Yahuweh
has promised that there would be signs in the heavens, to declare His
glory, and to proclaim and make known His works. But do we
realize He has also said there would be signs in the earth?
Notice the following:
"And I will shew ... signs in the earth beneath..." (Acts 2:19a) This writing is a revealing of one such "signs" in the earth today.
In the city
nearby where we are currently visiting, there is an industrial
neighborhood whose street names and layout appear to be confirming
"Bride Signs" in the Earth. Let's look at this.
First,
there is a nearby mountain named Mt. Baker. The name 'Baker'
in Hebrew is Bakar, Strongs number <01069> and means
"firstborn," and is the Hebrew root from which the Hebrew word for
"firstfruit" is derived. This Hebrew word Bakar <01069>
has a Gematria value of 222, or (3) 2's. Again the
Scriptural numbers speak of "Division" seen in the number 2, and of
resurrection in the number three.
The First-Resurrection MountainMount Baker
itself consists of two main peaks, the number 'two' being a prominent
"Bride" sign in Scripture, and is located next to the "Twin Sisters" mountain peaks. These two peaks give
testimony, by its twin peaks, of two Virgins, as well as testimony
speaking of "Division" of the bride, seen in the number "2".
The
Twin Sisters Mountain is composed of "Twin Sisters Dunite," an
"ultramafic" rock that is mostly "Olivine" - drawing our attention to
the "Mount of Olives" in Scripture - again bearing Scriptural testimony
of the Bride (See Reference).
Mt.
Baker has just recently acquired the record for the "snowiest place on
earth," and in this again confirms the message of the Bride (Reference:
Google Earth, extremes records). In Scripture, snow speaks of
hidden treasures, a faithful messenger in the time of Harvest, and
purity, all of which are "Bride" characteristics.
Thus
it is, that Mt. Baker forms the center of reference for the remainder of the
geographical signs that follow.
In View of the First-ResurrectionOne of the main
roads is named "Bakerview Road." This is a main artery, one
of whose characteristics is that it is "in view of Mt.
Baker." The name of this road alone is not significant, until
we begin to note additional details.
I had recently
read a very good article on Bob Schlenker's web site regarding the
"iron gate" in Acts Chapter 12. I had discovered the 4200th
verses of Scripture years before regarding Acts 12:7, but had not
realized the full significance of the Iron gate until now. After
I had been pondering
the details of that article for several weeks, I was traveling down
Bakerview Road, and saw something that stopped me cold in my tracks: at
that intersection was a street with the name "Irongate Road."
I decided to investigate. I turned off
Bakerview onto Irongate Road, and the first thing I saw jumped out at me, and
shouted of prophetic meaning: Across the road was a locked, iron
gate. I looked on the map, and the road was supposed to
continue on around in a loop, but it was blocked. I could go no
further. This is an impassable barrier, and it reminded me of the iron
gate of Acts Chapter 12.
I
then noticed
a large industrial building standing as a silent sentry over the locked
Iron Gate across the road. The name of the business is
"Jasper" engines and transmissions. Immediately I saw that
the throne of Yahuweh, and the light of the Bride, are both as Jasper
Stone. And here was Jasper, presiding over the locked Iron
Gate.
I then looked to see what was the
address of the building. The business is actually in the 4200 block of
Irongate Road, but takes on the Bakerview Road address number of 2020,
reminding us of Ezekiel 20:20. The number 4200 is 100 times
42. Now the number 42 speaks of the Appearing of Yahushua in his saints,
and of resurrection life, and 100 speaks of the glory of Messiah-in-you
to accomplish the task. The 4200 clearly speaks of Resurrection life.
The SignpostImmediately adjacent and across the
street there is another business on Bakerview Road named "The
Signpost." This business is on the second or third lot from
Irongate Road, and as soon as I saw the name of this I saw in a flash
what Yahuweh had done. This business, along with the other
businesses and streets in this neighborhood, formed one great "Sign
Post" to confirm something. I needed to find out what it
was supposed to be confirming.
I then began to investigate
further. As I looked online at the web site for the Signpost,
I saw something very revealing. That business had been
started many years before, by a Mr. Moon. He had named his
business "Moon Signs" (See Reference). That name told me exactly what Yahuweh
was confirming in this Geographic layout. The moon in
Scripture is the prophetic picture of
the Bride. Yahuweh was revealing a confirming scenario, that included the Bride, the Iron Gate,
the Firstborn/ Firstfruit resurrection, and the
Father's Throne.
As I looked further, here is more of what I discovered. Running north-south between
Sunset Drive and Bakerview Road, there is a connecting road named
Hannegan Road. The Hebrew name of this road is "Ha Nagan" and means
"the players on instruments," and we are told that these players will
follow (come after) the singers in order of progression. Hannegan Road speaks of
the Virgins' companions, seen in Psalms 68:25 and Psalms 45.
The Plan of Salvation in the Street Layout Hannegan
Road itself portrays the plan of salvation. First the road
descends to a low spot near the creek bed. In Scriptures, the River
"Jordan"- Hebrew 'yardan' - means "descender," and speaks of identifying
with Death in waters of Baptism. At the bottom of the deepest part of
the Depression, there is a side street named "Division," all of which
prophetically speaks of baptism - of death, burial, Resurrection, and
our "division" from the world. This geographical arrangement portrays exactly
what happens when one descends to the depths of waters of baptism!
Immediately
beyond Division Street there is a business named "Alliance," again
picturing what happens immediately before we come up out of the waters
of Baptism - we are "identified" with Messiah as we come into alliance
with Him, as we begin to ascend in newness of life. Hannegan
Road then ascends to a high ridge, where is a development called "Stone
Ridge." This name speaks of Peter (a stone) and the resurrection
scenario in Acts Chapter 12. From here the road continues upward to
Bakerview, or "in view of the Firstfruit/ Firstborn/ First
resurrection."
Bakerview
"spur" is another street off Bakerview Road. Its name implies
division, in that there are two roads carrying the name Bakerview -
meaning "in view of the Bakar/ Firstfruit/ First
resurrection." Elisha was "divided" from Elijah - but he was
in full view of Elijah's resurrection.
The
central focus in all the geographical signs is Mt. Baker, which gives
meaning and focus to the entire geographical layout. Like pieces
of a great puzzle, all the signs taken together reveal a vivid picture
of the Bride Firstfruit resurrection scenario.
This
is only one, of perhaps many, geographical signs in the earth.
We do not fully understand the purpose of these signs. We
do, however, see that these signs in the earth bear Testimony
in the Earth, and they may be simply a "Signpost" and confirming
testimony of the Scriptural Truths of the First Resurrection of the
Bride Company. The corresponding Testimony in the Heavens likewise
bears witness to these same Scriptural Truths. Like any sign, it merely tells us how close we are to our destination.
