I have really been seeing 33, 3:33 and 333 a lot lately and felt the need to do research. This first part is form my recent Bible Study and the latter part is from the scrubbed Space Launch today. Remember – Jesus never told us to “speculate”, but He did tell us to WATCH and PRAY!

  • Jesus warns to “watch and pray in Mark 13:33 “Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.” Also see Mark 13:34, 35, 37; 14:34, 37, 38
  • Ezekiel 33:3 speaks of the WATCHMAN, “‘when he (watchman) sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people,…”
  • Jeremiah 33:3, “‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.”
  • Isaiah 33:3, “At the noise of the tumult the people shall flee; when You lift Yourself up, the nations shall be scattered;”

Number 33 – Why is Holy Spirit highlighting this number right now? Watch & Pray!

  • On Lag B’ Omer this year was historic in Israel. There are 49 days of Counting of the Omer between Passover and Pentecost, and Lag B’Omer is the 33rd Day.  LAG is made up of 2 Hebrew letters which also represent a Hebrew number. Lamed (30) and Gimel (3) which total 33.
  • Normally Israel observed Lag B’ Omer holiday with over 100,000 worshipers at Mt Meron in the upper Galilee area of Israel, with all night worship and huge bonfires. This Historic year May 12, 2020 there was a limit to the fire and a very, very small limit to the worshipers. No bonfires were allowed in Jerusalem during the quarantine.
    • One reason for the observance, it is the day that the plague which took the lives of Rabbi Akiva’s 24,000 students came to an end.
    • Lag B’Omer is the day that marks the passing of one of Rabbi Akiva’s greatest students, Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, in the second century CE. He died on Lag B’ Omer and was known for his light and fire of his teaching. He was believed to have been buried on Mt Meron

In the Bible, number 33 is the number of complete work. 

  • Jesus finished His earthly work on the 33rd year of His life.
  • There are 33 authors that complete the Bible.
  • Elohim (Trinity name) appears 33 times in Genesis Chapter 1.
  • King David reigned in Jerusalem 33 years (I Chron 29:27).

In Barbie Breathitt’s book on “A-Z Dream Symbology Dictionary” she wrote, “33 means “Promise, high prospective and spiritual consciousness, honesty, knowledge, and understanding; dying to self.”

So, I observe from the Bible that 33 is a very interesting number! But remember, the devil never creates anything – he only perverts. View the next examples  that are not a Biblical view:

  • Free Masonry has 33 degrees – 33rd being the highest level they can achieve. The House of the Temple in Washington DC has 33 outer columns which are each 33 feet high. 
  • 33rd Parallel – These are the cities of the world that rest directly on the 33rd parallel: Islamabad, Pakistan, Baghdad, Iraq, Phoenix, AZ, Long Beach, CA, Birmingham, AL.
    • FDR died on the 33rd parallel north, at Warm Springs, GA, and was replaced by the 33rd President of the United States, Harry Truman who was a 33rd Degree Mason, and was the first President to order the dropping of the atomic bomb, which was tested on the 33rd degree parallel, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Years later, JFK was assassinated in Dallas, TX, a city close to the 33rd parallel.
  • Ancient Vedic Religion (Hinduism) – 33 is the number of their deities
  • Buddhism – The word trāyastriṃśa is an adjective formed from the numeral trayastriṃśat, “33” and can be translated in English as “belonging to the thirty-three [devas] – second level of heaven
  • Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage visits 33 Buddhist temples throughout Japan
  • According to Al-Ghazali (Persian Philosopher), dwellers in heaven will exist eternally in the state of being age 33.
  • Islamic prayer beads are normally sets of 33 beads
  • Pope John Paul 1 was the 33-day pope, shortest reign in history
  • Klu Klux Klan – 33 is one of their symbols. ‘K’ is the 11th number of the Alpha Bet and 3 times 11 is KKK
  • Psychic – 33 is a Master Number (Master Teacher) and resonates with energies of compassion, blessings, inspiration, honesty, discipline, bravery and courage. Number 33 tells us that ‘all things are possible’. 33 also symbolizes guidance
  • Angel Number – 33 symbolizes growth – seeing 33 often means you need to ‘grow up’!

33 years ago – 1987, President Reagan (40th President), Russian Mikhail Gorbachev and Pope John II worked together to change the world. Perry Stone wrote in his Unusual Prophecies Being Fulfilled Prophet Series, Book 4 is “The Pope, The Eagle and the Iron Sickle.”

  • President Reagan is best know for “tear down that wall”
  • Mikhail Gorbachev is most famous for ending the Cold War and during his presidency USSR ended after 70 years
  • Pope John II was actually a defender of the Jews during WWII and living in Poland he worked to save many Jews from the Holocaust

Today the US Space Launch was scheduled. Some things interesting about this special launch are:

  • It was the first US Space launch since 2011
  • It is the first US Space Launch of the Decade
  • It was supposed to liftoff at 3:33 pm CST
  • The Rocket Ship was called Dragon. The SpaceX Dragon, also known as Dragon 1 was a reusable cargo spacecraft developed by SpaceX, an American private space transportation company.
    • Dragon is mentioned 12 times  in the 12th chapter of the Book of Revelation (12 is the biblical number of governmental perfection – see E.W. Bullinger’s Numbers in Scripture)
  • No longer will we be relying on Russia Russia Russia to get into space.
  • It is rescheduled for Saturday, May 30, Which is the 2nd Day of Jewish Feast of Pentecost, known in Hebrew as Shavu’ot. This year we have Jewish Pentecost 2 days followed by Christian Pentecost Sunday — 3 days of Pentecost!!!! And I believe it will Historical. The prophets are really expecting a sound from heaven and a mighty move of God on the earth.

One of the young area intercessors wrote this today: “I was knee deep in a COVID Biblical comparison of 333 and the gist of it was a lot of people have been seeing 333 recently since COVID started and they feel like it’s an angelic sign – that 3 dots 3 dashes 3 dots is a sign for SOS and that God is stirring up to get our attention, which lines up with a lot of the word of the season. To get ready and to get with God and to listen to what He’s doing and what He’s speaking because of the importance of this time.”

 

 

 

Eclipse Moon April 4 2015 2This photo was taken with SkyView App on my iPhone. We had a very cloudy sky so I watched the viewing online with Time.com.

The moon eclipsed closest to Porrima (aka Gamma Virginis). This is a binary star, meaning it consists of 2 stars that orbit together appear as one. I cannot find the Hebrew name for this star.

Virgo StarsWhen the eclipse reached totality, I joined believers around the world to pray for Israel, for the peace of Jerusalem according to Psalm 122:6 and Isaiah 62.  IsraelBreakingNews.com, April 2nd, carried a warning from an Israeli Rabbi regarding this blood moon and the numeric 4.

“A mystic rabbi living in southern Israel is urging all Jews to pray and repent as the third Blood Moon of a tetrad cycle approaches. Rabbi Amram Vaknin, who similarly predicted the events of the Gaza flotilla and the Carmel forest fire in 2010, and Operations Pillar of Defense (2012) and Protective Edge (2014), warns that Israel is facing great judgment and potential danger at this time. One of Rabbi Vaknin’s students, Gil Nachman, spoke to Breaking Israel News and, quoting the sage, explained that the numeric value of the Hebrew word for blood, dam, which is 44, alludes to the 44th president of the United States.” Read more at http://www.breakingisraelnews.com/35128/shocking-passover-blood-moon-predictions-by-israeli-rabbi-jewish-world/#XYyDWk3TfuIFzjdd.99

I was reading in E.W. Bullinger’s book Witness of the Stars this morning regarding the biblical meaning of the Constellation Virgo. On the bottom of page 33 Bullinger wrote “In the Zodiac in the Temple of Denderah, in Egypt, about 2000 B.C. (now in Paris), she (Virgo) is likewise represented with a branch in her hand, but ignorantly explained by a false religion to represent Isis!

ISIS? Watch and pray my friends. We are living in very exciting times.

It is not for us to speculate, Jesus never told us to speculate. Rather, He told us in Mark 13 “4 times” to “Watch”. The Greek word for watch is ‘agrypneō’, and means ‘to be sleepless, keep awake, watch’. This word is only found 4 times in the Bible and all 4 times are in this passage as Jesus commands us about the day or the hour of His Second Coming.

Shabbat Shalom my friends. Keep looking up! His redemption is drawing near (Luke 21:28)
