Please reference my testimony of the Captain & the Navy at my website: www.tony4yhwh.com under about the Author and “My Prophetic Experience in the Navy”.
This is in reference to the dates of April 28th – June 22nd, but I am closely watching May 1st – 7th
19 is an important number 19 X 2 = 38 and it has been 38 years since man landed on the moon. The lunar (Hebrew) calendar repeats dates every 19 years. In 1989 during the Alaskan Oil Spill YHWH gave me a prophetic vision which I reference above. This was not a dream but rather a real life parable of which I had no understanding and I am still learning from it today. I suspect you have a real life parable/vision as well and this may help in some way.
…something about my watch in the Navy. When I was in deck I was the lowest department “deck” and then elevated to the highest Captain’s office – yeoman. In deck I stood watch and in the Captain’s office I did not. To make ready for this privilege a seemingly “bad” event happened in that I was sent “mess cranking”. In this time I took care of the Captain, although it was not time for me to directly serve in his office.
One day a “yeoman” fell and though I was unqualified and “not recommended” I was “approved” by the Captain. One night out to sea when I was standing a middle of the night watch, the Captain called my name and from that time I was released from deck department and put directly into service by the Captain. I served in his office taking care of his correspondence and also was by his side during wartime (GQ) relaying his commands to the rest of the ship. This happened in the month of May – June. Exactly on Rosh Hashanah 1989, September 30th he recognized me on the flight deck for service in his office and also sent word to my family for Sailor of the Quarter. I serve only two years in a program called the Navy Sea College Program. 19 years later and Rosh Hashanah will be on September 30th again. The lunar calendar repeats every 19 years.
19 is 10 (ordinal completion) and 9 (judgment), but also it is 12 (government) and 7 (spiritual perfection).
I’ve been working hard to try and figure out the date of the night the Captain “called my name”. We left to go up to the Oil Spill on April 28th
http://navysite.de/ships/lsd43.htm
and returned June 22nd. This covers dates that many others are looking for this year (Ascension Day, all the dates in regards to Israel and Jerusalem), Pentecost, Shavout, etc.
I am 38 years old (19 X 2) and will be 39 on May 5th. May 5th happens to be a significant Rapture watch date from the year 2000 (planet alignment) and 2005 (5/5/5 ascension day). May 5th this year falls on a Monday. Monday’s name originates from “moon” day. In 1969 I was born on Monday as well. As history shows 2 years after Jerusalem was retaken man landed on the moon in July of 1969 in the “Apollo” program.
I also did an analysis of my birth dates (like David said “Lord teach me to # my days) and I’ve had 6 Monday (moon day) birthdays, this May 5th will be the 7th. Also in 1989 on May 5th was Nissan 30th and Rosh Chodesh New Moon and this year is Rosh Chodesh New Moon.
I am not sure what day the Captain called my name, but I know I was standing a middle of the night watch and I believe we were underway to Alaska. I don’t remember how many days it took us to make our way up there but it is probable that we would have been there around the May 5th timeframe. Also, May 1st which is Ascension Day is a possibility.
I did some calculations knowing my ship left San Diego on April 29th 1989 and it had a maximum speed of 22 knots. Approximating the mileage to be about 3,700 then it likely took about 6 – 7 days which does put the time frame at around May 4th – 5th. May 4th in 1989 was Ascension Day.
I always used to wonder why someone would go on an Alaskan Cruise. But I’ll always remember when we pulled in between two snow capped mountains with Pine Trees. The water was completely placid and while I was on the Bridge I could see flying fish, porpoises, and everyone including the Office of the Deck dropped their jaws when several stark Black and white Killer Whales came up out of the water. It was amazing! When we finally got to the Oil Spill spot it was deeply disturbing. The area is called Prince William sound. It is also disturbing that this story is still in the news recently (19 years later) and Exxon which is experiencing record profits is trying to get out of its payments for this disaster which it never took responsibility for or fully cleaned up. God sees…
• Astronomy & Gospel of the Stars note: May is the Bull or Rheem in the Bible (Book of Job) and has the Pleiades 7 stars (the doves) and also the “Captain” (the chief star in the bull’s eye and its name means the Captain, Leader & Governor).
Many, many testaments to what God showed me personally during my time in the Navy. I am so grateful for my experience and His love.
Hope this helps in some way.
Blessings,
Tony

Rapture Confirmations: Head vs. Heart
John, along w/ many of the other doves I want to thank you for your recent posts. I was fascinated reading them and best of all it is very compelling information regarding the Rapture and 2008.
Jim Bramlett I want to thank you for connecting me w/ Dr. Swanson and all of the unbelievable date knowledge he was willing to personally go over with me on the phone. I have a lot of respect for anyone willing to make their personal phone number and research available. That’s why I took advantage of such a great opportunity.
Doves,
There is quite a difference between head vs. heart confirmations. Don’t get me wrong, I love the numbers, the reason & logic, theology, etc. I have to say that I’ve never really been able to put a firm grip on dreams, but I know that this can be a heart type testimony.
For me, the greatest testimonies are those personal things that God has spoken directly into my heart. Personal miraculous experiences that go beyond the actual event. God’s word does this often such as Abraham and Isaac foreshadowing the Cross & Jesus.
If you had to put all your “marbles” on God where would you put them? In my life that would be “My Prophetic Navy Experience” that took place 19 years ago.
This is where both the head & heart come in to play together (a two strand cord & two witnesses). 19 is a very significant number. 19 according to E.W. Bullinger’s book “Number in Scripture” is made of “10” which stands for ordinal completion and “9” which stands for judgment.
Also, I have found that the lunar calendar repeats itself every 19 years. This is very, very significant to me because my greatest deep hearted testimony took place at this time and unbeknownst to me that year (1989) these events took place at first fruits, Pentecost and Rosh Hashanah. I am absolutely sure this is no coincidence.
All the Jewish feast dates from 19 years ago, 1989 are repeating themselves this year. In my mind and heart these events surely were a foreshadowing and with the knowledge the 19 means ordinal completion (10) and judgment (9) along with the dates repeating themselves I have to be on a “sharp lookout” (Jesus commanded that we watch).
My ship was involved in the clean up of the Alaskan oil spill when much of these prophetically significant events happened in my life. The dates and some brief info is as follows:
Following her return, FORT MCHENRY participated in the cleanup of the EXXON VALDEZ oil spill by deploying to Prince William Sound from 28 April to 22 June 1989. In recognition of the crew's effectiveness during the cleanup operation, FORT MCHENRY was awarded the Meritorious Unit Commendation and the Coast Guard's Special Operations Service Ribbon.
My full testimony on this is at my website (www.tony4yhwh.com ) under “About the Author” and “My Prophetic Navy Experience”. Our personal testimony means the most to us, but I still believe that it is important to pass it on as it is the “testimony of the Saints” that overcomes Satan. It is the living prophetic word in our lives modeling the Patriarchs and all of the testimony in God’s word.
I was just invited and recently my wife and I stayed at a castle in Colorado Springs, CO. We were in the castle on Passover this last weekend and not of our doing they had a red cord outside of our door. We also stayed in Room 206 which has the meaning “God’s Word” in the Biblewheel. It was a Navigators (military ministry) weekend event and I really felt the confirmation with my “My Prophetic Navy Experience” Testimony.
I am anxiously watching through this weekend, but even if it doesn’t happen I believe there are many important dates to be watching and an abundance of reasons to be hopeful for 2008 being the year of the Rapture.

Castle Preparations
I just wanted to acknowledge Jim Bramlett and Dr. Swanson for taking the time and being open to a phone call regarding the Rapture & 2008 (Jim had posted Dr. Swanson’s number on the doves and I took him & Dr. Swanson up on the offer).
I had a wonderful conversation, which was mostly listening to 20 years of research and great insight.
Dr. Swanson is looking at this coming Saturday April 19th/20th.
I will mention a couple of things, but in now way shape or form could I even keep up with his 20 years of deep insight. I did take 5 pages of notes while we were on the phone.
I will just mention a couple of things that are fairly simple to understand and that I have looked at as well.
Pharaoh relates to Satan and also our Exodus from this earth. I found it interesting if my notes are right that Dr. Swanson said that Israel was 7 days from Passover to the Red Sea. I have always thought this same thing about Pharaoh and Moses’ parallels to Jesus. Also, I just wrote a post about the 8th day (2008), circumcision and first born sons. All of this has huge tie-ins with Israel and you’ll likely know that Israel did go out on the very day YHWH prophesied it to happen. He also mentioned the importance of the “full moon” which occurs on the 20th of April. You can look up my prior writings on how I believe the moon relates to New Jerusalem (www.tony4yhwh.com ).
I always try and tie my “facts” w/ how the Holy Spirit is working personally in my life. I believe that a loving father would do this. In counseling circles this would be called “rules with relationship”. My wife last year were married. I have already written a lot of personal testimony regarding our marriage and the prophetic parallels which I believe YHWH has allowed me to see (all of it is at my website). Last year our honeymoon was in the mountains of Colorado where Kellie & I always head when we are able to take a trip (Kellie & I have a blended family w/ 8 children). On our honeymoon we went to Colorado Springs where “Garden of the gods”, “Pike’s Peak” are located. We went to Pike’s Peak and it was raining so we didn’t get out at the Garden of the gods. We “accidentally” ran into the HQ for Navigators. One of my very best friends is a missionary in Australia for them and we’ve supported them as we are able. Navigators owns a castle by their HQ’s called Glen Eryie Castle. Unfortunately the Castle was closed and gated for the day and we were not able to get in to see it. Recently Kellie and I received an invitation from the Navigators to stay a few nights at the Castle. It turns out my friend John from the Navigators put us in for this outing where they are hosting some donors. The room & food are free, and we just have to get there. I mention all of this because of the timing which is in line with Passover this Saturday/Sunday, the full moon, etc. I felt that in many ways Kellie & my wedding had personal prophetic implications so it is very interesting that we were not able to get into the Castle and this year by God’s Sovereignty we will be staying there freely. Our marriage was signed by the courts last year on Pentecost (May 22nd) and I was on top of Pike’s peak with the electricity (which was quite an odd feeling) on Ascension day May 17th. Our wedding day was May 12th and then we had a 7 day honeymoon. I received the invitation from the Navigators this year on Tu’B Shevat.
I am anxiously awaiting and watching intently. I have had disappointments before. I like that Jim Bramlett called Dr. Swanson the Thomas Edison of the Rapture (or something like that). I told Dr. Swanson that I feel like some sort of apprentice trying to glean what I can. If the 19th/20th don’t turn out, I also have reason to believe that the 26th & 27th which may be first fruits (although Dr. Swanson is looking at the 19th & 20th if my notes are correct for first fruits). Anyways, I’m an apprentice learner and expert watcher! So I’ll continue the watch!

Tony

The 8th day; 2008
The 8th Day, 2008
The 8th day is important to firstborn, circumcision and many other things (do a search on “eighth day”). This helps us to understand how important the year 2008 may be while we are anxiously watching for our redemption.
Firstborn
Exodus 22
29 Thou shalt not delay to offer of thy harvest, and of the outflow of thy presses. The first-born of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.
30 Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with its dam (mother); on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.
Mother is likened to the Holy Spirit. The wise Virgins, Barley, etc. have taken to the guiding of the Holy Spirit and now it is time to “wean” away and be given to the Father.
Circumcision
Moses…
Leviticus 12:2-4 (King James Version)
2Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.
3And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
This all started with Abraham…
Genesis 17
1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be the father of a multitude of nations.
5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for the father of a multitude of nations have I made thee.
6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee and to thy seed after thee.
8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
9 And God said unto Abraham, And as for thee, thou shalt keep my covenant, thou, and thy seed after thee throughout their generations.
10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee: every male among you shall be circumcised.
11 And ye shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of a covenant betwixt me and you.
12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any foreigner that is not of thy seed.
13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
14 And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.
15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.
16 And I will bless her, and moreover I will give thee a son of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be of her.
17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
So late in the world’s life Abraham & Sarah, the father and mother of nations will give birth to a child. The 8th day and circumcision is critical.
Jesus was circumcised (also first born) and then presented in the temple…
Luke 2
21And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
23(As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
Circumcision is critical. Moses is nearly killed because of not circumcising his sons
Exodus
22And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:
23And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.
24And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.
25Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me.
26So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision
Wow. With all Jehovah planned with Moses and yet His word reads that He was ready to kill him for a lack of circumcision of his son.
Also, notice there has been a theme during the Exodus and then Jesus’ birth of a battle of killing “first born sons” between Satan and Jehovah. Pharaoh and Herod killed all the first born sons. Moses escaped in a basket as a child and then when fully grown and trained came back to free his people. Free his people he did and in the process Egypt and Pharaoh wept as the Angel of Death wiped out their firstborn. Jesus has yet to bring about his divine retribution since His first coming.
Circumcision and firstborn and warfare all a theme. This tells us how important the 8th day is. This 8th day may be 2008.
Circumcision of the Heart
Just like the temple is not the building, but the body, the circumcision is not the opening of skin, but the opening of the heart.
Romans 2:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Deuteronomy 10:16
16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.
Circumcision is taking off the flesh…
Colossians 2:10-12
10And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
11In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead
Philippians 3:3
For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
The ultimate firstborn son and “circumcision” example – Jesus
Hebrews 5:7-9
7During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. 8Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered 9and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him
I submit to you that this “circumcision” of the heart is also this “reverent submission” spoken of in Hebrews of the ultimate firstborn son – Jesus Christ.
And it was Jesus that was taken up as the Sacrificial Lamb on Passover, the Unleavened Bread without sin and waved as a Firstfruits offering before the throne.
So it is now in 2008 that we look forward in hope and anticipation to this season…
Watching anxiously…

8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
9 And God said unto Abraham, And as for thee, thou shalt keep my covenant, thou, and thy seed after thee throughout their generations.
10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee: every male among you shall be circumcised.
11 And ye shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of a covenant betwixt me and you.
12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any foreigner that is not of thy seed.
13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
14 And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.
15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.

24And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.
25Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me.
26So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision
Wow. With all Jehovah planned with Moses and yet His word reads that He was ready to kill him for a lack of circumcision of his son.
Also, notice there has been a theme during the Exodus and then Jesus’ birth of a battle of killing “first born sons” between Satan and Jehovah. Pharaoh and Herod killed all the first born sons. Moses escaped in a basket as a child and then when fully grown and trained came back to free his people. Free his people he did and in the process Egypt and Pharaoh wept as the Angel of Death wiped out their firstborn. Jesus has yet to bring about his divine retribution since His first coming.
Circumcision and firstborn and warfare all a theme. This tells us how important the 8th day is. This 8th day may be 2008.
Circumcision of the Heart
Just like the temple is not the building, but the body, the circumcision is not the opening of skin, but the opening of the heart.
Romans 2:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Deuteronomy 10:16
16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.
Circumcision is taking off the flesh…
Colossians 2:10-12
10And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
11In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead
Philippians 3:3
For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
The ultimate firstborn son and “circumcision” example – Jesus
Hebrews 5:7-9
7During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. 8Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered 9and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him
I submit to you that this “circumcision” of the heart is also this “reverent submission” spoken of in Hebrews of the ultimate firstborn son – Jesus Christ.
And it was Jesus that was taken up as the Sacrificial Lamb on Passover, the Unleavened Bread without sin and waved as a Firstfruits offering before the throne.
So it is now in 2008 that we look forward in hope and anticipation to this season…
Watching anxiously…

2008: 8th day & firstborn
Exodus 22:28-30
28 Thou shalt not revile God, nor curse a ruler of thy people.
29 Thou shalt not delay to offer of thy harvest, and of the outflow of thy presses. The first-born of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.
30 Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with its dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.
Blessings,
Tony

2008 Rapture Proclamation
First fruits are marked and then taken to the temple. I have kept this note in my head regarding the “forever stamps” that the United States issued last year. We are coming on the one year anniversary at April 12th which is a Saturday. The price of the stamp went from 39 cents to 41 cents which almost seems to line up with the year timeline regarding 1967 and Jerusalem (freedom before the 41st stripe).
Forever stamps
Certain vending machines dispense stamps with denomination printed according to the buyers' choice via keypads.
In 2006, the US Postal Service applied for permission to issue a stamp similar to non-denominated stamps in the UK, termed the "forever stamp", for first-class postage.[1]
On March 26, 2007, the US Postal service unveiled the first such stamp, which went on sale April 12, 2007, for 41 cents (US$0.41).[2] The first NVI stamp issued by the USPS was the so-called "Liberty Bell" stamp, which is marked "USA FIRST-CLASS FOREVER".
On the stamps is the Liberty Bell. This is not insignificant. Philadelphia is of course the Church in Revelation that is kept “from the hour of testing” and is made “a pillar in the temple of God”. The U.S. has been the great light and witness in these last times, but we are in the final stages of the full transition from Philadelphia to Laodicea.
The Liberty Bell, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is a bell of great historic significance. The Liberty Bell is one of the most prominent symbols associated with the American Revolutionary War. It is one of the most familiar symbols of independence within the United States, and has been described as an international icon of liberty and justice for all.[1]
According to tradition, its most famous ringing occurred on July 8, 1776, to summon citizens of Philadelphia for the reading of the Declaration of Independence
[edit] Inscription
The inscription on the Liberty Bell reads as follows:
“
Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants thereof Lev. XXV X
By Order of the ASSEMBLY of the Province of PENSYLVANIA for the State House in Philada
Pass and Stow
Philada
MDCCLIII
”
The source of the inscription is Leviticus 25:10, which reads "And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family." The inscription was intended to mark the 50th anniversary of William Penn's Charter of Privileges of 1701.
This inscription on the Liberty bell is significant as well. Many have written on the timing of 2007 – 2008 as a Sabbatical year (50). The wheat cent may be a marker as well. It ran for 49 years or 7 X 7. It’s last year was 1958 or 50 (Sabbatical) years ago.
Wheat cent

Famine Rider on his way...
'Silent' famine sweeps globe
Rice, fertilizer shortages, food costs, higher energy prices equal world crisis

WASHINGTON – From India to Africa to North Korea to Pakistan and even in New York City, higher grain prices, fertilizer shortages and rising energy costs are combining to spell hunger for millions in what is being characterized as a global "silent famine."
Global food prices, based on United Nations records, rose 35 percent in the last year, escalating a trend that began in 2002. Since then, prices have risen 65 percent.
Last year, according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization's world food index, dairy prices rose nearly 80 percent and grain 42 percent.
Not here yet, but well on its way…
Revelation 6
5And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
