The Number 22

Four days later on November 16 at 9:13 p.m., God brought Auschwitz to mind for a 51st time, and I was led to February 7, 2024 as the date to visit it – 2 months and 22 days away. This was the second visit to Auschwitz on this trip, falling exactly one Hebrew month (or approximately one lunar month) since the first (28 Tevet – 28 Shevat, 5784 / January 9 – February 7, 2024).

Continuing the theme of the number 22 in this story, this latest visit to Auschwitz was inspired precisely 22 days since my last proposed visit on October 25, 2023 – the 50th anniversary of the end of the Yom Kippur War.

Two days later on November 18, I decided to create a new chapter for this story, and ironically, it was chapter 22! Furthermore, this was the 22nd trip that God had inspired! To me, this shows an overarching design and plan that God had for this book long before I knew what was going on. He knew where the story was going, and how it would fit into this book long before I did.

What is the significance of the number 22? There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet, the Aleph-bet. Jesus also quoted Psalm 22 on the Cross; “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” – Psalm 22:1. There are also 22 chapters in the book of Revelation – the final book of the Christian bible.

Hamas, the Third Jewish Temple, October 7 & the Red Heifer

On April 9 at 8:14 p.m., three days after God inspired my visit to the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, He brought Auschwitz to mind for a 57th time, and I was led to August 28, 2024 as the date to visit it. That meant I would leave Israel that day, and visit Auschwitz that same day in Poland, leaving Israel on my 18th day. This visit to Auschwitz was inspired 2 hours and 9 minutes after sunset at 6:05 p.m., or at the start of the 3rd hour of the Jewish night. This was now the third visit to Auschwitz that God had inspired for this trip, being inspired exactly one Hebrew month since the first (2 Adar II – 2 Nisan, 5784). Interestingly, the first visit was inspired on March 12 at 1:29 p.m., and this visit was inspired on April 9, 129 minutes after sunset, echoing the time of the original visit, 28 days earlier! So, quite an unusual coincidence there, although I assume that was intentional on God’s behalf, to prove that He was behind it. It was inspired exactly four months to the d...

The Great Commission

The following day on Friday, April 26 at 8:58 p.m., 3 hours and 19 minutes (199 mins) after sunset, God brought the town of Capernaum in Galilee, Israel to mind, and I was led to August 14, 2024 as the date to visit it – 3 months and 19 days away. Amazingly, the length of time it was after sunset matched the exact time in months and days it was away until my visit to Capernaum! (3 hours, 19 minutes / 3 months, 19 days). I didn’t actually discover that until starting to write this paragraph the following day! So, yet again, that was just another way that God proved that He was the inspiration behind this visit, and it didn’t just come from my head! Capernaum was the location next to the Sea of Galilee where Jesus lived and performed many of His miracles in the surrounding area during His ministry. He also famously condemned it for not repenting, despite the many miracles performed there (Matthew 11:23 & Luke 10:15). This visit was inspired in the 3rd hour of the Jewish night, and as...

The Number 17

Here are some discoveries that I made with regards to the most recent trip to Israel that God inspired. They revolve around the number 17. Here is what I found: The trip begins on the 17th of Tammuz (Fast of Tammuz marking the breach of Jerusalem’s walls by the Romans in 70 A.D., prior to the destruction of the 2nd Temple) The trip ends on the 17th of Elul, exactly two Hebrew months later (The anniversary of the start of WWII in 1939 – (Sep 1) The first and last destinations on the trip were inspired exactly 17 weeks apart (Taupo & Tutukaka) There are 17 days between the first and second destinations on the trip The first visit to Israel is to last 17 days (Aug 11–28) The Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth was inspired on the 17th of Nisan (a potential resurrection date of Jesus), and was due to occur on August 17th The first and last inspired visits to Jerusalem were inspired exactly 17 weeks apart in the ...
