The DOW closed at 8881 today. On July 19, 2009, The Elijah List sent out their newsletter with an article by Larry Jackson who wrote the following, “During the course of my studies, I learned that the number 888 is the numerical value for the name Jesus in Greek. Iesous, the name Jesus in Greek, is: I (10) + e (8) + s (200) + o (70) + u (400) + s (200) = 888. A detailed account of how Father gently led me to the place where I understood the meaning of 888 is in my new book ‘Knowing God by the Numbers.’” To me, having filed away the July 19, 2009 newsletter (which I rarely do, I only save two or three dozen of the daily newsletters a year, the rest I delete from my email) and then for 8881 to occur in the DOW two days later is potentially a fascinating coincidence. Is the Lord behind coincidences like these? Sometimes.
A couple others coincidences I have noticed and described before. The lowest point on the S&P index this year was 666 on 3-6-9. As you know, I believe the date 3-6-9 portends a hop, skip, and jump. Has the market hopped? Yes. Has it skipped? Yes. Will it jump? I’m watching and believing.
If the Lord can design the wonders of this intricate and exquisitely beautiful universe, He certainly can gives insights – and perhaps add a little humor or zest – to patterns and designs in creation. Even man-made creations. The Old Testament lyrical accounts of the wonders of nature and the heavens shows humans love to consider and explore the designs of the world around them. I believe the existence of fractals and enigmatic subatomic particles, for example, reveal the Lord’s mathematical and scientific creative brilliance coupled with simple aesthetic beauty and elegance. No one makes things more intriguing and beautiful at the same time than the Lord. This statement doesn’t do Him the justice but I hope you can sympathize with the fact some patterns may not be purely random. They might be His fingerprint in even a man-made design.
So today there was an 888. Hm. I don’t know what or if it means anything. But I will continue to watch and see.
"Sierra" - About Me
- Prophetic Trader
- I am a prophet in arenas which I call "the fields I plow", primarily that of the U.S. economy, politics and stock market, but also whatever else He shares with me. He graciously has expanded the scope of sharing with me over the years. I am transparent in this blog. You will witness a prophetic person fairly new to prophesying publicly exhibit some immaturity, which I have not deleted, but hopefully you will see growth and increased maturity over time. I often spend hours a day with the Lord to cultivate the gifts for the fields He has called me to. It is the craving of every fiber in my being to be close to Jesus Christ and the Father and I hunger to sit at His feet like Mary. I believe this is the birth place of a prophet and He has and is birthing many prophets across the world to speak over and pray for many issues. Sometimes it is the most excruciating thing you will do as your flesh is crucified in this calling. But it is also the most glorious thing to be drawn closer and closer to Him. It is worth the cost, but please know it is a painful and frustrating cost at times, should you desire it. I hope you desire it!
I value your friendship and prayers.
