| Ancient Letter Hey (5) |
This Hebrew year, 5785, is the year of 5 (Hey). 5+7+8+5=25 > Five 5's.
Hey (5) >> is the Hebrew letter that symbolizes "Behold/Reveal" The is a year that much will be revealed -- much to behold.
The Hebrew year began just before the election of Donald Trump. This revealed what the American people believed about the truth. His inauguration speech, less than 3 weeks ago, was something to behold. Much is being revealed about corruption.
We know that prophecy and the Bible focus on Israel and point to Messiah. Current events couldn't be more so. Much is being revealed about Israel and Gaza!
Gaza Prophecy
The Hebrew prophet Jeremiah delivered a prophecy concerning Gaza.
Jeremiah 47:1-2 -- This is the message from the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh conquered Gaza. 2 This is what the Lord says:
...the city and those that live in it. People will cry out, and all those living in the land will wail.
Jeremiah 47:3-5 At the sound of the galloping hooves of his horses, at the rumbling of his chariots, the clatter of his wheels, fathers won’t turn back for their children because their hands are weak, for the day is coming to destroy all the Philistines, the remnant of the coastlands of Caphtor. Baldness is coming to Gaza, Ashkelon is silenced. Remnant of their valley, how long will you gash yourself?
The Hebrew Prophet Amos delivered prophecy concerning Gaza too.
Amos 1:6-8 -- This is what the Lord says: “For three sins of Gaza, even for four, I will not relent.
Because she took captive whole communities and sold them to Edom, I will send fire on the walls of Gaza that will consume her fortresses. I will destroy the king[a] of Ashdod and the one who holds the scepter in Ashkelon. I will turn my hand against Ekron, till the last of the Philistines are dead,” says the Sovereign Lord.
Gaza (Heb. עַזָּה,, Azzah) is where Samson, who was captive, pulls the walls down on himself.
Amos and Jeremiah's prophecy may apply to the Philistines and Gaza being overrun by the Egyptians in 609 BC, under Necho II. In 604/603 BC, following a Philistine revolt, Nebuchadnezzar II, the king of Babylon, took over and destroyed Askhelon, Gaza, Aphek, and Ekron. This is proven by archaeological evidence and contemporary sources. So is history repeating itself like the Passover story?
Isreal Sent A Message to the Palestinians
The Palestinian prisoners released in the third and fourth rounds of the hostage deal’s first phase received bracelets from the Israel Prison Service (IPS) with an inscription (in Arabic so they could read it. It was from Psalm 18:37 -- "I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed."
Stand and Watch
Prophecy is being fulfilled in 5785, the year of 5. Behold what is revealed. There was Revelation at the parting of the Sea in Exodus. Adonia told us to "stand firm and watch."
Exodus 14:13 -- Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again.
Revelation can be be frighting, so the Lord reasures us.
Exodus 14:14 -- The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
Is Something Greater to Be Revealed?
Is God revealing things in order to warn us? Are current events foreshadowing that the serpent's head will soon be crushed?
Hamas has become completely wicked!!
Daniel 8:23 -- “In the latter part of their reign, when rebels have become completely wicked, a fierce-looking king, a master of intrigue, will arise. 24 He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy those who are mighty, the holy people. 25 He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.
Cool coincidence...
This weeks Torah portion is called, "Beshalach," means "When he sent" and it is found in Exodus 13:17. It covers Exodus 13:17–17:16
This weeks Torah Portion includes the verses that the image for Hey is derived.
Exodus 17: 11 -- As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. 12 When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset. 13 So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword.
Playing the Numbers
There are 6,423 letters in the portion: 6+4+2+3=15. 15 >> 3 fives. There are 3 fives (15) in the middle of the year.
Year : 5 (78) 5 > 5 (15) 5
I realized this is all very contrived! I enjoy finding the coincidences. Gematria, be it with letters, words, dates, names, etc. Is a source of clues.
For me it is like finding puzzle peaces. Sometimes the pieces fit and the picture emerges. Sometimes, I know I'm forcing a fit. Sometimes there is no fit at all. Sometimes I don't find the pieces I hoped for. There are also times it all comes together. Either way. I am always rewarded for seeking!
The Book of Matthew was written for the Jew -- a Jew like Jonah:
Matthew 7:7-8 -- Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
