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.

RAPTURETTE #0010 2006-11-03

The Mysterious Year of the Dog: 4704

Nov 8, 2006 is the 9th month, 18th day of the year 4704 -- the Year of the Dog, in the Chinese calendar (see link). It is mystifying that the total number of days between 12-23-1993 (Vincent Tan's angel encounter) and 11-8-2006 (rapture date) is 4704 days! The fact that Vincent is a Chinese deepens the mystery. Did the angel pick the encounter date by design or was it nothing but a chance meeting, a random event?

Two days ago I was pondering on the incredible witness coming from the Gregorian date of the rapture, 11-8-2006, and its Hebrew date, 2-17-5767. I already knew that Nov 8 is encoded in both the Gregorian & Hebrew dates in their abbreviated forms: 11-8-06 & 2-17-767 (see link1 & link2). Add all the date numbers: 811 (8 Nov) = 11+8+06+2+17+767. Add again all the date numbers by combining the month & day numbers: 1108 (Nov 8) = 118+06+217+767.

As I was searching for more witness and toying with numbers on the calculator, suddenly the number 4704 appeared on my calculator's display panel and I just sat there frozen in utter amazement! Below is the results of my search:

20:17 (Hebrew equivalent of 1108) = 1217 minutes
57:67 (Hebrew year of 2006)          = 3487 minutes  +
                                                        ==============
                                    4704 minutes !!!!!!!!!!!!

Nov 8, 2006 falls on the 474th month since June 7, 1967, when Jerusalem was recaptured by Israel during the Six-Day War. The uncanny resemblance between the two numbers 474 & 4704 is surely not by accident.
