The DOW broke up through 9200 today, only one month later than when I prophesied on April 28, 2009 that it would happen by or in June 2009. Why the one month delay to July 2009? I either heard wrong or God changed His mind on timing. Also, given we had a correction from about 8800 to 8200 (600 points) during the end of June and beginning of July, I have been asking the Lord if He switched the timing and whether the correction which He mentioned on June 13,2009 happened before the DOW touched 9200 rather than after. I honestly don't have clarity.
As a reminder, on May 19, 2009 He said there would be a “jump” in the market after the “hop” and “skip” were completed. It looks like the “jump” is happening this July 2009 and might take us to all the way to 10,000. More commentators and economists are saying we have turned the corner on the bear market and are in the beginning of a bull market as I heard from the Lord on June 7, 2009.

Patterns
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.

Hop, Skip and Jump to 10,000
On May 19, 2009 I wrote, "The Lord is playing a hop, skip and jump game with the forces that took the S&P 500 to 666 on 3-6-9. “3-6-9” is the hint. The Lord says, 'Watch the market hop, skip and jump.' The Lord showed the stock market has hopped (steeply) up from March 6 to March 23. It has skipped (along a more gently sloped rise) from March 23 to now. And it will jump up (a steeper rise) in the future to place the DOW at 10,000. Incredible? No :-)"
My logic says a jump is bigger than a hop. The hop was about 1300 points on the DOW. Did the jump start on July 13, 2009? We will see.
I'm looking for the jump.
I'm looking for the DOW to go to 9200.
I'm looking for the DOW to go to 10,000.
My expectations had been the DOW at 9200 last month and the DOW at 10,000 by September 16, 2009. I was wrong about the DOW at 9200 in June. Despite my timing being a bit off, is the Hop, Skip and Jump still an accurate word from the Lord? I'm believing. Is 9200 soon still accurate? I'm believing. Is 10,000 later this year accurate? I'm believing.
And I put my money behind my beliefs. Fully invested with no cash on the sidelines. I have been exceedingly well rewarded so far and I give Him the honor He deserves.
I simply can't believe His intention to provide recovery and restoration for retirees a few months ago would change abruptly. If I had a great earthly father and mother, which I did, how much more loving and awesome is our heavenly Father? He only asks we acknowledge Him and give credit where it is due. Even if we cannot see the heavenly spiritual winds that blow and resuscitate lives.
As a side note, many Christians as well as secular investors have been citing the following song... completely independently and unbeknownst to each other. I've read at least two different Christian prophets, one internationally recognized, reference this song as well as one secular investing newsletter. I have been singing and agreeing as well. It's been a splendid summer which has surprised my socks off. In the midst of a supposed recession which some Christians think is leading to even a depression, I've been living off of my investments and spending some time hiking in the Sierra Nevada. I'm a real estate broker by trade and my income had plummeted last year and this year due to buyers failing to get financing and sellers not wanting to sell in this market. I was indeed fearful about my financial situation at the beginning of this year, that I would have to sell the home I had prayed to spend the rest of my life in. But somehow He led me into the stock market and buy a stock which pays out a generous 14% dividend and which also appreciated in my portfolio (my average purchase price was $5.25 and the stock is now trading over $9). He had a delightful plan for me even though all my striving and laboring in my real estate brokerage came up with rocks and thistles.
The Lord is spectacularly, awesomely and stupendously good, which we all know. But sometimes I, too, through my fears or judging perspectives (he who judges will be judged) turn down the volume on the superlatives. This summer He showed me my new financial future in the stock market and how He operates is indeed spectacular (in contradicting reason and facts), awesome (in bailing my finances out while the government bails the banks out) and stupendous all around. Who the Son sets free is spectacularly, awesomely and stupendously free... even getting free financially in the worst recession since the great depression. May God, oh may God actually get the glory for once for His kindness! He rains on the righteous and unrighteous alike, and I thank Him for that!
Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Oh, Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
But until that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With your daddy and mammy standing by
Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry
