1/21/18 The Eclipse & Rev 12 - Rapture Connection?

3rd times a charm, right?

Like pretty much all of us surfing these forums, I've continued looking and learning.  After watching Steve Sewell's YouTube videos about the possibility of a Pentecost rapture, I decided to take some time to do my own research. Here's what I learned, which I've combined with information learned in this post and my other post, to come up with a rather convincing possibility that seems to support a possible Pentecost rapture.  I'll format this later, but I'm excited to share this information, so I'm going to just copy and paste from a Word document that I'm sending to another person, but first let me share these links about Pentecost.

Part I - "The Fig Tree Generation"
I use to believe that…
“the fig tree generation started on May 14th. 1948, when Israel was declared to be a nation again, which kicked off the generation that shall not pass away, until Jesus returns at his second coming after the 7-year tribulation. A generation is 70 years or up to 80 "if by reason of strength." If the tribulation kicks off at 70, then Israel is sure going to earn “by strength of reason” those extra 7 years past 70. Anyways, this coming May 14th will get Israel to their 70th birthday. At the very max, one would expect the second coming to be within 10 years after this coming 70th anniversary, which would land at the maximum 80-year mark or the year 2028.”

Psalm 90:10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

Matthew 24:32-34 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

However, I just learned that Israel’s Declaration of Independence was “declared” on May 14th 1948. However, that declaration didn’t go into effect until the termination of the British Mandate at midnight that day. Therefore, even though the Jews nationally celebrate their Independence Day on the Civil Calendar day of Iyar 5th, technically the “birth of Israel” or the nation of Israel didn’t begin until the next day, which would have been 5/15/1948, which was Pentecost! (per torahcalendar.com)  Take note that May 15th 1948 was month 3 day 6 of the spiritual calendar.

torahcalendar.com/Calendar.asp?YM=Y1948M3

Therefore, counting forward using the “Spiritual Calendar” and this method of thought regarding when the nation actually started, could position the rapture on exactly the 70th anniversary of the Fig Tree’s rebirth, which would then fall in line with the other stuff Steve Sewell has mentioned, such as Pentecost being the anniversary day of Enoch’s birth/rapture, God sounding the 1st trump (his own voice) on Mount Sinai, and of course the anniversary of the Holy Spirit coming upon the disciples (actually specifically 120 were mentioned to be in the upper room) on Pentecost, which many “Revelation's 12 Sign” enthusiasts now consider to represent the conception of the church, while the rapture represents the birth of the church.

Something else I noticed while watching Steve's videos was the two common methods of calculating gestation (266 days from fertilization or 280 from menstrual period) averages out to 273 days.

Since Strong's lists words in alphabetical order of occurrence, such connections reveal God's awesome all encompassing "counsel of his own will" (Ephesians 1:10) being revealed through his Word. We’ve already seen how the day counts from events such as, but not limited to the last blood moon to the 9/23/17 "Rev. 12 Sign" gave revealing Strong Concordance numbers associated with the rapture, such as 726. Likewise, I find it incredibly awesome that the also connected and highly biblical solar eclipse on 8/21/17 is exactly 273 days before Pentecost 2018.

•Strong’s Greek # 273 – (amemptos) blameless, free from fault or defect
•Strong’s Hebrew # 273 – (Achzay) “Yah has grasped”

Additionally, the following website finds some rather amazing gematria connections to this value. Here’s a link, but I’ll summarize my thoughts below.

www.biblewheel.com/GR/GR_273.php

The following connections come to mind for me:

•“The Key” reminds me that Jesus is the Door and likewise John saw a door before being basically raptured to heaven, in the book of Revelations.
•“Grave/Tomb” makes me think of the dead in Christ who will rise first at the sound of the last trump.
•“Immortality” makes me think of the immortal bodies of light that we receive at the rapture.  Blameless bodies without sin that were just given to us after being grasped by God and harpazo'd up to the clouds. 
•“The Righteous Will Enter” makes me think of the body of Christ’s destination of entering heaven at the rapture, because they are made righteous by the blood of the lamb.
•“From the Tree of Life” makes me think that after having received glorified bodies, for the first time since Adam, a now made perfect subset of mankind, will be freely able to once again eat from the tree of life.
•“The son of my womb” makes me at first think about Jesus, but then think about birth, which reminds me of the birth of the church, which I believe to be the rapture. Also, let’s not forget Eve and how she was formed out of Adam’s rib and likewise, the church or the Body of Christ, which was hid in God, since the foundation of the world, and is being formed out of the body of Christ.
•“The Lord is light for me” reminds me that “God is light and in him is no darkness at all”, which therefore leads me to think about when we will be “clothed upon with our house” (2 Corinthians 5:2), which I believe is the glorified bodies we’ll received that Jesus has formed out of himself, a being of light, and therefore our new bodies we receive at the rapture will be made of light.
•“The Stone which the builders rejected” makes me think about how salvation, which was given to the Gentiles, not only had a purpose to fulfill God’s promise to Abraham, but also would be used to provoke the Jews to jealousy and thereby cause the lifting of their blindness, which I think coincides with the rapture. (Note: explanation below in Part II)

Part II - "17/153" & the 3rd day
Here’s some research I’ve found and compiled that caused me to believe about the blindness of Israel being lifted at the rapture (Romans 11:25 basically), which I think was also connected to Jesus 1st miracle, which happened on the 3rd day. Take a look at what day of the week is Pentecost this year… 😊 It’s on the third day of the week and on the 3rd spiritual month of the year. 

This is a great read involving the #'s 17, 153 and the 3rd day.

www.theopenscroll.com/number17and153.htm

Here's a few other 3rd day quick notes.  Ester approached the king on the 3rd day.  Hezekiah was healed on the 3rd day.  Water was separated from land on the 3rd day.  The wedding of Cana was on the 3rd day.  However, not all 3rd day references are rainbows and unicorns.    In Exodus 19:15, God warns the people to "...Be ready against the third day..." Might the 3rd day bring both restoration (rapture) and destruction (invasion of Jerusalem).  Exodus 19 seems to heavily foreshadow the rapture, so I think the warning against the 3rd day may be for Israel on that future day when the rapture does occur, on that "3rd day."

Exodus 19
9 And the Lord said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the Lord.
10 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:
13 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
14 And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
15 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.
16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.
17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.
20 And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.

A few fun # facts:

• 17 is the 7th prime number
• 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15+16+17=153
• 3 * 3 * 17 = 153
• “With a few exceptions like 370, 371 and 407 the third part of all numbers transforms to 153.” (concept explained in the above link for details on this odd algorithm, which the Wikipedia for the number 153 also shows)

• A Tetrahedron of 17 rows equals the triangle number of 969, which was the age of Methuselah when he died. In 3D this looks like a pyramid/triangle.
• An equilateral triangle of 17 rows equals the triangle number 153. In 2D this looks like a triangle.

• Jesus 1st miracle transformed water into wine, where six water pots contained 2-3 ferkins each; avg 2.5 * 6 =15 ferkins; convert to gallons 15 * 10.2 = 153 gallons. If the pots were filled to the brim and you convert to the British equivalent of a gallon, one also gets 153.
• Jesus last miracle in John 21:10-11 involved 153 fish being caught in the net that was not broken, which had 7 disciples in the boat.

(Note: Jesus mentioned his time had not yet come before the water to wine miracle, and the great catch of 153 fish was after he cried out, "It is finished" on the cross. Therefore, this may indicate that these miracles hint at the mystery to come; specifically, the formation of the Body of Christ. The fish had to be caught & brought up into the boat and the wine was transformed, which mirrors with harpazo & we shall be changed.) Also, in John 2:1, we find out that the changing of water to wine happened on "the 3rd day."

Check out this quick video for a visual of the triangle referenced bullet points.



I also am fascinated with the statement, “A hypercube cut along 17 faces unfolds into a three-dimensional cross. There are exactly 17 two-dimensional space (plane symmetry) groups.” I think this video shows that concept rather well.



Another fun number fact is that 7 * 153 equals 1071; when assigning each letter its numeric value and getting the sum for each word, we see 1071 equaling the same value as Joint-Heirs, White Robes, Sinless, and phrases such as “the righteous shall inherit the land,” and “but Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.”

www.biblewheel.com/GR/GR_1071.php

I am particularly fond of Joint-Heirs found in…

Romans 8:17 – “And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.”

And also White Robes …

Revelations 6:11 – “And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled."

One might ask, why are these words so rapture related? Well, as seen above in Romans 8:17 the joint-heirs with Christ will be glorified together with him. That sure sounds like the rapture to me. Also, the white robes seem to be intertwined with receiving eternal glorified bodies, after our earthly tabernacles are dissolved and that ties into the rapture because we’ll receive those bodies during the rapture.

2 Corinthians 5:1-2
5 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:

While on the topic of 153, here’s a bonus verse that has 1, 5:3 built right into it and seems linked to the kick off of tribulation.

1 Thessalonians 5:3 - For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

I realize I must move on to something less boring quickly, but let me just touch on one last concept, which I eluded to earlier, which was the statement saying there is “a hidden scriptural link to the “fulness of the gentiles” and the “partial blindness” being removed from Israel.” We’ve looked at how the # 3 & 17 connect with 153, but did you know that John 21:11 and Romans 11:25 are connected by the number 17? Here’s their connection. Romans 11:25’s 17th word is G4457 (porosis / blindness) and John 21:11’s 17th word is G5118 (tosoutos/ so). These two verses contain the 1st occurrence of each of these words in the Bible and have a single word value of 2190. I think that’s quite interesting in light of the context of those verses.

John 21:11 – Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.

Romans 11:25 – For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

I randomly tried searching for single word(s) summing to 2190 and found ἐχθροὶ (echthroi), which has 6 occurrences and means hated, hostile, enemy. The second to last occurrence is Roman's 11:28, which I find interesting because as seen above in Romans 11:25, this verse is also showing how Israel was put aside, for the sake of the mystery, the forming of the Body of Christ from both Jew and Gentile, which as seen above is UNTIL the fullness of the Gentiles be come in, which may indicate that the rapture will be when God lifts their blindness.

Romans 11:28 - As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.

Also interesting is the last occurence of ἐχθροὶ (echthroi) in Revelation 11:12, which is the verse describing the resurrection and ascension of the two witnesses, which makes me think of the resurrection of the dead and the catching away of the Body of Christ, at the rapture.

Revelation 11:12 - And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

I think it’s also worth noting that there are 10 Bible verses with phrases that sum to a text value of 2190. Chronologically, the first verse with this sum gives a tie in to the “as in the days of Noah.”

Matthew 24:37 – But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

… and that 1st 2190 valued verse is Genesis 7:18.

Genesis 7:18 – And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.

The last verse with a total value of 2190 is Ezekiel 34:28.

Ezekiel 34:28 – And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid.

The dwelling in safety makes me think of the secret chambers mentioned in Isaiah 26:20.

Isaiah 26:20-21 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

Another interesting verse summing to 2190 (out of the only 10 verses with this sum in the Bible) is Psalms 36:8.

Psalms 36:8 – They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

I think it’s more than safe to assume that the Body of Christ will likewise be abundantly satisfied in their dwellings with the Lord after being raptured and getting to drink from the river of life.

Here’s a quick link showing all of the 2190 valued words and verses that I mentioned above.

www.biblewheel.com/GR/GR_Database.php?SearchBy_Gematria=2190

Here's another awesome find, which may hint towards a future Pentecost being the timing of the rapture.  The 2190th verse in the Bible describes God calling Moses to come up to Him on mount Sinai, when God gave Moses the law. 

Exodus 24:12 - And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.

Mount Sinai was a dispensational shift into the law period of time, which is traditionally taught to have been on Pentecost.  Pentecost also ushered in the dispensation of the church age, and if it's the timing of the rapture, then Pentecost will also kick off the dispensation of Jacob's Troubles, and if that time frame is exactly 7 years long, then the date of Pentecost would also transition the world into the dispensation of the Millennial Kingdom, which if it's exactly 1,000 years long would then likewise transition into Eternity.

Part III - "153 to Midpoint between Rev.12:2 & Rapture?"
Now let's connect the last blood moon of the "perfect symmetry" tetrad with the "Great American Eclipse", the "Revelations 12 Sign" and a Pentecost rapture. If we count 153 days after the 8/21/17 eclipse, one ends up on 1/21/18 (the day the “Humanity Star” was launched), which is exactly 120 days or four months (also 4 Gregorian months if jumping forward 4 times to the 21st of each month) before May 21st 2018, which is Pentecost and is a harvest festival.

John 4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

Doing the same sort of thing in reverse from 1/21/18 to 120 days in the past lands on 9/23/17; the fulfillment of Revelations 12:2. Therefore, 1/21/18 may be the mid-point between the Revelations 12 Sign to the Rapture. The eclipse made this possible with its highly prophetic 33-day gap.

• The eclipse started at the 33rd state
• The eclipse ended at the 33rd parallel
• The eclipse went through 7 “salems”
• The eclipse came 7 years before an opposite eclipse that will mark an X over a town called “little Egypt”

In recap, the eclipse to Rev.12 sign’s 33 day gap + the 120 day Rev.12 Sign to mid-point from Sign to Rapture, gave the 153 sum needed to then add the 120 from mid-point to Rapture, for a 273 total, which connected from Eclipse to Rapture (hopefully) and I think prophetically connected with Strong’s Greek/Hebrew meanings. Likewise, "Rev. 12 Sign" back to the last blood moon of the "perfect symmetry" tetrad, gave a count of 726, which gave the Strong’s value for Harpazo or rapture.

I’ve talked a lot about the # 153, but let’s look at 120, which is a great number connecting back to Mount Sinai, the days of Noah, # of people in the upper room and other rapture foreshadowing verses.

2 Chronicles 5:12-13
Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:)

It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;

There's more really good #120 rapture connections, but I'm lacking on time to look them up right now... plus I could probably dedicate a whole section to Mount Sinai.

Part IV "More Strong's References"
One reason that I was initially drawn to the Rev.12 Sign information was because the heaven's are not something that Satan can distort.  This thought got me away from watching Obama or other potential anti-Christs and had me pondering the "great wonder" in the heavens.  Therefore, I'm going to try and show how the Rev. 12 Sign and a few other big heavenly signs may all be together pointing to Pentecost per torahcalendar's calendar.  Please keep in mind that God may be just pointing to Pentecost in general for maybe even a calendar that is not expected, but nevertheless check out this information involving the "Blood Moon Tetrad," "Rev. 12 Sign," "Great American Eclipse" and a possible 70th anniversary Pentecost rapture on 5/21/18.

• The 4th blood moon of "perfect symmetry" (9/28/15) +726 days takes one to the "Rev. 12 Sign" (9/23/17).  G726 - harpazó: to seize, catch up, snatch away
• 50 days forward (thinking Penta in the back of my mind) from the "Rev. 12 Sign" the date comes to 11/12/17, which from a naked eyes view could have been considered the beginning of the conjunction where the man-child (Jupiter) symbolically joined with the Morning-star/Jesus (Venus).  As posted earlier in this thread, many considered this conjunction to be the conclusion of the rapture story being illustrated to us in the heavens.  A story I am hoping will come to pass in the near future.  Anyways, from that day forward 190 days one comes to torahcalendar's day for Pentecost this year (also spiritual month 3 day 6), which is 5/21/18.  H190 - "to follow" is often used to mean joining / cleaving and
  has many references to Jesus, such as the disciples were initially
  called to followed him.  Will the Body of Christ be called up to God to
  forever then join with him and follow him after the rapture.  On the flip side H190 looked rather bland initially.  It just means "Woe."  Well, not so fast maybe.  G190 - "Woe" is found in only Psalm 120:5 and mentions
  caution regarding Mesech and a quick cross-reference with Ezekiel 38:2 shows that Mesech is connected with
  the prince of Gog / Magog, which many believe will be a war that starts
  at the onset of the tribulation.  Could that war start on 5/21/18, after
  that world is hurled into chaos?  Maybe or maybe it's just coincidence... In summary, G726 and G190 are possibly the left and right bookends between to the full "Rev. 12 Sign's" story and the rapture.
  
• I mentioned this above, but recall that the Great American Eclipse was connected to the Rev. 12 Sign and that a highly symbolic 153# of days forward then gets one to the midpoint between the Rev.12 Sign and 5/21/18, which is being divided by 120 on both sides.  There were 120 in the upper room on Pentecost and 120 was involved with the flood.  Anyways, taking the full gap of days from the Great American Eclipse to a 5/21/18 Pentecost gives us 273 days.  G273 - amemptos means blameless, free from fault or defect, while H273 - Achzay: means "Yah has grasped." (occurs only 1 time)  This is potentially a second connection to 5/21/18.  In my opinion the "Yah has grasped" describes God seizing or snatching us into the clouds and the 273 number has connections to gestation duration and therefore the many various woman in labor bible versus.
  
• Circling back to the original starting day of the last blood moon and counting forward to a 5/21/18 Pentecost date, gives a total count of 966 days forward.  Much to my delight G966 - Béthsaida means "house of fish," (occurs 7 times) and is thought to have been the name of two cities on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. If you read the above information on the 153 fish, then considering that the fulness of the Gentiles is connected with the catching away of the Body of Christ, which is represented by the fish, into our new bodies that are connected with our houses that we'll be clothed upon, should get one excited!  I haven't checked yet, but I suspect that the 153 fish story took place on the waters of Galilee.  Just checked and John 21:1 confirms that Jesus was "by the Sea of Tiberias" which means Galilee.  Is this then a second possible connection of 5/21/18 to the #153?
• H966 is Bezek that means "lightning." (occurs 3 times)  This word didn't initially seem like much either, but I kept dwelling on it and started thinking about how the rapture is going to happen in the blink of an eye; like a flash of lightning.  Then I realized that we're going to be raptured into clouds and lightning comes from clouds.  Didn't my science teacher say that lightning starts in the clouds, strikes a target, and then returns to the clouds, but it's just so fast that we see it as one thing?  God, who is light, may quickly descend and then ascend after he Achzay's us and then harpazo's us into the air?   Let's not forget that God is going to give out a shout like a trumpet.  Doesn't lightning give out a trumpet sounding blast of thunder and wasn't that how God's voice is described when he called out to Israel to give them the law on Mount Sinai, which is traditionally taught to have been on Pentecost and may technically be the only other Biblical reference to God's voice being a trumpet, which would then position the "Last Trump" as his voice too?  Maybe Luke 17:24 confirms these thoughts, "For 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."  Notice how Luke 7:22 says, "And 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."  Note: "one of the days of the Son of man" is plural. Could the various "day(s) of the Son of man" reference then maybe not only the Second Coming, but also reference the Rapture?  Basically, the yet future days of visitation on the "moedim (appointed times)?
  
• Alternatively but still continuing with H966, while we're going up, Satan maybe simultaneously on his way down.  Luke 10:18 reads, "And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven" and Rev. 12:7-8 says, "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
  And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven." Basically, this 966 day count from the last blood moon to 5/21/18 could also have a tie into the symbolism of Satan being cast to the earth at the time of the rapture.  I've added a link to Jeff's "The Coming U.F.O. Disclosure" article the at bottom of this post.
  
• At this point I'm having a lot of fun looking up these date ranges in excel and finding their Strong's values, but I was hesitant to share the information because I just had not found enough 17/153 connections.  Well, if I get crazy in my thinking, maybe a third confirmation can be found.  Did anyone read my speculation of a "Second Sign of Jonah" being possibly given as we could be raptured into "dark clouds for three days, which God has used before to conceal his glory on Mount Sinai"?  I had scratched that idea out of my mind.  Sure it would be awesome if the Body of Christ would emulate the head, Jesus, who was in the grave for three days.  After all, why not just call us straight up to heaven like John's vision in Revelations.  Well, my theory is that not doing so would give the Jews a second Sign of Jonah and would be the cherry on top to successfully provoke them to jealous, as at least some of them recognize their folly and understand that Jesus is the Messiah.  What day would that put us on from our ever so common blood moon count.  Well, the day would be three days after the rapture.  That's 969 days after the last blood moon.  As noted previously, "a Tetrahedron of 17 rows equals the triangle number of 969, which was the age of Methuselah when he died. In 3D this looks like a triangle. An equilateral triangle of 17 rows equals the triangle number 153. In 2D this looks like a triangle."  Cool, maybe this is a potential connection to the #17, which is connected with the 153 fish and the wedding turning water to wine and also consider that Methuselah's death triggered the flood.  The ark, which was lifted up above the earth (as we'll be lifted up into the clouds) during the earth's time of judgement, may also be considered a foreshadowing of the rapture.  G969 - (occurs only 1 time Rev. 21:20) "berullos" / beryl; is the 8th mentioned stone. I keep hearing that the number 8 represents completion.  Might this time represent the completion of the Body of Christ or the completion of the Age of Grace? The Gematria value for the word berullos is 840, which is interestingly a value shared by G536 "firstfruits." The first occurrence of G536 is in Rom 8:23, "And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body."
  
  Here's some other details on firstfruits.  απαρχη aparche {ap-ar-khay'} from a compound of 575 and 756; TDNT - 1:484,81; n f AV - firstfruits 8; 8 1) to offer firstlings or firstfruits 2) to take away the firstfruits of the productions of the earth which was offered to God.

  H969 - (only has one occurrence which is in Jer. 6:27) "thee for a tower" Doesn't seem like much on the surface, but yet again we see a word with only once occurrence in the entire Bible.  Look at the verse or even more at the chapter! I probably should let you look it up yourselves, but you have to read this, so here it is:

Jeremiah Chapter 6

I'm no prophecy guru, so please forgive me if I'm completely wrong and have erroneously positioned some of these prophecies at the rapture, instead of the Second Coming or some other more appropriate time frame.  Regardless, here's a few quick comments towards the above chapter, which could possibly place (at least one fulfillment of) the timing of the Jeremiah Chapter 6 prophecy, at the rapture of the Body of Christ:

Might the evil people from the north parallel with the Gog/Magog connections and foreshadow another invasion of Jerusalem that God will allow to happen? The part about pitching "their tents against her round about" and "they shall feed every one in his place", makes me think about the current situation of those trying to cross the Israel boarder.  Also, the part about their sacrifices not being accepted makes me think about the "one step away from the temple mount" sacrifice that was done just recently by Israel.  The Jews still do not understand that Jesus was the all sufficient sacrifice.  Anyways, the "as a woman in travail" links to labor pains, which are linked to the end times.  Additionally, the warning to "Go not forth into the field" implies for one to hold their position, which is the opposite of the warning found in Luke 21:21 - "Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto."  Finally, the adjective "wicked" in the verse saying that "the wicked are not plucked away" might suggest that the righteous are getting plucked away, so maybe this is a possible connection that the timing of this event is when those made righteous by the blood of the lamb are plucked away during the rapture?  Finally, the really interesting verse for me is Jer. 6:15, which says, "...at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD." Here's comes my 3 days Sign of Jonah theory again.  What if Jesus comes for us in dark clouds that come to rest on mount Sinai and raptures the Body of Christ into the air, where God and the Body of Christ stay for three days, so as to emulate Christ, the head of the body, who stayed in the tomb for three days and likewise Jonah, who was in the fish three days?  Basically, during this time as Jerusalem is being attacked, God could be fulfilling his prophecy of "at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down."  The verses say their not hearkening the trumpet.  Could this have been the "last trump" of God's voice given at the rapture and yet even still most will harden their hearts and not believe?

IMO, Jeremiah Chapter 6 looks extremely similar to Joel 2:2.  Its a big chapter, so I'm not going to paste it all in here, but the take away is that God turns a remnant of people's hearts back to Him and He delivers them.

Therefore, I would guess that Israel gets invaded during the rapture, suffers major casualties, and then just in the nick of time, God saves those left by whipping out the enemies and giving Israel the victory, which might be a way for Him (God) to confirm His covenant with Israel; the Abrahamic Covenant.  This sort of thought is based on Daniel Matson's articles suggesting that God may be the one who confirms the covenant.  Here's a link to Daniel's article.

www.watchfortheday.org/whoishe.html

Here's basically the conclusion.

1. Who is he ? He is God/Jesus.
2. What is confirmed ? Isaiah 59:21 covenant which had be deferred
3. What is “the covenant” ? Isaiah 59:21 covenant, Israel saved
4. Who are the “many” ? Daniel’s people, Jacob/Israel
5. Why was covenant deferred ? It is a mystery/Gentiles saved
6. When will covenant be confirmed ? At the “fullness of Gentiles”.

Maybe the below verses are references to God turning the tides of the battle?  My thoughts were that the darkness references could be linked to God causing a darkness based on him covering the city in "dark clouds," such as those I've suggested at the rapture.  Might the sacrifice referenced below be a connection to the wedding feast that has been prepared for his bride, the Body of Christ, which would hint towards the timing of this prophecy also being at or around the timing of the rapture?  If God has allowed the apple of his eye to be invaded, might He eventually descend upon the city and cover it in darkness, causing the enemies of Israel to be confused into attacking each other (see in other scriptures that I don't currently have time to dig up) and then whip the floor against these attackers?  It's interesting that the attackers say in their heart, The Lord will not do good, neither will he do evil.  Why would they think such thoughts?  If the world sees a cloud of darkness over mount Sinai and possibly even knows that God has raptured "his people" then without a dispensational understanding that God is not yet finished with Israel and seeing the Jews are still on earth and not with God in the clouds, then Israel would then maybe appear on the surface to have been cast away, unprotected, not in God's favor...

Zephaniah Chapter 1

4 I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with the priests

7 Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord God: for the day of the Lord is at hand: for the Lord hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.

8 And it shall come to pass in the day of the Lord's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.

10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills.

12 And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The Lord will not do good, neither will he do evil.

15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
16 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.

17 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.
18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

• I'm almost done.  Here's another count from the 4th blood moon.  I considered that if the rapture was on 5/21/18, and if war was likely to break out, then what would a count one day farther reveal, which would take one to G967 - Bethphage means "house of unripe figs."  If you haven't read Jeff's post on the fig tree, it's a great one.  Anyways, Google says this city was located on the Mount of Olives, which is where Jesus wept as he foresaw Jerusalem's destruction.  I hope you read Jeremiah chapter six, which I pasted above.  Also, the Sermon on the Mount was taught from the Mount of Olives and in my opinion is dispensationally meant for the tribulation saints, during the time of Jacob's Troubles.
  H967 - bâzar, baw-zar'; a primitive root; to disperse:—scatter.

Luke 19:41-44

41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

Maybe this is all coincidence or maybe coincidence is not a word in Hebrew and God's just that awesome. Hehehe... who am I kidding, of course He is that awesome!  Daniel Matson also has a bunch of charts posted on "Signs of the End" on Facebook that use phi to lead up to 5/20/18, which could be the last day of the Age of Grace.  Alternatively, check out Steve Sewell's Blessed Hope 2018 YouTube videos specifically about 5/21/18, or Darren's upcoming 5/27/18, but yet still Pentecost related YouTube video on clearlywrittendotnet, which makes a strong case that 5/27/18 is perhaps the right count to Pentacost this year. Basically, no matter how one slices it, God seems to be shouting for us to look at Pentecost this year.

Feedback or even just constructive criticism is always appreciated.  Oh by the way, a picture really does help bring this to life, so if I have some time this weekend, I'll try and put something together.  P.S. - Here's links to some articles that I wanted to add for reference.

Extra Stuff EDIT#1 - I am lacking time to try to integrate this information into the main body of this post, but I want to put it all in once place, so I'll just paste in some of my other comments below.

I didn't know there were possible connections between Pentecost to Ruth & Boaz. Here's an article that looks at some of the harvest traditions, which played a part in Ruth gleaming Boaz's fields. IMO, this story foreshadows that Jesus would likewise redeem all of mankind. Ruth was a Gentile.

blog.israelbiblicalstudies.com/holy-land-studies/read-ruth-pentecost/

I find Pentecost's connection with the timing of the wheat harvest interesting because of the following verse. Take note that wheat is specifically mentioned; not barely or the harvesting of fruit. I'm not sure if this would apply more to the rapture or the second coming, but nevertheless, if Pentecost is the rapture, likewise after a 7 year time frame, Pentecost could also be the second coming, which could also let the wheat symbolism still apply. Props to Steve Sewell for pointing out May's connection to the wheat harvest in the below verse, in one of his YouTube Blessed Hope 2018 videos.

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.

Consider also Chuck Missler's below posted web page, which indicates some of his reasons for considering Pentecost a high watch date. This page also goes over various Ruth connections.

www.khouse.org/articles/2003/469/

Now for the fun part. Consider the following verse.

Ruth 3:8 - And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.

The timing of this verse may have been precisely at midnight on the Shavuot (Pentecost). The timing that Boaz choose to be Ruth's kinsman redeemer could symbolically foreshadow when Jesus likewise redeems his mostly gentile bride. As stated earlier on the top of the post on page six of this thread, Israel's Declaration of Independence didn't officially kick off into effect until midnight of May 14th 1948. Midnight being the transition between the 20th / 21st is therefore highly interesting in light of the other stuff I've wrote about for May 21st.

Here's some other midnight references in the Bible.

Job 34:20 - In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.

The mighty shall be taken away without a hand. Fascinating! Are the mighty the Body of Christ being caught up by God, while those on earth are dying by a great earthquake?

Acts 16:25-34
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

Interestingly, these verses mirror up with the rapture quite nicely. There is an earthquake (thinking about Revelation Seal #6), doors being opened (John saw a door being opened before him in Revelation), crying of a loud voice (God's Trumpet voice?), light (thinking about the references I've talked about with lightning and also the Body of Christ being changed into beings of light), trembling (those left behind will be scattered and tremble and have great fear), and during that time God will have taken us, presented us as pure, brought us into his house, and prepared the wedding feast for us to eat with him.

Matthew 25:6 - And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

The rapture is Jesus coming for his bride. Just as Adam's bride Eve was formed out of Adam (the 1st man), so also the Body of Christ is being formed out of Jesus (the second Adam per I Corinthians 15:45).

Check out some verses from Psalms 18. Might they describe the rapture?

2The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
5The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
6In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
7Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
8There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
9He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
10And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
11He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
12At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
13The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
14Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
15Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
17He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
19He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

So here's a big question.  Was Pentecost fulfilled with the outpouring of God's spirit on Pentecost in Act's Chapter 2?  As someone who believes in studying the Bible from a dispensational perspective, I've always been fascinated by by Jesus's quote of Isaiah in Luke 4:18.

Luke 4:18 - The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

He stops shorts of reading the whole reference, at the point where Isaiah says, "and the day of vengeance of our God;".  Why?  Well, in hind sight we know that the conclusion of that prophecy in Isaiah was reserved for a yet further point in time.  Jesus was well aware of the mystery kept secret since the world began.  His partial quote was because of the future to be revealed pause in the prophetic continuation of Israel's program; until the forming of the Body of Christ had been completed.

Isaiah 61:1-2
1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

As I've recently learned from Stephanie Dawn's website, likewise, Peter followed this same pattern on Pentecost.

Act 2:16-17
16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

Here's the full prophesied picture given in Joel.

Joel 2:28-31
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.

In both instances we see a partial reference back to the prophets words and what's left out has been the day of vengeance / the great and terrible day of the Lord.  Based on Peter's left out details on Pentecost, I think one can reasonably conclude that Pentecost has only been partially fulfilled, which seems interesting in light of the rapture being the next prophetic dispensational shift from the age of grace into the time of Jacob's Troubles.  By Peter's words alone we have verification that the outpouring of the spirit at Pentecost is linked back to Joel. Therefore, we know that when the rest of the Pentecost is fulfilled, the sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord and as mentioned previously with Psalm's 18 being a picture of the rapture, there seems to be a link with sort of description connecting with the rapture.

What does all of this indicate?  Well, the rapture appears to be linked to the fulfillment of the rest of Joel 2:30-31, which is linked to Pentecost, through the partial quote given by Peter and testified by Peter to connect back with Joel.
