Dear Doves,
This series was borne out of the conviction that the rapture might happen
on Nov 8, 2006. The date has since past with no rapture but not without significance
as noted by a number of doves & Marilyn Agee (see links 1,
2, 3,
4, 5).
There is a good possibility that the rapture may still happen this year 40
days after Nov 8, 2006, on the second day of Hanukkah, Dec 17, 2006 (link
5) or even before the year
is over. Let us hope for the best. To this end, I have started another series,
RAPTURETTE
2.0, to explore the many clues that point to 2006.

Dear Doves,
I was supposed to compose an article on the Superstring and the rapture in
Part 3 of the Rapture 2006 series. The article was a long time coming because
I was inundated with a flood of new information thanks to Ian Mallett. Ian
has a knack for sniffing out God's wonderful numbers in His creation and His
Word. In view of the lateness of the hour, I have decided to write little
chunks of rapture code in a brand new series called RAPTURETTE, a not so subtle
attempt at copying Ian's NUMBERBITE. :)
Before we begin, a caveat is in order. I am not stating beyond the shadow
of a doubt that the rapture will happen on the said date. If I am proven wrong
again this time, I will still return to the drawing board and relook at the
data because one day a perfect fit will present itself to those who seek.
If the rapture happens on the speculated date, it is hoped that many will
pay attention and not fall into the coming great deception.
For background information, read Part
1 & Part
2.

2006 Transit of Mercury
(Part 1)
"On Wednesday, 2006 Nov
08, Mercury will transit the Sun for the first time since
2003. The transit or passage of a planet across the face of the Sun is a relatively
rare occurrence. As seen from Earth, only transits of Mercury and Venus are
possible. There are approximately 13 transits of Mercury each century. In
comparison, transits of Venus occur in pairs with more than a century separating
each pair."
The above paragraph is taken from the NASA
web site on the transit of Mercury in 2006. Is it possible that God actually
conceals the rapture date in this relatively rare sign of the heavens? Why
NOT! For one thing, no one is able to manufacture the astronomical transit
data below, except perhaps God Himself!

The first SHOCKING revelation is this: the Hebrew date of the rapture, Heshvan
17 (2-17),
5767, is encoded in the hour
& minute totals of the above table!
Hour total = 59
= 19 + 19 + 21 + 00 + 00
Minute total = 84 = 12 +
13 + 41 + 08 + 10
Concatenate the hour & minute totals:
5984
= 217 + 5767
!!!!!!!
Even the 'second' total points to the Hebrew date of the rapture in a 'lesser'
manner if you will. Instead of adding the time values as in the case of the
hour & minute totals, this time add the digit value of the 'second' figures.
35 = 4+5+7+4+1+6+8
35 = 2+1+7 (217) + 5+7+6+7
(5767) !!!!!!!!
The whole phenomenon comes with an error-checking code since the very date
of its occurrence is built into the transit times TWICE!
Greatest transit is the instant when Mercury passes closest to the Sun's
center (i.e. minimum separation). This will occur at 21:41 Universal Time;
the number formed by this time figure, 2141,
is intriguing to say the least.
2141 = (17
x 118) + (17
+ 118)
^^^^^^^^^^^
year 2006
= 17 x 118
Ian Mallett wrote me the following yesterday after I shared with him the
above:
This is quite a remarkable coincidence! Astronomer royal Edmond Halley,
who made the first complete observation of a transit of Mercury,
was born on November 8th,
the same day as this year's transit! This occurred in 1677 (on the eve of
his birthday) and the number of transits of Mercury from then to 2006 inclusive
is 46, the Hebrew gematria of ELIJAH! The 2006
transit is only the 2nd transit which falls on November 8th since 1677,
the last one being in 1881.
I did a little search on the Internet and found that Edmond Halley was born
on Nov 8, 1656!
The year immediately jumped out at me as the solid link between the astronomer
royal and Nov 8, 2006 (Heshvan 17,
5767) -- the aniversary of Noah's Flood.
Noah
1) The rain that caused Noah's Flood started on Heshvan
17, 1656.
2) Noah lived another 350 years
after the Flood and died in year 2006
since Adam, possibly on Heshvan 17.
Modern-day Noah (Edmond Halley)
1) Halley was born on Nov 8,
1656. He made the first complete
observation of a transit of Mercury.
2) 350 years to the day after
the birth of Halley, Mercury will transit the Sun on Nov
8 (Heshvan 17),
2006.
The symmetry in the table below is something to behold.

Modern-day Noah |
Former Rain came 2-17-1656
(The Flood that

Noah was born 11-8-1656 |
Noah died 2-17-2006 |
Latter Rain comes 11-8-2006
(The end of the world shall come
like a Flood.)

Listen to the prophetic words of the modern-day Noah, in his famous admonition
of 1716 (link):
EDMOND HALLEY'S FAMOUS ADMONITION of 1716
PHILOSOPHICAL TRANSACTIONS VOL. XXIX (1716) A new Method of determining
the Parallax of the Sun, or his Distance from the Earth; by Dr. Halley, Sec.
R. S. N0 348, p.454. Translated from the Latin.
<excerpt>
While I was making my observations in the island of St. Helena, about 40 years
since, on the stars round the south pole, I happened to observe, with the
utmost care, Mercury passing
over the sun's disk: and contrary to expectation, I very accurately obtained,
with a good 24-foot telescope, the very moment in which Mercury,
entering the sun's limb, seemed to touch it internally, as also that of his
going off; forming an angle of internal contact. Hence I discovered the precise
quantity of time the whole body of Mercury
had then appeared within the sun's disk, and that without an error of one
single second of time; for, the thread of solar light, intercepted between
the obscure limb of the planet, and the bright limb of the sun, though exceedingly
slender, affected my sight, and in
the twinkling of an eye, both the indenture made on the sun's
limb by Mercury entering into
it, vanished, and that
made by his going off, appeared. On observing this I immediately concluded,
that the sun's parallax might be duly determined by such observations, if
Mercury, being nearer the earth,
had a greater parallax, when seen from the sun; for, this difference of parallaxes
is so very inconsiderable, as to be always less than the sun's parallax, which
is sought; consequently, though Mercury
is to be frequently seen within the sun's disk; he will scarcely be fit for
the present purpose.

This rapturette is so good there will be a Part 2 to it.
