Is this us too?

By that l mean first humiliation then glorification...

I will forgive my enemies, having compassion, forgiving those who are but stubble and dust a second time."
"I will choose a circumcised people (i.e., Jews), even many peoples for myself (i.e., Gentiles)."

The God-Man will be brought forth (into this sin-cursed world) who will instruct unruly men {like Cain}. This man of God will be smitten to death, but his death will be in the will of God. People will give up hope as grief overwhelms them.

But, the God-Man is appointed to save, this man of sorrow. The Glory of God shall come down from heaven teaching men that by means of His death He shall comfort those who mourn.

Yes..It is his way...How could there be any other for he has to teach us what we are and we are not before we can become what he's appointed us to be.

I just noticed in another string where you updated my post. Thank you and you knew l wouldn't mind which is pleasing. In fact l groaned that l'd posted to soon before you were done but said Oh well.

You know how you talk about the "son of dust" getting a second chance... It's speaking about the Jews and how God will reveal himself to them a second time... But l'm just wondering about those from the Gentile line that have rejected..They will get the second chance too right?...Hagar's line...(I've had this thing about Hagar lately)..I was thinking about Zilpah and Bilhah...

and Hagar.. It's depressing me because talk about being blinded and actually through no fault of their own either (generally speaking) because the angel declares it to Hagar in the desert...the future of her son and his line.

Now l know salvation comes from the Jews to the world a second time and many will be saved. I guess l'm just looking for reassurance for Hagar's line. I feel sorry for the blinded and ask God for one more chance for them...even though we've already asked and asked...It takes tremendous focus to ask again (with true heart) in the midst of oppressive darkness for mercy one more time...and then dare to believe it could happen..
But if l'm reading right this interpretation seems to read that way...


http://www.bible-codes.org/Names-bible-code-printable.htm

This is just a small snippet from the Code...I added the paragraphs with the word God-Man because it speaks about what you said about Jesus being both fully man and fully God.

But some of the meanings of these first 10 names in the genealogy of Christ remain in doubt. And regrettably, this is true also of the next 10 names from Noah to Abraham. But all is not lost. Fortunately, the next 40 names after that, as recorded in Matthew's genealogy of Abraham to Jesus, are reasonably certain. And the meaning of these latter 40 names support the renderings of the first 20 names.

A secret acrostic encoded 4000 years ago proclaims the message of forgiveness. The first letter of each consecutive Hebrew name from Adam to Abraham (a total of 19 names) reads, "I will forgive my enemies, showing compassion, forgiving those made from dust a second time."

There is also another acrostic code found in the parallel ungodly line of Cain. It contains 8 names and reads, "I will choose a circumcised people for myself (i.e., Jews), even (many) peoples for myself (i.e., Gentiles)."

Notes about the connection between the acrostic
and the Christmas narrative found in the Bible

The acrostic encoded within the godly genealogy of Adam to Abraham reads,

"I will forgive my enemies, showing compassion, forgiving those made from dust a second time."

And the acrostic in the ungodly line of Cain reads, "I will choose a circumcised people for myself (i.e., Jews), even various peoples for myself (i.e., Gentiles)."

---The Christmas Story

The acrostic resembles thematic elements found within all four Christmas hymns as recorded
in the Gospel of Luke.

1. The Magnificat by Mary, (1:46).

Both the code and the Magnificat emphasize the raising up of the lowly. The Hebrew word for
forgiveness may also mean, to lift up. Hence, the code may read, "I will lift up those who
have risen up against me, having compassion, lifting up those (low in) the dust a second
time!" Similarly, Mary said, "He has put down kings from their thrones, lifting up on high
the men of low degree." Mary is quoting the song of Hannah in the Old Testament. "He raises
up the poor out of the dust, to make them sit with princes," (1Sam. 2:8).

2. The Benedictus by Zechariah, (1:68).

The Benedictus in part reads, "Salvation from our enemies... To give to His People a
knowledge of salvation in the forgiveness of their sins, through the tender compassion of
our God." Compare it with the code: "I will forgive my enemies, showing compassion,
forgiving those made from dust."

3. The Gloria in Excelsis Deo by the angels, (2:14).

The angels proclaimed, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward
men." The code also bridges the gap between heaven and earth through the forgiveness of
sins.

4. The Nunc Dimittis by Simeon, (2:28).

The short hymn of Simeon exclaims, "For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast
prepared before the face of all people; a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of
thy people Israel." Compare this with the bible code: "I will choose a circumcised people
for myself (i.e., Israel), even peoples for myself (i.e., Gentiles)."

--- The Acrostic and the Two Genealogies of Christ

In the New Testament, Matthew traces Christ back to Abraham whereas Luke traces him all the way back to Adam,
(Matt. 1:1; Luke 3:38). Remarkably, Adam and Abraham are the very two persons already
alluded to in our code and who begin and end the acrostic.

Luke begins his genealogy with Jesus and ends it with Adam. Both are called the son of God,
(Luke 1:35, 3:38). By calling both Adam and Jesus "the son of God", Luke infers that
Jesus is the second Adam. This agrees with the prophecy in the code where it says that
forgiveness would come the "second time" therefore inferring a second Adam. Forgiveness was shown the
first time to Adam, the man of dust, who is the fallen son of God. Consequently, forgiveness
is prophesied to come the second time through the second Adam, Jesus, the risen Son of God.

The first time that God forgave sins was when God covered the nakedness of Adam with a skin
taken from a slain animal, (Gen. 3:21). This was the first time that blood was ever shed on earth. The
bible states that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins, (Heb. 9:22). Jesus, the second Adam, was lifted up on the cross to pay the dept of sin whereby God could righteously forgive all who repent and believe on Him.

Adam I

Cain Will

Enoch Select

select will I

Therefore, the "peoples" spoken of in the code refer to both Jews and Gentiles. This opening sentence is encoded within the ungodly line of descent ---those of Cain who were "driven out from the presence of the Lord", (Gen. 4:14, cf., Job 18:19 in Hebrew). The fact that this first sentence is encoded within the ungodly line of descent (who perished in the flood) rather than in the godly line implies something important. It implies hope to lost men. It seems to indicate that the ungodly line of Cain is symbolic of the gentile seed in general (i.e., non-Jews) who were cut off from God and separate from the chosen seed (of Abraham) until the time of Christ. Thus, whereas the godly line represents the elect seed unto Abraham, to David, and then on to Christ; conversely, the ungodly line of Cain apparently represents the alienated seed.

"Wherefore remember, that once ye, the Gentiles in the flesh, ... that ye were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world." (Eph. 2:11-12)

"... and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he afore prepared unto glory, even us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles? As he saith also in Hosea, I will call that my people, which was not my people; And her beloved, that was not beloved." (Roman 9:23-25)

The fact that this first sentence is encoded within the ungodly line of descent (who perished in the flood) rather than in the godly line implies something important. It implies hope to lost men.

The 'first time' that God 'forgave' appears to refer to a combination of events as if all were part of one transgression. The code alludes to the original fall of Adam and also to the transgression that followed that, namely to when Cain killed his brother Abel. The reference in the code to "...forgive the one rising up against me", links it to Cain (as previously explained), whereas the reference to "forgive the one who is of dust", links it to Adam since he was formed from the dust. Only God could speak so full with meaning, and this further attests to the veracity of the bible code.

This code was written about two thousand years before Christ, and to my knowledge only now discovered in our day 4000 years later! This in itself, I believe, is a sign that God will soon reclaim His people Israel to Himself by turning them from their sins by their acceptance of Jesus (Yeshua) as Messiah. Moreover, the 70th jubilee (i.e., 70 x 7 x 7 years) from when Israel entered the Promised Land occurs within a couple of decades from now.

The acrostic then reverses direction and moves backward 10 names to Noah's son (Shem) thereby forming 4 more words, a total of 10 Hebrew words.

Amazingly, this is very similar to the style and construction of Matthew and Luke's genealogies. Like the acrostic, Matthew and Luke move in two different directions in their genealogy; Matthew moves backward and ends with Adam whereas Luke moves forward and begins with Abraham. Similarly, the acrostic begins with Adam and ends with Abraham's father (Terah) and then begins again with Abraham and moves backward (and ends with Noah's son Shem). The construction of the acrostic is arranged so as to draw attention to the offspring's of Adam, Noah, and Terah, (i.e., Seth, Shem, and Abraham). Each of their offspring foreshadow Jesus. Jesus is the fulfillment of God's promise that by the seed of the women (Eve) a Savior would come, (Gen. 3:15).

The bible code connects this event to the fact that when the veil/seal was removed at His death/resurrection, the mysteries of God were all loosed, (Revelation 5). However, they are nevertheless concealed to man until the day of God's choosing. (See Daniel 9:24-27.) This particular oracle about Christ, for instance, was hidden ("encrypted") within the "mene-mene-tekel-uparsin" words 2500 years until the day He choose to reveal it! That, in itself, is a sign to us that we are in the last days! The book of Hebrews (10:20) tells us that this torn veil symbolizes His flesh, and thus the latter part of the code about 'the mina being painfully torn in half to become a half-mina' bears special meaning. This also helps explain why the code immediately after that says, "Nevertheless, He will blind their eyes." Those that refuse to see, He blinds!

The words, "The message will be carefully encrypted" literally reads, "'It" will be carefully encrypted."

This division is set from ancient times and will play out at the time of the end. The Lord is going to pressure Israel by allowing the beast and his followers to overrun the nation and rule it for the second 1,260 days of the 70th week decreed. Only the Lord can break this division and He will do it by saving a believing remnant of Israel and at the same time He will ultimately destroy all but 1/6th of the entire group of surrounding nations who vex His own national people.

Wouldn't you just love to see this revealing happen...Make a great movie huh...

http://www.bible-codes.org/acrostic_prophecy.htm


Don't you think that Cain representing the Gentile nations is amazing..

Oh my goodness.. You explain it in the next paragraph...I better read and then wait to ask...but here it is:

An acrostic is a type of bible code. Psalm 119 is a classic example of an acrostic in the bible. The first letter of each series of sentences move successively through the Hebrew Alphabet. (Also true of Psalm 9, 10, 25, 34, 37, 111, and 112.) These are obvious acrostics. However, there seems that there is a secret acrostics in the bible as well. This article explores one of those 'hidden' ones --- hidden for 4000 years! The acrostic summarizes the plan of salvation from the beginning of time.

Maybe we can talk about that one for a minute...

You mean like this...

1) A- word is born.

2) B-y Gods breath

3) C-ome and listen

4) D-o what l say....and so on...

So Shekel...when this is said: (same page)



it means that the second time forgivness goes all the way back to the garden...

Another part that l find similarly important and exciting is when Mary went to Elizabeth...
Elizabeth knew right off. What a thing to believe right off!... Think of all the signs and wonders Christ did and many still wouldn't believe it. Yet here were Elizabeth and Simeon...And they just knew it. Look at poor Zacharias... and Sari...she laughed but didn't get punished like he did.

But his punishment was sweet proof.

The coming to these codes remind me of this.. (Or there coming to me) Why can l believe right off?
I don't even fully understand? Well..I did wondered about certain things along the way..The Moth for example. Why a moth and not a butterfly...But why a serpent on the pole?

I had a dark dark season of doubt....It's on the forum. It's almost impossible to talk about now.

Also in the codes there is concrete evidence. It only adds over and over again to the validity.
Some say...well I don't need the codes. I already believe. It's good you believe. But for me to see what Shekel said.. The unsealing of a thing kept hidden as referred to by Daniel is overwhelmingly awesome...
And l get to be one of the foolish things he uses...my my.

And no offense anybody...But here is one of the greatest things in Biblical history unfolding before our eyes and you don't even want to talk about it? I can only think you don't see it or that you are afraid (just in case it's wrong) it will make you look like a fool... Yep! A fool for the Lord.

But l don't want to strike the rock. This is a hard thing to believe and without much evidence and personal revelation you won't cross the river. BUT NOTHING VENTURED NOTHING GAINED. Faith! Go forward in faith and a pure heart and God will show you. What do l mean by a pure heart? I mean honest motive.

Did God call you here or not? Did he call us to all argue or did he call us to dialogue and give the Spirit a chance to speak? I'm guilty too. Sometimes it feels safe to slip back into the flesh. That may seem odd to you...but it's just honest. Sometimes l want my blankee... Like a child who gets out into the great big world..It fusses and hides it's head in the blanket because there's so much input to deal with...

For me the codes have been a little this way. The implication of them and the responsibility of the way l act and treat Dean and others... also the superficial way l sometimes treat the codes. I think it's a safety mechanism .. this fleshly way of acting out. I guess one great comfort l've gained along the way is to be who l am. To be who God created me to be. I don't need to be a great scholar or mathematician.

l was just standing at the door waiting..and here it comes..A Great Revelation!

The Jews had their own acrostic interpretation of the name Adam. In the 2nd century, Rabbi Yohanan used the Greek technique of notarichon to explain the name אָדָם as the initials of the words afer, dam, and marah, being dust, blood, and gall.

Yes Miki, there is a contrast of women here in the bible code, but the two women in contrast are Rachel and Leah, the two wives of Jacob, the first loved and the second not loved.

In this code, however, it says that Yeshua's (Jesus) love for Leah is burning, and while Rachel is in the code as well in a positive way, it is Leah that has the special place to Yeshua.

I understand Leah to symbolize the Church (the bride of Christ), and Rachel to be symbolic of Israel --- but I could be wrong. It is a matter of interpretation.

I recall that Bilhah is also there too.

Same page..



20 more years?

One interesting thing l've noticed as l read is that some of the questions that pop into my mind are almost immediately answered in the following sentences or paragraphs...Example:

http://www.bible-codes.org/acrostic_geneal...-bible-code.htm


The first thing that came to my mind was "can this be random"?...

How can we know to switch back and forth? Ta dah! It follows:

It is truly strange that no one else discovered this acrostic before, especially because many Jewish scholars enjoy acrostics as codes over the centuries. I searched the internet and cannot find anything even close. Yet the Hebrew is on the level of a child. So I can only assume that God hid it from the searching eyes of thousands of rabbis over the centuries.

How can we know to switch back and forth? Ta dah!

Miki I find it very interesting that you are speaking of Simeon today. I too have been there as well.... actually for a few days. Dani and I were lead to Deut. 33 last Friday during our Bible Study and noticed that Simeon was not listed with those that Moses blessed of the 12 tribes. Dani also question the order that they were blessed. Well then I brought up the Simeon and Anna thing in Luke. I had done some study in the past and knew that Simeon meant "hearing" and Anna means "Grace". So today after reading what you had wrote about Simeon this morning I was lead to do some searching.

1st of all I was reminded of when Joseph's brother's had come to Egypt because of the 7 year famine. Joseph to test his brothers hearts 1st placed them all in prison for 3 days! Then Joseph sent them back for Benjamin but kept Simeon bound in Prison. I find this interesting because of the fact that Simeon "hearing" is bound! He was not restored with his brothers until the 2nd meeting of Jospeh.

So can we apply this to Israel today.... at the 1st coming of Christ (type/ Joseph) their ears were stopped or bound just as Simeons? The scripture says that they 1st stayed in prison for 3 days....

Hosea 6
1Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
2After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. 3Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

He will bind us.....3rd day he will raise us up?

After the brothers come back with Benjamin.....Joseph reveals himself to his brothers. At Christ 2nd coming their deaf ears will finally hear! Just as Simeon was unbound and back together with his brothers (ears unstopped and hearing) Christ reveals Himself finally to Israel at His 2nd coming. Just as Joseph at the 2nd coming of his brothers was revealed.

Now to Simeon and Anna..... Hearing and Grace. Anna was from the tribe of Asher. Maybe this was the answer I to Simeon being Absent in Deut 33 and the placement of Asher being blessed by Moses last.

I think that Simeon although not mentioned in 32 or 33 is alluded to in Deut. 32 in the Song of Moses. Just read it you will find that it rings of the word "hearing" (Simeon) Now then Asher is the last tribe blessed by Moses. This is the same order you find Simeon and Anna in the New Testement. Simeon "hears" his spiritual eyes are opened to the Messiah and then Anna the Prophetess from the tribe of Asher... "Grace and blessings" come at the end.

Zechariah 12:10
And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

It was all prophesied right in the the Old testament as usual. I know that this was a little off of the code subject... yet you were talking about the 144,000 and the revealing and Simeon and I just was drawn there today. I need to read Psalms 90-100 the 11 other stanza's of the Song of Moses. That is another interesting thought... there are 11 in Psalms.... and I think that the 1st stanza Deut 32 is the Simeon stanza.

Isaiah 6
9And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

Israel is certainly at the moment spiritually deaf...."Simeon" but one day I think very soon they will Have Grace poured out upon them and be spritually blessed! "Anna/Asher"

"I will be lifted up by those who have risen up against me..."

Even the type of death that the Messiah would die is signified by the bible prophecy code. Three out of the six Hebrew words have to do with 'lifting up', plus one more reference to one being laid low (in the 'dust'). Since the word for forgiveness in Hebrew may also mean, "to lift up", therefore the code may read:

"I will lift up those who have risen up against me,
having compassion, lifting up those (low in) the dust a second time!"

Or the code can even read in the passive tense:

"I will be lifted up by those who have risen up against me,
having compassion, lifting up those (low in) the dust a second time!"

Now it happens that the common euphemism used in the Gospels to describe Jesus' death by crucifixion is that of "being lifted up".

"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life." (John 3:14-15; cf., John 12:32-34.)

"And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die." (John 12:32-33)

This code was written about two thousand years before Christ, and to my knowledge only now discovered in our day 4000 years later! This in itself, I believe, is a sign that God will soon reclaim His people Israel to Himself by turning them from their sins by their acceptance of Jesus (Yeshua) as Messiah. Moreover, the 70th jubilee (i.e., 70 x 7 x 7 years) from when Israel entered the Promised Land occurs within a couple of decades from now.

Your Grace Is Enough Lyrics
Chris Tomlin

Great is Your faithfulness oh God
You wrestle with the sinner's heart
You lead us by still waters and to mercy
And nothing can keep us apart

So remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise
Oh God (You remember Israel!)

Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me

Great is Your love and justice God
You use the weak to lead the strong
You lead us in the song of Your salvation
And all Your people sing along




So remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise
Oh God

Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me (x2)

So remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise
Oh God

Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me

Your grace is enough
Heaven reaching down to us
Your grace is enough for me
your grace is enough
I'm covered in your love
Your grace is enough for me
For me

:You know Miki what you had to say about the storm got me to thinking...

Just maybe this has something to do with the effects of the reversed nun. If it has to do with Judgement... then when it is revsersed it is poured out on others! You also brought up the Simeon thing I wrote about in your code thread. One of the things I found interesting in respect to what Simeon says in Luke is this....

Luke 2:34 (empahsis added is mine)

34And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;

There is that Nun thing again... that just keeps resufacing!


QUOTEThe main conclusion was that the Nuns refered to the "Downfall and rising again"

It seems to come back to this... in the Nun thread... the Tappahanock thread..... Now Simeon in the Code thread. The Nun seems to always be a judgement of sort. So maybe when it is reversed the others get there do judgement like in the case of the storm. Just thinking outloud.....

Hmmm something is certainly up!

Yes, three days = resurrection, and only the living can hear:

Joh 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live.


And note that this "hearing" is both "now" and to come.

"the dead shall hear" + "they that hear shall live"

=> the dead shall live

"I will be lifted up by those who have risen up against me,
having compassion, lifting up those (low in) the dust a second time!"

Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come closer to me.” And they came closer. And he said, “I am your brother Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt. 5 “Now do not be grieved or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life. 6 “For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting. 7 “God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to keep you alive by a great deliverance. 8 “Now, therefore, it was not you who sent me here, but God;

It reminds me of what the drought (dust) must have been like that second year of the famine in Egypt and throughout the entire world when Joseph's brothers had to go down to ask for food.

Genisis 45...


It was weepy to reread this story this morning...how Joseph delighted to forgive them and reasure them and how he wept!

Joseph Reassures His Brothers

15 When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “Perhaps Joseph will hate us, and may actually repay us for all the evil which we did to him.” 16 So they sent messengers to Joseph, saying, “Before your father died he commanded, saying, 17 ‘Thus you shall say to Joseph: “I beg you, please forgive the trespass of your brothers and their sin; for they did evil to you.”’ Now, please, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of your father.” And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
