Numbers That Are Getting My Attention :: By Daymond Duck
Last week, my article was titled, “Words That Are Getting My Attention.” This week, I thought that I would write about numbers that are getting my attention.
I have never had a desire to study the significance of Bible numbers, but I have long believed that everything in the Bible is significant.
I have always been leery of going too far in the study of numbers, but I have recently seen some amazing things that other prophecy teachers (Bob Mitchell, Dan Goodwin, etc.) have pointed out.
One must take isolated events or dates or numbers or prophecies and be able to construct a general consensus as long as it isn't going against God's word.
I don’t agree with everything they say, but I will try to take some of the amazing things these prophecy teachers say that seems right to me and pass it on in my own words.
Notice these six (the number of man) historical facts:
1897—A Zionist conference was held to find a homeland for the Jews.
1917—War: England capture Palestine (Israel, Jerusalem and more).
1947—A UN conference was held to find a homeland for the Jews.
1967—War: Israel captured West Bank (including East Jerusalem).
1997—An Arab conference was held to take the homeland of the Jews.
2017—War: threats from Iran, Hezbollah, ISIS, some Arabs, etc.
History doesn't lie but it can be manipulated as the history in our lower grade schools and colleges...
Notice that these six historical facts run 20 + 30 + 20 + 30 + 20:
1897 + 20 = 1917
1917 + 30 = 1947
1947 + 20 = 1967
1967 + 30 = 1997
1997 + 20 = 2017
Notice that the conferences run in 50-year cycles:
1897—1st conference; find a homeland for the Jews.
1947—2nd conference; establish a homeland for the Jews (1897 + 50 = 1947).
1997—3rd conference; take the homeland from the Jews (1947 + 50 = 1997).
Notice that these 50-year cycles were held by three different groups.
1897—The 1st conference was a Jewish conference.
1947—The 2nd conference was a Gentile (UN) conference (1897 + 50 = 1947).
1997—The 3rd conference was an Arab conference (1947 + 50 = 1997).
Remembering my last post on the 50 year Jubilees from an Israeli Sage of many hundreds of years ago.
Notice that three of these 50-year cycles are about war.
1897—War: England captured Palestine (Israel, Jerusalem and more).
1967—War: Israel captured West Bank (East Jerusalem and more).
2017—War: Remains to be seen, but very possible.
Notice that three of these 50-year cycles involve Jerusalem (the end of the age cup of trembling and burdensome stone for the whole world; Joel 3:2).
1917—War: Gentiles took Jerusalem.
1967—War: Jews took Jerusalem.
2017—War: Remains to be seen, but Arabs and or Muslims (the Iranians are not Arabs) may try to take Jerusalem.
But let’s go a little deeper and I honestly don’t know what to make of this.
We are looking at six events between 1897 and 2017, a period of 120 years. In the days of Noah (a sign of the Second Coming) God said, “My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years” (Gen. 6:3).
