2007
God’s biblical precision from a numerical standpoint has always been fascinating to me. The answer is in the Word before it happens.
Courtesy of Daniel Matson:
From June 7, 1967 to Pentecost (May 27) 2007 is 14,600 days, ending precisely on Pentecost. The probability of this is astronomical! This is exactly 40 years of 365 days. 365 is the number of years Enoch was in age when he was raptured. 40 is God’s number of testing (Israel in the desert).
Jesus said “this generation shall not pass until all of these things come to pass” referring to ours. Here’s the biblical definition of a generation:
Jesus was tempted 40 days, "And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness. And he was there in wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan," (Mark 1:12 & 13)
Israel was 40 years in the wilderness. "Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of the temptation, in wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, saw my works forty years." (Hebrews 3:8 & 9) Israel was 40 days when Moses was in the mountain, "and Moses in the mount forty days and forty nights." (Exodus 8)
Jim Bramlett (21 June 2007) "From 2001: "I'll be back in six years""
Dear friends: This morning I was reminded of an unusual prophetic event and that it took place seven years ago. Since seven is a special biblical number, it seemed good to review it for relevance. The situation was described by friend Rev. Ron Patterson, about his then-teenage son, Ronnie, Jr., who has a severe learning disability. Below are Ron’s own words: "Ronnie was walking his dog Sandy and singing praise to the Lord on a warm September 2000 day after school. Suddenly, he was in the spirit in the presence of the Lord. Ronnie saw a huge field of beautiful flowers in heaven, each one perfect and without flaw. Then he saw a big wall with a large gate made of solid white pearl columns. On each side, outside the gate, was huge warrior-like angel about twice the size of a normal man. Ronnie said it took very powerful beings to open the enormous gate. "Next, Ronnie saw past the gate into the beautiful city on the other side. Every building was made of some material that was as clear as pure water. In the middle of the city, he saw two giant chairs or thrones in an indescribable throne room. Ronnie could not see clearly the figures on the seats as they were engulfed in a cloud-like spirit similar to a force field or a glowing mist of energy. "Ronnie was absolutely certain by the power and the presence that these were the thrones of Almighty God, the Father, and Jesus Christ, the Son, surrounded by an unmistakable manifestation of the Holy Spirit. Ronnie was also amazed at a smooth, peaceful, beautiful music that seemed to be all over heaven but was most noticeable in the fields of flowers. "After seeing all of this, Ronnie for the first time during this experience, heard a voice speaking directly to him saying, 'Son, look over here.' Ronnie then saw a long series of horse stables as far as he could see to the right and to the left made up of individual horse stalls. Each stall contained a magnificent white horse with angels standing with the horses as caretakers (one angel per about 20 horses). The Lord told Ronnie that after He removes His people from the earth, Jesus will remain with them in heaven a short time and then lead them back to the earth riding these white horses. He said Jesus will put an end to all who oppose Him and will establish His kingdom in the earth. "As the vision concluded, the voice of God continued to speak to Ronnie. The Lord told Ronnie not to listen to the devil any longer. He said that the devil had been condemning Ronnie with lies trying to make him believe that Ronnie was worthless, helpless, without value, and on his way to hell. God told Ronnie that Ronnie is His child, 'a child of God,' and that He was well pleased with him. "Next the Lord told Ronnie to stop grieving over being 18 years old and not being able to drive a car as Ronnie had driven himself almost crazy with disappointment over this. The Lord said to Ronnie, 'I am coming so soon for you and my people that there is not enough time for you to drive enough to justify learning.” Postscript, June 20, 2007: After 1, 2 and 3 years passed, people began to doubt that Ronnie had truly heard from the Lord. However, God knew that He was doing. Only God knew that Ronnie’s situation would soon deteriorate to the point where he would not be able to drive a car. It has now been seven years. We are now in 2000 + 7 = 2007. Ron says that he knows that he knows that he knows that Ronnie, Jr. had a genuine experience with the Lord in the year 2000. That is because of the radical change and reality that he saw in his son. He said it was truly miraculous. Just yesterday I received another story from Ron. Because of Ronnie Jr.’s condition, a social worker lady made a routine call on Monday. Conversation revealed that she is a serious Christian and also a missionary. Ron said she seemed very mature in the faith. When she found out about Ronnie Jr.'s experience and that Ron's major ministry is to boldly proclaim the Lord's soon return, she broke down in tears. She was extremely touched and said she knew it, that Jesus is coming soon!The lady then told about an elderly missionary friend who was dying a few years ago. Her loved ones were gathered around her, grieving, for her during her final few moments. But just before she died, the old lady mustered up the energy to speak up and admonish them, saying, "Don't grieve for me. I'll be back in six years."That was in 2001! My calculator tells me that 2001+ 6 = 2007. Ron and I agreed that when they are dying some folks see and hear from the other side. It's like they have one foot here and one foot in heaven. And an M.D. friend commented and said: "As an internist, I collected stories of near-death experiences. Not only do the dying frequently see heaven and communicate it back to earth, but frequently those physically around them and emotionally close to them are permitted a glimpse also. This story is absolutely credible." She could have heard something. All this makes me think of Shelby Corbitt’s visions and revelations beginning in 1986 that the rapture would be in 2007.

Daniel's Seventy Weeks
by Lyn Mize
Daniel’s prophecy of the seventy weeks in Daniel 9:24-27 concerns three time periods dealing with the nation of Israel. The first two time periods begin with a proclamation to return to and restore Jerusalem, and they end with the coming of Messiah the Prince to the faithful ones looking for his coming. The first time Messiah the Prince came was to the shepherds abiding or working in the fields at night. They were wide-awake tending the flock of sheep. The second group was the wise men looking for the coming of Messiah the Prince.
The first decree or proclamation that went out to return to and restore Jerusalem was in 444 B.C. and this decree was issued by the Persian king Artaxerxes who gave the Jews permission in Nisan 1, 444 B.C. to rebuild Jerusalem. A week is a specific seven-year period ending with a Sabbath year. Since 444BC was a Sabbath year ending with Rosh Hashanah 444BC, the sixty-two weeks ended on Rosh Hashanah 10BC. The prophecy is clear that the coming of Messiah the Prince would be after the sixty-two weeks. Jesus Christ did come to earth in 4 BC, according to Usher’s Chronology. This was actually 6 years into the sixty-third week, but it was after the sixty-two weeks just as the prophecy states. Thus, the first period ended with the coming of Messiah the Prince after the sixty-two weeks, and Messiah was cut-off or killed, just as the prophecy states. The second time period began with the Jerusalem Proclamation on January 23, 1950, but the start of the first of the seven weeks began Rosh Hashanah 1951. The seven weeks ended on Rosh Hashanah 2000. In order for the prophecy to be accurately and completely fulfilled, Messiah the Prince must return in the Firstfruits Rapture of the faithful and wise before Rosh Hashanah 2007. Just as Messiah the Prince came the first time after sixty-two weeks plus six years, it seems highly probably that He will return in the Firstfruits Rapture after the seven weeks plus six years. This would place the Firstfruits Rapture in 2007. The following chart depicts the three time periods in Daniel’s Seventy Weeks in accordance with the prophecy in Daniel 9:24-26:
Time Period in Weeks

Dates of Week(s)

One Week
Confirm the Covenant before Tishri 1, 2007.
Tishri 1, 2007-Tishri 1, 2014
Second Coming in Power & Glory
It must be remembered that a week in Scripture is an exact seven-year period of time that begins at the New Year on Tishri the 1st and ends on the same date at the end of a Sabbath year. The last of the seven weeks ended on Rosh Hashanah 2000. Only sixty-two weeks elapsed after the Decree of Artaxerxes until the birth of Jesus Christ, and it seems certain that only seven weeks will elapse after the Jerusalem Proclamation until the Firstfruits Rapture of the Faithful & Wise.
HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT:
Notice in Genesis 7:7, the day that Noah enters the ark, the reference is to Jesus’ descriptions of His return:
7:7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
Mt 24:38
Mathew 24:37-39, “But as the days of Noah
were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. So as in the
days that were before the flood, they were eating and drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered
into the ark. And knew not until the flood came, and took them
all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.”
Per Shelby Corbitt:
The world, the sinners, the unbelievers, were taken by surprise
in Noah’s day, but Noah wasn’t. Noah and his family knew exactly
what God was doing and exactly when He was doing it. God told
them. God revealed His plans to Noah and prepared a safe place for
them while life was being destroyed on earth.
Jesus will come to save us in the same way people were saved and
warned in the days of Noah. God told Noah it will rain in 7 days.
Genesis 7:4, “For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain
upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and everything
substance that I have made will I destroy from off
the face of the earth.”
God told Noah exactly what He was going to do and when He
was going to do it. It wasn’t a surprise shot or a vague answer of
one day soon. It was on a perfect timetable.
God is allowing us to discover hidden things now that have been here all along.
Daniel 12:4, “…shut up the words, and seal the book
until the time of end.”
Mathew 13:35, “…I will open my mouth in parables; I
will utter things which have been kept secret from the
foundation of the world.”
REVELATION 3:3
Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
The reason for focusing on the Letter to the Church at Sardis is that the messenger is told to “wake up” twice—not a command to one spiritually dead—confirming the letter was and is, prophetically, to a believer. The consequence of any church believer remaining “dead” is that he will not know the hour that Jesus is coming for him at the rapture (Rev. 3:3).
Two points are critical here: one, Jesus suggested clearly and unequivocally by implication that He intended His church to know the “hour” of the rapture; and two, the word “hour,” in context means a definite, fixed time period.
The chilling suggestion Jesus made in Rev. 3:3 was that a believer’s state of spiritual unresponsiveness (Jesus’ referred to the state as being “dead”) would result in ignorance about the timing of the rapture.
EMP
If an EMP hit a large part of the United States it would not cause just a temporary power outage. It could take months or even years to get power back to most of the United States. Electronic equipment and power generating equipment in power plants themselves would be damaged and there will be no way of easily replacing this equipment. Even if the equipment were not damaged the grid could not easily be brought back up. It takes a source of power to bring up modern power plants to put them back on line. Just bringing up the whole U.S. grid from scratch would take weeks or months. Even if the blackout were only for weeks, the disruption to the United States would be immense.
In a matter of hours there would be large-scale looting in the major cities and in days there would be riots in all large cities over food and water. Marshal Law would be declared and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would nationalize all police forces and take control over managing the people of the United States. All available military would be following the directives of DHS as well.
A major EMP over a large part of the United States would cause all major transportation systems to break down. Most means of communication would not be possible. There would be no TV, little radio, no useable cell phone systems, no Internet system and no food or water distribution other than through the direction of Homeland Security. All essentials would be rationed. Those carrying out the DHS directives would confiscate all known critical supplies.
The civil disorder and disruptions that have taken place in New Orleans and southern Mississippi in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina are a small example of what would take place nationwide after an EMP. In that case massive aid from the rest of the nation eased the crisis but after an EMP the whole nation will be coping with the crisis and little aid will be possible.
All able bodied manpower in the United States would have to report for assignments directed by Homeland Security. All financial assets would be frozen. There would be no access to any money, the stock market would be closed and the U.S dollar would become near worthless on the world market. For weeks, months, and perhaps years there could be little gross national product in the United States. The U.S is the largest debtor nation in the world so she would be forced to default on her debt bringing about a massive world depression.
Even after the power was brought back up, it would be likely that much of the electronically controlled infrastructure systems would have to be totally replaced. This could take many years. Meanwhile, financial assets in every category either would become worthless or lose tremendous value. All financial bubbles will burst.
It would be prudent to keep an emergency supply of non-perishable food and drinking water on hand – never in the history of the world have we had a confluence of circumstances such as are facing us now.
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/aug2007/taylor86.htm FROM the Five Doves Website, August 2007:
I wasn't going to post this dream until I saw the above post. I'm a prolific dreamer, many dreams per night, vivid and enjoyable. Like most dreams, they have some elusive areas and things that don't make sense but the dream I had the night of July 27/28th was different from any dream I've had before. It still slightly haunts me. Two things made this dream stand out, first it was the realism and the accuracy of it. The details of the dream were as if it were actually happening. Then the dream merged with real life. The Dream: I was in my home, in bed and the details of my home were accurate, as was everything else. Usually, in a dream, many things differ, homes are different, strange people come and go but this was like being awake. My husband and I were sleeping, we were sleeping in the dream, I had on the same nightshirt, the bedroom was exact. I woke, within the dream, with the bed shaking and I thought it was an earthquake. We live in California and while this doesn't happen often, it does happen. When I woke within the dream, I realized it wasn't a shaking but more of a vibration with a very loud electronic sound. It woke my husband too. Our bed was buzzing, be we didn't receive any kind of shock. My husband went to turn on the light but it didn't work. The second I knew the lights weren't working I KNEW what happened. It was an EMP, from an enemy, I knew it. My husband then tried the phone, no dial tone. We wanted to see if we could start the cars so we headed downstairs to the garage. Our kitchen, in the dream, was just as it is in real life, the little digital clocks that usually light up on the appliances were out. The house was completely dark. When we went to the garage, our neighbors came over being awakened by the same thing. Our neighbors are a wonderful Born Again couple, it was our real life neighbors. The man and my husband were tinkering with the cars, to see if they would start, and the woman and I were standing in the driveway, as we often do to chat, looking up at the sky. The night sky was filled with fighters and bombers. This is the only area that became "dream like" as the aircraft were all Star Wars type aircraft. We were amazed but not alarmed. I knew we would be okay even though we were under attack. I don't know who the enemy was, just "The Enemy." As we looked up at the sky, I heard a loud BOOM. I said "Oh my gosh! A bomb went off in front of our house." Here is where the dream merges with reality. The BOOM, which was real, woke us both and my husband flew out of bed. I was trying to awaken from this dream where the bomb just went off and I said to my husband, "is it a bomb?" he said no, someone hit a tree in front of our house and also knocked over a telephone pole. I was so involved in this dream I was thinking it can't be that, it's a bomb. I did wake up and it was, indeed, what my husband saw. He called 911 and when I got on a robe my neighbors from next door where already outside. This "bomb/telephone pole" incident woke me at 1:39. I don't know if this number has any significance. I'm still stuck with this dream. I think about it several times per day. I told my neighbor, the Christian lady, who was in the dream and the actual incident with the car out front and she thinks perhaps it's a premonition. This dream happened in the here and now. Any comments or observations would be welcome. Loni
Rev 2:10
Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast [some] of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Luke 21:28
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES - 2007
John 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast (Tabernacles), Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
Nehemiah 8:18 Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according unto the manner.
We should also look at these to make certain that we are checking everything that relates to the phrase "last day." Both of these references are related to the Feast of Tabernacles. The fact is, both speak of the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles.
What does the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles have to do with the rapture or Judgment Day? We shall see that it is intimately involved with these subjects.
Let us look at the nature of the Feast of Tabernacles. It was a feast commemorating two events. First, it looked back upon the sojourning of Israel in the wilderness, and second, it was the time of the completion of harvest.
In Leviticus 23:42-43 we read:
Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths: That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
These verses teach that it was a feast that looked back on the wilderness sojourn of Israel, and how they entered the promised land, the land of rest. So, too, believers today are living in the wilderness of this world.
When Christ comes, our rest in Him will be complete. We are strangers and pilgrims now, but when we receive our resurrected bodies we will be forever with Christ (II Thessalonians 4:17). Therefore, we can see how this feast identifies with Christ’s return: It is then that we receive our resurrected bodies. It is then that our salvation is complete; it is then that our wilderness sojourn is ended.
The second reason for the Feast of Tabernacles was the celebration of the end of the harvest. In Exodus 23:16 we read of, "The feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field." This is a surprising verse because it speaks of the Feast of Ingathering, which is the same as the Feast of Tabernacles, as the end of the year.
The Feast of Tabernacles was celebrated during the seventh month (Leviticus 23:34). The seventh month is many months from the end of the year and yet God speaks of it as the "end" or "going out" of the year (Exodus 23:16).
When we see how intimately this feast is related to the end of time, we can see why God speaks of it as the end of the year.
Jesus speaks in Matthew 13 of His return at the harvest time (Matthew 13:30 and 39).
Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Matthew 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
Since the Feast of Tabernacles celebrated the harvest and related it to the end of the year, and since Christ speaks of the end of the world as a harvest time, we can see that a beautiful relationship exists between the Feast of Tabernacles and the end of the world.
It is no wonder, then, that the phrase "last day" is found in connection with the resurrection of believers and the Feast of Tabernacles.
Thus we can see why in Nehemiah 8:18 and John 7:37 God used the phrase "last day" in connection with the Feast of Tabernacles. Before we leave the Feast of Tabernacles, one other important fact should be noted, which links the Feast of Tabernacles to the last day or the end of time. In the Old Testament, all the men of Israel were required to appear before the Lord three times during the year, as is recorded in Exodus 23:14-17:
Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year. Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty: And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field. Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.
The first feast was the Feast of Unleavened Bread that began with and was identified with the Passover. This feast began in the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month (Leviticus 23:5) and continued for seven days after the fifteenth day (Leviticus 23:6, Deuteronomy 16:1-3). It was the day that anticipated the shedding of Christ’s blood as the Passover Lamb to take away the sins of the world.
The second feast was the Feast of Harvest or the "Firstfruits" or "Feast of Weeks." This feast was observed seven full weeks from the morrow after the Sabbath, that is, the Sabbath that occurred during the Passover week (Leviticus 23:15-16 and Deuteronomy 16:9). Because this feast was fifty days after the Passover, it was also called Pentecost (penta is groups of five). It was a day that anticipated the spiritual harvest and would begin as a result of Christ going to the cross.
The third feast at which the males had to appear before the Lord was the Feast of Tabernacles, which was preceded by the Day of Atonement (the tenth day of the seventh month). The Feast of Tabernacles continued for eight days from the fifteenth day of the seventh month (Leviticus 23:27, 34, 39). It was a feast day, as we shall see, that anticipated the completion of the spiritual harvest that would result from the salvation God provided through the Lord Jesus Christ.
The awe-inspiring fact that now faces us is that while these feast days anticipated and pointed to the historical accomplishments of the atonement, on the very same days that the nation of Israel was celebrating these feasts, God brought to pass the spiritual reality to which these days pointed. On the Passover in 33 A.D., while the Jews were keeping the Passover, Jesus hung on the cross as the Passover Lamb. On the Jewish Feast of Pentecost, the Old Testament Feast of Weeks, the Holy Spirit was poured out and the harvest of souls began. It was at that time that the firstfruits of the harvest were seen: 3000 from eighteen nations were saved (Acts 2:41).
So we see that two of the three most important feasts, those specifically emphasized as times when Jewish men journeyed to Jerusalem, were the literal times when God’s program of redemption was carried out. The Jewish Passover was celebrated the very day that Christ, the Passover Lamb, was slain. The Jewish Feast of the Firstfruits, Pentecost, was observed the very day that God poured out His Holy Spirit, and the first fruits of the spiritual harvest were seen.
The one remaining feast day is the Feast of Tabernacles, or the Feast of Ingathering. Surely the Bible is suggesting that Christ will return in literal fulfillment of this feast, even as there was literal identification with the other two important feasts!
It is no wonder, then, that God uses the phrase "last day" in connection with the Feast of Tabernacles. The Feast of Tabernacles is identified with Christ’s return, just as the resurrection of our bodies and Judgment Day are identified with Christ’s return.
Revelation is progressive so God expects us to keep studying & looking. With all of the evidence that 2007 is the year, the Feast of Tabernacles may prove indeed to be the week. As long as we stay in the Word we’re safe (signs are secondary), and Feast of Tabernacles does appear to be pointed to in the Word.
Tabernacles is celebrated beginning on the 27th of September. I’m reminded of the dream that a lady friend of ours had where she saw a BIG 27 in the dream; and instantly it started flowing with electricity and power. The dream was in August and nothing happened on August 27 but September 27th begins Tabernacles…
“The secrets to wisdom; they are double to that which is.” The Feast Days, Paul stated, were “shadows” of things to come.
MARANATHA!
