Genesis 41
14Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
Revelation 4
1After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
Song of Solomon 4
1Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.
Psalm 41
1Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
2The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
3The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
4I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
5Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
6And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
7All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
8An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
9Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
10But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
11By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
12And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
13Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

Moses hidden 3 months - Pentecost
Doves,
Wade Balzer had some great insight he shared with me as we are looking at 22, 23 and 24 and their clues to the Rapture and significant things God is doing.
Pentecost this year is May 22nd (evening), 23rd day 1 and 24th day 2 (according to my Jews for Jesus calendar!).
Moses’ b-day is this Sunday February 25th/Adar 7.
Here are two of the scriptures Wade shared with me:
Exd 2:2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he [was a] goodly [child], she hid him three months.
Hbr 11:23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw [he was] a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
I believe that Wade will have a post as well. This is why it’s so important to be the “body” and roundtable our thoughts. Without his insight I may have not seen this at all.
Iron sharpens Iron!!!!!! Thanks John & all for the Doves and taking time to share.

Question of the Sabbath
23(A)And it happened that He was passing through the grainfields on the Sabbath, and His disciples began to make their way along while (B)picking the heads of grain.
Wineskins are bodies. The new wine will be put into new bodies, not old ones. Picking the heads of grain is a subsequent harvest.

22"Men of Israel, listen to these words: (A)Jesus the Nazarene, (B)a man attested to you by God with miracles and (C)wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know--

Adar 3 was yesterday (2/21) and was the day that the temple was complete (Ezra 6:15 This temple was completed on the third day of the month Adar; it was the sixth year of the reign of King Darius.)
22So when He was raised from the dead, His (B)disciples (C)remembered that He said this; and they believed (D)the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.
23Now when He was in Jerusalem at (E)the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, (F)observing His signs which He was doing.
24But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for (G)He knew all men,
Luke 2:22-26 (New American Standard Bible)
22(A)And when the days for their purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought Him up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord

25And there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was (D)righteous and devout, (E)looking for the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

22"It is He who (D)reveals the profound and hidden things; (E)He knows what is in the darkness, And the (F)light dwells with Him.
23"To You, O (G)God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, For You have given me (H)wisdom and power; Even now You have made known to me what we (I)requested of You, For You have made known to us the king's matter."
24Therefore, Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and spoke to him as follows: "(J)Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon! Take me into the king's presence, and I will declare the interpretation to the king."
Daniel is saved and promoted for this intervention of faith. He then sits in the King’s gate while Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego face tribulation & fire (the 4th man shows up and saves them – Praise YHWH!)
Esther 2:20-24 (New American Standard Bible)
20(A)Esther had not yet made known her kindred or her people, even as Mordecai had commanded her; for Esther did what Mordecai told her as she had done (B)when under his care.

21So she said, "(A)Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother as a wife."
Bathsheba is asked by Adonijah for the virgin who belonged to his father David
22King Solomon answered and said to his mother, "And why are you asking Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? (B)Ask for him also the kingdom--(C)for he is my older brother--even for him, for (D)Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah!"
23Then King Solomon swore by the LORD, saying, "May God do so to me and more also, if Adonijah has (E)not spoken this word against his own life.
24"Now therefore, as the LORD lives, who has established me and set me on the throne of David my father and (F)who has made me a house as He promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death today."

21(B)I also will no longer drive out before them any of the nations which Joshua left when he died,
22in order to (C)test Israel by them, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk in it as their fathers did, or not."

23Now it came about in the course of those many days that the king of Egypt died. And the sons of Israel (E)sighed because of the bondage, and they cried out; and (F)their cry for help because of their bondage rose up to God.

22"My God (AH)sent His angel and (AI)shut the lions' mouths and they have not harmed me, inasmuch as I was found innocent before Him; and also toward you, O king, I have committed no crime."
Deliverance, departure, marked (Master’s approval)
23Then the king was very pleased and gave orders for Daniel to be taken up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den and (AJ)no injury whatever was found on him, because he had (AK)trusted in his God.
Taken up out of the den, trusted God
24The king then gave orders, and they brought those men who had maliciously accused Daniel, and they (AL)cast them, their (AM)children and their wives into the lions' den; and they had not reached the bottom of the den before the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.
Destruction of enemies

Ash Wednesday, forehead, bondservants
There are only two marks – YHWH’s and anti-christ. This relates to becoming a bond-servant (see earlier posts on fivedoves or my blog section of www.tony4yhwh.com)
Exodus 13:9 (1st mention of forehead)"And it shall serve as a sign to you on your hand, and as a reminder on your forehead, that the law of the LORD may be in your mouth; for with a powerful hand the LORD brought you out of Egypt.
David defeated Goliath by launching a stone into his forehead. Ezekiel’s forehead was made like flint.
*Note today is 2/21 Ash Wednesday
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ash_Wednesday
21st mention of forehead (NAS)
Revelation 7:3saying, " Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the bond-servants of our God on their foreheads."Revelation 7:2-4 (in Context) Revelation 7 (Whole Chapter)
22nd mention of forehead
Revelation 9:4They were told not to hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only the men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
24th mention
Revelation 14:1[ The Lamb and the 144,000 on Mount Zion ] Then I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads.
Last mention in the Bible:
Revelation 22:4they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads.
23rd mention of mark, having to do with anti-christ
Revelation 13:16And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,

Exodus 21
1 "These are the laws you are to set before them:
Hebrew Servants
2 "If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free, without paying anything. 3 If he comes alone, he is to go free alone; but if he has a wife when he comes, she is to go with him. 4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free.
5 "But if the servant declares, 'I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,' 6 then his master must take him before the judges. [a] He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life.

22 - Rapture flight ticket #
My personal belief is that somehow 22 is“Rapture flight” ticket # if you will. I see evidences in scripture, by the Spirit and confirmations in my life. I believe there will be multiple raptures, each producing a subsequent, greater harvest. At the time of departure, their will be both jubilation (leaving), sadness (separation), repentance (those left behind) and also the anti-christ movement, unveiling.
Notice that this Friday a wicked movie called 23 is coming out the same day a movie called "Amazing Grace" is coming out. (Dr. Pepper has an ad running going on and on about #23)

10 Virgins/Bride'smaids vs. 10 Lepers
Much mention is made of the 10 virgins/bridesmaids and rightfully so. Many various theories about whether this is pre or post rapture and whether they are the bridesmaids or the virgins. Either way the principal stands, which is to be ready.
My personal belief is that there will be more than one rapture. Each rapture will give birth to a larger harvest. I think that the following passage is worth looking at in regard to this (notice it is in chapter 17 and with 37 verses):
Luke 17
11And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
13And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
15And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
16And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
18There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
After this happening, the time of the end is foretold:
20And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
22And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
23And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
24For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
25But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
26And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
32Remember Lot's wife.
33Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
34I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
36Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
37And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

The Tree is planted
Isaiah 61
3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.
I do believe this weekend was extremely significant. I pray in the morning and I often open up “randomly” to scripture for my daily devotional. Both Friday and Saturday I opened to this scripture. The chances were low that I would do this one time – twice was a good confirmation. I believe that this was God’s confirmation that the tree has been planted. We are not always able to see everything with our eyes.
I had a long and hard fought personal victory Friday. I have been divorced for 7 years and 10 months. To summarize, my ex wife had driven drunk with my children in the car among other things I won’t mention. I have forgiven her multiple times for many things. It has been an excruciatingly hard battle where many times I felt like Abraham in that I was turning my children over to possible death and they were truly in the Lord’s hands. Many, many times the court worked completely backwards. In 2004 I failed to gain custody & supervised visitation despite her being caught driving drunk with the kids in the car two weeks before the final hearing. I lost my job, savings and nearly my will to battle on. I still pray with my kids for their mom. This summer the situation escalated once again and I prayerfully decided to take action. I did get an emergency court order in July to protect the kids. The final court date was originally scheduled on Rosh Hashana this year (Sept 22nd). It has been delayed until this Friday, which happened to be Rosh Hashana for trees in Israel – Tu B’ Shevat. Finally, after all this I have custody of my kids and their mom is on supervised visitations. I can’t tell you how hard this journey was.
I was so happy to see the SuperBowl and the 2 Christian coaches. Praise God! The owner of the Colts mentioned God and prayer and Tony Dungy mentioned winning the Lord’s way and also downplayed the fact that it was 2 black coaches in the SuperBowl for the fact that there were 2 Christian coaches in the SuperBowl for the first time. Think of what it took for him to do that. I’m not saying it’s not significant that both are the first Afro-American coaches, but Tony Dungy really did it right I believe in God’s eyes. He won’t be rewarded by the media and this world – but he will be by the Lord. Also, it rained the whole SuperBowl in front of these two witnesses to the whole world (the SuperBowl in telecast world wide). Prince performed at halftime (I’m not a fan of his at all!) and ended with the song Purple Rain. I believe we are coming into a season where a “true” purple, standing for royalty rain and also reign will begin – Jesus Christ – King of Kings!
Groundhog day, told us that it will be an early spring.
Who knows what all was discussed at the world political talks, but God knows!
An Iranian Nuclear scientist was assassinated and reported over the weekend. What action or reaction will that bring from Iran to Israel (who is believed to have carried this out).
Keep watching the surface of the earth and the things of the air (just like any standard Navy/military watch) and we will see the Lord coming soon. The tree is planted, the rain is come and soon the Reign will come!!!!!!!!

I had a long and hard fought personal victory Friday. I have been divorced for 7 years and 10 months. To summarize, my ex wife had driven drunk with my children in the car among other things I won’t mention. I have forgiven her multiple times for many things. It has been an excruciatingly hard battle where many times I felt like Abraham in that I was turning my children over to possible death and they were truly in the Lord’s hands. Many, many times the court worked completely backwards. In 2004 I failed to gain custody & supervised visitation despite her being caught driving drunk with the kids in the car two weeks before the final hearing. I lost my job, savings and nearly my will to battle on. I still pray with my kids for their mom. This summer the situation escalated once again and I prayerfully decided to take action. I did get an emergency court order in July to protect the kids. The final court date was originally scheduled on Rosh Hashana this year (Sept 22nd). It has been delayed until this Friday, which happened to be Rosh Hashana for trees in Israel – Tu B’ Shevat. Finally, after all this I have custody of my kids and their mom is on supervised visitations. I can’t tell you how hard this journey was.
I was so happy to see the SuperBowl and the 2 Christian coaches. Praise God! The owner of the Colts mentioned God and prayer and Tony Dungy mentioned winning the Lord’s way and also downplayed the fact that it was 2 black coaches in the SuperBowl for the fact that there were 2 Christian coaches in the SuperBowl for the first time. Think of what it took for him to do that. I’m not saying it’s not significant that both are the first Afro-American coaches, but Tony Dungy really did it right I believe in God’s eyes. He won’t be rewarded by the media and this world – but he will be by the Lord. Also, it rained the whole SuperBowl in front of these two witnesses to the whole world (the SuperBowl in telecast world wide). Prince performed at halftime (I’m not a fan of his at all!) and ended with the song Purple Rain. I believe we are coming into a season where a “true” purple, standing for royalty rain and also reign will begin – Jesus Christ – King of Kings!
Groundhog day, told us that it will be an early spring.
Who knows what all was discussed at the world political talks, but God knows!
An Iranian Nuclear scientist was assassinated and reported over the weekend. What action or reaction will that bring from Iran to Israel (who is believed to have carried this out).
Keep watching the surface of the earth and the things of the air (just like any standard Navy/military watch) and we will see the Lord coming soon. The tree is planted, the rain is come and soon the Reign will come!!!!!!!!
Blessings,
Tony

2nd Virgin Gathering of Esther & King's gate
I really believe that this part of the 2nd Chapter of Esther is key to understanding something regarding the Rapture. The movie “One Night with the King”, the movie of Esther has come out this year. The month of Tebeth has come and gone. Now, there will still be a month of Tebeth in 2007, but that won’t be for a while. My job as I stand on watch, as I see it, is to watch the current sky and horizon (standard military Navy watch – what YHWH has shown me how to do).
I’m unsure what the virgins being assembled a 2nd time is all about. I’d love to hear theories, thoughts and hypothesis on this. Here is what I know:
The kings gate and Mordecai is representative of Mordecai being with the king. This is similar to Daniel and Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego – models of 1st and 2nd rapture (also Elijah & Elisha). Daniel sat at the king’s gate when Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were being tested by the golden idol and thrown into the fire (tribulation), where there bondage was destroyed and the 4th man showed up and they were rescued by God from the fire.
Notice the gate (which may relate to the rapture “door” in some way & is the king’s gate) was guarded by two that would betray the king. My thought is demonic forces. Mordecai, whose name means warrior, turns them in to Queen Esther who turns them into the Queen. Notice how Mordecai and Esther are “linked”. It may be like the church being “linked” with the Holy Spirit. Esther is definitely an intercessor and stands before the king asking for her people to be saved. After being reported to the king the two “conspirators” guarding the king’s gate are hung on the gallows. This leaves the gate to be guarded by “loyal” servants of the king.
Read for yourself and let me know your thoughts:
Mordecai Uncovers a Conspiracy
19 When the virgins were assembled a second time, Mordecai was sitting at the king's gate. 20 But Esther had kept secret her family background and nationality just as Mordecai had told her to do, for she continued to follow Mordecai's instructions as she had done when he was bringing her up.
21 During the time Mordecai was sitting at the king's gate, Bigthana [b] and Teresh, two of the king's officers who guarded the doorway, became angry and conspired to assassinate King Xerxes. 22 But Mordecai found out about the plot and told Queen Esther, who in turn reported it to the king, giving credit to Mordecai. 23 And when the report was investigated and found to be true, the two officials were hanged on a gallows. [c] All this was recorded in the book of the annals in the presence of the king.
Blessings,
Tony

February 2nd - 4th Watch notes
I really have no clue what will happen, but I’ll have my eyes to the sky and ears to the ground waiting and watching to see what happens:
February 2nd - 3rd Sabbath
Rosh Hashanah for Trees Day – Tu B’ Shevat (eve, Friday February 2nd into Saturday 3rd Sabbath)
This day the meeting of the world superpowers over middle east peace.
Groundhog Day to see if Spring is near (for fun see 1993 Ground Hog day movie with Bill Murray in it where he is selfish and has to repeat this same day over and over to learn where he has gone wrong….kind of like a personal tribulation…)
· Candlemas Day – Purification of the Virgin, Historic Christian feast day. Purification of the Virgin Mary and the presentation of the infant Jesus in the Temple. Candlemas marked the end of the Christmas and Epiphany season. 40 days after Christmas and the 33rd day of the year. Reference: Luke 2:22 22When the time of their purification according to the Law of Moses had been completed, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord.” Simeon the Righteous (also Simeon the Elder, Simeon the God-Receiver, or Holy Simeon) is the "just and devout" man of Jerusalem who, according to Luke 2:25-35, met the Virgin Mary and Jesus as they entered the Temple to fulfill the requirements of the Law of Moses on the fortieth day from Jesus' birth. The events in the life of Saint Simeon the Righteous are observed on both 2 February and 3 February. The observances of the first day center around memorializing the act of Mary undergoing an act of ritual purification, and presenting Jesus, her child, to the Temple. The events of the latter day are to observe the death of Saint Simeon, who according to the tradition was allowed to die after seeing the Christ (or Messiah) born of a virgin.
Observed to be the first day & coming of spring in Israel. Also, midpoint between winter and spring equinox.
· JERUSALEM – The replacement tomorrow (February 2nd) in the Al Aqsa Mosque of a key podium transported with the coordination of Israeli security forces is "proof" the Temple Mount belongs only to Muslims and will never be returned to Jewish sovereignty, according to the leader of the Wafq – the Muslim custodians of the Temple Mount.
Super Bowl Sunday February 4rd
· Two Christian men & both are the first Afro American men to coach in the SuperBowl, both very close friends who share their faith.
· 40 SuperBowls have taken place. This will be the 41st. Significance in the number 40.
· In NFL ProFootball world this is still the year of 2006, as the SuperBowl Champion will be the 2006 season champion.
· Prince will be performing at halftime (signifying the “false prince” of this world? Or ushering in a new true prince of this world?)
· Prince is known for his song “1999” – end of an age song
· Prince wears purple for royalty and is also known for his song Purple Rain.
