpent, the Snake (2013) !!!

On February 10, 1998, I was attacked spiritually and physically by the dark forces of the evil one. Some personal problems weighed heavily on my mind that day. The wife of one of my colleagues who were my passengers in the car, commented that I was a "good" driver. My first reaction was one of bewilderment. I thought I would be blamed for causing injuries to their husbands. After I heard the explanation, I realized that we had a close shave with death.

What happened was, her husband was sitting next to me on the passenger side. The side window screen next to him shattered during collision. One sharp and sizeable piece of broken glass pointed menacingly at my colleague inches away from his neck. Furthermore, the car came to a halt right in front of a street lamp post not far from him. Had the car went forward a few more inches, my colleague would not have survived; instead, he only sustained light bruises.

My other colleague sitting in the back passenger seat bore the hit of the collision as he was in the direct line of force of the impact; he experienced lower back pain for quite a long time. I, the driver, was also in the direct line of collision; the impact caused my head to dash forward and hit the roof of the car that fortuitously has some cushioning layer. Imagine if my head were to shoot straight for the wind screen, I would probably not be writing this post now to tell you all about that near fatal accident. Praise God!

There is one more confirmation that is mind blowing.


My Car that Collided

Being a numbers man, I have always been intrigued by the number plate of my car that was involved in that accident; only now do I understand its significance 26 years later.

I owned that car until Y2K; as such, I can only remember the numeric, not the alpha part, of the car number plate.

The car number is 2808; how odd this is twice 1404, Strong's number for the Greek word, drakon, for dragon !!!!!!

Furthermore, this is the total of the JESUS code that I discovered end of last year (see link) !!!!!!!!

We first learn of the identity of the great dragon in the Bible in verse 9 of Revelation chapter 12, "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world".

This verse is a perfect job description of the Devil, the father of lies and deception. That old serpent will be bound for a thousand years in the Millennium, "that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season." (Rev 20:3)

"And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea." (Rev 20:7-8)

This is what the great dragon does best -- deceiving the nations.

Interestingly, my car was a Daihatsu Charade.

According to dictionary.com, words related to CHARADE are deception, farce, travesty, disguise, fake, make believe, mimicry, pageant, pantomime, parody, pretension, pretentiousness, put on, trick.

Wow!

Deception is Satan's hallmark; my car model, Daihatsu Charade, matches that to a T.

That old sly dragon is fully capable of putting on a charade, fooling the whole world, nations and kings, deceiving the unbelievers into calling black white and white black, and appearing as an angel of light in disguise.

I believe my car accident is a personal sign from God; from the car model, number plate, to the date and year of the accident that nearly ended my life and ministry, ALL seem to point to 2024 -- the Year of the Dragon.

The Devil is bent on destroying the world and causing human extinction by deception ("charade", "lies from the bottomless pit") and physical destruction ("nukes", "fatal car accident"), but God is going to thwart him and put him in his place, quite literally, in the lake of fire.

The saints will escape the claws of the dragon and be taken up at the Rapture to be with God in the land where there is no tear, no death, no pain, no sorrow, and no memory of the former things ("I could not remember my name, what happened, nothing, complete blank in my memory").


The Looming Civil War

The dragon sign led me to discover an intriguing hidden reference to Civil War in the Parable of the Prodigal Son in Luke chapter 15.

I would not have made the connection had I not first discovered the Jesus code. The Jesus code is a companion code to the Obama Cross. The total of the Jesus code, 1404, points to the dragon (Strong's G1404). The total of the Obama Cross, 811, points to asotos (Strong's G811), the Greek word for riotous.

No, don't get me wrong. In Luke chapter 15, the prodigal son did not start a riot and caused a civil war; but intriguingly, "And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living." (Luke 15:13)

A few centuries ago, America, the younger budding nation, left United Kingdom, the older empire, and journeyed into a far country, some 7,000 km away. Having inherited a rich culture and heritage, the younger nation quickly amassed great wealth and substance.

Today, America is in a clear and present existential danger of squandering all that it has built up. With an open border, the country is invaded by millions of illegal immigrants that will eventually destabilize its society and endanger its citizens. Acting as the policeman of the world, America has unwittingly spread itself thin militarily; it has become vulnerable to external mortal threats.

Riotous living is living in excess; I hope I am not offending anyone, but all developed nations are guilty of that, including the one I am hailing from. America, the epitome of capitalism and materialism, no doubt is right at the top in terms of consumption and living in excess.

One swallow does not a summer make; one riot does not a civil war make.

True. It seems a stretch to equate riot to civil war.

Not if the riot eventually erupts into a civil war. History appears to be on my side; a precedent has been set by America's first civil war no less.

One week after the start of the American Civil War in 1861, the Baltimore riot broke out. The then Mayor, George Brown, later assessed that, it was the Baltimore riot that pushed the two sides over the edge into full-scale war, "because then was shed the first blood in a conflict between the North and the South; then a step was taken which made compromise or retreat almost impossible; then passions on both sides were aroused which could not be controlled" (see link).

We have a potentially similar situation here with the ongoing Texas border crisis. The peaceful trucker convoy rally last weekend might have easily turned ugly and led to bloodshed on both sides, especially with a little help from bad actors slipping in the crowd and hijacking the event for evil intent. Think Jan 6th.

We will need to keep an eye on the Texas border standoff as it develops.


Snare of the Dragon

The deceiver of the nations, that old serpent, the red dragon, has been plotting for millennia for such a time as this. The Devil's modus operandi for our times is likely the same one he will be using for his last desperate act in deceiving the nations for the final battle of Gog and Magog 1,000 years from now; "And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea." (Rev 20:7)

The two recent wars that are still ongoing, the Ukraine war and the Gaza war, are Satan's shot across the bow, to gather the nations together to battle. The snare has been set -- the Oct 7th attack -- the spark that set off the Middle East powder keg that will eventually engulf the region/world into all out war.

The Greek word pagis for SNARE, spoken of by Jesus in Luke 21:35, is Strong's 3803. This is the key word that points to the hidden prophecy in Psalm 124:7, that may find fulfillment in 2024.

In the Strong's Concordance, the word SNARE is listed as word #12477 (including the 8674 Hebrew words in the Old Testament: #12477 = H8674 + G3803); its leading digits clearly show the CV (chapter-verse) number of Psalm 124:7 !!!!!!

This is supernatural !!!

Next, if you were to add 3803 ("snare") to the verse number of Luke 21:35 ("snare"), v25862, you would land on v29665, the famous scripture, 2 Thess 2:3; this verse spells out the two signs of the imminent Rapture -- the falling away/apostasy and the revealing of the man of sin/son of perdition.

Verses 3 and 4 of 2 Thess 2 form a complex sentence since there is no full stop between the two verses.
2 Thess 2:3,4 "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."
The numbers associated with these two verses are very interesting. 1) 2 Thess 2:3 points to the year 2023 and 2 Thess 2:4 points to the year 2024; and 2) verse 4 is v29666, a composite number that represents apostasy/departure (number 29) and the Antichrist (number 666) -- the two signs prior to the Rapture.

2 Thessalonians chapter 2 is chapter 1118 of the Bible. The number 1118 is the standard Hebrew gematria of mene, mene, tekel, upharsin -- the handwriting on the wall!

In 2022, Putin sent a simple message to the world when Russia invaded Ukraine -- Pax Americana is coming to an end. In 2023, Iran and the Axis of Resistance, decided to start the mother of all wars when Hamas invaded southern Israel and committed a monstrous genocide on Oct 7.

Barely one month into the new year 2024, more and more countries are gathered together to battle as prophesied in the Bible.

2024 appears to live up to its hype.

The two signs that I received from God, the dragon sign and the riot sign, are linked to the word SNARE (G3803)!

1513 (Riot; CV of Luke 15:13) +  988 (Riot; chapter number of Luke 15) + 123 (Dragon; CV of Rev 12:3) + 1179 (Dragon; chapter number of Rev 12) = 3803 (Snare)

Doves, we will enter into 2024 Year of the Dragon in three days' time on February 10 !!!!


A Tale of Two Movies

The unbelieving world dismisses predictive programming as BS made up by conspiracy theorists. I am not a movie buff, but the two movies that are currently the talk of the town appear to be precisely that -- predictive programming; the movies are Leave the World Behind and Civil War.

The first movie was produced by Obama the Antichrist; the second movie is directed by Alex Garland and to be distributed by A24. In both movies, America finds itself in the midst of a total collapse due to coup and civil war.

The predictive programming is evident in the chilling three-stage maneuver detailed in Obama's movie: " ...A simple three-stage maneuver that could topple a country's government from within. The first stage is isolation. Disable their communication and transportation. Make the target as deaf, dumb and paralyzed as possible, setting them up for the second stage. Synchronized chaos. Terrorize them with covert attacks and misinformation, overwhelming their defense capabilities, leaving their weapon systems vulnerable to extremists and their own military. Without a clear enemy or motive, people would start turning on each other. If done successfully, the third stage would happen on its own. Coup d'état. Civil war. Collapse. ..."

Whether Obama is the hidden hand behind the second movie, Civil War, I am not sure; but I will let the numbers below do the talking and you decide.
Knowing the above incredible numbers leaves one wonders if the release dates of these two movies are intentionally timed.


Escaping in 2024

I will end with one more incredible coincidence with regards to our escaping in 2024.

In Part 1, "Escaping the SNARE" (see link), I searched the words snare* and escape* within a single chapter in the KJV Bible. Psalm 124:7 turns out to be the most focused verse with a search count of four hits: twice snare and twice escape. What was not mentioned in the first post is this: Jeremiah 48 is the most focused chapter, also with a search count of four hits: also twice snare and twice escape !!

Jeremiah 48 is chapter 793 of the Bible; 793 is the standard English gematria of Barack Hussein Obama!

Are there connections between Psalm 124 and Jeremiah 48? Yes, there are!

1) There are 191 chapters between them: ch 793 - ch 602 = 191 chapters. The number 191 is the ordinal Hebrew gematria of mene, mene, tekel, upharsin -- the handwriting on the wall !!!

2) The chapter number of Jeremiah 48 points to the birthday of Obama on 4th of Aug or 4-8. The chapter number of Psalm 124 points to the birth year of Obama: '61 (6=2+4; 1).

I say all that in the above to say this: there are also 191 chapters between the sign of the red dragon and the sign of riot !!!!!!

ch 1179 (Rev 12; dragon sign) - ch 988 (Luke 15; riot sign) = 191

Will we escape from the snare spoken of by Jesus in Luke 21:35 (Psalm 124:7) in 2024 -- the Year of the Dragon -- when the world's superpower is likely to be embroiled in a civil war possibly triggered by riot(s)?

I sure hope so!

Come Lord Jesus !!

John
