April 26, 2012 Gary Stearman and Islamic Forces Update
It is my contention ever since the beginning of the Arab Spring that the results of these revolutions and upheavals will be the imposition of Islamic radical dictatorship in all these countries and that this would lead to the end time scenario in the prophecies of the Bible. Little known to these people are the strings that are being pulled in the background without their knowledge. These strings are used to place all the Islamic world into a war against Israel.
From this war the manipulators behind the scenes are hoping that Israel will be debilitated or destroyed completely so that they can easily impose a one world government.
In the video by Mr. Stearman he starts with the role of the USA Obama administration in the recognition of the peaceful Muslim Brotherhood that must be supported and recognized. It is the ultimate affront that will be committed against Israel and the descendants of Ishmael that have align themselves against Israel and the God of Israel.
As in many articles before it is my believe that Obama will become the Antichrist of the Apocalypse and it is in this role that he is laying out the groundwork for his complete control of the World.
The prophecies read in the video tell of the complete destruction that will be meted to the forces of Islam at that time.

March 29, 2012 Are Moses and Elijah Coming on Passover to Start The Seven Year Long Tribulation? Resurrection-Rapture in Easter?
Again we are reminded of the times we are in. In the e-mail I received today from a close friend we see the Bible Code and the Jewish Rabbi’s reaching the conclusion that their Messiah will be announced with the appearing of the prophet Elijah on Passover of 2012. In the article below the writer comments on this subject and states that with Elijah we shall also see the other witness Moses. He also states that the Resurrection and Rapture will occur in Easter which this year also corresponds to the Jewish Feast of First Fruits.
It has long been my opinion that the two witnesses will make their appearance on the first day of the seven year (2520 days) long Tribulation. In my opinion we are already well into the limit of time set by the Bible prophecies regarding the start of the Tribulations. Not to long to wait to see if this will play as told here.

IMPORTANT!
From Miriam:
A friend of mine who has contacts in Israel just told me that many rabbis and others there– strongly believe what Rabbi Matityahu Glazerson has been saying is true……. that the ” Redemption of Israel ” will finally come to Israel beginning this Pesach ,( Passover ) in 2012 .
Because the ” religious Jews ” know that God promised them Elijah just before the Day of the Lord begins, as in Malachi 4, and even Rabbinical Judaism expect him to show up during Pesach ( Passover )… THEY WILL NOT BE SURPRISED when they find out that Elijah and Moses have indeed come to Israel ( as the Body of Christ is secretly leaving Earth! ).
The Two Witnesses will again be preaching ” the Gospel of the Kingdom ” – which is composed of “the Law ( Moses ) and the Prophets ” ( Elijah )…. “Let THEM ( Israel ) hear THEM ” ( the Witnesses ), as in Luke 16:29 , 2 Kings, 17:13, Matt 22:40, Luke 16:16, Luke 24:44, Acts 24:14. The Tribulation opens back under the dispensation of the Law , extending through to the end of the Day of the Lord at the end of the Millennium .
We should all have known all along – as believers – that there is NO other season , no other Feast , no other day and no other time for the Day of the Lord to open except during the 7 day feast of Pesach – during the Feast of Firstfruits , when ” the single sheaf of the firstfruits of barley is presented to the Father, at which time the ” Bride’s fruits ” will be examined and rewarded at the morning sacrifice at the Bema of Christ !
Pesach ( Passover ) is the Only time national Israel is in expectation to see the arrival of Elijah!
Miriam
( Note: from Tom G. )……. Below is a link to a youtube video with Rabbi Glazerson in Israel who has found a Bible Code relating to this coming Passover season in 2012 . The Bible Code shows that Israel’s ” redemption ” will finally come and begin during Passover season this year.
IMPORTANT : Something you all need to remember here about the Jewish rabbis and the Jewish people at large in Israel. They don’t believe in ” Yeshua ” yet so when they say or talk about the ” messiah ” coming this year durin Passover they are actually talking about the ” second advent ” ( in context ) and they are NOT taling about the Rapture of the Church which they do not believe in.

Addendum below : from Tom Gaston
( Check out the amazing Hebrew gematria phrase below which I found today dealing with the ” Church , Resurrection , First fruits , and an Earthquake ).
I believe that there is going to be an Earthquake at the time of the resurrection / Rapture . I also believe that this is how God is going to ” take out ” Israel’s enemies and their ” infrustructure ” and immoblize them at the opening of the ” Day of the Lord .” The ” Day of the Lord ” comes as ” sudden destruction ” upon Israel and the world (1 Thess. 5:3 ).
Iran has buried most of all their Nuclear facilities ” under ground ” right where they are suppose to be as far as I am concerned. All God has to do now in order to STOP Iran’s nuclear program is just SHAKE THE HELL OUT OF THE EARTH in Iran ( Which is very earthquake active anyway ) and their whole nuclear program would be stopped, shut down, and destroyed in an instant by the Hand of God as the collapse of the earth and the violent shaking during such an Earthquake would most definitely destroy those facilities under ground. That’s all God has to do to shut’em down!
Also, I believe that Damascus at that time could very well be leveled by an Earthquake , which could possibly fulfill the Isaiah 17:1,2 prophecy concerning the ” destruction of Damascus .” All God has to do is just violently shake the earth at the time of the resurrection / Rapture / opening of the Day of the Lord / and this whole threat against Israel in Psalm 83 will have been stopped by the hand of God in a ” blink of an eye ” at the time of our departure. This could certainly fulfill the Isaiah 17:1 prophecy which states that the ancient city of Damascus will become a ” ruinous heap .” The Bible does NOT say how Damascus will be destroyed? but an earthquake is most definitely one likely way God may do it? Such an Earthquake would destroy buildings, communication systems, military facilities……etc…etc.
Isaiah 17:1 ….The burden of Damascus . Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap .
Because I believe that there is going to be a an ” earthquake ” at the time of the resurrection / Rapture , which God could very well use to bring about confusion and destruction in order to stop this all out attack on the nation of Israel. I therefore decided to see if I could find a Hebrew gematria phrase with the term ” Earthquake ” which would point to First fruits in the year 2012 .
And to my surprise I did find one!
The Church, First fruits resurrection and the earthquake / Hay = 5 / Kaph = 20 Nun = 50 Sameck = 60 Yod = 10 Yod = 10 Hay = 5 / Beth = 2 Kaph = 20 Vav = 6 Resh = 200 Yod = 10 Mem {final letter} = 600 / Tau = 400 Cheth = 8 Yod = 10 Yod = 10 Hay = 5 / Vav = 6 / Hay = 5 / Resh = 200 Ayin = 70 Shin = 300 / total = 2012
Matthew 28:1 – 3 …………”Now after the sabbath , as it began to ” dawn ” toward the first day of the week , Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave………..And behold, a ” severe earthquake ” had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it…….And his appearance was like lightning, and his garment as white as snow;”
Notice the chapter and verse of the gospel of John below.
John 20:12 ………….”And she beheld two angels in white sitting, one at the head , ( He is the Beginning – the Aleph / Alpha ) and one at the feet ( He is the END – the Tau / Omega ), where the body of Jesus ” Had ” ( past tense ) been lying.”
Now lets make an interesting observation here.
Christ is the ” Head ” of the Church and the ” Church ” represents His feet which carry the gospel message of the ” good news ” of His gospel which is the death, burial, and resurrection .
Romans 10:15 …….How will they preach unless they are sent ? Just as it is written, “ HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS !”
Ephesians 1:22 ……And He put all things in subjection under His feet , and gave Him as head over all things to the church .
Colossians 1:18 …….He is also head of the body , the church ; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead , so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.
I Can hardly wait for Easter / First fruits to get here as it could very well be the time of our departure this year folks?
In Christ, Tom Gaston

March 17, 2012 Islam the Antichrist and the Rapture all in this 2012!
A lot of material has been written about Psalm 83 and Mr. Jim Bram;ett gives us a very realistic view at this very important Psalm 83.
Many have argued that the Antichrist will arise from the Islamic world, but the prophets of Israel have clearly stated the destruction of the Islamic nations and the complete victory of the Antichrist for the seven years allotted to him by God.
Islam will disappear to be substituted by the worship of the Antichrist and his false religion. Mr. Bramlett successfully argues that the Rapture of the Church must happen before the seven years of Tribulation and I concur with this opinion. It looks that this is the year.

“Why there is no war mentioned in Psalm 83“
There are many today who are speaking of a “coming war“, which they say is mentioned in Psalm 83. Despite this “rumor” the real reality is that the psalmist “never” mentions any war taking place in this Psalm 83, but he only reveals the “plot” of Israel’s enemies in Psalm 83 who are planning her annihilation as a nation.
( Psalm 83:4 – 8 )……”They have said,, “Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation; That the name of Israel be remembered no more.”……….For they have conspired together with one mind; Against “Thee ” ( the God of Israel ) do they make a covenant; The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites; Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assyria also has joined with them; They have become a help to the children of Lot.”
Question: Is there any language in this text which suggests that there is a “war” taking place here in Psalm 83?
Answer: NO!
Notice that in this Psalm the enemies of Israel are ONLY making a “covenant” with one another and they are “plotting and planning out” Israel’s destruction only. But nowhere within this text does it ever show nor mentioned that this “plot” which they are planning among themselves is ever carried out! As a matter of fact the Psalmist is asking God to “step in” and intervene on behalf of Israel in order to “stop” the destruction of Israel. Look at the text below.
( Psalm 83:9 – 18 )
….”Deal with them ( God ) as with Midian, as with Sisera and Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon………..who were destroyed at En-dor, Who became as dung for the ground…………..Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, And all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,……….Who said, “Let us possess for ourselves the pastures of God.”……………O my God, make them like the whirling dust; Like chaff before the wind,…………..Like fire that burns the forest, And like a flame that sets onfire ,………..So pursue them with “Thy tempest“, And terrify them with “Thy storm.”……….Fill their faces with dishonor, That they may seek Thy name, O Lord,…………Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever;………..And let them be humiliated and perish,………..That they may know that Thou alone, whose name is the Lord, Art the Most High over all the earth.”
Question:…..Who is intervening here, and who is the one pursuing Israel’s enemies?
Answer: God is “directly!” ( This happens “inside” the “Day of the Lord ).
You will notice that the psalmist does NOT suggest, nor does he ask Israel herself to rise up and destroy her enemies which are listed. And neither is he requesting that any “nation or nations” should intervene on the behalf of Israel. But instead the text shows clearly that God will pursue and destroy Israel’s enemies “inside” the “Day of the Lord” Himself. How do I know this? I know this because you have to go back and read the last verse of Psalm 82:8, which “precedes” the opening of Psalm 83.
Psalm 82:8……..” Arise, O God, judge the earth! For it is Thou who dost possess all the nations.”
This begs us to ask the following question:
Question: Can God arise and judge the earth while the Church is still here????
Answer: Absolutely NOT! The following verses I have listed below shows clearly that the members of the “body of Christ” are NOT appointed unto the wrath of God, nor shall they ever experience God’s wrath and judgments at anytime according to the following Scriptures: ( Rom. 5:9, 8:1; 1 Thess. 1:10, 5:9; Rev. 3:10 ).
Since God cannot begin His “judgment program / Day of the Lord ” UNTIL the Church has been removed from the earth, then it is clear that Psalm 82:8 is revealing that the Church has had to have already been “removed from the earth” at the time in which this “plot and plan” of Psalm 83 is already “in the works“, and of which will be foiled, interrupted, and stopped by the very hand of God Himself at that time when He removes His Church. Then begins the “Day of the Lord.” You can see that the psalmist in Psalm 82:8 is asking God Himself to arise and judge the earth. Then he goes right into Psalm 83 and reveals the plan of Israel’s enemies who are plotting her destruction.
Listen carefully! The opening of Psalm 83 reveals to us “why“ the psalmist in Psalm 82:8 is asking God to…….“Arise, O God, judge the earth.“ It is because of what he reveals is being “planned and plotted out” against Israel in Psalm 83.
Psalm 83:1- 3………….”O God, do NOT remain quiet ; Do NOT be silent , and, O God, do NOT be still ………..For behold, Thine enemies make an uproar; And those who hate Thee have exalted themselves…….They make shrewd plans against Thy people, and conspire toegther against Thy treasured ones.”
The opening of Psalm 83 reveals that the “Day of the Lord” has to open up in order for God to arise and “deal directly” with His and Israel’s enemies and save the nation ( 83:9-18 ). This cannot and will not happen UNTIL Israel is “inside” the “Day of the Lord.” And the “Day of the Lord” cannot happen UNTIL the “resurrection / Rapture” of the Church has taken place. God at this present time is NOT dealing directly with Israel and her enemies like He did in the Old Testament when He was calling out the nation of Israel unto Himself, but instead He is “setting the stage” and allowing Israel’s enemies to continue their evil plot as He Himself is “setting them up” for destruction by His own hand! God is allowing this so that His prophetic word can be “fulfilled” in Psalm 83.
So, what does this mean then? It means that the “evil plan” of Israel’s enemies in Psalm 83 which is being “planned out” right now will NEVER COME TO PAST! Israel is NOT going to be destroyed as God is NOT going to allow her enemies to do so. For if God allowed this evil Arab plot to succeed, then It would disrupt and destroy God’s prophetic plan for Israel. He can NEVER let this happen!
The news coming out of the “Middle East” right now at the present time is revealing that Israel and the United States relations are taking a turn for the worst! Israel’s back is “against the wall” as Iran is steaming fast ahead with her nuclear program. Time is running out and Israel wants to attack Iran and do “infrustructure” damage to their nuclear facilities before they can produce a nuclear weapon, but the United States and the international community is NOT supporting nor backing Israel’s desire to take out targets in Iran. The clock is ticking! So Israel is damned if she does and she is damned if she doesn’t. We are watching the plot and plan of Psalm 83 right now folks! It’s happening right now! The Rapture has to be AT THE DOOR and it looks like more and more that we may very well be leaving this planet THIS YEAR as the “Iran crisis” will NOT wait another year!
The reality is this, that Israel needs the US. air and ground support ( which we are not agreeing to give them ) in order to carry out such a task! They need our refueling jets, radar, ships, and submarine support…..etc. in order to succeed. But the US., Europe, and the UN. are not backing Israel. And while this is happening the terrorist organizations are continuing to stock pile weapons and military hardware as they are planning for an all out “missile war” against Israel.
Lebanon alone has 50 to 60,000 missiles along her border alone and the leader of the Hizbullah ( Nasrallah ) has already stated that they are preparing for a “missle war” against Israel in order to wipe them out with one giant swoop! This does NOT include Syria and Iran’s capability combined along with the stockpiles down in Gaza. The picture is “very grim” for Israel right now! She has NEVER been in this kind of dilemma in the past, but now she is! This is a HUGE SIGN for us folks that we have reached THE END!
So, are you getting the picture here! God cannot allow thousands , upon thousands , upon thousands of missles to come from every direction and wipe out the nation of Israel. HE WILL NEVER ALLOW IT HAPPEN! Israel has a powerful military, but she cannot take on all of her enemies all at once in the whole middle east at this time by themselves as they are surrounded with their backs to the Mediterranean Sea!
What Israel is facing today in the middle east is like NOTHING that they have ever faced in the past! Israel cannot pull off such a task today by herself as the middle east is more complex and dangerous than it has ever been! The enemies of Israel have risen up and have been stockpiling missiles and armament to the point that they now feel confident that they can pull off the task of wiping her off the face of the map! Israel’s “back door” is now open ( Sinai / Egypt) as the “Sadat / Begin” Egyptian / Israeli peace agreement is now cancelled due to the fall of Mubarak in Egypt.
Do you now understand where we are at today prophetically!
Israel at this time has no true support nor any friend to “raise a finger” in order to help her. The economies of the world are “broke” and unable to finance such a war and undertaking. Therefore, such a dilemma means that God is going to have to….”arise and judge the earth“ as stated in Psalm 82:8 in order to save Israel from Her enemies plot, which is prophesied in Psalm 83. The time is NOW! Israel, the US., Europe, and the world at large have RUN OUT OF TIME as the “Islamic giant“ has been preparing for this very hour and has now reared its ugly head in total confidence that it can wipe out the tiny nation of Israel. But I have news for those of such arrogance! The Islamic nations have a rude awakening coming as GOD IS ABOUT TO REAR HIS RIGHTEOUS HEADand WIPE THEM OUT instead!
You can now see why Israel’s enemies WILL NOT SUCCEED in carrying out their plans which are mentioned in Psalm 83. And it is because God is going to “remove His Church” at the time that this “evil plot” against Israel is being “contrived“, which is taking place right now as I write! And God is going to “step in” and save Israel from an all out “missle war” which he cannot allow to take place as she would NOT survive as a tiny nation under such a horrific all out missile bombardment by her enemies.
In conclusion something else must be considered. We know that the Israeli military has a plan which they will initiate if they see that the nation is about to be destroyed. It is called the “Sampson Option.” If Israel sees that she is going to be wiped out, then she will pull out her “nuclear arsenal” and take out herself along with all of her enemies. THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN as God will also NOT allow Israel to “foil” His prophetic plans for the nation either.
Therefore there is NO war taking place in Psalm 83 as the text reveals clearly, but instead we see that God Himself is at “war” with Israel’s enemies, foils their plans and pursues them! What an incredible surprise is waiting for them! We are at the END folks and theplot by the Arab nations which is mentioned in Psalm 83 will NEVER be successful nor get off the ground as God is going to interrupt their plans by His hand when He removes His Church and then brings confusion and “sudden destruction” upon the Arab nations who are plotting Israel’s destruction.
They ( The Arabs ) and the world won’t know what hit them between the eyes when it happens!
I personally believe that time is up this year folks! Iran and the Middle East cannot wait another year without having Apocalyptic repercussions. Therefore, I believe, we have to go (in the rapture) this year by Spring as the Church is NOT here for the unfolding “seal judgments” which open up the “day of the Lord / tribulation hour!”
Even so Come Lord Jesus!

Jan 19, 2012 The wars at the beginning of the Apocalypse
Roberta posted a very interesting article concerning the Psalm 83 wars in comparison to the Ezekiel 38-39 wars and their timing. The article makes the point that two authors who wrote books on this subject have concluded that it has already happened and the other that it has not happened yet. At this point I am inserting the article and will make my observations after you can read it.

Jan 17, 2012 What the Muslim Brotherhood is planning for the Jews!
Gary Stearman makes a ten minutes news update that clarifies the rue intentions of the Palestinians and the Muslim Brotherhood.
That war is coming is obvious from all the news coming out of the middle east. That there are people in the USA that support Islam goes to show the decline that is engulfing this nation and the hand of God that will move in judgment for these and other equally detestable atrocities that are comon places in today’s society.
The time for the Rapture is equally seen as very close when all these prophetic scriptures are being fulfilled. May Jesus find His church spotless at His coming.

Jan 17, 2012 Tim Tebow scores analyzed
This post is about Tim Tebow and the game with the Patriots. You may agree or not with everything that Mathman has written, but there are very good observations to merit a close view of what is said.
My first observation to his main point of the Rapture and the sudden destruction occurring in Jan 28 has so many scriptural prophecies against it that I am unable to accept at face value. I have read Ron Reese’s articles and even his confirmation at the dentist and my conclusion is that it may be confirming what is planned by the NWO, but not necessarily the prophetic timeline of Jesus. In my humble opinion the Apocalypse has not started yet, but is very close to the start. January 28 may well be the day that we see the Psalm 83 and Isaiah 17 prophecies beginning to be fulfilled followed by Ezekiel 38-39. At what point is the Rapture to happen is only known to God, but scriptures seem to point around the festival of Pentecost, maybe of 2012.
Mathman analysis of the scores and his analogies to the NWO are very good and they may be on the money.
One statistic that is worth reviewing is the 9 passes for 136 yards that Tebow made. As pointed out 9 is the number for finality and the end. This number is the reason that I started bloging in 2008 when I saw a license plate 999 GOD that I interpreted a message from God to me to start going all out in what I thought and knew about prophecy. I ask Him for confirmation of this fact and was given it in the following days. The whole story can be read in my first posts in this blog.
The total yards of 136 has the same three numbers as 316 and as such it can also be interpreted to refer to the 316.
Mathman and Ron are both correct in identifying Obama as the Antichrist and Mathman’s observation about the message being given to the Jews was very good and valid.
Thank you Mathman for your excellent observations and conclusions.

“Only 11 More Days Left – IN LOP-SIDED DEFEAT, TEBOW DELIVERS ANOTHER HUGE MESSAGE FROM GOD!!!!!!!!!“
Dear Doves,
Are we now only 11 days away from Jesus snatching us from the earth just BEFORE the Sudden Destruction on January 28, 2012? I am as close to 100% as I can get on being sure that this will be THE day as it certainly appears that there is an EXTREMELY high probability for just such an event THAT DAY, much higher then I have mathematically seen for any other date, past or present. As usual, the wildcard is God’s grace and mercy and whether He chooses to delay this event for a time. However, God’s Word certainly makes it appear that this SHOULD be THE day that God’s patience with “Sodom & Gomorrah” finally ends.
Will I be making “analyzing” NFL Box Scores a habit?
Before I begin, I must clarify that I do not believe that intimate direction / communication by God at any sporting event is, by any means, normal. However, the extent to which this appeared to have happened in the last two Broncos games appears to be both conclusive AND completely unprecedented. This uniqueness, combined with the fact that the first of the two “miracle” Bronco games “just happened” to land on the “pre-advertised” January 8th warning watch date, makes me feel STRONGLY that it was a sign from God for us to view these games as instructions for us to “step on the gas pedal”. Indeed, I strongly believe that these two games were a direct sign from God that we are ALMOST at the end (January 28th) AND, AS ALWAYS, it is our precious Lord that is in COMPLETE control, NOT the NWO.
Please note that this will be only the second time I have EVER analyzed box scores from ANY sporting event (and most likely the last). Indeed, the only reason I personally believe that these two games warranted this analysis is that a man like Tebow, with his love for the verse that saves, John 3:16 and his BLATANT love for the Lord, is simply unprecedented and doesn’t come around every day. Especially given the lateness of the hour, and the belief that God is using Tebow to give the fallen world a “final altar call”, I therefore watched the game on Saturday, January 14, 2012 with an abundance of interest. Given the crushing by the Patriots, I became more and more disappointed by the game.
Then, when I later looked at the Box Score, I, at first slowly, started to realize that this lop-sided loss by the Broncos was EXACTLY how God wanted this game to go!!!!!!!
Recap of January 8, 2012 Broncos Game – The Seven “3:16”s!!
Indeed, after I looked over the Box Score for the Bronco-Patriots Game on Saturday, January 14, 2012, I became so excited by what I saw that sleep eluded me for quite some time! I was so excited that I sent an email to Five Doves as soon as I could to indicate that a message was coming on the message from God from this amazingly lop-sided victory by the Patriots. In other words, if you thought Saturday’s lop-sided Bronco loss didn’t have a silver lining, THINK AGAIN!!!!
However, before I go over the remarkable numbers from this second game, a recap of the Broncos first game on January 8, 2012 is necessary. On Sunday, January 8th, with God’s intimate assistance, Tebow delivered a powerful message to four separate groups of people that even the secular world couldn’t ignore the message:
- To a fallen world: To repent and accept Jesus before it’s too late (via John 3:16)
- To us watchers: That our redemption draws near and that we are running out of time to warn as many people about the upcoming Rapture / Sudden Destruction as possible (the Sudden Death in Sudden Death overtime)
- To the fence-walking lukewarm Christians in name only: Repent and draw near to Jesus before it is too late (via Revelation 3:16) and you are left behind
- To saved Christians that are not watching: IT’S TIME TO START WATCHING AND TO ACT NOW FOR THE TIME IS SHORT!! DO NOT FORFEIT THE CROWN FOR WATCHING AND LONGING FOR HIS SECOND COMING!!
The figures in this first game were nothing short of mind-blowing!! So much so, that even the secular world reported what they saw at length. And what they saw was no fewer than seven “3:16”s, referring to John 3:16 (the verse that saves), in the statistics. With that being, I must say that, quite simply, the figures from the box score in the second game were JUST AS AMAZING, although this time completely unnoticeable by the secular media.
If you have not read my article on Five Doves on this subject titled, Only 15 More Days Left – The ASTRONOMICAL odds of Tebow’s Stats!! (Also, Ron Reese’s Incredible Dentist Confirmation), I HIGHLY recommend it:
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/jan2012/mathman113-2.htm
However, just like they were blinded from seeing the vast imagery in the sudden death of sudden death overtime that points to our soon Rapture, with all signs pointing to January 28th, the media is now blind to the message from God that he sent to the last group of people that were not part of the four groups listed above!!
This time, the message was for the Jews!!
Indeed, the message delivered by God on Saturday, January 14th was to an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT AUDIENCE. The very audience that God will be turning His attention to once we are gone. A message to the Jews, both in Israel and scattered through out the world. The following will outline events and timelines expected for the final reconciliation with Israel and will illustrate the PERFECT match to the statistics from the January 14, 2012 Broncos Patriots NFL playoff game. Skeptics, prepare to be amazed!!!!
The Period Leading up to the January 28, 2012 Rapture / Sudden Destruction:
- Analogy 1 – The Rise of the New World Order, Israel’s Greatest Foe: Formerly known as the Illuminati, the New World Order is a series of organizations that basically run this decrepit world in the background. These organizations include the Bilderbergers, Council on Foreign Relations, the Club of Rome, Trilateral Commission, etc. In a sneaky way, Satan has had his hand from the very start in moving these organizations towards the establishment of his One World Government. However, and more importantly, God Himself has allowed this enemy to arise in the fashion that it has in order to judge His people, the Jews / Israel. This is analogous to the rise of the pagan nation of Babylon, led by Nebuchadnezzar, as allowed by God, to capture the adulterous nation of Israel thousands of years ago. Similarly, the New World Order, under the leadership of Satan, as co-guided by the fallen angels, the 1/3rd that was cast from the heavens for rebelling against odd, has been allowed by God to judge the modern nation of Israel. This 1/3rd outcast of the angels during the rebellion is the precise reason why 3333 (equal to 1/3rd, equal to 0.3333, equal to 33.33%) is the New World Order’s main occultic number
o Football Game analogy: Tom Brady passing for EXACTLY 363 yards is analogous to the most occultic number of the NWO, equating to 363 = 3 6 3 = 3 3+3 3 = 3 3 3 3 = 3333!!
- Analogy 2 – New England is the Incubator of the New World Order: Almost without exception, members of the NWO elite that have obtained high places in this diabolical organization have “Ivy League” educations. Indeed, these elites are almost always selected and indoctrinated as New World Order candidates from these Ivy League schools. In turn, these elite usually come from “suitable families” that are both wealthy and well connected. Satanically influenced clubs at these Ivy League Schools, such as the Skull and Crossbones, are known to flourish there. These types of clubs are KNOWN for there elitist attitudes AND for their Satanic imagery. This world of privilege represents the perfect breeding ground for cultivating a breed of people who care little if others that are “inferior” meet their end in “Sudden Destruction”. This is also where the New World Order is taught of the supposed “dangers” of the Zionist regime and about their supposed “occupation” of Israel
o Football Game analogy: New England being the opposition to the Broncos is analogous to New England being the EXACT area that contains all of the Ivy League Schools (the “Incubator”). That’s right – EVERY Ivy League School, as referenced above, reside in the area of the U.S.A. known as New England (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_League)
- Analogy 3 – The beginning of the 45 Month Great Tribulation: On January 28, 2012, the Great Tribulation will begin with the Rapture, followed IMMEDIATELY by the nuclear Sudden Destruction. The Great Tribulation will end 1335 days later on September 23, 2015, the Day of Atonement. Shortly thereafter, the last of the fall feasts, the Feast of Tabernacles 2015, will be completed as the Jews are finally reconciled with the One they rejected. In total, the period from January 28, 2012 to the Feast of Tabernacles 2015 amounts to EXACTLY 45 months!! In other words, for approximately 45 months, leading up to the rescue of those “left behind survivors” by the return of Jesus, the NWO will essentially have their way!!
o Football Game analogy: New England scoring EXACTLY 45 points is analogous to the 45 months that the NWO will have their way!!
- Analogy 4 – The Church is Raptured and the White Queen is destroyed, completing the isolation of Israel: Kicking off the beginning of the 45 month Great Tribulation will be the Rapture / Sudden Destruction. The NWO has often stated that, “out of the ashes of the U.S.A. shall arise the One World Government”. However, unknown at the time to the NWO, the Sudden Destruction will be preceded by the Rapture of the Church, the biggest supporters of Israel in the world. In an instant, both of the best friends of Israel will be removed – the Church in the Rapture and the White Queen / U.S.A. in the Sudden Destruction. The combination will complete the isolation of Israel, leaving them completely vulnerable to the desires of the NWO and their Satanic leader (IF it were not for God’s mercy)
o Football Game analogy: Tim Tebow being removed from the playoffs is analogous to the Church / U.S.A. being removed from Israel’s corner. It is hard to argue that Tim Tebow is not the epitome of what a follower of Jesus should look and act like. Tebow is humble, selfless and absolutely shameless in his love for the Lord. Tebow also represents the old-fashioned ethics that USED to exist in the U.S.A. when it was founded as a great nation by their great leaders in the past. Tebow, with his constant references to John 3:16 (the verse that saves), simply is the perfect person sent at the perfect time to represent both the Church / U.S.A., given our closeness to the very end of the Church age
Period from the January 28, 2012 Rapture / Sudden Destruction to the Day of Atonement 2015:
- Analogy 5 – The Anti-Christ begins his ascent from the leader of the U.S.A. to the leader of the World: Out of the chaos and confusion of the Rapture / Sudden Destruction shall arise THE leader of the World. The NWO has made no secret that President Obama is the man of the hour. Henry Kissinger, the secretary to most of the diabolical organizations listed above, has stated this MANY times. Not only that, but the mathematics of it is just too obvious to ignore that President Obama has to be the Anti-Christ. Indeed, this is President Obama’s time to shine and NO ONE on earth will stand in his way for the next 45 months!! God GUARANTEES it!!
o Football Game analogy: Tom Brady passing for EXACTLY 363 yards and 6 touchdowns is analogous to the number of the Beast, President Obama, equating to 363 & 6 = 3 6 3 6 = 3 3 6 6 = 3 + 3 6 6 = 666!!
- Analogy 6 – Thanks to his hypnotic charisma and, after his possession by Satan himself, signs and wonders, the fallen world willingly pledges complete loyalty to the Anti-Christ: Thanks to the world being under complete and utter stress, they will be begging for a leader to follow, even if it’s the devil himself (which it will be). The NWO knows this – that is why they used Sudden Destruction to advance their goals!! Indeed, they will use this chaos to bind the world in allegiance to the Anti-Christ. President Obama is the right man for the job, the PERFECT CHAMELEON, allowed to be born and live by God Himself (He is NEVER surprised). Even Israel will view President Obama as “their man” at first. But later, just like the Nazi sympathizers from WW II, those who later refuse the NWO’s government system, will be squealed on by their former friends and peers. These blind followers of the Anti-Christ will feel that those left behind and are later saved DESERVE nothing less than torture and death!!
o Football Game analogy: The definition of the winning team’s name, the Patriots, is analogous to the blind loyalty of the fallen world to the Anti-Christ. The definition of Patriots is, “a person who vigorously defends and loves his country and its way of life”. The Anti-Christ will convince the fallen world that earth is now one country, THEIR country, in need of just One World Government, his!! Could the definition of Patriot fit anymore perfectly in this analogy?
- Analogy 7 – People will gaze at the Beast and ask, “who can stand against him”: The NWO has had their diabolical plan for One World Government mapped out for decades, if not centuries. The NWO know EXACTLY how they will institute One World Government!! The tracking micro-chips are already stock piled, the technological infrastructure is already in place, all the NWO needs is another 9/11!! As such, things will go so smoothly for President of the World Obama after the Rapture / Sudden Destruction that the world will stand back in awe and ask, “who can stand against him”. It won’t be until later that things will start getting rough, including on-going troubles with the north and the east as per Daniel (the remnant of Russia, as well as China??). Regardless, the beginning of President of the World Obama and his cohort’s reign will simply be smooth sailing. Indeed, the Bible confirms that this evil horde will have their way in all they try to accomplish
o Football Game analogy: Tom Brady hitting all eight of his first eight passes is analogous to just how perfectly things will fall into place for President of the World Obama and his evil cohorts
- Analogy 8 & 9 – Suddenly the Anti-Christ and his followers will turn on Israel and pursue them mercilessly for 42 months: For 42 months, equal to 1260 days, starting on April 11, 2012, the Anti-Christ and his followers will begin their merciless pursuit and slaughter of the Jews. When the dust settles at the end of the Great Tribulation, only 1/3rd of the Jews will escape, but only because they will have been guarded by God Himself in the wilderness (Petra?). The followers of the Anti-Christ Obama will be relentless in their mocking and torture, taking great glee in their pursuit and murder. For the Jews, this time will represent the ultimate in judgment and disorder. What the Jews won’t realize until later is that this judgment is all part of God’s plan to reconcile them with the One who saves, Jesus, the very One they rejected!!
o Football Game analogy A: With the score 42 to 7 for the Patriots, Tim Tebow is sacked for an 11 yard loss, causing the Patriot crowd ro start mocking Tebow and the Broncos. The Patriots score of 42 is analogous to the number of months that the Anti-Christ and his followers will be allowed to persecute the Jews. The Broncos score of 7 is analogous to God’s number of perfection, meaning that, as brutal as this period is for the Jews, it is all part of God’s plan to reconcile the Jews with His Son. Not only that, but the end of the 42 months is also the end of the Daniel’s 70 week, the 7 x 360 day period that started with Obama’s “this final week” speech on October 29, 2008, another 7! In addition, the 11 yard loss on the sack represents the very number for judgment and disorder. To finish this analogy, this is when the crowd started to openly mock Tebow and the Broncos and is analogous to the brutal pursuit of the Jews (and new believers) by the Anti-Christ and his minions
o Football Game analogy B: Tebow finishing the day with roughly 1/3rd of the yards and completions as Brady, as well as quarterback rating, is analogous to the fact that only 1/3rd of the Jews pursued will be preserved in the wilderness by God
Period from the Day of Atonement 2015 and on:
- Analogy 10 – Thank God, the True Trinity shows up and defeats the false trinity: Mercifully, and thank the Lord, the True Trinity, represented by Jesus, first arrives on the Feast of Trumpets on 2015 and defeats the false trinity 10 days later, represented by the Anti-Christ, on the Day of Atonement 2015. The Jews weep and mourn when they see Jesus coming to their rescue, finally realizing what they have done to He who was sent for them 2000 years ago. The Beast and the false prophet are thrown into the Lake of Fire and Satan is cast into hell. Finally, there brutal rule is over and those who pass the Goat Sheep Test are finally safe. The Jews are then invited to be with Jesus and to come out of their place of hiding in the wilderness (Petra?) during the Feast of Tabernacles
o Football Game analogy: The final two scoring plays are a 3 point field goal by the Broncos, followed by a 3 point field goal by the Patriots. The 3 points by the Broncos is analogous to the True Trinity (The Holy Three), represented by Jesus, arriving at the end of the 42 months of pursuit to provide justice. The 3 points that are followed by the Patriots is analogous to the destruction of the unholy trinity (the unholy three), represented by the Anti-Christ. These are the last scores of the game and represent the PERFECT ending to the Great Tribulation!!
- Analogy 11 – The Lord’s perfect order and rule, the millennium, arrives: Following the coronation of the King of kings during the final fall feasts, Jesus takes His rightful place as ruler of the universe for 1000 years (and then forever once Satan is dealt with once and for all). The reign of Jesus will be one of perfect order and rule!!
o Football Game analogy: The Broncos final score of 10 points represents the Biblical number for perfect order, which will finally exist once the Lord rules, first for the millennium and then forever – praise God forever!!
And yes, I do find it interesting that I was provided with 11 analogies with 11 more days left, wherein the number 11 is the number of disorder and judgment. Are there ANY coincidences with our MIGHTLY LORD!! We have NO IDEA how FANTASTICALLY we will soon be blessed by being in the actual presence of our loving and grace-filled Lord Jesus Christ!!
IMPORTANT MESSAGE ON INCORPORATING THE NWO TIMELINE
The NWO timeline is ONLY consequential because it matches God’s timeline. As such, the NWO timeline has credibility, but ONLY because of it’s perfect match with what God has outlined. Given that the Rapture is to immediately proceed the Sudden Destruction AND given that the Rapture is God-driven and the Sudden Destruction is NWO-driven (but still AS ALLOWED by God), it makes PERFECT sense that both timelines match up (after all, they simply MUST).
I say this as there are some here on FiveDoves that have expressed some concern that we are giving the NWO timeline too much credence. However, once you understand the disclaimer as outlined in the previous paragraph, you can see that we really do not elevate it to any height whatsoever (nor will we). In other words, I KNOW that this is 100% God’s show, completely and utterly controlled by the Lord alone. Won’t Satan soon be surprised!!!!

If you have time, and you have not already done so, I would recommend that you read a message I had posted on January 6, 2012, on www.FiveDoves.com, titled “2015 for Dummies”, explaining the entire concept of the January 28, 2012 Rapture / Sudden Destruction, along with the Day of Atonement 2015 as the day for the Return of Jesus:

“ALERT!!!!!!!! CHINA’S AND RUSSIA WARN OBAMA “TOUCH IRAN AND WE WILL LAUNCH WW3 ON YOU”!!!!!!!”
Tensions between the two countries have risen in recent weeks. US President Barack Obama signed a bill on New Year’s Eve that, if fully implemented, would make it impossible for most countries to pay for Iranian oil.
Dempsey’s visit – reported in The Jerusalem Post last month – comes as US concern is growing over the possibility that Israeli military action is being planned for the near future. It will be Dempsey’s first meeting with IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz as the US’s highest ranking military officer. In a recent interview, Dempsey said Israel would likely not update the US ahead of such an operation.
http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/iran-s-game-of-chicken-regarding-oil-production-1.407491
Iran’s representative to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, Mohammad Ali Khatibi, warned the Gulf States against increasing their oil production to compensate for the decrease in Iranian oil production, on Sunday, saying “they will be held responsible for the consequences.”
Khatibi’s masked warning continued the line adopted lately by Iranian senior officials who said that “if Iranian oil would not be allowed to exit the Persian Gulf, then not a drop of oil from the other Gulf States would be allowed out as well,” and that “it’s very easy for Iran to block the Strait of Hormuz.” Iran indeed has the military capability to damage oil tankers in the Gulf, or strike oil facilities in neighboring countries such as Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/151732 U.S VERY NERVOUS U.S SENDING AMRY JOINT CHEIF OF STAFF TO ISRAEL THIS WEEK TO TRY TO PURSUADE ISRAEL NOT TO STRIKE IRAN
The Obama administration is sending the head of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey to Israel this Thursday to try to change what it sees as Israel’s increasing readiness to attack Iran. U.S officials are worried that Israel is closer to concluding that the “point of no return” is at hand, after which it may be too late to stop Iran.

Mr Hague’s comments came as the European Union prepares to agree an embargo on Iranian oil in eight days’ time, in response to Iran’s decision to step up its efforts to produce the materials for a nuclear weapon.
They followed last week’s assassination of a fourth Iranian nuclear scientist in two years, blamed by Iran on Mossad, the Israeli security service; recent missile tests by Iran; and continuing threats by its clerical regime to close the narrow marine artery through which more than a third of the West’s seaborne oil reserves pass.

Jan 12, 2012 a prophecy against Siria

Dec 29, 2011 The Seven Year Tribulation in the Book of Daniel and in Revelation
Dec 29, 2011 The Seven Year Tribulation in the Book of Daniel and in Revelation
There are two prophets that were given a vision of the end times from which we can discern the times involved. One book is in the Old Testament the other is the last book of the New Testament.
I will start with what the Bible says in Daniel from the NIV Bible
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel+9&version=NIV
27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’[h] In the middle of the ‘seven’[i] he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple[j] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.[k]”[l]
It is clear from this verse that the covenant is with many people but in the context of chapter 9 the seventy weeks it has to be with the people of the promise which is Israel and it could include other non covenant people also. The next statement divides the seven weeks in two and at the end of the first 3 ½ years he sets up the abomination that causes desolation at the (in the wing of) temple.
At this point I want to introduce data of this Temple and my educated guess as a structural engineer with more than 40 years of design and construction experience in large building airport projects and also in major bridges for roads and rapid transit.
Concourse E at MIA took more than four years to design and about three plus years to construct. This building would be comparable in size to the Temple. I was involved in both parts. The Adrienne Arsht Center for the performing Arts of Miami Dade is another building that comes to mind that took more than four years to built and the same probably to design.
http://static.panoramio.com/photos/large/40682076.jpg
http://www.templeinstitute.org/
Please see the view of the Temple planned and this organization already has the drawings ready to start construction so the process is only for construction. The time frame for an accelerated pace could be around three years. If we start on the first week of 2012 it would be ready to offer sacrifices in Jan 2015, so with good timing the middle of the Tribulations can not be before the year 2015.
Now I will compare the seven of Daniel to Revelation as I see it written in scripture.
There are a total of seven seals, seven trumpets and seven vials of wrath for a total of 21 events. The 2520 days for the total has to include the 21 events, if God assigned equal time to each it would correspond to 120 days for each, but there is a clue about the time allotted for the first 1260 days and they occur up to the end of the two witnesses death at the 6th Trumpet judgment.
At this point the 7th angel sounds its trumpet and we see the famous woman clothed with the sun etc, when she gave birth she fled into the desert where she will be protected for 1260 days. If this is Israel which other scriptures say it is then this command to flee is when the abomination of desolation enters the Temple at the middle of the Tribulations which in my humble opinion has occurred after the two witnesses are killed.
Does this make sense? I believe that it does. I can not see the two witnesses giving testimony and functioning after the desecration of the Temple and all of Israel has gone to the desert.
Now there are other important factors to consider along with these facts that are in my opinion irreconcilable with a Tribulation that started in 2008.
The Psalm 83 war, The Ezekiel 38-39 war and other events that must take place also. The first four seals kill ¼th of humanity, and with this killing going on it would be difficult to built the Temple at the same time.
Although I can appreciate the effort and dedication of several doves to fit the middle of the Tribulation this coming year I think it is not possible at all physically.
My concluding thoughts are that the Tribulations have not started yet and that the numerical and astronomical signs that took us back from 2015 to 2008 where done by Christ to point to the Antichrist Mr. Obama for the Bride to watch and prepare herself and others for the time of destruction that is fast coming towards the whole world. This is the time that BO has used to prepare himself for the role that he will soon assume as the first seal is opened and he is given the crown to be a conqueror.

Dec 28, 2011 Dates for WW III based on Satanic #’s and dates by Ron Reese
Today I received an e-mail from Mr. Ron Reese and I am posting it here. Many of you have reservations with his timeline and conclusions about the end times.
In this writing he is pointing out some possible dates for the Rapture and the Sudden Destruction based on Satanic numbers and dates. In his next post he says that he will correlate them to scripture.
There is a lot of information to digest and the readers conclusions to the facts presented may be different from his. In his analysis he arrives at certain dates based on the # 3333 and then finds events that fit these dates. With the same logic he projects these dates into the future month and reaches the conclusion that fits his timeline.
Will all this be correct? well even if it is not some may be valid observations and the fact may remain that the events of the future are in the realm of things only God will know. Never the less we must look at the evidence presented by him and see if his conclusions from this evidence a meritorious and true. At minimum we must be serious to listen to what he has shown and treat it with discernment.
If you think that it is all nonsense don’t waste your time or mine and just leave it and go do something else.
