CF (28 July 2011) “The Number Three and Three Solar Eclipses”
As I stated since last month the Lord Jesus communicated with me that the Apocalypse would start in the month of July in this year.
The following article points to dates in the last day of this month or the first date of the next for significant signs given in the sun. The time of Pentecost and Tu’B’ Av is also coming.

“The Number Three and Three Solar Eclipses“
Dear Doves,
Here is a re-cap on the signs in the sky that may be pointing to our soon departure!
The three solar eclipses that fell on Tammuz 29 and Av 1 three years in a row, (2008, 2009, and 2010) seem to be a sign to those who are watching that God has begun to judge the nations and that something HUGE is about to happen. The number three in the Bible is very significant and points to the fulfillment of God’s divine purposes.
(The dates of the solar eclipses three years in a row are as follows:)
August 1, 2009 – Tammuz 29
July 22, 2008 – Av 1
July 11, 2010 – Tammuz 29
As if these three eclipses were not enough to get our attention, the Lord seems to have pointed His watching and waiting bride to Tammuz 29 and Av 1 AGAIN by showing us two more signs in the solar eclipses that happened this year on June 1, 2011 and July 1, 2011. God seems to be saying, “Look at this pattern: June 1, 2011 – solar eclipse, July 1, 2011 – solar eclipse, what is the next logical date in this pattern?”
The answer is August 1, 2011, which again falls on the eve of Tammuz 29 and Av 1. There seems to be no doubt that the signs in the sky are pointing to these two dates which fall on July 31 – August 1 in the USA (if you are going by Jerusalem time, the watch is one day earlier due to the time difference.)
Av 1 is the beginning of the intensified stage of mourning and will last for nine days. (Nine is 3 x 3 and may represent completeness.)
Here is a little bit about the meaning of Av 1:
“When Av begins, we diminish [our] rejoicing” (Talmud, Taanit 26b).
“On the 1st of Av, “The Three Weeks” mourning period over the destruction of the Holy Temple–which began 13 days earlier on Tammuz 17–enters an intensified stage. During “The Nine Days” from Av 1st to the Ninth of Av, a heightened degree of mourning is observed, including abstention from meat and wine, music, bathing for pleasure, and other joyous and enjoyable activities. (The particular mourning customs vary from community to community, so consult a competent Halachic authority for details).
Consumption of meat and wine is permitted on Shabbat, or at a Seudat Mitzvah (obligatory festive meal celebrating the fulfillment of a mitzvah) such as a Bris (circumcision), or a “Siyum” celebrating the completion of a course of Torah study (i.e., a complete Talmudic tractate). The Lubavitcher Rebbe initiated the custom of conducting or participating in a Siyum on each of the Nine Days (even if one does not avail oneself of the dispensation to eat meat).
Citing the verse (Isaiah 1:27) “Zion shall be redeemed with mishpat [Torah] and its returnees with Tzedakah,” the Rebbe urged that we increase in Torah study (particularly the study of the laws of the Holy Temple and charity during this period.

The Number Three and the Three Solar Eclipses
Below is some information on the number three in the Bible.
“Another of the numbers where we can readily see God use it in a spiritual sense to signify something, is the number three. It is used of God to signify His Purpose or His Will! For example, when God sent the three messengers to Abraham to tell him that Sarah would conceive in her old age (Genesis 18), by the use of the number three we see in this an illustration that they came with God’s “purpose and will” to Abraham. i.e., it was by the will of God and for His own purposes that Sarah should conceive so that God would make a great nation of Abraham through it.
The same illustration is seen as God brought a thick darkness upon the land of Egypt (exodus 10:22-23) for three days. In this, God’s purpose and sovereign will of judgment is worked out. The number three illustrated that it was for God’s purposes that they were in darkness while all the Children of Israel had light!
We can see this in the three times in a year God commanded that the men of Israel were to appear before the Lord in Jerusalem (Ex. 23:14,17 Deu. 16:16). This illustrated the will and purpose of God in the feasts Laws, which all pointed to Christ!
In 2nd Samuel 21:1 the Lord sends famine in the land for three years, and says it was because of Saul and his bloody house. In other words, it was God’s will that this happen, and the purpose of God in doing this was to bring judgment because of Saul’s bloody House.
Another example is in 1st kings 17:21 as Elijah stretches forth his body over a dead child three times, and the child lives again. This signified that it was God’s will and for His own purpose that the child should yet live again, a type or spiritual “shadow” of things to come.
Again, as the Lord said His servant Isaiah walked naked and barefoot three years as a Sign (signification) and a wonder upon Egypt (Isaiah 20:3), once more indicating God’s will and purpose for Egypt.
Even when we look at the three men who were cast into the furnace of fire, and a fourth who was there like the Son of God (Daniel 3:24-25), we see that it was God’s will and purpose that these three men would not be harmed by the fire because of the presence of the Son of God. This was demonstrating that by the presence of Christ, the will and purpose of God that His people not be harmed in the fire, will be accomplished.
These are just a few of the examples, and we could go on and on about this. These places where the number three is found is numerical symbology which is putting forth spiritual truths, that we can learn from as we consider them. For in three, God works out His purpose and His will. As Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights, so it indicated it was for God’s purpose, and that His will would be worked out in this (Again, a type of Christ).
If I could use an earthly analogy of a Biblical principle, It’s somewhat like asking someone three times whether they really want to sell their house for a certain fee. After they say yes the third time, it’s established that this is their will and purpose or intention. That, of course, is a bad analogy, but one which makes the point. That is the way the number three is often used in scripture. It signifies the establishment of God’s will and His purpose. The three days and three nights Jonah spent in the fish established that God’s purpose and will would be worked out in that. In Acts, the Lord smote the Apostle Paul with blindness for three days:
Acts 9:9
“And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.”Was the fact that he was blind “three” days just a number picked out of a hat, as if any number would do? No, the number was God breathed. He was Blinded three days not by coincidence, but “by divine fiat or decree”. It was God’s purpose for him to be blind and to neither eat nor drink for those “three” days because He was bringing Paul to the light! Why not four days? Why not two days? Because those are numbers God uses to signify other things, and He wanted to indicate by the number “three” that it was for His own good purpose and by His sovereign Will that Paul be blind. And that is what the number three signifies.
The exact same principle in Acts Chapter 10, when a voice from heaven told Peter to rise kill and eat the beasts of the earth that were on a sheet descending from heaven. And Peter says No, for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean. Then the voice says, “what God has cleansed, don’t call it common”. And we read,
Acts 10:16
“This was done thrice (3 times): and the vessel was received up again into heaven.”Why was this done “three” times, and then the sheet received up again into heaven? When we study scripture in context, we find that these passages were to indicate that the gospel was going out to the Gentiles as well as the Jews. And that is why it is meticulously pointed out by God that this was done three times and “then” received up again unto heaven. It is to signify this is the purpose and will of God that Salvation go to all the world. It’s not just any number, it’s the number that signifies God’s purpose and will that Salvation go to the Gentiles as well as the Jews. The “three” times it’s done, gives us this spiritual signification that it is established by God for His purpose.
Christ spoke a parable which was about a fig tree in a vineyard in Luke 13:6 (Symbolizing Israel) and the man of the vineyard came “three” years seeking fruit and found none, and so said cut it down, why cumbereth it the ground. Why didn’t God in this parable say cut it down after one year, or after two years? It was because the “three” years he came seeking fruit is symbolizing the purpose of God. He gave it “three” chances before he said cut it down. (Remember the analogy I made of three times asked makes it established?) The establishment of God’s purpose and will is seen in this number three.
One of the greatest places to see this numerical symbology is in that there is only one God, and yet there are three in the Godhead. The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.
1st John 5:7
“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one”.The purpose or will of God the one God, is worked out in these three. Read the Bible with wisdom and understanding. Because these things were put there for just that purpose. The purpose and will of God is worked out in the three of the Godhead.
When Paul sought God to remove the thorn in the flesh, but it was for God’s own purpose that Paul retain this thorn (it wasn’t God’s will to remove it) He illustrates this by the number three. Consider what we read in,
2nd Corinthians 12:8:
“For this thing I besought the Lord thrice (three times) that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My Grace is sufficient for thee..”Here we see it again “three” times Paul besought the Lord! Why not once, or twice? Why didn’t God tell him after the first time or the second? Why did God wait for the third time? It’s because God deliberately wants to indicate in scripture by this number 3, that it is not His purpose, or His Will that this thorn be removed. He says to Paul after being asked the third time, “My Grace is sufficient for you.” In other words, My Grace is enough for you. i.e., After the third time asking, it was established as God’s will that this was not to be removed. Grace was enough for Paul. So again we see clearly that the number three here was an indication to us that it was not God’s will that this be removed.
There are just so many indications of the number three being used to symbolize the will and Purpose of God. None more “God Glorifying” than the atonement that the Lord made at the cross. The Atonement has the number “three” all around it and we can readily understand why. That’s because though Christ was Crucified, it was God’s will and for His purpose that Christ went to the Cross. For example, Jesus sat with the elders in the Temple three days being about His father’s work, there were three Crosses, there were three men crucified, there was writing in three different languages on the cross, Jesus prayed three times that if it was possible could this cup pass from me, three Apostles went into the garden to pray with Him, Peter denied Our lord three times, Pilate sought three times to let Jesus go, it was the “third” hour when they crucified Him, Jesus was in the heart of the earth “three” days and “three” nights, When Jesus was risen He asked Simon three times loveth thou Me, and on, and on. The number three is everywhere indicated in the atonement that Christ made for us because it was God’s will and purpose. Are these all just coincidental references? The scoffers will tell you that, but the Spirit tells another story. Christ had to go to the cross in order for us to be Saved. It is a Gift of God. It was His will. The number three being used this way is a coincidence like the sheep being used as an indication of a believer is a coincidence. No Possible Way! They were both put there by God to give us a great Spiritual, or symbolical picture that we can learn from. Unfortunately, there are many in our day who choose to remain spiritually ignorant in these things.
It’s not curious then that the number three is sometimes used in conjunction with the number two (which signifies the agreement of truth) when making statements about God’s purpose. Because His will and purpose go hand in hand with the truth. For example, in relationship to the Church. For the Church is the pillar of truth, and it is also doing God’s Will, and working to accomplish His purposes. Jesus says in:
Matthew 18:19-20
“Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in My name, there Am I in the midst of them.”There we have the establishment of the truth (2), and the Purpose of God (3) in the definition of the Church. Where two or three are gathered in Christ’s name, there is the truth and the will of God being done, and Christ in their midst. That’s the two or three witnesses of God. That’s the Church with Christ in the midst (remember the two witnesses of revelation chapter 11?) There is the “definition” of the Church! Two or three witnesses gathered together in the name of Christ! The two is illustrating established truth, and the three illustrating the purpose and will of God.”

Lauren (28 July 2011) “AN ANALYTICAL TRUTH EXPOSING THE ELENIN/NIBIRU CONTROVERSY”
The article below has a link to a scientific study of Nibiru and Elenin.
It is the best study I have read so far and the information given in the study is mind boggling. in page 28 of 92 there is a concise description of the two celestial objects. I have only read to page 28 at the time of this post.

“AN ANALYTICAL TRUTH EXPOSING THE ELENIN/NIBIRU CONTROVERSY”
Hello John and fellow doves,
This is a little lengthy, but well worth the read time. I hope this makes you and the ‘truth seekers’ who come to your site and whomever they may forward it to, become a day in which ‘truth’ comes to light! Thanks Lauren
When you open this link http://www.scribd.com/fullscreen/60725711 disregard the link at the top of the first page, because it is ‘off center’ too far right to be hyperlinked.
Scroll down a blank page or so, read the somewhat boring ‘Foreward’ scroll down to a interesting ‘Summary’, THEN READ AND VIEW this most definitive, scientific and mathematical study on Elenin and Nibiru that you will have gotten your hands/eyes on so far.
What many have been so confused about, is explained with orbits and photos, along with an analysis that is accurately detailed.
FYI: The biggest factor of confusion is that Nibiru/Planet ‘X’ is 8AU or 744 million miles behind Elenin.
Don’t be afraid to read every word! A Ezekiel 33:6 watching one

July 23, 2011 Elenin, Nemesis, Nibiru, Planet X they are all coming and the comic strip Non Sequitur has let us in the secret
Well in the past weeks a lot of attention has been devoted to these celestial objects and it is not only the Christians that are expecting the coming of the Rapture and the Apocalypse, but the world out there is also responding to the hype.
In the past few days the comic strip Non Sequitur has made cartoons involving the main character the very young girl with the skull on her dress Danae with her boy scientist Jeffrey discussing a project to evacuate earth sponsored by the military establishment.
The plan of scape in the cartoons using the moon as a spaceship is as insane as building underground bunkers inside mountains to scape the wrath of the Lamb the Lord Jesus Christ and the day of the Lord.
The only scape possible is to have accepted the ticket that Jesus bought for us through his death and resurrection.
No other thing will keep you and your family safe of the coming Tribulation.

Steven Edel (29 July 2011) “The US in Bible Prophesy …”
This is an excellent article that has compiled the major references to the nation of the USA. No other nation fits the careful description given by several of the prophecies in the bible where this nation is implied.
Thank you Steven,
In Jesus Holy name

“The US in Bible Prophesy …“
The United StatesinBible Prophecy
Most Bible prophecy teachers teach that the United States is not in Bible prophecy.
I disagree.
I believe the United States is mentioned specifically, scores of times, and is described in great detail. Before you tell me that I am wrong, first tell me who this nation could possibly be … other than the U.S.!
The words “United States” or “America” are not in scripture. But often buried within scriptural text is a parallel subject revelation or dual fulfillment.
Obvious examples of this double reference are in Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28…
In Isaiah 14:4, the text begins with references to the “king of Babylon,” but gradually changes into comments about Satan:
“How you have fallen from heaven” Is 14:12.
The same is true with Ezekiel 28 where verse 11 speaks of the “king of Tyre,” but the following verse moves into specific traits and characteristics of Satan: “you were in the garden of God.”
It’s from these two chapters that many of Satan’s characteristics are revealed, yet we had to dig a little before we could uncover the scriptural jewels buried therein.
“It is the glory of God to conceal a matter…” Prov 25:2
If we are living in the final decades, years or days of the Church Age, the United States, still the #1 power in the world, should logically be in the Bible somewhere. Applying the above principle of “Double Reference,” or “Duel Fulfillment,” there are numerous verses in the Bible that may give us some insight into what ultimately happens to the United States in the future.
Below is a list of the characteristics of an end-time, latter-day nation. I’ll challenge you to find another country, other than the United States, that fully fits this description …
Who Is This Nation?
The Bible calls this unnamed nation, “Babylon,” and sometimes refers to it as the “Daughter of Babylon.” These characteristics of Babylon are taken from verses in Jeremiah 50, 51, Isaiah 18, 47 and Revelation 17, 18. These scriptures record a fascinating description of a nation that has much wisdom, wealth and knowledge, thinks it is secure and invincible, but is suddenly totally destroyed.
Bordered By Many Waters
“O you who dwell by many waters,” Jer 51:13
“The sea has come up over Babylon; She has been engulfed with its tumultuous waves.” Jer 51:42
This is a nation who is bordered by “many waters.” Later you will see that it also imports primarily by ships. It is important to note that Babylon in Iraq has two relatively small ports on only one ocean. In comparison, the U.S. is virtually surrounded by water. It has no less than 15 major ports, on three oceans, 5 Great Lakes and the Mississippi River.
Has a Mother Nation
“Your mother will be greatly ashamed, she who gave you birth will be humiliated. Behold, she will be the (youngest) of the nations” Jer 50:12
This nation has a mother nation . . . like the U.S. has a mother nation – Great Britain. And this nation is the youngest of the world’s superpowers at the end of the Church Age.
Militarily Strong
“How the hammer of the whole earth…has been cut off and broken!” Jeremiah 50:23
He says, “You are My war-club, My weapon of war;” Jer 51:20
This nation is the military hammer of the earth.
Large Importing Nation
“Come to her from the farthest border; open up her barns,” Jer 50:26
“And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargos any more . . .” Rev 18:11
A Wealthy Nation
“…all who had ships at sea became rich by her wealth” Rev 18:19
“….such great wealth…” Rev 18:17
This nation is agriculturally abundant, wealthy, has world-wide influence and is a large importing nation via the sea.
An Educated Nation
“A sword against . . . her wise men!” Jer 50:35
This nation is very educated.
Population Diversity
“A sword against… all the foreigners who are in the midst of her,” Jer 50:37
This nation is full of foreigners, legal and/or illegal. The King James Version calls it a “Mingled-People Nation.”
The U.S. is about as “mingled” as a nation can get.
Abundant in Natural Resources
“… A sword against her treasures . . .” Jer 50:37b
“Abundant in treasures . . .” Jer 51:13
This nation had been blessed by God.
A Nation Full of Idols
“. . . Her images have been put to shame, her idols have been shattered.” Jer 50:2d
“. . . it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols.” Jeremiah 50:38
The nation in question has a lot of “images.”
How would Isaiah describe TV, movies, or the Internet 3000 years ago? And, any way you define “idol,” the United States is full of them.
An idol is anything that you put before God. Money, cars, sex, TV, football, pornography, self, etc., would certainly qualify as “idols.” Amazingly, one of the top TV shows in the United States is named American Idol, and we have a national magazine titled “SELF.”
If the shoe fits…
Space Program
“Though Babylon should ascend to the heavens.” Jer 51:53
If that is a reference to this nation taking space shots, it certainly narrows the field of prospective countries that could qualify.
Has Become Arrogant
“. . . For she has become arrogant against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.” Jer 50:29
“Behold, I am against you, O arrogant one,” declares the Lord GOD of hosts, for your day has come, the time when I will punish you.” Jer 50:31
This nation “has become arrogant against the Lord,” indicating that at one time the nation was once humble to the Lord. Not just arrogant against God, but specifically arrogant against Jesus Christ, the “Holy One of Israel.”
Maybe the 50 million deaths of innocent babies via abortion, being the pornography distribution center of the world, and taking God out of the classroom had something to do with it.
Daughter of Babylon
“. . . Against you, O daughter of Babylon.” Jer 50:42c
This nation is also referred to as the “daughter” of Babylon. Not the original Babylon, but another country.
Attacked from the North
“a nation has come up against her out of the north;” Jer 50:3
“For the destroyers will come to her from the north,” Jer 51:48
The nation is attacked from the north. Interestingly, Russia (Gog) is aligned with Iran (Persia) in the Ezekiel 38/39 post-Rapture invasion of Israel. If the U.S. did receive a nuclear attack from Russia, it would come to the United States over the North pole, “from the north.” The U.S. could be the “coastlands” (Ezek 39:6) who also get attacked in the Gog invasion.
Rapture Related?
“At the shout, ‘Babylon has been seized!’ the earth is shaken, and an outcry is heard among the nations.” Jer 50:46
This “shout” might be a reference to the Rapture (I Thess 4:16), indicating it is still a future event. The earth will definitely be shaken at the Rapture.
God Allowed Luxury, Culture and Industry
“The fruit you long for has gone from you, and all things that were luxurious and splendid have passed away from you and men will no longer find them.” Rev 18:14
“And the sound of harpists and musicians and flute-players and trumpeters will not be heard in you any longer; and no craftsman of any craft will be found in you any longer; and the sound of a mill will not be heard in you any longer;” Rev 18:22
“Babylon has been a golden cup in the hand of the LORD, intoxicating all the earth. The nations have drunk of her wine;” Jer 51:7
This nation lives in luxury and splendor with many musicians, craftsmen and mills/factories. It is quite an advanced nation, allowed by God Himself.
Worldwide Merchants
“…your merchants were the great men of the earth…” Rev 18:23
This nation reaches the far corners of the earth with her dominating trade.
Happens Without Warning
“Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been broken;” Jeremiah 51:8
“for in one hour such great wealth has been laid waste!” Revelation 18:17
“these things shall come on you suddenly in one day…” Is 47:9
“…destruction about which you do not know will come on you suddenly.” Isaiah 47:11
“Suddenly” could be another reference to the Rapture or possibly a post-Rapture nuclear attack that takes out this nation. The phrase “in one hour” could also be translated “in a moment.” The Greek word used there, “hora” was translated “moment” in two other places in the Bible. So it too could be a reference to the Rapture.
Has Good and Bad
“For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: “The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time it is stamped firm; Yet in a little while the time of harvest will come for her.” Jeremiah 51:33
This nation is compared to a “threshing floor.” It is a nation that for the moment has both good and bad people, but eventually God promises to come get the good (cleansed by Jesus’ blood–at the Rapture).
Lots of Whirring
“Alas, oh land of whirring wings…” Is 18:1
This nation has a lot of “whirring” going on. Airplanes, helicopters, and other engines make a whirring sound.
Sends Diplomats Worldwide
“Which sends envoys by the sea, Even in papyrus vessels on the surface of the waters. Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, To a people feared far and wide, A powerful and oppressive nation whose land the rivers divide.” Isaiah 18:2
This end-time nation sends diplomats around the world, is considered “tall and smooth,” is known worldwide and has plenty of water due to many rivers dividing the land.
So, for those that insist that Babylon MUST be rebuilt in Iraq to fulfill Bible prophecy, I submit Iraq does not fit the above Scriptures…
This nation, whoever it is, is wiped out in one hour, either by the Rapture or a nuclear attack soon after the Rapture.
Could this be the United States?
With the Church gone, and nothing but liberal non-believers left, in God’s perfect timing, it sure seems to fit.
But in the meantime, may God bless America …
