When Will The Thieves Fall Part II:

3,333
A Major Step In Prophecy Began
(Getting More Specific)

          NOTE: Events From The Birth Of Abram Unto The Birth Of David Occurred In The Third Millennium From Creation.*   Now Humanity Has Entered The Third Millennium From the 5 BC Birth Of Jesus.**

• O.K., the Third 1,000 year-day from the 5 BC Birth of Jesus began at sundown 16 April 1996 as 6001/2001 got underway in the spring of 1996 AD;
   

• the Third year of The LORD'S Day (6003/2003) began at sundown 27 March 1998;
   

• the Third month of that Third Biblical year began at sundown 24 May 1998; and
   

• the Third day of that Third month began at sundown 26 May 1998.
   

• Note: Each Biblical year begins with the day of the first New Moon following the Vernal Equinox so anyone can count the days.

          The 3,333 identifies a very special day, a most unique 24 hour day in the history of humanity, as it marked the beginning of a major step in prophecy.

          Many ancient events prefigured changes now evolving.   For example:

          1. Joseph interpreted dreams of Pharaoh's butler and baker.   Therein on the Third day the butler was lifted up and restored to his former position; whereas, on the Third day the baker was hanged (Genesis 40:10-20).   The butler and baker represent the more obedient versus the more disobedient.   Both had been dwelling together in this unrighteous world (the prison) (Matthew 13:30; Jeremiah 31:27; Amos 9:9); however, on the Third day one is elevated to form the eternal Congregation while the other is condemned to desolations which include 500 years of misery in the Eighth Millennium.

          2. After two full years, in the Third year, Pharaoh had two dreams.   At that time Joseph was lifted up out of prison and elevated to become chief ruler over all Egypt (this world) under Pharaoh.   Joseph was given a golden ring, a gold chain, and a new wife (Asenath)(Genesis 41:1-57).   Joseph was then 30 years old, i.e. Joseph had been in Egypt 14 years (Genesis 37:2; 41:46) prefiguring the 14 preparation years depicted by the 14 days through Passover and Jesus' 14 plus hours in death before resurrecting in the predawn hour of the first day of the Week of Unleavened Bread which always follows directly after Passover (Leviticus 23:4-8).   Note: Jesus' resurrection actually occurred on the Seventh Day of the calendar week (compare John 20:1 with 20:19).   Next examine Daniel 5:29-31 and note that age 62 is the same as 6002 cardinal (completed), i.e. 6003 ordinal (in progress).

          3. Joseph then put his brethren in ward Three days and on the Third day Joseph gave them provisions, restored their money (wealth), and sent them to their father (Genesis 42:17-18).

          4. In the Third day of the Third month the LORD came down in the sight of all the people (Exodus 19:1,11,15-16).   This was in the first year, the year that the people arrived at Sinai even before GOD'S Holy Ark was assembled under Moses.   Thus, when the LORD initially reappears He will most probably appear in the form of a cloud by day and a shining like a flame of fire by night (Isaiah 4:5; 40:5; 29:6; Ezekiel 37:26-28; Leviticus 26:11-12; Exodus 25:22; 40:34-38; Zechariah 2:5,10-13; 8:3; Joel 2:27).

          "And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai."

Exodus 19:11

          5. Hezekiah was told "I will heal thee: on the Third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD" (II Kings 20:5,8).   Also see: Exodus 6:2-8; 15:26; 23:25; Isaiah 33:24; 35:5-6; Jeremiah 30:17-24; 33:6; Joel 2:25; Revelation 21:4.

          6. Hezekiah was given a sign to occur in the Third year as the LORD spoke of Three years wherein the real harvest occurred in the Third year (II Kings 19:29; Isaiah 37:30).

          7. The number 333 is associated with the Exodus. That is, before the Israelites departed the land of Egypt, darkness was upon the land for Three days (Exodus 10:21-23); GOD then sent the Hebrews Three days journey into the desert as the Exodus began (Exodus 3:18; 5:3); and after crossing the Red Sea they journeyed north Three days into the wilderness before finding fresh water (Exodus 15:22).

          8. David's rendezvous with Jonathan occurred on the Third day (I Samuel 20:5,12,19) and on the Third day David is given the hallowed bread to eat (I Samuel 21:5-6).

          9. Hezekiah laments, "This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth" (Isaiah 37:3; II Kings 19:3).   But the LORD answered King Hezekiah's lamentations via a variety of avenues as evolving events are described (Micah 4:9-10; 5:3; Isaiah 66:7-9; 52:10-12; 13:8-12; Revelation 12:2-5).

          The birth of the child is prefigured by the Virgin Birth.   That is, the child is brought forth before the marriage is consummated.   Initially, the Congregation is betrothed unto GOD (Hosea 2:19-23); the Betrothed Wife is then given unto the Son, the Son officially receives His Kingdom (Daniel 7:13-14; Revelation 11:15; Exodus 21:9); and finally the marriage is consummated on the glorious Solemn Assembly (Genesis 49:1,10,24; Zephaniah 3:18; Leviticus 23:36,39: Nehemiah 8:18).

          The Human Shepherd has been brought forth 18 years before The LORD'S Day began (i.e. 40 years before the Solemn Assembly: Micah 7:15; Isaiah 61;1-3; 49:5-6; Numbers 27:16:17; Malachi 4:5-6).   His life has been much like Job's (compare Psalm 89:20-37 with 89:38-52 and 88:1-18; also Lamentations 3:1-21).

          The Little Flock has been established in the tenth year (the separation of the Lambs: Exodus 12:3; Revelation 7:1-8; Luke 12:32).

          The Great Multitude then materialized following Passover Year (i.e. on the first day of the "Week of Unleavened Bread": Revelation 7:9-17).   The Proclamation of Liberty occurred on Atonement in the final or 120th Jubilee Year, in the year 6000 from Creation, (i.e. on 3 October 1995)(Leviticus 25:8-10; Genesis 6:3).

          Now the Gleanings are those who must die for their beliefs and witnessing (Revelation 6:11; 13:15; 14:13; 20:4; Leviticus 23:22; 19:9-10; Deuteronomy 24:19-22; Isaiah 56:8).

          Eventually, the Congregation will be identified by the cloud by day and shining like a flame of fire by night (Isaiah 4:5; Zechariah 2:8; Psalm 91:1-16; etc.).   Meanwhile, beware of false witnesses (Matthew 26:60-61; Mark 14:57-59), beware of false prophets (Ezekiel 14:3-11), beware of phony laws (Ezekiel 20:24-26), beware of strong delusions (Isaiah 66:4; II Thessalonians 2:11), and beware of false doctrines (Deuteronomy 4:2; Proverbs 30:5-6; Matthew 5:17-19: Revelation 22:17-19).

          10. The Third 1,000 year-day is clearly described (Hosea 6:1-3; Luke 13:32; Daniel 7:25; Revelation 12:14; Matthew 20:19; John 2:19,1; 4:40-43).

          Note again, the Third 1,000 year-day from the 5 BC Birth of Jesus is the exact same interval as the Seventh Millennial Day from Creation.   It is called The LORD'S Day, the Last Day, the day of the LORD'S vengeance, the day of joy and gladness, etc.

          11. The Third year of The LORD'S Day, the Third month of that year, and the Third day of that month identify a specific 24 hour Biblical day that began at sundown 26 May 1998.   It marked the beginning of significant changes foretold more than 2,500 years ago.

          "Then took I the cup at the LORD'S hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me."

Jeremiah 25:17

          Thus, it is a day when the wicked commence to drink of the dregs of the cup of the LORD'S fury.

          "Awake, awake, stand up (be seen) O Jerusalem (the Congregation), which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of His fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out...

          "Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine...

          "Behold I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of My fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:

          "But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over."

Isaiah 51;17,21-23

          12. After the flood, Noah and his followers together with the first Holy Ark (Habakkuk 3:3) were sent forth from the great wooden ark to settle in Kiriat Arba (Hebron).   Then, in the days of Peleg (Genesis 10:25), about 333 years after the flood, the LORD sent many of His people from the Hebron region (Kiriat Arba) to the three remaining river regions (Nile, Euphrates-Tigris, and the Indus River regions).   These regions had been reestablished after the flood by the Sabeans who immediately after the flood had rejected Noah's rulership and returned to their respective former homelands.   Remember, events of the flood transpired for 377 days (i.e. 1655-1656 from Creation); so, counting 1656 as year one, 333 years later would be in the year 1988 from Creation (i.e. c. 2017 BC).   Thus, all at once the Hyksos Kings appeared in Egypt, the Akkadians in Mesopotamia, and the Aryan Rulers appeared in India.   And 333 is linked to the restoration of the more righteous over those who rejected the Word of GOD via His chosen leader who at that time was Noah.

          13. Another interesting tid-bit of historical significance began with the Third leader of Islam.   That is, beginning with Omar (Sultan Omar ibn al Khattab) the second Caliph (successor) to Muhammad (Abu Bakr was the first Caliph) ... beginning in 4641 from Creation thru 4973 from Creation (333 years) the Moslems reigned over the Holy Lands.   However, the Caliphate (seat of the Caliph, the successor) first resided in Medina for 25 years, then moved to Damascus under the Umayyads for 89 years, and then to Baghdad under the Ab'basids for 219 years ... three different locations in 333 years.   Then, at the end of this 333 year interval, the Caliphate moved to Egypt.   Ishmael al Darazi, Caliph Hakim (Egypt), now combined both Islam and Christianity as the Druse (Duruz = Arabic plural of Darazi).   This union of Christianity and Islam then reigned over the Holy Lands for 102 years.   Ishmael al Darazi, of course, was the son of a Christian mother and a Moslem father.   Therefore, he recognized common grounds of both religions and rid the lands of Palestine of its myriad pagan high places.   At the end of the 102 year Druse reign over the Holy Lands, the Seljuk Turks in 5075 from Creation drove out the Egyptians and slaughtered 3,000 in Jerusalem alone.   The Turks then reigned over the Holy Lands for 25 years before the Druse regained dominion for 3 years.   The Druse were then decimated by Christianity's first bloody crusade that slaughtered all non-Christians in Jerusalem.   And so, the bloody history of Jerusalem continued on and on.   Note:  here the 333 relates to when both Christians and Moslems were united as one in the Holy Lands.

          14. Now, somewhat like the Druse, the Seventh Kingdom currently reigning over this more modern world involves two horns or powers, the two families, the Christians and the Moslems.   Earlier, David's world throne had been ensconced within Jewry (Jeremiah 22:2) from Solomon unto their grave mistake of taking GOD'S Holy Ark prisoner (Zechariah 5:4; Genesis 49:1,10).   At that point the powers of GOD were withdrawn from the rulers of the Sixth Kingdom.   Their throne then transitioned from the Sixth unto the Seventh Kingdom whose rulers (former servants of the throne over the Sixth Kingdom) are to reign for only a very short time (i.e. 22 years).

          15. "Dar" in Arabic (like in al Darazi) refers to the building or wall; and, Darius in Scripture refers to the builder.   Scripture speaks of two Temple builders:  Darius the Mede and Darius the Persian.   Darius the Mede builds the first Temple; and, later, Darius the Persian builds his Temple in the bloody city in the days of "Cyrus."   (See Brian's Annex for details).
