Auschwitz on Shavuot - Part 2 Five weeks later on Shavuot, on what was to be the last day of this trip on May 26th, and having spent the last seven months living in hotels and motels trying to find permanent accommodation, I made an interesting discovery. I had left my last place of residence on October 7, 2022, which, as it happened, was the date of another visit to Auschwitz. As it turned out, it was precisely 33 weeks from October 7, 2022 until May 26, 2023 – the date of my latest visit to Auschwitz. I wouldn’t have discovered this if God hadn’t prompted me to inquire about a property that I had previously rejected about 10 days earlier in my head. That’s when I realised that both dates were visits to Auschwitz, ending on Shavuot. But then it got even more interesting. As it happened, both visits to Auschwitz were inspired on a Friday after nightfall (the beginning of the Sabbath Day), and both were due to occur on a Friday. These were the only two visits to Auschwitz that fell th

Auschwitz on Shavuot "Three-and-a-half weeks later on Friday, April 21, just after 10 p.m., God brought Auschwitz to mind for a 50th time, and I was led to May 26, 2023 as the date to visit it – precisely five weeks away. As it turned out, May 26 was Shavuot in the Jewish calendar – the 50th day since the Feast of First Fruits seven weeks earlier! So there was the obvious connection – the 50th inspired visit occurring on the 50th day since the Feast of First Fruits. In Judaism, Shavuot always falls on the 6th of Sivan, exactly 7 weeks since the 16th of Nisan when the 50-day counting of the Omer begins. In Christianity, Pentecost (the Christian name for Shavuot), always falls exactly 7 weeks since the resurrection of Christ on Easter Sunday, on the 50th day. It is just a difference of biblical interpretation of the same verse as to when the counting begins. Christians believe that the count begins on Easter Sunday, which is typically the first Sunday after Passover. Interestingly,

Playing Lotto "Four weeks later on April 2, three-and-a-half years to the day since playing my first Lotto ticket, God prompted me to buy a ticket for the following Wednesday’s draw on April 5. April 2 happened to be Palm Sunday – the day that Christians mark the triumphal entry of Christ into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey. This was the seventh time in a row that God had prompted me to buy a ticket for a Wednesday draw, ignoring those that fell on a Saturday. The first ticket was purchased for the Wednesday, January 4, 2023 draw, with subsequent tickets on January 11, January 18, February 15, March 8 and March 15 – all on a Wednesday! April 5 was an interesting date in more ways than one. Not only was it the 7th ticket in a row to fall on a Wednesday, but it was also day 777 since my first proposed baptism on February 18, 2021! (I only discovered this fact on January 4, 2023 – the first of the seven draws to fall on a Wednesday. God prompted me to buy the first of these seven

Jericho, Purim & The Feast of the Annunciation "Exactly eight weeks later on March 25 (the 3rd of Nisan in the Hebrew calendar, or the 3rd day of the Jewish religious year), I suddenly realised that it was precisely 33 days from the time that God inspired me to book a hotel in Jericho, until Easter Sunday – the day Jesus was resurrected! It was eighteen days earlier on March 7 (Purim), that God inspired me to book the hotel. In 2023, Easter falls on the third day of the Omer in Judaism, which is the 18th of Nisan in the Hebrew calendar. March 25 also happened to be the Feast of the Annunciation in Christianity, marking the visit of the archangel Gabriel to Mary to inform her that she would bear the Messiah. The Feast of the Annunciation falls exactly nine months prior to Christmas Day, marking the birth of Jesus Christ. Thus, it would appear to me that God is trying to tie the number 33 to Jesus, and more broadly, the number three to the Holy Trinity, of which Jesus is a p

The Number Three - Part II Ten days later on January 28 – day 777 since God inspired this trip on December 13, 2020, He brought Auschwitz to mind for a 49th time, and I was led to May 11, 2023 as the date to visit it. As it turned out, May 11 falls exactly 7 weeks to the day since the start of the Jewish religious year on March 23 (Nisan 1 – as mandated in Exodus 12:2). This was the seventh location that God had added to this trip. It was also now the third visit to Auschwitz on the same trip, falling on the third day since the last one. This visit was inspired on the 6th of Shevat in the Hebrew calendar, and as it happens, there was one other visit to Auschwitz that God also inspired on the 6th of Shevat exactly two Hebrew years earlier (January 19, 2021). These two visits were inspired 33 visits apart (The 16th and 49th respectively), and were to occur almost precisely 33 months apart (May 11, 2023 – February 10, 2026). Until this new visit was inspired, the 16th visit that God inspi

The Number Three On January 11, 2023 – 389 days or the 390th day since God inspired the last destination on this trip, He inspired me to choose a date to stay in Jericho in the West Bank. I was led to May 7–8, 2023, just under four months away. One week later on January 18, God brought Auschwitz to mind for a 48th time, and I was led to May 9, 2023 as the date to visit it – exactly 111 days or precisely 3 months and 3 weeks away! Remarkably, May 9 is Lag Ba’Omer – the 33rd day of the Omer – the 50-day count between the Feast of First Fruits and the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot), or Easter and Pentecost in Christianity. So, God inspired this visit to Auschwitz exactly 3 months and 3 weeks out from the 33rd day of the Omer in Judaism! But, the coincidences (they’re not coincidences) didn’t end there! This visit to Auschwitz occurs precisely three years to the day since my 3rd visit to Auschwitz on May 9, 2020! (Or 3 years and 3 days in the Hebrew calendar). And to top it off, the trip was cur

California Flooding and Atmospheric Rivers Here is an update to my previous post on December 6, 2022: https://blog.stevemoxham.com/2022/12/elijah-number-70-precisely-180-days.html “As it happened, the State of California, USA, was hit by a series of “atmospheric rivers” beginning on December 26, 2022 – three-and-a-half years since setting my Elijah challenge! Much of the state received significant portions of their annual rainfall within the next few weeks. California had been suffering from a severe drought for the last several years. Many parts of the state suffered flooding from late-December 2022 to mid-January 2023. It is ironic then that these weather events should begin three-and-a-half years since setting my Elijah challenge, which was the length of Elijah’s drought, which also ended with a great rainfall! (1 Kings 18:45)” June 26, 2019 – Dec 26, 2022 = 3.5 years.
