Heaven Bound

In the early morning hours of December 16th a huge free standing aquarium at the Radisson Hotel in Berlin, Germany violently exploded sending 1,500 tropical fish and thousands of gallons of water through the hotel lobby and into the street where most if not all of the fish perished immediately in the frigid temperatures of the early morning day.

Now, I found that to be rather interesting for a number of reasons which I have outlined below.

1) It occurred two days before Hannukah. *Many are looking for a Hannukah rapture based on some very sound reasoning. See Steve Fletcher on YouTube for some of his recent studies, if you haven’t already.

2) Sudden destruction involving fish

3) Sudden destruction involving water

4) The number H1500 in Strongs Concordance – derived from the number of fish in the story which means plunder or spoil (as in take a spoil)

◄ 1500. gezelah ►Strong’s Concordance gezelah: (Hebrew) plunder or spoil

There are 5 occurrences of this word all having to do with robbery or plunder of the poor. One example is Ezekiel 33:14-15

“And if I say to the wicked man, ‘ You will surely die, but then he turns away from his sin and does what is just and right — if he gives back what he took on pledge for a loan, returns what he has stolen (robbed, spoiled, plundered), follows the decrees that give life and does no evil, he will surely live, he will not die”.

5) The number H5038 derived from the dimensions of the aquarium (50×38) which means a carcass or corpse

5038. nebelah ►Strong’s Concordance (Hebrew) nebelah: a carcass; corpse

There are a number of verses where this word is used so I chose one at random and it turned out to be a very interesting choice.

“But your dead will live; their bodies (carcass, corpse) will rise. You who dwell in the dust, wake up and shout for joy. Your dew is like the dew of the morning; the earth will give birth to her dead. Go my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by. See, the Lord is coming out of his dwelling to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will disclose the blood shed upon her; she will conceal her slain no longer.” Isaiah 26:19-21

And it also reminded me of this verse from Matthew

“Wherever there is a carcass there the eagles will gather” Matthew 24:28

Summary

A hotel is not where one lives but is a temporary dwelling

1500 tropical fish are living in this artificially contained environment which is not their natural home … . Kind of like life is for us. This world is not our home

Suddenly and without warning they are released by a catastrophic event i.e. destruction …

Plundered you might say; Which reminds me of this verse from Exodus –

And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled (or plundered) the Egyptians.” Exodus 12:36

their dead bodies (carcasses) strewn about … awaiting gathering for disposal. When God gathers us together he will in essence have plundered us from among the Egyptians in other words this world. Egypt is always a picture of the world.

*I haven’t much time to work on this so will post as is. Hopefully, I have provided some food for thought even if it’s imperfect in its development. Maybe some one else can further pull these threads together. Watching the next 24-48 hours closely. May God be with you all.
