500 Days

On February 14, 2024, 69 days after God inspired me to travel down to Hokitika, I made an interesting discovery. February 19 would mark exactly 500 days since leaving Alexandra on October 7, 2022, and had been travelling around ever since. It is also the 50th day of the year. At that point, I would have spent precisely 40 weeks in hotels and motels (including two nights I won as a prize on August 8, 2023), 10 weeks (70 nights) in my car, and 150 nights in my tent, for a total of 500 nights. Incidentally, my first and third proposed baptisms were also separated by exactly 500 days! (Feb 18, 2021 – Jul 3, 2022).

February 19 would also mark exactly 7 months and 7 days since I ran out of money on July 12, 2023, and had to start sleeping between my car and tent.

Interestingly, 7 months and 7 days between July 12, 2023 and February 19, 2024 is exactly 222 days! There is no other month in the year where if you start and add 7 months and 7 days that it adds up to 222 days. All the other months come up short using these particular dates.

The reason I found that interesting is because exactly 7 weeks earlier on December 27, 2023 – at almost the exact same time (approx. 7:23 p.m. & 7:32 p.m.), I discovered that the Hebrew root word of the words “blessed” and “blessing”, add up to 222 in Hebrew Gematria! Thus, February 19 would mark 500 days since leaving Alexandra, the 50th day of the year, and 7 months and 7 days or 222 days since running out of money on July 12, 2023!

The night of February 18–19 would mark my 70th night sleeping in my car, and my 28th in a row since January 22, 2024. Incidentally, February 18 would be day 500 since leaving Alexandra, and three years to the day since my first proposed baptism at the Yardenit baptismal site in Israel in 2021. It also marks the second finding of John the Baptist’s head, as celebrated by the Orthodox Church on February 24.

February 19 also marks day 1,700 since setting my Elijah Challenge on June 26, 2019.

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 ...
