In late June or early July of this year a funnel cloud was photographed over the small town where I grew up in South Eastern Utah. I have had family living in this area for years and as far as I know this is simply unprecedented. And while it did not touch down it provided quite the excitement for the inhabitants of this little town.
So in light of that I came across something interesting that I wanted to share. Nothing to do with tornados but rather a picture as striking in its content as the one above but with one difference- the picture I’m talking about is one not of painted images or photographs but one of words.
If you have read my blog recently you know that I wrote a post earlier this month titled Strongs 2556. I have found it interesting over the years to use Strongs not just for its definition of Hebrew and Greek words but to occasionally look at a particular number to see what word might be associated with it which is what I did with Strongs 2556 in my last post.
Today, I thought it would be in interesting to look at the number 5782 as that is the current year we are in according to the Hebrew calendar. And what I found was interesting enough that I decided to look at the number for the next seven years going forward. The current year as most of you know will be changing in just a few days on the Feast of Trumpets which is September 25- 27th which will place us then in the year 5783.
Okay, so let’s take a look and see what we get.

This is not to say that each of these things will happen on those specific years. I look at it as a period of time that encompasses all of those elements. And with the Feast of Trumpets just a few days from now, it certainly won’t be long until we’ll see.

So, could this be the rapture – if that is what you are implying?

Hi Ben, What I am saying is that the words that the present year through the next seven years paint a compelling picture for that. But of course, at this time we don’t know that for sure. But based on scripture and the present condition and state of the world I would say it is certainly with in the realm of possibility
