"Escaping the SNARE"

Dear Doves,

The SNARE spoken of by Jesus in Luke 21:35 has a good chance of happening this year, in terms of ESCAPING it, given the escalating conflict in the Middle East, and wars and rumors of wars in other parts of the world.
Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

Luke 21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

I want to draw your attention to the two underlined words of Jesus in the above scriptures: snare and escape. Take a moment to let the words of Jesus sink in. Our Lord is warning us concerning THAT DAY and ALL THESE THINGS that shall come to pass. The context of Luke chapter 21 is the end times -- the time that we are living in right now.

I will prove in this post that the SNARE spoken of by Jesus refers to the Oct 7 attack by the Hamas savages!

If that is the case, our ESCAPE is around the corner!

"And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh." (Luke 21:28)


SNARE* and ESCAPE*

The KJV reveals the secrets hidden in these two key words: snare and escape, searched within a chapter.

Using the Pure KJV Search, https://webchannel.purebiblesearch.com/, the search results of "snare*" and "escape*" return 18 verses, with search scope confined within a chapter. The asterisk *, allows for zero or more characters to be appended after a search word; in this case, words such as "snares", "escaped", and "escapeth" are also included in the search.

The last two of these 18 verses are the friendly warning of Jesus to us watchers in Luke 21:
Luke 21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

The first two of these 18 verses give us much food for thought:
Exodus 10:5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:

Exodus 10:7 And Pharaoh’s servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?

The Oct 7 SNARE

The keen reader might have noticed the Oct 7 date in the scripture that contains the key word "snare" in Exodus 10:7! This is not a coincidence.

At this point in the Exodus account, Moses came before Pharaoh to beseech him to let the people go; but God hardened Pharaoh's heart until His full judgments were meted out to Pharaoh to the destruction of Egypt.

The key thing to note here about Exodus 10:7 is this: at this point in the Exodus account, 7 out of the 10 plagues had already befallen Egypt; the 7th plague was the hail. The Oct 7 date is again encoded here in plague number 7 of the 10 plagues !!!

The Oct 7 date is hidden twice in Exodus 10:7 !!

Amazing!

The Exodus account intimates that the SNARE (or trap) was set up by God! God hardened Pharaoh for the purpose of fulfilling His plans for Israel, and that all may know that He is the LORD.

Iran and the Axis of Resistance, may think that the Oct 7 attack is the trap that they conspired to set up, to draw Israel into the final battle; little did they know, it was God who allowed it to be the "hooks into their jaws" that pull in nations of the world that will band together for the Satanic-inspired goal of wiping Israel off the map; but the Bible tells us it is the nations that will be destroyed instead.

The Exodus account shows that it was Egypt, a type of the world, that was destroyed by the 10 plagues, a type of the apocalyptic judgements recorded in the Book of Revelation. The city of Jerusalem, in the words of Zechariah the prophet -- a burdensome stone, a cup of trembling -- will cause all people who vow for Israel's annihilation, to sleepwalk into WW3, only to be cut in pieces (Zech 12:2,3).

The final end-time moves of God must have begun already on Oct 7, 2023.

Amir Tsarfati thinks that WW3 has already begun (see https://harbingersdaily.com/amir-tsarfati-world-war-conflicts-taking-stock-of-our-global-situation/); as evidence, he listed several ongoing and escalating "world war conflicts": 1) Israel’s Conflict with Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon; 2) Iraqi Militias’ Conflict with Israel; 3) Iran’s Conflict with Syria, Iraq, and Pakistan; 4) Yemen’s Conflict with the US and the UK; 5) Russia’s Conflict with Ukraine; 6) China’s Threats Against Taiwan; 7) Turkey attacks the Kurds; and 8) North Korea Threats Against South Korea.

It is hard not to agree with Amir's assessment.



SNARE* and ESCAPE* in the Same Verse

Out of the 18 verses that contain either "snare*" or "escape*" within a single chapter, only two verses contain both the key words within a single verse.
Psalm 124:7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

Ecclesiastes​​ 7:26 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.
The first scripture, Psalm 124:7, is most intriguing; not only do both key words appear in this single verse, the two key words are repeated for emphasis -- it is the most focused verse in terms of "escaping the snare" among the 18 verses.

The most astounding thing about Psalm 124:7 is the hidden prophecy in this psalm, pointing to the year 2024 !!!

JR Church first discovered the Prophecies in the Psalms when he observed the parallels between Psalm 48 and the year 1948 when Israel was re-established as a nation; as well as Psalm 17 and the year 1917 when Jerusalem was liberated by General Edmund Allenby.

One major push factor for me to start the 5 Doves site was my discovery of the hidden prophecy in Psalm 91 -- pointing to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait by Saddam Hussein (see https://www.fivedoves.com/tng/intro.htm and https://www.fivedoves.com/tng/ps91.htm).

I believe I was the first person who has discovered the hidden prophecy in Psalm 91 which I shared in 1997, six years after the Gulf War ended in Feb 1991.

If, and that is a big IF, it happens that in 2024, we escape the snare that shall come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth at the Rapture according to Psalm 124:7, then, let us shout for joy and celebrate when we stand before the Son of man. Hallelujah!

Jesus gives us watchers a super HUGE clue in the CV (chapter-verse) numbers of Luke 21:35 ("snare") and Psalm 124:7 ("snare").


888 (JESUS in Greek) = 2135 ("snare") - 1247 ("snare")


JESUS (888) issues a friendly warning to us watchers in Luke 21:35 concerning the end-time SNARE; He then points us to the SNARE in Psalm 124:7 that potentially may find fulfillment in 2024.


Psalm 91 and Psalm 124

Let me perform a thought experiment on these two psalms assuming that Psalm 124 will be fulfilled somewhat similar to, yet different from, Psalm 91.

Both psalms contain the words "snare" and "fowler" (Psalm 91:3 and Psalm 124:7).

Both psalms involve provocation from the enemy with the aim of drawing Israel into the fight: 1) Iraq fired 39 scud missiles at Israel; and 2) Hamas fired about 10 thousand missiles, rockets, and drones at Israel, invaded southern Israel, massacred 1,200 innocent civilians, and kidnapped 240 Israelis (what a monstrous provocation!).

Both psalms involve military response: 1) US-led coalition liberated Kuwait and defeated Iraq in the Gulf War; Israel showed restraint and just watched on by the side; and 2) Israel invaded Gaza and the war is still ongoing; US supported Israel with weapons but not directly fighting.

The fulfillment of Psalm 91 appears to set a pattern for the future fulfillment of Psalm 124. Iraq invaded Kuwait Aug 2, 1990; but the Gulf War ended on 28 Feb 1991, at the end of Operation Desert Storm. From the start to the end, the conflict took about seven months. While the hidden prophecy in Psalm 91 pointed to the year 1991, the start of the conflict began the previous year in 1990 when Iraq invaded Kuwait.

If this pattern holds true for Psalm 124, will we see a widening of the current Middle East conflict in the region or beyond, within the seven-month period from Oct 7, 2023 to May 7, 2024?

A Nisan rapture is beginning to look promising in this time window.


SNARE* and ESCAPE* in the Same Verse (Part 2)

The second verse that contains both "snare*" and "escape*" in a single verse is Ecc 7:26. The CV number 726 is Strong's Greek number for "harpazo" (G726), the catching away of saints at the Rapture!
Ecclesiastes​​ 7:26 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.
In the above scripture, who is this woman whose snares the raptured saints are escaping from? She is the harlot of Babylon, the Christ-rejecting New World Order (of which the apostate Church is part of) just announced at Davos WEF 2024 (see link).

Ecclesiastes chapter 7 is a very special chapter; it is chapter 666 of the Bible !!!!!! Furthermore, the only Hebrew word with gematria 666 is found in this chapter verse 12 !!!!!!
H3504 yithron (יִתְרוֹן): advantage, profit; 10+400+200+6+50 = 666
The godless 666 world system is full steam ahead. It is a terrifying thing for individuals or even a nation state to go against such an evil world system without God on their side.

Israel is beginning to feel the terror of being isolated by the world with the UN united against it. Now it looks as though the US and EU are also against Israel and attempt to undermine its right to self-defense.

Psalm 124 is chapter 602 of the Bible; add that to 124, the sum is 726 -- Strong's Greek number for "harpazo" (G726)!

It appears that the Rapture is hidden in Psalm 124, a psalm that points to 2024.


The Antichrist Surprisingly Shows Up

I was not looking for Obama when I searched for the two key words, "snare*" and "escape*" in the KJV. But I suppose it should not surprise us if the Antichrist shows up in the search; he is closely linked with the Rapture and the 666 New World Order.

The "harpazo" verse, Ecc 7:26, is the sixth verse of the 18 verses that contain "snare*" or "escape*" within a single chapter; it occupies a position that amplifies the 666 theme -- 6th verse + 6 verses + 6 verses.

Following Ecc 7:26, the next four verses are interesting to say the least:
(7th verse) Jeremiah 48:8 And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD hath spoken.

(8th verse) Jeremiah 48:19 O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, and say, What is done?

(9th verse) Jeremiah 48:43 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the LORD.

(10th verse) Jeremiah 48:44 He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.

The above four verses are found in Jeremiah chapter 48. This is chapter 793 of the Bible; the number 793 is the standard English gematria of Barack Hussein Obama !!!!!!

Chapter 793 is at the two-third position, that is, 0.666 of the total number of Bible chapters.

This group of four Antichrist verses (chapter 793) follow straight after Ecc 7:26, whose chapter number is 666.

The two numbers, 666 (beast) and 793 (Antichrist), also agree with the CV total of the first three of the 18 verses ending on Psalm 124:7.

105 (Ex 10:5) + 107 (Ex 10:7) + 1247 (Ps 124:7) = 1459 = 666 + 793

It is interesting that Oct 7 is also encoded in the 7th verse and 10th verse in the four Antichrist (793) verses above.

Lastly, it is also interesting that the standard English gematria total of "blessed", "handsome", and "leaning" -- the meaning behind each name of Barack Hussein Obama -- is 246 + 268 + 152 = 666 !!!!!!



The NATSAL Rapture

The Hebrew word "natsal" (נָצַל ) is the Greek equivalent to "harpazo".
(Strong's Concordance) natsal (H5337): to strip, plunder, deliver oneself, be delivered, snatch away, deliver.
The word "natsal" appears as "deliver" in Psalm 91:3.
Psalm 91:3 Surely he shall deliver (natsal) thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
Interestingly, in Psalm 124:7, the word "natsal" appears in an equidistant letter sequence (ELS) Bible code.



The first Hebrew letter of the verse is nun (נָ); with a skip of 6, the next letter is ayin (צַ); the final skip of 6 lands on the letter lamed (ל). Thus, the natsal (נָצַל) Rapture is clearly encoded in the first 13 Hebrew letters of Psalm 124:7; the surface text spanning the ELS code, "Our soul as a bird has escaped", is referring to us doves escaping the snare of the Tribulation at the Rapture !!!


27 Years Ago

Doves, 27 years ago to the day on Jan 26 1997, the LORD visited me in a most unusual way and gave me the name John. In the wee hours of that morning, at around 4 am, I was shown the prophecies of the Psalms; in particular, Psalm 91.

After this experience, one thing led to another, the 5 Doves site made its first appearance on the Internet one month later on Feb 27, 1997. At the time, I was naive enough to think that all I needed to do was to maintain the site for a few months and I would be taken up in the Rapture to be with the LORD.

How wrong was I!

Those were the roller coaster days when I maintained the site daily. The current weekly posting frequency started around 2014. I guess fatigue set in after 17 years of daily postings.

Psalm 91 appears to be a companion psalm to Psalm 124. Both psalms contain the key words "snare" and "fowler". Both psalms are linked to the "natsal" rapture. Both psalms involve the provocation of the enemy leading to war. Psalm 91 foreshadows Psalm 124.

The start date of the 5 Doves web site, Feb 27, 1997, is six years after the end date of the Gulf War, Feb 28, 1991.

The total number of days (inclusive) between the end date of the Gulf War, Feb 28, 1991 and the day I received the Psalm 91 hidden prophecy, Jan 26, 1997, is 2160 days.

The leading digits of 2160 is 216 -- the Hebrew gematria of Palmoni, the Wonderful Numberer.

2160 is twice 1080 -- the Greek gematria of The Holy Spirit.

The most interesting thing about 2160 is that it is the CV (chapter-verse) total of Psalm 91:3 ("snare" & "fowler") and Psalm 124:7 ("snare" & "fowler")!!
2160 = 913 (Psalm 91:3) + 1247 (Psalm 124:7)
Personally, I am very grateful to God for this confirmation.


Civil War 2024

As of this writing, we are seeing early signs of a gathering storm of civil war in America. Barely two months after the Netflix release of the Obama-produced film, Leave the World Behind, its prediction of a civil war appears right on the money. Another movie, titled simply, Civil War, due to be released Apr 12, 2024, could well be one more predictive programming aimed at conditioning the masses concerning the coming civil war. Such movies tend to lead to self-fulfilling prophecies as they stoke the fire of insurrection in the patriots who have had enough.

The timing of both movies is uncanny and not far off given the near-impossible-to-avoid revolt started by the State of Texas; the Obiden regime is doing all it can to foment distrust among the American people, weaken its superpower capability by sabotaging its military, and endanger its citizens' safety by allowing millions of illegal immigrants into the country.

There will be a part 2 to this post with focus on the Year of the Dragon and a brewing civil war in US; surprisingly, both are deeply connected to the word SNARE.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Doves, this spring will be a very exciting high watch window. Something BIG is bound to happen before the US election in Nov. Biden may be tempted to wag the dog and trigger WW3 to cancel the election just so that Trump is denied the White House; he has stolen the election once so nothing is beneath him.

In a Plan B scenario, if Trump were to be forcefully removed (by whatever means necessary), a civil war might ensue; when that happens, WW3 will still break out as the enemies seize the opportune window to move in for the kill.

Another albatross around Biden's neck is Netanyahu. Both leaders are hardening their positions with regards to the two-state solution. Time is running out for Biden; he has to act one way or another to prevent Trump from winning the election and to avoid the backlash of supporting Israel's war in Gaza and pay a heavy political price.

Interesting times we are living in. Glorious times.

The snare may have already been set last Oct 7.

Let us watch and pray so that we may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Come, Lord Jesus!!
