In Loving Memory

Update: On Saturday, September 5th, 2020, the founder, administrator, and head moderator of this forum, Valerie S., went Home to be with the Lord. Her obituary can be found on https://memorials.demarcofuneralhomes.com/valerie-skrzyniak/4321619/index.php.
1 Thessalonians 4:15-18
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
2 Timothy 4:7-8
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing .
Just a few interesting thoughts crossed my mind which I would like to share with everyone here.
Sky Blue 21 & Blue Moon Aug.20-21, 2013 & A Major Event, with WW3 on Horizon
On Aug 20-21, 2013 there was a blue moon! I had a vision back in 1999 or20th century of a Sky Blue 21. The 21 Century a very horrific event again took place and brought the world closer to World War 3. and that’s where it stands today.
On that very same day Aug. 20-21, there was a Chemical weapon strike on the Syrian people and many Syrian people were killed. (Code – Blue)!
Could this “Sky Blue 21” be a clue pointing to the Soon Coming of our Lord Jesus at the Rapture, along with it WW3? Rapture & Sudden destruction.
On September 6, 2013 the Jewish people will be celebrating one of their Holy days, Rosh ha Shana, or the Feast of Trumpets. We know that every time the enemies of Israel would attack or try to attack the Jewish people it would be on their holy days as they are busy celebrating during that period of time. Could it happen this Rosh ha Shana, Sept. 6th, 2013?
Now we know that many Jewish weddings still take place on a Tuesday, therefore,tomorrow Tuesday, Sept. 3rd, 2013, is only 3 days away from Rosh ha Shana Sept. 6th, 2013. Scripture states the Lord will raise us up, on the 3rd day; the dead in Christ first and then we whom remain?
Plus we also know that the U.S. Senate will not convene until Sept. 9, 2013, making it 3 days, AFTER Rosh ha Shana Sept. 6th. 2013.
3 days before, plus 3 days after, equals 6 days (mentioned above). On
the 7th day God rested, from creating the world. Therefore we know that 1 day in God's eyes, is as a 1000 years. We have past the 6 thousand years, and the 7th thousand year is upon us and some say it has already started, therefore, we will be removed via the Rapture and we shall rest with God in Heaven.
Now I also heard that on Sept. 7th, 2013 the Pope is calling all people to come together and pray on that day for the Middle East, especially Syria, Israel. Could this turn out to be the day AFTER Syria is attacked by the U.S. and perhaps the Rapture takes place? We can only speculate at the moment. Could the U.S. convene the Senate earlier, or a surprise attack on Syria on Rosh Ha Shana, because of the enemy attacking Israel on that day?
I just thought that this is interesting how one date follows and the interesting fact about the chemical attack on that day in Syria, plus the blue moon falling on Aug. 21st and the Sky blue 21 I saw.
Is this is a clue to the soon Rapture, or is just mere coincidence? Time will tell if indeed this is a clue to the closeness of our departure.
I don't know the EXACT date of the Rapture, but I do know it's ever so imminent now!
Maranatha!

Moon phases for Jerusalem, Israel
◾Blue Moon on Wednesday, August 21, 2013 at 4:45 AM (third Full Moon in a season)
http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/moonphases.html?n=110
"Fair Use for Information & Discussion Purposes"
Blue Moon Facts, etc.
Although the full moon on Aug. 21, 2013, will look like an ordinary full moon, it's actually a bit extraordinary—a blue moon.
What is a Blue Moon?
There are in fact two definitions for a blue moon. According to the more recent definition, a blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar month. For a blue moon to occur, the first of the full moons must appear at or near the beginning of the month so that the second will fall within the same month (the average span between two moons is 29.5 days).
The Other Kind of Blue Moon
The older definition, which is recorded in early issues of the Maine Farmer's Almanac, states that the blue moon is the third full moon in a season that has four full moons. The full Moon on Aug. 21, 2013, will be this type of blue moon. Why would one want to identify the third full moon in a season of four full moons? The answer is complex, and has to do with the Christian ecclesiastical calendar.
Some years have an extra full moon—13 instead of 12. Since the identity of the moons was important in the ecclesiastical calendar (the Paschal Moon, for example, used to be crucial for determining the date of Easter), a year with a 13th moon skewed the calendar, since there were names for only 12 moons. By identifying the extra, 13th moon as a blue moon, the ecclesiastical calendar was able to stay on track.
For more background information on the controversy over the two definitions of blue moon, see the Sky and Telescope article, "What's a Blue Moon?" In it they explain how the two different definitions of a blue moon came about—including their own role in introducing the second, modern definition
A Star Rating for the Modern Blue Moon
Although Sky & Telescope calls the modern blue moon definition "trendy" and a "mistake," the fact that there is an older, pre-existing (and more complicated) definition does not necessarily make it the more interesting or meaningful definition. Charting the "third full moon in four full moons" in a season isn't everyone's idea of an fascinating enterprise. The modern, "trendy" definition, however, points to an intriguing astronomical phenomenon—every so often two moons can manage to position themselves in the same month. Given that full moons occur once every 29.5 days, this is quite an accomplishment!
How Often Does a Blue Moon Occur?
Over the next 20 years there will be about 15 blue moons, with an almost equal number of both types of blue moons occurring. No blue moon of any kind will occur in the years 2011, 2014, and 2017.
The more recent phenomenon, where the blue moon is considered to be the second full moon in a calendar month, last occurred on August 31, 2012. Two full moons in one month may occur in any month out of the year except for February, which is shorter than the lunar cycle.
The other, older blue moon event, which happens when there are four full moons in a season, last occurred Nov. 21, 2010. Since this type of blue moon is reckoned according to the seasons, it can only occur in February, May, August, or November, about a month before the equinox or the solstice
Once in a Blue Moon
The rare phenomenon of two blue moons (using the more recent definition) occurring in the same year happens approximately once every 19 years. 1999 was the last time a blue moon appeared twice, in January and March.
The months of the double blue moons are almost always January and March. That is because the short month that falls in between them, February, is a key ingredient in this once-every-19-year phenomenon. For January and March to each have two full moons, it's necessary for February to have none at all. Since February is usually 28 days long, and the average span between full moons is 29.5 days, if a full moon occurs at the end of January, it's possible for the next full moon to skip February entirely and fall in the beginning of March.
Once in a Blue Moon
"Blue moon" appears to have been a colloquial expression long before it developed its calendrical senses. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first reference to a blue moon comes from a proverb recorded in 1528:
If they say the moon is blue,
We must believe that it is true.
Saying the moon was blue was equivalent to saying the moon was made of green (or cream) cheese; it indicated an obvious absurdity. In the 19th century, the phrase until a blue moon developed, meaning "never." The phrase, once in a blue moon today has come to mean "every now and then" or "rarely"—whether it gained that meaning through association with the lunar event remains uncertain.

What's a Blue Moon?
The trendy definition of "blue Moon" as the second full Moon in a month is a mistake.
July 27, 2006
by Donald W. Olson, Richard Tresch Fienberg, and Roger Sinnott
Recent decades have seen widespread popular embrace of the idea that when a calendar month contains two full Moons, the second one is called a "Blue Moon." The unusual pattern of lunar phases in early 1999 — two full Moons each in January and March, and none at all in February — triggered a groundswell of public interest. Countless newspapers and radio and TV stations ran stories about Blue Moons.
Rising full Moon
A rising full Moon lights the scene in The Fishing Party, painted by Fitz Hugh Lane after a visit to the coast of Maine in August 1850. That month contained a Fruit Moon, according to the Maine almanac's rules.
In an article entitled Once in a Blue Moon, folklorist Philip Hiscock traced the calendrical meaning of the term "Blue Moon" to the Maine Farmers' Almanac for 1937. But a page from that almanac belies the second-full-Moon-in-a-month interpretation.
With help from Margaret Vaverek (Southwest Texas State University) and several other librarians, we obtained more than 40 editions of the Maine Farmers' Almanac from the period 1819 to 1962. These refer to more than a dozen Blue Moons, and not one of them is the second full Moon in a month. What's going on here?
Blue Moons and the Seasons
Several clues point to a strong connection between the almanac's Blue Moons and the four seasons of the year. All of the listed Blue Moons fall on the 20th, 21st, 22nd, or 23rd day of November, May, February, or August. These dates fall about a month before the Northern Hemisphere winter and summer solstices, and spring and fall equinoxes, respectively, which occur on similar day numbers.
Although the idea of a seasonal pattern suggested itself to us immediately, verifying the details required a lot of detective work. We found that the Blue-Moon definition employed in the Maine Farmers' Almanac is indeed based on the seasons, but with some subtle twists.
Instead of the calendar year running from January 1st through December 31st, the almanac relies on the tropical year, defined as extending from one winter solstice ("Yule") to the next. Most tropical years contain 12 full Moons — three each in winter, spring, summer, and fall — and each is named for an activity appropriate to the time of year (such as the Harvest Moon in autumn). But occasionally a tropical year contains 13 full Moons, such that one season has four rather than the usual three.

Keep those prayers coming to the throne for our family in Christ, for Israel, and that God's will be done. Remember Aaron and Hur who held up the hands of Moses during the fight with Amalek.
Father God, we come in the name of Jesus asking that You please don't remain silent. Arise and let Your enemies be scattered so that the world will know YOU are the living God. For Your name's sake, show Israel that You are mighty to save. Why should unbelievers get away with saying "where is their God?" or other terrible things about You. Please defend Your name. Please bless and protect Benjamin Netanyahu and give him the spirit of wisdom and understanding.
We pray for our family, Your family, that their faith will not fail, that their witness will be strong, that they be full of the Holy Spirit and have provision. Your will be done on earth, God, as Your will is done in heaven.
Amen. Maranatha. Come quickly Lord Jesus.
Thanks Dale for your remarks & comments. Yes Regina, let's continue to pray for them.
Here is more interesting information...!
Happy New Year or Rosh Hashanah to the Jewish people!
Rosh Hashanah 2013 began in the evening of Wednesday, September 4
and ends in the evening of Friday, September 6.
Sept. 4,5,6 two full days celebrating Rosh Hashanah! (Wed. Thurs. Fri.)
Sept 7, third full day after the evening Friday (Saturday) or first day after.
According to the Hebrew calendar, Rosh Hashanah is celebrated during the first two days of the 7th month called Tishri.
Could it be that these 2 days of the Jewish New Year or Rosh Hashanah celebration, are a sign, that we will be celebrating soon at the Rapture; which could take place on the 3rd day which would be Saturday Sept 7th? For Saturday is the 7th day of the week, and this particular Saturday falls on the 7th date. Plus the fact that it is the 7th month on the Hebrew calendar. Saturday in Hebrew is called Sabbath, or day of rest.
Therefore, we have the 7th day, 7th day of the week, 7th month Tishri, Hebrew Calendar. (7 + 7 + 7 = 21)
Let's look at theses numbers in the Bible and their meanings 4, 5, 6, 7 & the number 9 for the month of Sept.
"Fair Use for Information & Discussion Purposes"
Meaning of Numbers in the Bible
The number 4 means (World - Creation)
Now 4 is made up of three and one (3+1=4), and it denotes His creative works. He is known by the things that are seen. Hence the written revelation commences with the words, "In the beginning God CREATED." Creation is therefore the next thing - the fourth thing, and the number four always has reference to all that is created. It is emphatically the number of Creation; of man in his relation to the world as created...

The number 5 means (Grace - Redemption)
Five is four plus one (4+1). Now we have a further revelation of a People called out from mankind, redeemed and saved, to walk with God from earth to heaven. Hence, Redemption follows creation. Inasmuch as in consequence of the fall of man creation came under the curse and was "made subject to vanity," therefore man and creation must be redeemed. Thus we have:
Father
Son
Spirit
Creation
Redemption
These are the 5 great mysteries, and five is therefore the number of GRACE

The number 6 means (Man - Labor)
While six is the number of man in his opposition to and independence of God. It is the number of things that have a beginning, of things that are made, of material things, and matter itself. It is the number of material completeness
In any case, therefore, it has to do with man; it is the number of imperfection; the human number; the number of MAN as destitute of God, without God, without Christ.
At any rate it is certain that man was created on the sixth day, and thus he has six impressed upon him. Moreover, six days were appointed to him for his labor; while one day is associated in sovereignty with the Lord God, as His rest.

http://www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible/6.html
The number 7 means (Spiritual Perfection - Completeness)
We come now to the great number of spiritual perfection. A number which, therefore, occupies so large a place in the works, and especially in the Word of God as being inspired by the Holy Spirit.
What does the word for 7 mean in Hebrew?
But now turning to the number 7, we must first consider the meaning of the word.
In the Hebrew, 7 is shevah. It is from the root savah, to be full or satisfied, have enough of. Hence the meaning of the word "seven" is dominated by this root, for on the seventh day God rested from the work of Creation. It was full and complete, and good and perfect. Nothing could be added to it or taken from it without marring it. Hence the word Shavath, to cease, desist, rest, and Shabbath, Sabbath, or day of rest.
It is 7, therefore, that stamps with perfection and completeness that in connection with which it is used. Of time, it tells of the Sabbath, and marks off the week of seven days, which, artificial as it may seem to be, is universal and immemorial in its observance amongst all nations and in all times. It tells of that eternal Sabbath-keeping which remains for the people of God in all its everlasting perfection.

The number 9 means (Finality - Judgment)
Nine is a most remarkable number in many respects. It is held in great reverence by all who study the occult sciences; and in mathematical science it possesses properties and powers which are found in no other numeral. It is the last of the digits, and thus marks the end; and is significant of the conclusion of a matter.
It is akin to the number six, six being the sum of its factors (3 x 3=9, and 3+3=6), and is thus significant of the end of man, and the summation of all man's works. Nine is, therefore, representative of finality or judgment.
How does 9 represent finality or judgment?
Nine represents finality or judgment that is committed unto Jesus as "the Son of man" (John 5:27; Acts 17:31). It marks the completeness, the end and issue of all things as to man - the judgment of man and all his works. It is a factor of 666, which is 9 times 74.

Therefore a short note on the number 21 & it's meaning
21 is the three-fold 7, and signifies Divine (3) completion as regards spiritual perfection (7)
Read more under the number 20, 21 is included
http://www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible/19.html
I've also seen other places where it has another meaning of
Exceeding sinfulness of sin.
Read more under the number 21
http://www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible/21.html
Then again it sounds like it has a double meaning in the two urls above.
Today is September 8th, 2013, as we continue to watch daily for the Lord's Coming at the Rapture.
The biblical meaning of the number 8, is most interesting as it means "new beginning". Will today be the day of our new beginning with the Rapture, via a Rapture Flight to Heaven? God knows and we'll soon find out if today is the day, or do we have to wait a bit longer yet.
Maranatha!

The Meaning of Numbers: The Number 8 means - New beginnings, Resurrection..
This number specially associated with Resurrection and Regeneration, and the beginning of a new era or order. When the whole earth was covered with the flood, it was Noah "the eighth person" (2Peter 2:5) who stepped out on to a new earth to commence a new order of things. "Eight souls" (1Peter 3:20) passed through it with him to the new or regenerated world.
The 8 days of the greatest Feast
The Feast of Tabernacles lasted eight days, with a special reference to the Incarnation (John 1:14).
Jesus' transfiguration took place on the eighth day
The transfiguration also took place on the eighth day (inclusive reckoning) after the first announcement of Christ's "sufferings," and it was the showing forth of the "glory" which should follow at His coming again.
In the Bible the number 8, which comes after the number (7) which signifies completeness, symbolizes a new beginning, or a new order of things, a new creation, a new birth, and the resurrection to eternal life.
http://www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible/8.html
"The Feast of Tabernacles lasted eight days, with a special reference to the Incarnation (John 1:14)."
This just dawned on me, if we're still here come tomorrow,Sept. 9th, perhaps the Feast of Tabernacles is the (season of the Rapture) since it lasts for 8 days, and the number 8 means new beginnings, resurrection, new order, etc. Any one of the 8 days the Rapture could take place, and we certainly don't know the "exact day or hour" which only God knows. I believe this feast is called the feast of Booths as well. The Feast of Tabernacles, will be celebrated by everyone on Earth, as they will have to travel to Jerusalem, once a year, to worship the Lord Jesus, in person, when He finally sets up His kingdom here on Earth.
By the way, I think I seen it posted some where that it falls on Sept.21, 2013, this year...could be a Heavenly Skyblue 21, within those 8 days...keep watching.
Feast of Tabernacles begins..

Wed, 18 September 2013 at sundown (15th of Tishrei, 5774)
THEREFORE, SEPTEMBER 21ST, 2013, WILL BE THE 3RD DAY OF THIS FEAST.
THE LORD WILL RAISE US UP ON 3RD DAY, OH WHAT JOY!!!!
