After seeing Jim Bramlett’s email about
Friday, August 3, 2012 being a possible sign of the
“Rapture”, I thought I would investigate the links he
provided:
If you want to do some studying and
exercise your brain, below are three of John's posts that
explain his view:
1. http://www.fivedoves.com/rapture/2012/raptureyear.html
2. http://www.fivedoves.com/rapture/2012/raptureyear_2.html
3. http://www.fivedoves.com/rapture/2012/rapturedate.html
Below are two posts
from a lady named Renee M. who shares that view:

I will quote from John Tng, who
wrote on the first three posts….
On my birthday in
2010, a number came to me. I asked God for a specific
birthday gift, but I did not receive it; instead, God
gave me the number 823 that day. Until last week, I
could not figure out the meaning of this number. It all
makes sense now after leaving it on the back burner for
one whole year.
If you read John’s post, he gave his
“best” understanding of what he thought believed the number
to be, which perhaps points to August 3, 2012. Since
God also speaks to me in “numbers”, I thought I would give
my input. When God gives me a “number” it has
always pointed to a verse that is consistent with what I am
meditating on. When God gives me a “date”, it
has also been rarely eventful in the way I would expect, BUT
the “date” when converted to a number would point to a verse
that is meaningful to me.
After reading John’s letter, I wondered
why he didn’t look up 823
in the Strong’s. So I did…. BINGO.
Greek Strong’s # 823 = moment (Greek:
Atomos) found only ONCE in scripture:
|
1Cor
15:52
|
In a moment,G823
in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for
the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be
raised incorruptible, and we shall be
changed. Gematria = 7943
|
The weight of the verse points to:
NT Verse # 7943
|
Rev
22:7
|
Behold, I
come quickly: blessed [is] he that keepeth the
sayings of the prophecy of this book. Gematria
= 10740
|
The weight of that verse points to:
Webster’s Vol 2 Word # 10740 = REASCEND'ING, ppr. Ascending
again.
Basically, with one number “823”, I can trace a
path through the scripture that speaks of being reunited
with Christ. The question is whether or not
August 3, 2012 is significant in the same way?
Well… what about August 23 being that it is
the 235th day of the year?
What if we traced the number 235 through the Bible or 234? Again,
we start to see the structure of the Bible when we do
so. The interconnectedness is amazing as though it was
created by an intelligent Designer of incomprehensible
intelligence. Perhaps we should take notice of
what He created for us to find in Scripture?

Thanks, Wade. I am aware of G823. :)
