The death toll from the tornado that devastated much of Joplin, Missouri, on May 22 has risen to 153, the city said Monday.

The count includes one person who died as a result of a rare fungal infection contracted after the person was injured by the tornado, Jasper County Coroner Rob Chappel said. Two other people who died also had the infection, but in those cases, injuries from the tornado were the primary causes of death, Chappel said Monday.

Also included in the toll is Riverside police Officer Jefferson Taylor, who was struck by lightning the day after the twister. Taylor, one of the many emergency personnel from outside Joplin who assisted the city, would not have been on duty there were it not for the tornado, Chappel said.

The previous death toll, reported last week, was 151.

The tornado cut a path of destruction nearly 14 miles long - nearly 7 miles of which were in city limits - and up to 1 mile wide. The southwest Missouri city has a population of about 50,000.

***********************
3 weeks, or 576 hours; 24 days from May 22-today including 5/22 and today

576 in Strongs is anah, meaning "I" or "me"
24 in Strongs is
1) fresh, young barley ears, barley
2) month of ear-forming, of greening of crop,of growing green; Abib, month of exodus and passover (March or April)

Its interesting because of the date. It happened in May. Might our calendar really be off? Things happening on God's schedule but we are off in naming the months? Coincidence or is God telling us something about the time we are in?

From his post:
John 21:11 is the famous verse about the catch of the 153 fish.

153 = the 17th triangle #.

the 153rd triangle # = 11,781

according to the web site Biblewheel.com the 11,781st verse is

2 Chronicles 28:16

http://www.biblewheel.com/GR/GR_Database.asp?SearchBy_VerseNumber=11781

"At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him."

notice it has to do with Assyria. I think Damascus is destroyed at the same time as the Resurrection/Rapture, and the 153 fish 'catch' out of the sea is the Resurrection/Rapture event.

the Resurrection (fish brought up from beneath the waves), the Rapture (fish pulled to shore, to the Lord). note also/catching a it looks like the Lord "shouts" to them. He has to since they are 'about' 200 cubits out from shore. this may match the Shout from 1 Thess 4:16-17.
