"The Three Days of Noah"


 
Hello John and Doves,
 
There are three days of Noah, at the start of the destruction of the world by water:  the day they entered the ark, the day the rains started, and the day the rains stopped.

"And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all they house into the ark....For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights."  Genesis 7:1-4
 
"They went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.  And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth."  Genesis 7:9-10
 
"And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him:  and the Lord shut him in."  Genesis 7:16
 
Using the chabad.org calendar:
 
So seven days before the rains began the Lord shut Noah and his family and the animals in the ark.  That would have been on 10 Cheshvan.  Because on 17 Cheshvan the flood began.
 
This year, 17 Cheshvan is November 3/November 4 - sunset to sunset.  So 10 Cheshvan is October 27/October 28 - sunset to sunset. (November 3 is election day in the U.S.) 
 
Forty days starting with 17 Cheshvan takes us to 27 Kislev - in the week of Chanukah. "The forty days and nights of rainfall which covered the face of the earth with water in Noah's time ended on Kislev 27 of the year 1656 from creation (2105 BCE)  https://www.chabad.org/calendar/view/day.asp?tdate=12/13/2020
Sunday, December 13, 2020 / Kislev 27, 5781 - Jewish Calendar - Hebrew Calendar
 
Forty days starting with November 4 is December 13.
 
Will something happen on the anniversary of 10 Cheshvan, or 17 Cheshvan this year?  Will something happen on the anniversary of the 40 days of rain, December 13?
 
"For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark.  And they were oblivious, until the flood came and swept them all away."  Matthew 24:38-39
 
We know the numbers 7 and 40 are important to the Lord.  Strong's Hebrew for seven means 'to perish'.  The number 40 symbolizes a time of testing, trial, suffering.
 
And with everything going on in 2020....we don't dare ask 'what else could possibly go wrong?'
 
Just thinking out loud...
 
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
 
Maranatha!
