Christmas Season Continues…
I am watching a couple of dates that seem significant. Christmas season is not over and though there may be pagan origins, just like YHWH showed in Egypt He is Sovereign and He knows the beginning and the end and He can use these celebrations for His own Glory if He pleases. I have personal testimony that points me towards January 22nd & February 2/3rd. I am intently watching these dates. I have been watching intently since Christmas since these dates are tied in with Christmas. It is still the “Christmas Season”. And as we have already seen with the assasination of Benazir Bhutto significant things can happen quickly only as YHWH can know and has planned them. Our command is to watch!
When I was in the Navy before watch we took in all the information that would seem relevant so that when something came up we could more quickly decipher what action to take. This would be different from date setting, although to those on the outside it may seem to be the same. Nonetheless, we stand our watch…
January 5/6: The 12 days of Christmas end with the “Epiphany” of Jesus
January 22: Tu B’ Shevat: Rosh Hashanah for Trees. I will put more information under separate cover for this. Last year Candlemas and Tu B’ Shevat overlapped.
and February 2/3rd: Candlemas, Purification of the Virgin, Presentation of Jesus at the Temple
Here is some extrapolated information from Wikipedia. You may choose to do more research on any certain one, but this is an overview.
Christmastide (also Christmas or the Christmas season) is one of the seasons of the liturgical year of most Christian churches. It tends to be defined (with slight variations) as the period from Christmas Day to evening of 5 January, the day before the start of the octave of Epiphany (The date of the feast was very early fixed on January 6).
This period is also commonly known as the twelve days of Christmas
Epiphany (Greek: επιφάνεια, "appearance" or "manifestation") is a Christian feast intended to celebrate the "shining forth" or revelation of God to mankind in human form, in the person of Jesus. Some Christians commemorate the visitation of the Magi to the child Jesus on this day, while others use the day to commemorate the baptism of Jesus as an adult. The feast is also called Twelfth Day — being the twelfth day after Christmas — or Three Kings Day for those commemorating the Magi. It is also called Theophany, especially by those commemorating Christ's baptism.
The date of the feast was very early fixed on January 6
The earliest reference to Epiphany as a Christian feast was in the year 361, by Ammianus Marcellinus[2] St. Epiphanius says that the January 6 is hemera genethlion toutestin epiphanion (Christ's "Birthday; that is, His Epiphany").[3] He also asserts that the miracle at Cana occurred on the same calendar day.[4]
Western Christian Churches
By the year 534 the Western Church had separated out the celebration of the Nativity of Christ into the feast of Christmas and set its date as December 25, reserving January 6 as a commemoration of the coming of the Magi. The East continued to celebrate January 6 as a composite feast, only later adopting December 25 to commemorate both Jesus' birth and the coming of the Magi, but leaving January 6 as a commemoration of his Baptism.However comprehensively and unanimously today the epiphany day is symbolic of God's Incarnation in Jesus Christ and the star that led the Magi to the the Holy Child with the three gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh ; all symbolic about the different facets of Jesus's Life on earth.
Liturgical Practice
The West generally acknowledges a twelve-day festival, starting on December 25, and ending on January 5, known as Christmastide or the twelve days of Christmas, although some Christian cultures, especially those of Latin America and some in Europe extend it to as many as forty days, ending on Candlemas (February 2).
The Feast of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple (also known as Candlemas or Feast of the Purification of the Virgin) celebrates an early episode in the life of Jesus
In many Western liturgical churches, Evening Prayer (or Night Prayer) on the Feast of the Presentation marks the end of the Epiphany season. In the Church of England, the Presentation of Christ in the Temple (Candlemas) is a Principal Feast celebrated either on 2 February or on the Sunday between 28 January and 3 February. In some Protestant churches, the feast is known as the Naming of Jesus.
Its formal name is either the festival of the Purification of the Virgin (especially in the uniate rites of the Catholic Church), or the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple (especially in the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic Church). In the Orthodox Church it is known as The Feast of the Presentation of our Lord and Savior in the Temple, and in Anglican Churches it is known by various names[1]
Scripture
The event is described in the Gospel of Luke 2:22–40. According to the gospel, Mary and Joseph took the baby Jesus to the Temple in Jerusalem forty days after his birth to dedicate him to God, in line with Jewish law of the time.
Upon bringing Jesus to the temple, the family encountered Simeon; the gospel records that Simeon had been promised "he should not see death before he had seen the Messiah of the Lord." (Luke 2:26) Simeon prayed the prayer that would become known as the Nunc Dimittis, or Canticle of Simeon, and prophesied regarding Jesus. The prophetess Anna (Bible) was also in the Temple, and offered prayers and praise to God for Jesus.
Date
In the Catholic liturgical calendar the Presentation of the Lord falls on February 2, forty days after Christmas. In the Church of England it may be celebrated on this day, or on the Sunday between 28 January and 3 February. In those Eastern churches that have kept the Julian Calendar, 2 February comes out as February 15 of the modern calendar.

Scooby Doo Spooky: As in antichrist
Okay, the Emperor in Star Wars appeared like this and this is altogether way too much like a Left Behind Movie…
Prince Charles' hologram to appear at conference - Written by Chris Perver - www.prophecynews.co.uk
The United Kingdom's Prince Charles is to appear at the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi next month, in a new drive to promote renewable sources of energy. But following recent criticism of pop-stars, Al "Big Foot" Gore (his carbon footprint) and even the Prince himself, all of whom hired private jets to fly around the world promoting the religion of global warming, Prince Charles will not be attending the summit in person. But a holographic image of him will attend the summit, saving around 15 tonnes of carbon emissions and hopefully proving the point that Prince Charles practices what he preaches.
Quote: "Instead, a three-dimensional image of the Prince will be seen giving a five-minute talk. Charles recorded the message at Highgrove last month. It will be transformed into a hologram-style image using technology based on a Victorian music-hall technique called "ghosting". A video projector will beam an image of the Prince on to the floor. It is then reflected up on to a paper-thin sheet of foil to create an optical illusion that makes him appear as a 3-D image on stage. Former US Vice-President Al Gore used similar technology to appear as a hologram at Wembley Stadium at the beginning of the Live Earth concerts earlier this year.
Following the reformation, the British monarchy adopted the title "Defender of the Faith", seemingly to express their opposition to Popish rule over England. But the title was originally given to King Henry VIII by the Pope himself for the king's treatise against the reformer Martin Luther. Prince Charles has made it clear that if he is ever crowned King of England, he wants to be known as "Defender of Faiths" - plural. For Prince Charles is heavily into the New Age movement, and this is also the reason for his strong support of conservationalism. In Brazil they have made a bronze image of a god-like Prince Charles, complete with angelic wings and loin-cloth, subtitled "Saviour of the World". Prince Charles also claims to be of the bloodline of Jesus Christ, and the most direct descendant of the ancient King of the Holy Roman Empire, Charlemagne. It was this claim that led him to submit a request to the European Commission to be crowned King of Europe, but his request was turned down.
I personally doubt whether Prince Charles will be the Antichrist, but there is no doubt he may be an antichrist. News about holographic images of world leaders reminds us of that passage in the book of Revelation, where the false prophet will manufacture an image of the Antichrist. His image will have the power of speech and appear to have some sort of artificial intelligence. Of course a hologram can't kill you, and so perhaps this image would need to be either robotic in nature, or at least be demonically controlled.
Revelation 13:14-15
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Prince Charles claims to be of the bloodline of Jesus Christ. We know that can't be possible. But praise God we can claim something more infinitely precious. We are bought by His blood (Revelation 5:9). Have you been washed in the blood of the Lamb? Trust in Him for salvation today.

Miracle Finding Family: lots of hidden meaning
Great Read Arch!
It is awesome, he gives credit to Jesus! A great testimony as we head into Christmas.
His three children’s name meanings are interesting:
Lexi: Protector of Mandkind
Chris: Christ Bearer
Josh: Joshua, which is the same as Jesus and also means God saves
His name Frederick means: Peaceful powerful ruler
He spent 3 days lost (Jesus 3 days in the tomb)
Also, they were seeking shelter similar to how Mary & Joseph were seeking shelter for their child
Frederick (father’s) Christlike statement:
"You just go to survival mode," Frederick Dominguez said. "Every parent would do that. You would do anything, sacrifice yourself, because these are your kids."
He used branches to spell “help” Jesus is the branch
Zech 3:8-I WILL BRING FORTH MY SERVANT THE BRANCH Zech 6:12-THE BRANCH...HE SHALL BUILD
They were taken out by helicopter or “up in the air”
The four were reported missing Monday night by Dominguez's former wife and the children's mother, Lisa Sams, according to police in Paradise, California, a town of 27,000 people north of Sacramento.
Mayor Alan White said he and many others in and around Paradise have cut Christmas trees in the same place where the family vanished
Jesus before he died told the thief “you will be with me in Paradise”
Lexi was hurt in the foot (Jesus bruised in the heel & the Apostles needed their feet washed)
Lexi is age 14 and the first to hear the helicopter. 14 has this meaning in gematria:
14 + Beloved, David + Loves him + Heart (Ord) + Nun (Ord) + Pride, Lifting Up + Hand + Gold + Spoil, Booty + Despise + Aha
The oldest son Chris was an encourager (Christ bearer) age 18 and 18 has this meaning in gematria:
18 + Adam (Ord) + Alive, living + Sin, Sinner + My Beloved + My Beloved + Tsaddi (Ord) + Fishhook + Enmity, Hatred + Rinse, Wash
Josh who’s name means Jesus & God saves is age 12. 12 is the number for earthly government & Jesus was 12 at the temple. Here is the gematria:
12 + Lamed (Ord) + He + In Me + Nail (Vav)
Their ages added together: 14+18+12= 44
44’s gematria:
44 + Blood + Birth + and bare (gave birth) (Ord) + Father + Mother + In my heart + One God + Praise (Ord) + The Lord Lives!

Hectic Isn't it???
Christmas shouldn’t be hectic you say???
It should be like a white dove hovering over a fluffy snow bank…
I don’ think so.
Maybe all the hustle and bustle shouldn’t be focused on commercialism
and there are many things that have nothing to do with the true meaning of Christmas
But…
I think it was rather hectic to be out of town traveling for a census, while
Being 9 months pregnant riding a camel
And, looking through town to find out you are the straggler
hearing “no vacancy” over & over again
All the while the king has a plot to seek and destroy your child
I believe the first Christmas was rather hectic…
This is why God give us the gift of:
Peace that surpasses all understanding!
Merry Christmas!
Tony

White Snow & Jesus
Snow in the wintertime it falls down
Each individual snowflake is its own
You can barely see the detail of each…
…unless it melts on glass in front of your eyes
It covers everything like a white blanket
There is just something about Christmas, white, snow & Jesus!
I’m praying for a White Christmas!!!
Isaiah 1:18Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Daniel 7:9I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
Revelation 1:14His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
Merry Christmas,

Christmas Judge & the Birthday
The Christmas Judge & the Birthday
Let’s lay aside our intellectualism for a moment. Let’s lay aside our misconceptions & misperceptions, our differences if you will - just for a moment…
Maybe Jesus wasn’t born on December 25th, but then again we weren’t there, so maybe he was…
For a moment, let’s just think about Immanuel. God with us…How deeply have you thought about that? Have you breathed it into your soul?
God with us. If in Star Wars, Obi Won is the only hope then what about Jesus?
Think of all the times you were wrong. Think of all the times you got away with one. Think of all the times nobody saw. Indeed, think of ALL the times.
Have you ever sat on a bench waiting for court to come in session? Have you felt the nervousness of standing when the Judge enters the room? Have you?
If you haven’t then maybe there is something else that can help you relate. Has your fate ever hung in the balance? Not knowing what the outcome would be? Ponder that for a moment…
Revelation 5: The Book with Seven Seals
1I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a book written inside and on the back, sealed up with seven seals.
2And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book and to break its seals?"
3And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the book or to look into it.
4Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look into it;
Have you ever been guilty, but yet set free? How unjust! How absurd!
God to earth to set me free. From wonders I’ve never known to three dimensions.
The Bible tells me demons left their abode and took what they saw. Jesus left his abode and gave his life. Quite a contrast, don’t you think? Think of what could be, then think of what is…
5and one of the elders said to me, "Stop weeping; behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals."
Immanuel…God with us!!!

1 Thessalonians 5:3 (New American Standard Bible)
3While they are saying, "(A)Peace and safety!" then (B)destruction will come upon them suddenly like (C)labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.
More context:
The Day of the Lord
1Now as to the (A)times and the epochs, brethren, you (B)have no need of anything to be written to you.
2For you yourselves know full well that (C)the day of the Lord will come (D)just like a thief in the night.
3While they are saying, "(E)Peace and safety!" then (F)destruction will come upon them suddenly like (G)labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.
4But you, brethren, are not in (H)darkness, that the day would overtake you (I)like a thief;
5for you are all (J)sons of light and sons of day We are not of night nor of (K)darkness;
6so then let us not (L)sleep as (M)others do, but let us be alert and [a](N)sober.

Looking through the 29th...
There are several important dates that may hold relevance to the upcoming Annapolis peace conference:
In 1863 Abraham Lincoln declared the first National Thanksgiving. This Thanksgiving took place on the last Thursday of November. In 1863 this last Thursday of November was November 26th. This date would be the 144th anniversary. If it was kept we’d be celebrating Thanksgiving this coming Thursday the 29th.
But instead…
November 26th 66 years ago President Roosevelt signed a bill that changed Thanksgiving to the 3rd Thursday to encourage earlier Christmas sales. The next day was Thanksgiving on the 27th.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving_%28United_States%29#Lincoln_and_the_Civil_War
On November 24th 1859 was the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin, 148 years ago. The gematria for 148 is “Passover”. Also, victory, sons of god, promises, ever, always, clay & flour
http://www.biblewheel.com/GR/GR_148.asp
November 25th 2002 Homeland Security was created in response to terrorism.
On November 29th 1947 the UN passed resolution 181 creating the Jewish state, 60 years ago, the number 60 has meaning in regards to Jerusalem according to the Biblewheel:
http://www.biblewheel.com/GR/GR_60.asp
We have just passed the 40 year anniversary of November 22nd and UN Resolution 242 which was the resolution of the 6 day war of Jerusalem.
November 22nd is when the Arab nations got together to decide their united front with which they will take to Annapolis. As I have mentioned in earlier posts it will be good to watch from November 22nd – 29th. With all the parallels in Israel’s fall feasts and our Thanksgiving, 7 days, all the significant and relevant prophetic events and the United States ties with Israel it all bears close watching.

Arabs to be united and agree on a stance. What if behind closed doors we heard an agreement that they would make “high” demands for peace and then agree to it keeping in mind that they could then break it later on.
Not rocket science is it? There is already a track record of this and it is happening on November 22nd which we are already aware of…

Thursday, Thor, Lightning & EMP
In looking at Thanksgiving and Rapture possibilities, I also looked the significance of Thursday and the meaning behind it. Thursday is a day named after Thor, the thunder God and also Jupiter the king planet. These both give us potential insight in case something may happen.
Jupiter could be representative of the Most High God. Thor & the thunder/lightning could have implications regarding Jesus’ return.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thursday
Jesus has said that:
He comes quickly, as lightning flashes from east to west and also in the twinkling of an eye…
Perry Stone has a great sermon on this and how it may relate to preparation for an EMP attack, which would knock out all electronics & technology. What if it wasn’t an EMP attack, but instead Jesus coming back like lightning for His own, but had the effect of an EMP attack? Also, this would result in a blackout, which would be a great strategy for a “thief in the night” as Jesus has mentioned in regards to His return.

May & Flower: Prophetic Significance
The turkey vote has come in:
Supporting information on this and what it means prophetically in my prior post:
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/nov2007/tonye1120-1.htm
Here is the link to the winner that won at 24% (24 of course being a number for heavenly government)
The winner was May & Flower – both significant names. The Mayflower of course was the ship that was used by Pilgrims in their trip to the “New World”.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayflower
I also have recently written that we have just passed (November 11th) 387 years from when the Mayflower compact was signed which is the supporting document for the United States Constitution.
387 is an ominous number and may be a marker for the anti-christ. As many have been watching along with myself the deterioration of the United States, our move as a country away from the founding fathers, constitution and most of all “One Nation under God”.
Here is the Biblewheel link for 387:

Rapture Passengers, fasten your seatbelts!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council_Resolution_242
In summary it is the agreement/resolution from made by the UN after the 6 day war in which Israel took Jerusalem:
It calls for "the establishment of a just and lasting peace in the Middle East" to be achieved by "the application of both the following principles:" "Withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict" (see semantic dispute) and: "Termination of all claims or states of belligerency" and respect for the right of every state in the area to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries.
40 (I’m not going to reiterate the meaning or importance of 40 here) years from this date here we are about to divide Jerusalem/give it back or away.
I received this note from Doug: Arab League chief Amr Moussa, who visited Damascus this week, said Arab states would come up with a united stand on the conference at a meeting of Arab foreign ministers to be held in Cairo Nov. 22-23.
If you were looking for Jesus to return 40 years from when Israel took Jerusalem, this may be the date since we have already passed the 6 day war dates in June.
There are so many reasons to watch on this date. I have posted them all on fivedoves and is also available at the blog section of my website (www.tony4yhwh.com ).
I would watch from November 22nd – 29th (the 29th would be the old Thanksgiving day date & in the model of Tabernacles the 7th day, also it is day 333). I will be flabbergasted if these dates come and go with no major occurrence.
I will be eating my turkey and not taking my normal nap – I’ll be having both eyes open the whole day WATCHING (not just football, but for Jesus)!!! I’m recommending you do the same J
(Yes, it could really happen – it only takes one twinkling of an eye, continue the watch!)

Thankgiving Rapture Significance Summary
Reasons to take a look at November 22nd, Thanksgiving (American) as a potential Rapture date or significant happening (up to and including the 29th).
I believe there are several reasons that make “watching” on this day very, very important!
These are not all the reasons, but a brief summary.
Abraham Lincoln in 1863 made Thanksgiving a National Holiday. Pilgrims and others did celebrate the holiday, but it was not until after Abraham Lincoln’s own conversion to Christ that he made this officially a National Holiday in the United States. This was 144 years ago and will be the 144th National celebration by the United States of Thanksgiving. 144 is a hugely relevant number in terms of Heavenly Government and God’s elect.
On November 22nd 40 years ago (1967), after the 6 day war, the U.N. passed resolution 242 to settle the peace of Jerusalem. Here we are 40 years later and the United States, at Annapolis is ready to force/coerce Israel to “divide” Jerusalem. 40 is clearly a significant number in the Bible. Many were looking at the 40 year anniversary in June, so this is worth looking at as well.
Psalm 107 verse 22. Many believe that the Psalms relate to prophetic years. Not going into supporting detail of that Psalm 107 would relate to 2007 according to that theory. Psalm 107:22 reads “Let them also offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, and tell of His works with joyful singing”.
November 22nd 2007 (Thanksgiving)– October 14th 2014 (last day, 7th of the Jewish fall feast of Tabernacles) is 2520 days, or 7 biblical (360 day) years. There are a multitude of parallels, similarities, models, etc. between the Jewish Fall Feasts and Thanksgiving. My favorite relating to the Rapture may be the Cornucopia which is a Horn of Abundance. Of course we know the Great Trump and how it relates to the Rapture. If God’s attention turns from America to the Jews and also Jesus comes again to earth on the last day of Tabernacles then this timeline would be significant.
1777, one year after our Nations birth George Washington declared Thanksgiving, which became a holiday at the State level. Thomas Jefferson then did away with this. 777 would be YHWH’s number!
66 years ago President Roosevelt moved Thanksgiving from the last Thursday of November to the 3rd. This was to help out the Christmas shopping season. At one time it was considered inappropriate to commercialize Christmas until after Thanksgiving. Clearly this is no longer the case. In a way this may be a modeling of the 7 days of Tabernacles since the original Thanksgiving would have been on the 29th of this month (7 days between the 1st and last like Tabernacles), so it surely will be worth watching through the 29th. 66 is a multiple of both 11 & 22 which I believe is the separation number. I believe that Lamentations is written not only for Israel but America as well (more info on this at my website if interested). Lamentations books all have 22 verses except for chapter 3. Revelation ends at Chapter 22 and the Key of David, which is also mentioned in reading about the Church of Philadelphia in on Isaiah 22:22 (see the Biblewheel for more in depth info on 22).

Tony

The Great Horn of THanksgiving!
believe the Cornucopia as has Rapture significance, Last Trump, and again is a tie-in between the Jewish Fall Feasts and Thanksgiving. The Cornucopia is related to abundance.
Here is more information from Wikipedia:
Cornucopia
The cornucopia (Latin: Cornu Copiae) is a symbol of food and abundance dating back to the 5th Century BCE, also referred to as Horn of Plenty, Horn of Amalthea, and harvest cone.
In Greek mythology, Amalthea raised Zeus on the milk of a goat. In return Zeus gave Amalthea the goat's horn. It had the power to give to the person in possession of it whatever he or she wished for. This gave rise to the legend of the cornucopia. The original depictions were of the goat's horn filled with fruits and flowers: deities, especially Fortuna, would be depicted with the horn of plenty.
In modern depiction, the cornucopia is typically a hollow, horn-shaped wicker basket typically filled with various kinds of festive fruit and vegetables. The cornucopia has come to be associated with Thanksgiving and the harvest.
Cornucopia is also the name of Whistler's annual Wine and Food celebration held in November.

Hasty Shelters
Doesn’t the word “hasty shelters” remind you of Tabernacles?
After a prayer service, the Pilgrims began building hasty shelters. However, unprepared for the starvation and sickness of a harsh New England winter, nearly half died before spring. Yet, persevering in prayer, and assisted by helpful Indians, they reaped a bountiful harvest the following summer.
The grateful Pilgrims then declared a three-day feast, starting on December 13, 1621, to thank God and to celebrate with their Indian friends. While this was not the first Thanksgiving in America (thanksgiving services were held in Virginia as early as 1607), it was America's first Thanksgiving Festival.

144th Anniversary of Thanksgiving!
Lincoln's original 1863 Thanksgiving Proclamation came - spiritually speaking - at a pivotal point in his life. During the first week of July of that year, the Battle of Gettysburg occurred, resulting in the loss of some 60,000 American lives. Four months later in November, Lincoln delivered his famous "Gettsysburg Address." It was while Lincoln was walking among the thousands of graves there at Gettysburg that he committed his life to Christ. As he explained to a friend:
When I left Springfield [to assume the Presidency] I asked the people to pray for me. I was not a Christian. When I buried my son, the severest trial of my life, I was not a Christian. But when I went to Gettysburg and saw the graves of thousands of our soldiers, I then and there consecrated myself to Christ.
As Americans celebrate Thanksgiving each year, we hope they will retain the original gratefulness to God displayed by the Pilgrims and many other founding fathers , and remember that it is to those early and courageous Pilgrims that they owe not only the traditional Thanksgiving holiday but also the concepts of self-government, the "hard-work" ethic, self-reliant communities, and devout religious faith.
This proclamation is at its 144th anniversary! Happy Thanksgiving J May God richly bless you and your family.
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.
Revelation 14.1

ScapeTurkey: Flyer & Fryer...
As I look further into the significance of various prophetic things relating to Thanksgiving I’m blown away.
Did you know that during Yom Kippur two goats are taken and one is killed and one pardoned? Thus the term “scapegoat”?
Did you know that during Thanksgiving (see below) the President takes two turkeys and pardons one and the other is killed?
This past year Yom Kippur was on September 22nd and Thanksgiving will be two months later November 22nd.
In 2006 the names of the Turkeys were flyer and frier – how appropriate for the Rapture (flyer) and Tribulation (fryer) – did we forget Isaac’s name means laughter? And who said God doesn’t have a sense of humor? Those left behind will not be laughing…
The information on both Yom Kippur (part of a Jack Kelly article) and a snipet from Wikipedia:
Since 1947, or possibly earlier, the National Turkey Federation has presented the President of the United States with one live turkey and two dressed turkeys. The live turkey is pardoned and lives out the rest of its days on a peaceful farm. While it is commonly held that this tradition began with Harry Truman in 1947, the Truman Library has been unable to find any evidence for this. Still others claim that the tradition dates back to Abraham Lincoln pardoning his son's pet turkey.[3] Both stories have been quoted in more recent presidential speeches.
President George W. Bush pardons “Flyer” the turkey during the 2006 ceremony in the White House Rose Garden. [1]
In more recent years, two turkeys have been pardoned, in case the original turkey becomes unavailable for presidential pardoning. Since 2003 the public has been invited to vote for the two turkeys' names. They were named Stars and Stripes in 2003 and 2004's turkeys were called Biscuit and Gravy. In 2005 the public decided on Marshmallow and Yam and in 2006 they were named Flyer and Fryer.[4]
Since 2005, the two turkeys have been flown first class on United Airlines from Washington, D.C. to the Los Angeles area where they become the Grand Marshals of Disneyland's annual Thanksgiving Day parade down Main Street. The two turkeys then live out the rest of their relatively short lives in Disneyland's Frontierland ranch.[5]
Since 1970, a group of Native Americans and others have held a National Day of Mourning protest on Thanksgiving at Plymouth Rock in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Yom Kippur info:
Back to Yom Kippur. During a great and awe inspiring ceremony at the Temple two goats were brought before the High Priest. One was a goat "for the Lord" to be presented as a peace offering as commanded in Lev. 16:7-10. The other was called "the scapegoat" because all the sins of the nation were symbolically placed upon its head, and then it was led outside the city to be killed. The goat had done nothing to deserve this but was chosen to demonstrate the fact that only the shedding of innocent blood could atone for the sins of the people. The death of the two goats symbolically set aside the sins of the nation, made their peace offering acceptable and gave them peace with their Creator. The people spoke the Name of God in heartfelt thanks.
Here are a couple of interesting tidbits from Jewish tradition. When the goats were brought before the High Priest, their respective roles in the ceremony were determined by lot. Two golden lots were placed in a golden bowl and as he placed his hand upon the head of each goat, the High Priest reached into the bowl and pulled out one of the lots. Before the cross the goat that was to be presented to the Lord as a peace offering was always on the right hand of the High Priest. After the cross it never was.
While the scapegoat was symbolically receiving the sins of the people upon its head a scarlet ribbon was tied from one of its horns to the door of the temple. As the goat was taken into the wilderness the ribbon was cut, leaving some on the horn and some on the door. At a predetermined location outside the city, the goat was pushed off a cliff and fell to its death. In all the years before the cross, at the moment of the scapegoat's death, the remnant of ribbon on the temple door turned from red to white symbolizing the passage from Isaiah 1:18, "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow." After the cross this never happened again. The One Who sits at the right hand of the Father and Who had fulfilled the role that both goats had only symbolized had come and forever taken away the sins of all who would choose to accept Him.

More Thanksgiving Rapture Info
November 26 is beginning to look very interesting. I’d be watching the whole way though (22nd on…) – why not??? Its been a long watch anyways J
President Roosevelt finally settled the debate about which Thursday to celebrate Thanksgiving in 1941. 66 years ago. This is a multiple of 22 and if you do read Lamentations notice every chapter is a multiple thereof with one chapter having 66 verses. Lamentations is what will be happening to those that will be subsequent harvests after the 1st harvest/Rapture (I have more info on Lamentations under prophecy at my website if interested). Notice that the vote was 23 for and 22 against. There is that separation number again. Much speculation about the 26th & 27th since that will likely be a dividing of Jerusalem day. Maybe the decision will be made based on Thanksgiving in our hearts and carried out later. The last Thursday of November is the 29th so we could actually be on “red alert” watch all the way until then.
66 has significant meaning according to the BibleWheel:
http://www.biblewheel.com/GR/GR_66.asp
This coupled with 144 years since Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgivng makes this date too good not to be watching!!!!!
Maybe, YHWH will Rapture Christians which will be our meeting of Jesus on Thanksgiving and will meet Israel 2520 days later (7 biblical years) on the 7th day of Tabernacles 2014 – the math all works on those days I believe.

Abraham Lincoln's successors as president followed his example of annually declaring the final Thursday in November to be Thanksgiving. But in 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared that Thanksgiving would be the second-to-last Thursday of November rather than the last. With the country still in the midst of The Great Depression, Roosevelt thought this would give merchants a longer period to sell goods before Christmas. Increasing profits and spending during this period, Roosevelt hoped, would aid bringing the country out of the Depression. At the time, it was considered inappropriate to advertise goods for Christmas until after Thanksgiving. However, since a presidential declaration of Thanksgiving Day was not legally binding, 23 states went along with Roosevelt's recommendation, and 22 did not. Other states, like Texas, could not decide and took both weeks as government holidays. Roosevelt persisted in 1940 to celebrate his "Franksgiving," as it was termed. The U.S. Congress in 1941 split the difference and passed a bill requiring that Thanksgiving be observed annually on the fourth Thursday of November, which was sometimes the last Thursday and sometimes (less frequently) the next to last. On November 26 of that year President Roosevelt signed this bill, for the first time making the date of Thanksgiving a matter of federal law.

President Roosevelt finally settled the debate about which Thursday to celebrate Thanksgiving in 1941. 66 years ago. This is a multiple of 22 and if you do read Lamentations notice every chapter is a multiple thereof with one chapter having 66 verses.

Thanksgiving may have Rapture Relevance
Pilgrims developed this holiday as a “copy” of the Jewish fall feast of Tabernacles
It is to give thanks to Almighty God for the Harvest. Harvest relates to the Rapture.
It is the last holiday before Winter sets in. Winter is a picture of death. C.S. Lewis in Narnia used winter and the White Witch (Satan) to describe the rule without Aslan (Jesus – Lion of Judah).
It is 2520 days from November 22nd 2007 – the 7th day of the Feast of Tabernacles 2014. If Tabernacles is the end of the 7 year tribulation and the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ to usher in the Millennium. Then November 22nd may have some relevance and happens to be Thanksgiving this year.
22 is the separation/division number. Revelation 22 is the end of scripture. Lamentations is filled with 11 & 22 (see www.tony4yhwh.com under prophetic for more info).
The Pilgrims did not hold a true Thanksgiving until 1623, when it followed a drought, prayers for rain, and a subsequent rain shower. Irregular Thanksgivings continued after favorable events and days of fasting after unfavorable ones. In the Plymouth tradition, a thanksgiving day was a church observance, rather than a feast day. The South – our “Bible Belt” is experiencing drought right now and is praying for rain.
This past year we moved past the 400 year anniversary of Jamestown. 400 years was the length of time predicted for Israel to leave Egypt.
387 years since the Mayflower compact. The gemetria for 387 in according to the BibleWheel is foreboding: http://www.biblewheel.com/GR/GR_387.asp This comes at a time when LOST and the dividing of Jerusalem seem to be close to a reality.
The First National Proclamation of Thanksgiving was given by the Continental Congress in 1777. 777 would be YHWH’s number. Thanksgiving is indeed important to Him.
I can’t speak for YHWH’s strategy, but I can think about it, wonder & speculate a bit. Think of the impact of a Thanksgiving rapture and the subsequent harvests/impact on family that will be gathered together this day. On a day that all should have truly had thankful and humble hearts towards God, but only God can know the true condition.
· As President, on October 3rd 1789, George Washington stated the following proclamation and created the first Thanksgiving Day designated by the national government of the United States of America:
“
Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor, and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me "to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.
Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November (this is a Watch date as well!!!) next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be.
Lincoln and the Civil War
In the middle of the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln, prompted by a series of editorials written by Sarah Josepha Hale,[2] proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day, to be celebrated on the final Thursday in November 1863:
“
The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequalled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle, or the ship; the axe had enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years, with large increase of freedom.
No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy.
It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and voice by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to his tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility and Union.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the independence of the United States the eighty-eighth."
Proclamation of President Abraham Lincoln, 3 October 1863.
”
Since 1863, Thanksgiving has been observed annually in the United States.
1863 to 2007 is 144 years!!! – this is truly a significant number. Isn’t it interesting that George Washington and Abraham Lincoln both had the most profound impact on Thanksgiving.

November 22nd - 27th Watchdays!!!
Jan, this is shaping up to be a most interesting day. I just did a calculation that I sent out that shows 2520 days from this Thanksgiving to the 7th day of Tabernacles in 2014 – potentially the end of the 7 year tribulation. Thanksgiving has been thought to be modeled by the Pilgrims after Tabernacles.
The Noah day and also what Eric points out regarding the establishment of Israel
November 29th, 1947 =======> Kislev 16, 5708
November 26th, 2007 =======> Kislev 16, 5768
So many things pointing to antichrist’s appearance which also means the Rapture is near. This past year Jamestown’s 400 year anniversary and also 387 years past the Mayflower compact (the number 387’s gematria all points towards Satan).
Also, comet Holmes in Perseus and Medusa beheaded may mean it is time for Satan to be thrown to the earth.
Watching!!!!!

Looking at the LOST treaty (very fitting name) and the dividing of Jerusalem quickly on the horizon I’ve started just looking at some calculations as if the 7 year tribulation could start at any time.
As such I’ve used 2014 as the end and potentially the fulfillment of the fall feasts.
Using 2520 days and Thursday October 16th would be the 7th day of Tabernacles

November 11th: Watch Day
Many things to look for and I feel November will surely be a significant month prophetically. The first date I’ll be watching is the 11th.
LOST Treaty: Signing over 70% of the world for the U.N. to control and tax. Once this is done it won’t take much to eliminate countries sovereignty. Notice that Pakistan (that has Nukes) just got rid of its country’s constitution and is under Marshall Law. Think that can’t happen in the United States? Think again. I was just having a lunch meeting with a non-Christian man that believes that the answer to the world’s problems is regional control by world powers. I said to him “…that’s funny, that’s what the Bible predicted for the end times…” Anyway, I was able to plant a seed. I think it’s interesting that this treaty is called LOST. It truly is for the lost…
Dividing Jerusalem: Right at the doorstep of happening. Scary.
Mayflower Compact, 387 years ago: Mayflower compact was originally a good thing and the foundation for our Constitution. I believe that these contracts are important in God’s economy of things. This happened 387 years ago and the Gematria for 387 is rather “scary” and to me, screams anti-christ:
Devil, Tares, Prince of Tyrus, Sorrows of Hell, Fire of God, Knowing Good & Evil, the Heart of Pharaoh, Double-tongued, The wicked Haman
http://www.biblewheel.com/GR/GR_387.asp
WW I, 89 years: WWI ended 89 years ago. It happened on the 11th month, the 11th day, at the 11th hour. Surely God’s Providence was saying something here. How many times do we say that God operates in the 11th hour. Well in WWI, the world’s first World War that saw the liberation of Jerusalem under miraculous circumstances (and now the U.S. & Israel are trying to give it away).
This Sunday at 11-11 and the 11th hour, it will be 89 years later. The Gematria for 89 is interesting:
http://www.biblewheel.com/GR/GR_89.asp
New, bare up, lift, covered, calm, still, redeem, shall be delivered
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
II Corinthians 5.17
He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
Psalm 107.29
In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.
Isaiah 63.8
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
Isaiah 60.10
The prime Number 89 is joined with the prime Number 71 as part of a numerical chiasm the unites the Greek and Hebrew words for Dove with two of the Greek and Hebrew phrases for the Holy Spirit, as shown in this diagram:
Also, in personal testimony I joined the Open Door Mission in Omaha, NE on September 17th. It will be 55 days to November 11th.
55 has this Gematria:

Bright Morning Star
Revelation 22:16"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."
I happened to wake up last night at 4:54 a.m. and I have a window that faces east. I knew that Venus is the “Morning Star” and it was really amazing to look at. I looked at it while fading in and out of sleep as it rose in the sky and finally disappears before dawn. It really was a beautiful thing to see.
There are many scriptures mentioning the “morning stars” all relating to angels, satan and also Jesus as the one above is stating.
If you would like to see it in your area you can click on Astronomy at the Farmer’s Almanac:
http://www.almanac.com/astronomy/index.php
It really is a beautiful site to see, and watching, waiting and wondering when Jesus will come…

November 11th: antichrist day???
Jim,
I have been studying a bit about Columbus. I enjoyed the article you wrote. One thing that stood out is that the Mayflower compact which was signed on November 11th 1620 would be 387 years ago.
The number 387 at the Biblewheel looks rather ominous and stands for: Devil, Tares, Prince of Tyrus, Sorrows of Hell, Fire of God, Knowing good and evil, heart of Pharaoh, doubletounged and Wicked Haman.
http://www.biblewheel.com/GR/GR_387.asp
I believe that our founding fathers and Christopher Columbus were Holy Spirit driven and the United States has been a beacon of light in preaching the Gospel and spreading it throughout the world. Is the time coming to an end?
If October 12th has significance in being 515 years from Columbus (http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/oct2007/jim109-3.htm ) then could November 11th with all that is going on in the middle east hold great “evil” significance?
Wouldn’t it be shocking (not a prediction of any sort, but watching intensely) if we were to leave this earth in October and the antichrist were to make his appearance or move in November?
Blessings,

The number 387 at the Biblewheel looks rather ominous and stands for: Devil, Tares, Prince of Tyrus, Sorrows of Hell, Fire of God, Knowing good and evil, heart of Pharaoh, doubletounged and Wicked Haman.

I believe that our founding fathers and Christopher Columbus were Holy Spirit driven and the United States has been a beacon of light in preaching the Gospel and spreading it throughout the world. Is the time coming to an end?
If October 12th has significance in being 515 years from Columbus (http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/oct2007/jim109-3.htm ) then could November 11th with all that is going on in the middle east hold great “evil” significance?
Wouldn’t it be shocking (not a prediction of any sort, but watching intensely) if we were to leave this earth in October and the antichrist were to make his appearance or move in November?

More Oct 12th info: Watch Day
On October 12, 1492, two hitherto unknown worlds met on a little island in the Caribbean Sea. While on a voyage of exploration for Spain in search of a direct sea route to the Far East, Christopher Columbus discovered the New World.
In his “years of great anguish,” as he called his years of petitioning the monarchs, 1491 must have seemed hopeless. He was virtually without funds, all pleas had been rejected at court, and he now had two children to support, Diego, his legitimate son, and Fernando, born out of wedlock to Columbus and Beatriz Enríquez de Arana in 1488. In a period of great despair, his one source of comfort was his love for Beatriz. A peasant woman, she was introduced to Columbus by a relative, Diego de Arana, an officer on Columbus’ first voyage.
In Spain, Columbus made one final appeal in the last weeks of 1491. Invited to the royal camp as the monarchs prepared for their final battle with the Muslims in Granada, the future discoverer made his final presentation. But again his plan was rejected; although Columbus had been successful in winning over many of the learned scholars and scientific advisers, this time the rejection was due primarily to the excessive demands he made for titles, revenues, and rewards. His request for payment (one-tenth of all riches from the Indies and the rank of Admiral of the Ocean, Viceroy and Governor of the Indies) caused the sovereigns to flatly refuse the project. Tradition relates that as Columbus rode away on his mule, Ferdinand’s treasurer, Luis de Santángel, a member of a prominent family of converted Jews, interceded on his behalf. Arguing that the investment was small considering the potential reward, Santángel was able to convince the King and Queen to reverse their decision. A court official was dispatched on horseback to bring him back. After several more weeks of negotiating a contract, Columbus left for Palos de la Frontera, in April, 1492, and his rendezvous with history.
The First Voyage (1492-93):
The people of Palos were ordered to provide and equip two caravels (small light sailing ships). The first, owned by Cristóbal Quintero, was called the Pinta; the second, owned by Juan Niño, was officially named the Santa Clara but known as the Niña . The third ship, Columbus' flagship (a small round ship with a large hold, most likely a nao), was owned by Juan de la Cosa and called the Santa María. Little is known about the actual construction but archival evidence suggests that the Niña and the Pinta were small, about 60 tons each and about 70-80 feet long. Of the three, the Pinta was the fastest. The Santa María was about 90-100 tons and not much longer than the other two.
It is true that initially Columbus, who was a foreigner, had difficulty recruiting a crew because so many feared a voyage into the unknown. The royal secretary tried to help by offering freedom to any convict who enlisted. Some seasoned seaman objected to this plan but in the end only four convicts accepted. More than anything, it was the friars of La Rábida and Martín Alonso Pinzón, an experienced sea captain from Palos, who persuaded local sailors to join the expedition. Two other Pinzón brothers joined the voyage; all were commanding officers.
After a southern passage to the Canary Islands where the Niña had her sails replaced with square rigging and the Pinta’s rudder was repaired, the voyagers departed the known world on the 6th of September, 1492. Each day of the voyage, the ships traveled primarily westward. The choice of sailing from the Canaries was masterful. The Canary Current, a river in the ocean, speeded their journey. In mid September the crew began seeing signs of life: brightly colored birds, pelicans, and seaweed. On September 25, it was thought that land was sighted but it was nothing more than low lying clouds. Much of the crew was apprehensive and fearful that the strong daily winds would keep them from getting back to Spain. Columbus had difficulty with his crew at times, and he found it hard to work with the Pinzóns, especially Martín Alonso who was much more seasoned than Columbus, but there is little evidence that the crew was ever close to mutiny. Moreover, it is only legend that Columbus tried to deceive the crew by giving false readings in order to make the distance seem shorter.
On the moonlit night of October 11 the Captain General (Columbus would be called Admiral after fulfilling the obligations of his contract with the monarchs by finding land) thought that he had seen lights in the distance. Two hour past midnight on the morning of October 12 a lookout named Rodrígo de Triana (sometimes called Juan Rodríguez Bermejo), on the Pinta, cried out “ Tierra! Tierra!.”
A new era began for humankind on the morning of October 12, 1492, when the Admiral and a handful of the excited but weary voyagers set foot on land after 36 days of sailing. Columbus raised the royal standard and two captains each carried banners decorated with green crosses and letters representing Ferdinand and Isabel. Soon the curious and naked natives, with some trepidation, came out of their hiding places and greeted the visitors. Although this momentous encounter took place on a relatively inconspicuous island, never again would the world be the same. The actual landfall site is still a question that stirs passions among mariners and historians alike. Called Guanahaní by the natives, Columbus claimed the land for his sovereigns and renamed it San Salvador (in honor of the Savior Jesus Christ), but no one today knows for sure which island it was, perhaps Watling Island or the Semana Cay. Ten or more islands in the Bahamas fit the physical description as recorded by Columbus’ in his journal, described simply as large and flat, with bright green trees and much water.
Columbus alone held the stage. His greatest glory came when he appeared before Ferdinand and Isabella at the royal palace in Barcelona and was invited to sit with them and even eat at the same table. With a parade of exotic natives and colorful parrots, he told his tale of the voyage and of the islands with their lush vegetation and strange inhabitant; he reported on spices, gold, cannibals, and mermaids; and he showed the gold he had brought home, some of it in the form of crowns and large masks but other in the form of ornaments and nuggets and even dust.
All of his titles and rewards were reconfirmed, and he was addressed by his new title “Admiral of the Ocean Seas.” He received 1,000 doubloons, the equivalent of 345,000 maravedis. Columbus owned the day; he delivered what he had promised—at least everybody at the Spanish court thought so.

October 12th: Watch Day
I just got a heads by receiving Joel Rosenberg’s email newsletter about October 12th being what I will call the Muslim observance of why Israel should not be in Jerusalem.
You can read more about it here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Day_of_Quds
October 12th also happens to be the day that Columbus sighted the “New World”.
Wow…lots of stuff going on!

There is still Hope...
I was disappointed as we’ve made it through the fall feasts and even October 6th with no Rapture.
There is still hope and I have found that in my exuberance in anticipating the Rapture I had a major oversight.
For those who have become discouraged with looking at dates and other information relating to the Rapture, I’d like to encourage you with this:
Jesus’ command to us was to watch. We can’t always know everything, and that’s okay. When I was in the Navy I stood watch regularly as we were out to sea. You scan the surface of the earth (earthly things) and also the sky (heavenly things). Simple. It’s okay to go on searching and looking and reporting. What you would get in trouble for would be not watching, sleeping or not reporting.
Anyway…
Here is my main blunder in looking at October 6th. The main scripture in the testimony’s I’ve written (they are all under “recent additions” at my website: www.tony4yhwh.com ) is Exodus 21:1-6
2 If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years; and in the seventh he shall go out free and pay nothing.
I had assumed that it would be 6 years to the day. It says “he shall serve six years” and in the seventh he shall go out free. The seventh year could really be anytime after the completion of the 6 years. It really is hard to interpret exactly when this could be, but it does put us on notice to watch heavily…
Also, in my testimony I had mentioned Columbus Day (which is today as I am writing). It has been 515 years since Columbus discovered America. 515 at the Bible Wheel speaks to the “time appointed” according to the Bible Wheel and has ties into “Kellie & Tony’s Prophetic Wedding Ring” that I wrote about.
http://www.biblewheel.com/GR/GR_515.asp
On October 6th my wife Kellie and I were doing an outing for Open Door Mission under a tent and clock tower for a food drive. What was interesting is that a little boy came up to where we were handing out waters several times. Kellie who works well with little kids was talking to him and we found out his name was Truman. I wrote quite a bit about the movie Truman and its relevance to the Rapture. Truman’s boat that he is sailing to the end of his world at the end of the movie is called “Santa Maria” which is the name of the main ship the Columbus sailed to discover the Americas in 1492. Then later Kellie and I were going to Village Inn after the Open Door Mission event and while we were waiting to be seated an older lady was getting her change and the manager said “Here’s your change, $14.92”. The lady said “that was a good year” and I couldn’t help myself and said “yes, and Columbus Day is this Monday…”
Also, Columbus actually sighted America on October 12th, so its worth watching this week…
Later this month is Cheshvan 17 which is Noah Day…
Lots to still watch for…
Blessings,
Tony

Joshua means Yeshua - Jesus!!!
On the 9th day, after the finale of the 8th day of the Feast of Tabernacles is Simchat Torah.
Deuteronomy 33:27: - 34:12 is read.
This is where Moses dies and Joshua takes over leadership.
I believe this is significant and may allude to the timing of a change.
Israel without the knowledge of Jesus identifies with the Law and Moses. I believe that this is the spiritual reason Moses was not allowed to go into the Promised land. He went to the top of a mountain, saw the Promised land from afar and died. Since YHWH’s point to Israel and all of us is that we cannot keep the law, then not even Moses was allowed to enter in – point being we NEED Jesus. Our own righteousness according to the law will never get us into the Promised land.
It is Joshua, which is the same name as Jesus that will take us into the Promised land.
(The word Jesus is the Latin form of the Greek Iesous, which in turn is the transliteration of the Hebrew Jeshua, or Joshua and also Joshua means Jehovah is Salvation)
Joshua even meets the Angel of the Lord with an outstretched sword. It is this Jesus and not some sort of social worker that Satan and this world will find.
All very relevant stuff for watching!!!
Blessings,
Tony

Final Judgment Day
I was looking at my studies from last year in watching for the Rapture through the Feast of Tabernacles. The 7th day is referred to as Hoshanah Rabba and I found some things worth repeating:
Final judgement
Hosha'na Rabba is known as the day of the final sealing of judgment, which began on Rosh Hashanah.
I wrote quite a bit about the beginning of Revelation being written as a legal proceeding (full article www.tony4yhwh.com under Judge of the Universe):
Here is a quick recap: 1. Rosh Hashanah, trumpet, legal proceeding begins 2. Yom Kippur final court ruling 3. Hoshana Rabba final signed document
Just like the Jewish wedding is relevant and helps us see the picture, so is a legal proceeding. It has always been important. Adam & Eve in the garden, Abraham & YHWH had a covenant, Moses & Israel, etc. God is the “Judge of the Universe”. This is what David meant by “better is one day in your courts…”.
This is why in my testimony also at my website “Hometown Morning – Rapture Upon Us” I tried to lay out the evidence with the documents like a lawyer in a courtroom. Each step of my testimony God gave me there was a legal document (which I scanned in and show most of the pertinent documentation). This leads to a conclusion that the Rapture truly may be upon us by this October 6th.
Hosha'na Rabba is the end of the High Holy Day season, when the world is judged for the coming year.
Blessings,
Tony

The Truman Show
I feel like this past weekend was very, very significant and that God revealed to me some relevant things concerning the upcoming rapture in regards to the fall feasts. It will take me a while to put it all together (in other words more coming under separate cover).
My wife happened to buy a DVD that I believe has prophetic significance this weekend. Maybe you have seen it; it’s called the Truman show. Neither her nor I were expecting anything in regards to the rapture or end times when we agreed to watch it.
If you have not seen it, and are willing simply to take me at my word and watch it then it is available at Walmart in the $5 movie bin. I say that because I’m going to mention a few things that are in the movie and even the ending so this is your:
*** spoiler warning ***
I could really write quite a bit about this movie and the spiritual and prophetic parallels are tremendous. Jim Carey plays a man named Truman who was born inside a city sized dome that is really a reality television show about his life, only he is unaware that he is an actor in this whole set up. There is a lot of deep subject matter that could lead to deep discussion, however I’m going to be more brief and to the point leaving you to either watch the show or rewatch it if interested.
I relate the story, the reality television show and the dome to this world. I have called this world the “Big Blue Marble Courtroom” and have a more in depth study of this called “God is Sovereign” which you can read at my website: www.tony4yhwh.com . Satan and his demons are really in control of many aspects and even persons in this world. Many Christians play the part of an “unknowing” actor in this event. Some are more aware than others.
At the end of the movie Truman is willing to face fear and all that he knows to try and escape this false world. In his escape in a sail boat he overcomes a storm and other efforts to stop his escape attempt. Finally, through endurance he sails to the “end” of this world and actually crashes his boat into the “sky” which is really an artificial boundary that was his unknown cell wall. Truman then finds his way along the boundary and to some stairs up into the “sky” and to an OPEN DOOR. The Director, who’s name is Christof then counts on Truman’s fear that he will not walk through the door into the unknown world.
To which Truman says: “In case I don’t see you again, good morning, good afternoon, good evening & good night” and walks through the OPEN DOOR.
…end of movie.
The Open Door, sky, false world, etc. should all be easy to see the parable of the Rapture there.
The Director who is a a type of Satan or antichrist and his name Chirstof is representative of this.
Truman who would be representative of God’s elect and the name says this plainly: Truman or True man
The town is called Seahaven and the Bible has used the sea as a picture type of this world.
The sail boat Truman uses to sail out of this false world has a number on it: 139
My wife Kellie looked up Psalms 139 when this movie was over. I’ll let God’s word speak for itself in relation to the movie (the relevance is fairly self evident)
Psalm 139
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1 O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.
5 You hem me in—behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, [a] you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,"
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to [b] me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.
19 If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
20 They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name.
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD, and abhor those who rise up against you?
22 I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Blessings,

If you have not seen it, and are willing simply to take me at my word and watch it then it is available at Walmart in the $5 movie bin. I say that because I’m going to mention a few things that are in the movie and even the ending so this is your:
*** spoiler warning ***
I could really write quite a bit about this movie and the spiritual and prophetic parallels are tremendous. Jim Carey plays a man named Truman who was born inside a city sized dome that is really a reality television show about his life, only he is unaware that he is an actor in this whole set up. There is a lot of deep subject matter that could lead to deep discussion, however I’m going to be more brief and to the point leaving you to either watch the show or rewatch it if interested.
I relate the story, the reality television show and the dome to this world. I have called this world the “Big Blue Marble Courtroom” and have a more in depth study of this called “God is Sovereign” which you can read at my website: www.tony4yhwh.com . Satan and his demons are really in control of many aspects and even persons in this world. Many Christians play the part of an “unknowing” actor in this event. Some are more aware than others.
At the end of the movie Truman is willing to face fear and all that he knows to try and escape this false world. In his escape in a sail boat he overcomes a storm and other efforts to stop his escape attempt. Finally, through endurance he sails to the “end” of this world and actually crashes his boat into the “sky” which is really an artificial boundary that was his unknown cell wall. Truman then finds his way along the boundary and to some stairs up into the “sky” and to an OPEN DOOR. The Director, who’s name is Christof then counts on Truman’s fear that he will not walk through the door into the unknown world.
To which Truman says: “In case I don’t see you again, good morning, good afternoon, good evening & good night” and walks through the OPEN DOOR.
…end of movie.
The Open Door, sky, false world, etc. should all be easy to see the parable of the Rapture there.
The Director who is a a type of Satan or antichrist and his name Chirstof is representative of this.
Truman who would be representative of God’s elect and the name says this plainly: Truman or True man
The town is called Seahaven and the Bible has used the sea as a picture type of this world.
The sail boat Truman uses to sail out of this false world has a number on it: 139
My wife Kellie looked up Psalms 139 when this movie was over. I’ll let God’s word speak for itself in relation to the movie (the relevance is fairly self evident)
Psalm 139
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1 O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.
5 You hem me in—behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, [a] you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,"
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to [b] me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.
19 If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
20 They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name.
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD, and abhor those who rise up against you?
22 I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Blessings,
Tony

Judge of the Universe
Judge of the Universe
September 15, 2007
At various times in my life I feel like YHWH has used real life experiences as “visions” for me to write about and share. Nothing is more heartfelt for me than watching, waiting and looking for the Rapture. I enjoy reading, sharing and posting on fivedoves because of the common bond that this “Church” shares in these same desires.
At the risk of sounding narcissistic in any way I believe I have a prophetic personal experience that may be helpful in looking for the Rapture. Many persons relate to God and hear from Him in different ways. I am a novice in astronomy, gematria and many other areas, but I have much insight God has allowed me from personal testimony and also some scriptural insight.
My wife and I were married this year and I believe there may be some prophetic parallels. We did receive some miraculous confirmation that this may be the case and you may read about this testimony under the story “Kellie & Tony’s Prophetic Wedding Ring” at www.tony4yhwh.com. Also, I have some additional documentation at the end of this story.
If I can start off by covering something personal that God has taught me in how things work in the order of His Kingdom. God very much utilizes some of the things we are familiar with. The specific things I am referring to for the purposes of this story are court, judges, decrees and orders.
Because my children’s lives have been in danger I have dealt with the legal system with regularity. I have a significant amount of testimony where God has deeply refined me in this area and taught me some deep truths. What is relevant is that always a Judge issues a decision and then attorneys write up the decree and send it to the Judge for his final approval. I have seen this in practice many times. The order is no good until the Judge’s final signature is on the final order.
This is not only true in confrontational type cases, but also marriages. Kellie and I were married this year on May 12th. Ten days later on May 22nd the marriage decree was sealed and signed by the court. The marriage was announced on the 12th and was when we had our ceremony. The marriage became legal when it was signed on the 22nd. The 22nd this past year happened to be the Jewish feast of Shavuot.
I believe that Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur have a similar type of relationship. Rosh Hashanah is the Feast of Trumpets or the announcement if you will. The ten days in between the two dates are referred to as the Days of Awe. The Feast of Trumpets is the day when we are woke up and brought to attention that YHWH has opened the Book of Life. The ten days are a time for repentance. At the end of the ten days the fate is sealed for everyone for the upcoming year and the Heavenly Gates are closed.
Rosh Hashanah is the start of the trial, the ten days of awe the trial itself and Yom Kippur the final decision, decree and signed document. There was a very good post in fivedoves about this recently: http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/sep2007/taylor915.htm. This post talks about how Revelation is laid out in this manner. There are seven letters to the Churches most importantly the last three: Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea. Sardis, is told that it has a reputation for being alive, but is dead and is told they are asleep on watch. Philadelphia of course is the church any person would want to be and is given the Rapture promise of an open door. Laodicea is basically given a tongue lashing by Jesus.
These are the rendering of judgments to the Churches. Notice in Revelation 1:10 it precedes all the messages with a Trumpet blast. “…I heard behind me a voice like the sound of a trumpet…” The Trumpet blast relates to Rosh Hashanah, the beginning of court or the pronouncement of the decrees. John is told to record these messages, like a court reporter.
The Philadelphians are promised an Open Door. If these are judgments rendered then why are the commendations, rebukes or advice still open ended but not definite? Because of the ten days of awe between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Even the Philadelphians are told to hold fast to what they have so that they will not lose their crowns.
Once you have the mindset of a courtroom and judge I believe you will see that all the letters to the Churches read like legal decrees. Once John is called (Raptured) to Heaven look at the scene and see if it does not look like a courtroom. The first thing he sees is the Almighty on the throne. Around this throne are twenty four other thrones. This judge and jury consist of the Almighty and His twenty four elders.
As intimidating as any courtroom can be for someone on trial there is none more intimidating than this one. There flashes of lightning, peals of thunder and many wild creatures.
I’m just going to quote the next verse in Revelation as we see the legal document:
Revelation 5
1 I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a book written inside and on the back, sealed up with seven seals. 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the book and break its seals?” 3 And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the book or to look into it. 4 Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look into it; 5 and one of the elders said to me, “Stop weeping; behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals.”
6 And I saw between the throne (with the four living creatures) and the elders a Lamb standing, as if slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth. 7 And He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne. 8 When He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense which are prayers of the saints.
Many people have speculated about this book. What is clear is that it is a legal instrument and knowing what I have already mentioned in terms of characteristics of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur it directly correlates Revelation with these two Fall Feasts. The Book of Life is to be determined in finality on Yom Kippur, also it is a Jewish belief that on Yom Kippur Moses came down the second time with the Ten Commandments which would be Israel’s legal documents.
Right after this legal document is claimed by Jesus then he breaks “one of the seven seals”. The rider on the white horse who goes out to conquer is released. Many believe this to be the Antichrist. This would make sense and I believe this to be true. The Rapture has taken place and now the restrainer is removed, which may in fact be the legal document. The legal document has to do with the Church, Rapture and Holy Spirit so this is not in conflict with any of these ideas.
Some ideas in regards to the timing of the Rapture
I believe we need to watch through the rest of the Fall Feasts including Tabernacles, but if I were to guess Yom Kippur has to be watched with extreme interest. I know that it is widely believed that the Feast of Trumpets would be the Rapture feast and I still believe it holds significant importance in the announcement of the whole proceeding. Here are some thoughts to ponder:
A clue that Yom Kippur needs to be included with Trumpets is the 40 days from Elul 1 to Yom Kippur. It is 40 days from Elul 1, the days of repentance that run through the Feast of Trumpets, the Ten days of Awe and into finality at the “Last Trumpet” on Yom Kippur. It is believed that the Rapture will lead to Jewish repentance and their understanding that Jesus is the true Messiah. Jonah is read on Yom Kippur. As directed by YHWH, Jonah gave Nineveh 40 days to repent. In which time they did repent. It was Jesus that said:
Matthew 12 (blue my comments)
The Desire for Signs
38Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from You."
39But He answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation craves for a sign; and yet no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet;
40for just as JONAH WAS THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE BELLY OF THE SEA MONSTER, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41"The men of Nineveh (Gentiles) will stand up with this generation at the judgment, and will condemn it because they repented at the preaching of Jonah (Jews); and behold something greater than Jonah is here.
The first fruits Rapture are a test of faith without seeing. The model is the first disciples who ran to the tomb, the disciples in the closed room and finally doubting Thomas who puts his finger in the holes.
My wedding gave me lots of clues and I believe YHWH does that for us all and ministers to us in a personal way. The two-step legal process I have discussed was one clue. Kellie & I were married on May 12th and ten days later it was legal and signed by the Judge on May 22nd (Feast of Shavuot a.ka. Pentecost). Four months later we have September 12th as Rosh Hashanah (Feast of Trumpets eve) and September 22nd as Yom Kippur. The distance between the dates is 4 months or 123 days. Both figures have meaning. I won’t go into the 123 number of Hebrew gematria. Knowing not everyone wants the numbers I have some of this information at the end of this testimony as an appendix. The 4 months is easy as it was Jesus who said “do you not say it is 4 months to the harvest…”
Here was another clue YHWH gave me at my wedding. Kellie and I used a 7 candle Menorah for our unity candle lighting. We have been focusing on looking for the Rapture and simply looking at the Feast of Trumpets. There is good reason for this because it is what starts the whole process. However, like the fulfillment of the first 3 feasts it is a process.
Let’s review. The first 3 feasts are: Passover, Unleavened Bread and Firstfruits. To make it simple, Jesus fulfilled all of these in his death and resurrection.
Now the 4th feast is Pentecost. Remember the flames above the disciple’s heads in Acts? In Revelation 1 the angel tells John about the candlesticks and the meaning:
Revelation 1
20 “…the seven lampstands are the seven churches…”
The fourth feast is Pentecost and is the flame above the disciples head and is also the middle candlestick.
What is left? Again to be simple, the last 3 step process. The Trumpet for the announcement or decree(Feast of Trumpets/Rosh Hashanah), the signed order (Yom Kippur) and then for us to live with Jesus (Feast of Tabernacles) – Jesus’ Father has many, many rooms or mansions right? Let’s go tabernacle with Him!!!
Here is some more personal testimony that is pertinent. I have had an unusually hard time finding employment lately. I have been looking and had to make a decision between a corporate job that paid significantly more and a job at a local Gospel Rescue Mission called the “Open Door Mission”. This was a very hard decision as the corporate job would give me the income I need to provide for my family, while the job at Open Door Mission does not. I struggled for weeks with this decision. Finally I had to make a choice and the timeline I was given was to make a choice by September 12th which was Rosh Hashanah eve. God did give me some help in making the decision but it gets into Hebrew gematria and is listed below under that section. In short, I did take the job at Open Door Mission and start Monday. Many things pointed me to my decision, but there was much insight that helped me make my decision in regards to the Gematria.
Gematria
You can read my story at my website about “Kellie and Tony’s Prophetic Wedding Ring” which has a witness in the way of Gematria. It is also a great testimony as a stand alone outside of the Gematria. God is so awesome to confirm things in so many ways. You can read about it here: www.tony4yhwh.com
The Saturday night before I had to make my decision about my job at Open Door Mission God woke me up in the middle of the night at 4:34 a.m. I had just had a dream about my earthly father and I having a discussion about a river. At first I was disappointed as many persons had written in about the significance of the sequence of numbers 444. I decided to look it up anyway. I was amazed by what I found.
It relates to the Throne of God, Judgment and the Open Door of Revelation 4. Haven’t’ we just been talking about all these things? What a great confirmation that I could have never guessed. Also, “to keep watch” is mentioned. Is there anything else a person with the dream of being Raptured would do??? Here is the link:
http://biblewheel.com/GR/GR_434.asp
Above I had mentioned that it is 123 days between May 12th/May 22nd and September 12th/22nd. The meaning of 123 has to do with the Holy Spirit and Camels. What is that you say? I get the Holy Spirit, but what do camels have to do with all this? Much!!!
One of the very best models of the Rapture and the Bride of Christ is in Genesis with Isaac and Rebecca. Abraham, who stands for our Heavenly Father, sends his servant who stands for the Holy Spirit to get a bride for his son Isaac who stands for Jesus. When the servant gets there he tests the potential bride to be how??? By seeing if when he asks for a drink of water if she will not only offer to give him a drink but also water his camels. And indeed Rebeka does – “I will also draw water for your camels until they have finished drinking…” Also, Laban asks to hold over Rebeka for 10 days. Potentially a clue about Yom Kippur. It is after the mention of the 10 days that Rebeka has to make a final and life altering decision to go with the servant she does not know, to a land she does not know and to a husband she does not know. When Issac, who stands for Jesus sees her coming the scripture reads: “…he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold camels were coming.”
Camels are indeed important. They were also used for bearing treasure and I’ll let you read the rest yourself:

And indeed Rebeka does – “I will also draw water for your camels until they have finished drinking…” Also, Laban asks to hold over Rebeka for 10 days. Potentially a clue about Yom Kippur. It is after the mention of the 10 days that Rebeka has to make a final and life altering decision to go with the servant she does not know, to a land she does not know and to a husband she does not know. When Issac, who stands for Jesus sees her coming the scripture reads: “…he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold camels were coming.”
Camels are indeed important. They were also used for bearing treasure and I’ll let you read the rest yourself:
