In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. Genesis 7:11
Dear Lord, help me to communicate this as I ought to.
Dear Saint, We’re in a countdown to something... By the time you finish this message, you’ll fathom the urgency in Jesus’ words ‘The Kingdom of God is at hand’.
The Lord is lately using what I understand as a countdown clock to show me that something is imminent. The last several months, every single time I am drawn to see a clock, or any scrolling number, whether my phone beeps, or I happen to look, it’s a ‘countdown number’...17, 27, 37, 47, 57, 67, 77, 87, 97, 07.
There’s a significance to this number series - beginning with ‘17’ that will amaze you. So, before we talk about something fast approaching, let’s look at numbers. Because God’s math reveals secrets..
God is all about numbers. They are used endlessly in Scripture with a mathematical precision. You will see that numbers add deeper meaning and emphasis to Bible truth.
To begin, we need to see that every letter of the Hebrew alphabet represents a number. EVERYTHING God has ever said - has a numeric value - with an underlying truth. VIZ:
I JUST looked down at the time. (‘44’ is a a smile from heaven. I’ve written about it before, so I’ll skip the topic for now..)
To plumb the fathomless depths of Bible verses- studying the numbers of the Hebrew words’ letters, will reveal secrets otherwise hidden to even experienced researchers1.
NUMBERS: GOD USES THEM TO REVEAL SECRETS. (Researching the numbers of the Hebrew alphabet adds extraordinary nuance to the words they spell.)
PICTURES: The Hebrew alphabet also has a concept or ‘thing’ associated with each letter. (Ditto).
Before we take an example, let’s first set the stage for the END TIME PROPHESY I’m about to reveal. Look at Matthew 24:37
‘..AS IT WAS in the days of Noah, SO WILL IT BE at the coming of the Son of Man’.
This is a loaded verse of…
Wow!.. I just looked down.. ‘57’
..back to my thought,… This is a LOADED verse of Scripture →(Matthew 24:37)
‘AS IT WAS.. in the days of Noah…. they were eating and drinking..’
There is far more to this plain statement than appears on the surface..
For starters - ‘THEY’ were eating and drinking.. marrying.. giving in marriage’.
The word ‘THEY’ is a very interesting word in Scripture. It’s MUCH more than a pronoun. THEY is used when Jesus was NOT talking about ‘God’s people’. When he was addressing his disciples, he’d say ‘YOU’, or ‘YE’ . However, when speaking of ‘others’, Jesus would use the pronoun ‘THEY’. 2
There is much more to this verse than ‘who was affected’.
What you’re about to see - is the shocking connection between Noah’s day and today, made visible by the pictures and numbers of the prophetic Hebrew words.
As we go through the verses, pay close attention to the frequent reference to numbers - by the Holy Spirit.
Let’s begin in Genesis 7:11
‘In the SIX HUNDREDTH year of Noah's life,
in the SECOND month,
the SEVENTEENTH day of the month,
the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up,
and the windows of heaven were opened.’ Genesis 7:11
Notice in this verse - the number 17. It’s the 1st number in this countdown clock that I’m being shown this year.
Even before I researched what I am about to show you now, I was moved to watch 17, because the Lord kept putting it on my spiritual radar; not the least of which was the →year →2017..
2017
As the Lord showed me then, 2017 was the last year the USA had to ‘come clean’ and repent for its national crimes against humanity, before judgment would be passed on us.
I published this fact FURIOUSLY on social media, using a COUNTDOWN CLOCK to the Day of Atonement..
The foreboding of the 2017 eclipse, a harbinger shown in the darkened skies exclusively over the USA, was further marked out by the VERY SIGNIFICANT number ‘FORTY’.. the Biblical number of JUDGMENT, and another number used repeatedly in Scripture to drive that point home.. 40 days and 40 nights.. 40 years in the wilderness..David reigned 40 years.
On the 40th day after the eclipse fell the 2017 ‘Day of Atonement’.. which is Biblically when the Judge throws down the gavel and passes judgment -Not guilty or - GUILTY. Sentencing and executing of the sentence follow later.
American never repented, and 2017 came and went. Our 8 year coma3, that began in November of 2012, ended in November of 2020.. and we died. From the ashes rose up Babylon the Great, our new iteration - Biblically prophesied; attached to a litany of terrible prophesies to come - recorded in Jeremiah (50 & 51) Isaiah (14) and Revelation 18.
The only thing left for anyone to do, was to warn the Church as the execution of judgment approached. Which is what I am doing now. To mostly deaf ears.
TO SHOW YOU THE INCREDIBLE BIBLICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF 17, I’ve made a list below this chart - of each of the letters in the Hebrew word ‘seventeen’.. using this chart for the meanings: THIS IS SHOCKING.
Seventeen - (bə·šiḇ·‘āh) HEB: בַּחֹ֙דֶשׁ֙ הַשֵּׁנִ֔י בְּשִׁבְעָֽה־ עָשָׂ֥ר י֖וֹם
Starting from right to left, here are the letters of the Hebew word ‘besibah’ - ‘seventeen’, and their individual meanings. Especially significant meanings are in italics.
(INTERESTINGLY, there turns out to be SEVENTEEN letters in the Hebrew word ‘17’)
בַּ -House
חֹ֙ -reveal
דֶ -beginning
שׁ֙ -destruction
הַ -tent wall
שֵּׁ -destruction
נִ֔ -tent peg
י בְּ -allow
שִׁ -consuming/ destruction
בְ -allow
עָֽ -watch/understand
ה -tent wall
עָ -watch/understand
שָׂ֥ -destruction
ר -communicate
י֖וֹ -tent peg
ם -water/ mighty / chaos
Though some letters were repeated in the word, I left them in perchance their repetition concentrated their meaning.. As it seems to me to be the case.
The words if gathered into a sentence, paint a very clear picture of destruction by water, accompanied with great chaos, that we are to understand was permitted by God,
There is an important Biblical research precept, that will contribute even more to our understanding of the word 17.
The precept is that the first usage of any word - defines the word through the rest of the Bible.
Accordingly, let’s look at the first usage in Scripture of number ‘17’:
‘In the six hundredth year of Noah's life,
in the second month,
the SEVENTEENTH day of the month,
THE SAME DAY were all the fountains of the great deep broken up,
and the windows of heaven were opened.’ Genesis 7:11
On the SEVENTEENTH day of the 2nd month the flood that destroyed all life on earth that was not on the Ark, began.
Now let’s look at the 2nd usage in Scripture of the number ‘17’.
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month,
on the SEVENTEENTH day of the month,
upon the mountains of Ararat.
It rained for 150 days; The windows of heaven closed, and for 150 days the waters abated, then on the 17th day of the 7th month, the ark built for the catastrophe- rested.
From what we’re seeing, the number 17 is associated with catastrophe. Which letters of the word agree.. VIZ:
שִׁ consuming/ destruction
בְ allow
עָֽ watch/understand
שָׂ֥ destruction
ם water/ mighty / chaos
It appears the definition of 17 could be interpreted as;
“Watch - and understand. For I, the Lord your God, will bring a consuming destruction by a mighty cascade of water..”
Additional letters in the word, add the concept of this being ‘revealed’ and ‘allowed’. Pursuing this further, I examined a few additional verses with the number ‘17’.
Did you know that the word ‘seventeen’, appears only 14 times in ALL OF SCRIPTURE, and ALL of them are in the Old Testament.
Each use of the word ‘17’ confirms the pattern.
VIZ: The next usage of ‘seventeen’, is found in Genesis 37. In verses 2, 4, and 28 - we read:
2 These are the generations of Jacob.
Joseph, being SEVENTEEN years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren;
and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they HATED him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.5
And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they HATED him yet the more.
28 Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and SOLD JOSEPH to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.’
In Joseph’s 17th year, he was hated, and sold into slavery in a foreign land. Isn’t it interesting, that the Holy Spirit, on top of all the details in this critical record - included Joseph’s age - which turned out to be ‘17’.. the number of destruction..
Let’s take another example: The next verse in order is Genesis 47:28
‘And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt SEVENTEEN years:
so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.’
TWO numbers in one verse;
His 17th year in Egypt - was the year Jacob died. Before he ‘gave up the ghost’, Jacob gathered his sons around them, and said something incredible.. Did Jacob celebrate his life in Egypt, where his son was ‘Second in command to pharaoh’?
No. He did not. Jacob took an oath from his sons, that they would not bury him in Egypt - but would take him to Canaan, the land of their fathers, to be buried.
Let’s look at a few more examples of the use of 17 in Scripture.
In order: II Kings 14:21, 22, 24, 30:
‘And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was 41 years old when he began to reign, and he reigned SEVENTEEN years;
JUDAH DID EVIL in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, ABOVE ALL that their fathers had done;
There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land. They COPIED ALL THE ABOMINATIONS of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites;
And THERE WAS WAR between Rehoboam and Jeroboam ALL THEIR DAYS’.
I don’t have to beat this dead horse, but so far, 17 is not associated with anything good. Here’s a few more examples, just to seal the case:
I Kings 22:51,52
Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the SEVENTEENTH year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel.
And he did EVIL in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin:
II Kings 13:1,2
In the 23rd year of Joash the son of Ahaziah king of Judah - Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned SEVENTEEN years.
And he did that which was EVIL in the sight of the LORD..
The final such record is in II Chronicles 12:13, same deal - this time Rehoboam, reigned 17 years.. and did evil..
I think we have a solid Scriptural case for 17 being a harbinger of ill.
But what is the ‘11’ I’ve seen for 11 years?
17 tells what is coming, whereas 11 is how close we are to the midnight hour.. While I was writing this, I was moved to look down - for a split second it was 11:11… then 12.
There is a lot more to show you about this, but this is enough for you to digest, and for me, it’s time to close up shop here. Let’s close this segment in Isaiah 26:3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on thee:
because he trusteth in thee.
VJCB
Good thing we’ll have eternity to scratch the surface of the endless intricacy of God’s matchless word.
This gets particularly significant in Matthew 24;16 - 19, because he is saying that when the armies of the antichrist arrive - the ‘occupants’ of Judea are not ‘Israel’, but ‘others’. A topic that will be covered in another discussion.
The template was shown in Ariel Sharon’s 8 year coma and subsequent death.
I just looked at the stats of this post, that discusses a countdown clock of 2 digit numbers that end with 7.. as in, 17, 27, 37.. etc. It was viewed 157 times.
