The number "14000.41" is a peculiar number, since it reads the same forwards and backwards (without considering the decimal point, of course). Besides being a symmetrical number, it is a very "clear" number, with 3 zeroes in the middle. The Lord allowed this record number to be this symmetrical and clear in order to reveal a spiritual message, a message that believers such as the visitor who sent this question were keen to pick up on.

The number "14000.41" is a direct, prophetic sign from the Lord that points to the number "1441". As we have said before, the number "1441" speaks of how America's spiritual half-heartedness in 2005 tilted the scales in favour of the Amorite giants in their confrontation against God's "unmanifested" ("14") remnant, thus preventing the remnant's manifestation and the start of America's latter-rain revival. Therefore, in the midst of America's "financial success", God has inserted a silent indictment against her, for she forsook God's gold (His glory), leaving it exposed for satan to pounce on, and went after the gold that was pleasant to the soul.

Gold count

Due to the visitor's question, I became puzzled over why the Lord had allowed this stock market record to happen precisely on July 19, 2007. The Lord then prompted me to do a search for the date "July 19" amongst the posted words. I was surprised when I found out that we had posted a word titled "Tarnished gold (Part 2)" on July 19, 2007, precisely the same day that the 14000.41 record was set. The fact that the post's title included the word "gold" drew my attention, since "gold" is related to the concept of "riches". I then said to myself, "Well, that is interesting, but we had already posted a word titled 'Tarnished gold (Part 1)' on June 30. Why was the record set when we posted Part 2 on July 19?" The Lord then said to me, "Look at the number of times the word 'gold' appears throughout the posted words".

Upon searching for the word "gold", I found out that it appears 154 (= 14 x 11) times prior to this post (including only the pages that are articles or words proper and excluding the pages that serve simply to list other posts). Those 154 appearances are spread out over 64 (= 8 x 8) different posts; interestingly enough, the word "gold" does not appear at all in the other 180 (= 18 x 10) articles or words we have posted. Amongst the 64 posts where "gold" does appear, it appears only once or twice in 50 of them, appearing 3 or more times in 14 posts only. In those 14 posts, the word "gold" appears 86 (= 2 x 43) times, meaning that those 14 posts account for more than half of all the appearances of gold throughout the site's 244 posts. What drew my attention even more was the fact that the word "gold" appears 21 times in the "Tarnished gold (Part 2)" post, more than in any other post; the 2 posts that come the closest have 7 appearances of "gold" each (for a combined total of 14). This means that the Lord prompted us to write the word "gold" with an uncanny frequency in the prophetic word posted on the very day that the 14000.41 Dow Jones record was set, more than in any other article or word we had ever posted before. On average, we had written the word "gold" less than once per post, and, amongst the posts that did include the word "gold", we had written it less than 2.5 times per post. This was amazing to me, considering how lengthy our posts tend to be (on average, our articles and words are around 10 A4-pages long).

From the numbers above, we can conclude that, as America's Wall Street was about to set a new record, the Lord was declaring in the spirit realm that America's shining gold was tarnished in His eyes. When it came time to judge how America would treat His "unmanifested" remnant (154 = 14 times 11), she failed because she rejected the deep regeneration anointing (64 = 8 x 8) that God's green-horse terminators came with. Because she rejected God's true gold, America exposed herself to unnecessary suffering, a suffering she could have averted had she been willing to pay her spiritual tithe unto God (180 = 18 x 10 ). Instead of a blessings-driven revival, God offered America a righteousness-driven revival, a revival that did not emphasise temporal gold, but, rather, utter surrender unto Him (50). America, however, rejected this revival, forcing God to shift His focus towards Europe (180 = 18 x 10 --> 18 October) as He dealt with America's stubbornness during the meantime. The revival project that God began in Latin America in '86 (= 2 x 43) came to an irremediable Laodicea halt in 2003, and the revival project that God began in America in 2004 came to a somewhat similar halt because America ended up sharing in Latin America's contamination; America's halt, however, is temporary, but it is still a costly delay that has led to a period of "21" silence during which the prophetic remnant continue their breakthrough intercession from inside their "bubbles of refuge", a judgement-laden intercession that is forging an angelic visitation upon the Earth. This is the "reconstructive revival" referred to in Amos 9:14 and Isaiah 61:4 (224 = 61 x 4), a revival spawned by the vindictive vengeance of Isaiah 61:2 and Amos 9:9-10.

As I was considering what this section's title should be, the Lord spoke the words "Gold count" into my heart. The words had a strange "ring" to them, as if they stood for something I was not quite aware of. Because of this, I did a search of the phrase "gold count" on the Internet, and I came across an official title in ancient Rome's government system, the title of "Comes Auri", which literally means "Gold count" in Latin. As I did a search for the Latin phrase "comes auri", the Lord directed my attention to a brief article posted on forumancientcoins.com, which mentioned the fact that the Roman official with the title of "Comes Auri" was the one responsible for supervising the Imperial gold supplies in the western provinces of the Empire. The article then goes on to speak of Flavius Honorius, a Roman emperor who allowed himself to be deceived into killing Stilicho, a man who had actually helped protect him from barbarian attacks and internal dissent. A corrupt official named Olympias convinced Honorius into thinking that Stilicho, a half-German, was about to murder him in order to place his son on the emperor's throne. This lying scheme was devised by those within Rome who were against the use of Germanic barbarian troops within the Roman army. This fear of foreigners led to the (Hivite) scheme that ended Stilicho's life on August 22, 408, when he was enticed out of sanctuary in a Ravenna church and beheaded. As indicated on wikipedia.org, the death of Stilicho was followed by a witch-hunt-style murder of 30,000 barbarian soldiers and their families, all in an effort to "purge" the Roman army of its German influence. This massacre drew the wrath of the Visigoths (an East Germanic tribe), who launched a decisive attack against Rome, leading to the Visigoth sacking of Rome in the year 410. Interestingly enough, in 410, the distant province of Britannia requested Honorius's help against local barbarian incursions. Since Honorius had his hands full with the Visigoths, he told the British to "defend themselves as best they could". As indicated on wikipedia.org, Honorius's reign saw a deep erosion of the Western Roman empire, and, by the time his reign was over, the Roman empire was on the verge of collapse; Honorius's misguided decision to allow the murder of Stilicho was one of the key events which led to this point of collapse and to the beginning of the transition of western Europe from Roman to Teuton control.

All of the above correlates with how America (i.e.- "Honorius") allowed the Korah spirit to deceive her into forsaking the remnant (i.e.- "Stilicho"), allowing them to be "murdered" by Korah. "Stilicho" was a friend to Honorius, not a foe, for though he spoke a foreign language, a language that sounded "harsh" and "intolerant", it was a language intended to bring true blessing and resurrection life. Yet, "Honorius" chose to believe Korah, and, in allowing "Stilicho" to be murdered by those who feared the "stranger" voice (of the Spirit), he unleashed the wrath that led to the Roman empire's eventual collapse. When he told the British to defend themselves as best they could, it was a prophetic figure of how the American Church left those with the remnant anointing "out in the cold", telling them to fend for themselves, without supplying them with the necessary covering of earthly and emotional resources; this remnant had a "British" anointing of apostolic judgements and justice on them, and, as the American Church denied them a "green bay of refuge", they were spiritually stowed away in Britannia.

Lucaria

Interestingly enough, July 19 (the date when the 14000.41 record was set) was the date of a Roman festival known as "Lucaria". According to wikipedia.org, Lucaria was a feast solemnised in the woods in remembrance of the time when the Romans, defeated and pursued by the Gauls, retired and hid themselves in the woods. This is a figure of how God's green-horse remnant was defeated in America and was forced into a period of "hibernation". The Gauls may have won the battle, but the Romans eventually won the war. In the same way, Korah may have won the battle, but God's green-horse army shall win the war.

According to musesrealm.net, "Lucaria" and "Lacuria" (celebrated on July 19 and 21 respectively) were the "Feasts of Clearings". Their names in Latin are derived from the Latin word lucus, which, according to wikiquote.org and infoplease.com, means "dark grove", and is ironically derived from the word luce meaning "light". This is a figure of how those who are willing to go through the deepest of darkness are in fact the ones who bring the greatest light into the world. As green-horse riders hide in their "dark caves", they are completing the spiritual work that will unleash the greatest revival in the history of mankind.

During Lucaria and Lacuria, Roman farmers would say a prayer and then clear the land so as to use it in the next growing season. "Clearing" speaks of laying something "bare", and, thus, it points to how green-horse riders wilfully bare themselves in vulnerability so as to draw the attack of "unknowingly-bare" Korah. In their dark and lonely bareness, they unleash 5th-seal prayer that opens the way for God's bright manifestation in the latter days.

Frogs

Whilst searching for the date "July 19" amongst this site's posts, I also noticed that the Lord had us post the word "Frogs in the Church" on July 19, 2005, exactly 2 years before the 14000.41 Dow Jones record was set. In that post, the Lord had us write about fat frogs, which are a figure of the "Fatman" ministers who try to sit on their "toilet thrones" in order to indulge in the pleasure of their riches. Therefore, as Wall Street rejoiced in its "record success", God was launching a silent spiritual indictment against it, condemning the "Charlesian" spirit of ministerial elitism in America that hindered His manifestation.

2 coins to spawn a third

July 19, 2007 was Day #200 of the year (it was also Day #200 in 2005). There is prophetic significance to this, for it points to the following passage:

"³⁰And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. ³¹And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. ³²And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. ³³But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, ³⁴And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. ³⁵And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. ³⁶Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? ³⁷And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise." (Luke 10:30-37)

Notice how the Samaritan left two coins with the innkeeper to care for the stranger for a season until he "came again". The word "pence" in verse 35 was translated from the Greek word denarion, which refers to a Roman coin that was roughly equivalent to one day's wages. The Samaritan did not think it a "certainty" that the 2 denarii would be enough to cover all the costs that might be incurred, meaning that he was ready to make a "third" payment. According to 1 Thessalonians 5:23, we are made up of 3 components: body, soul, and spirit. Therefore, the 2 denarii speak of provision for the body and the soul, whilst the "third payment" speaks of provision for the spirit. In this parable, the innkeeper represents the people in the Body of Christ (most of whom being within the current "ministerial system") who have been commissioned to care and provide for His remnant. God has already supplied them with the "two denarii" to provide for the remnant's material (i.e. body) and emotional (i.e. soul) needs. The "innkeeper" is to provide a temporary covering under which the remnant will have the material resources they need and under which their souls will be free from external torments so as to carry out their spiritual work unhindered. Thus, the "innkeeper" is to provide "sure tabernacles" and "quiet resting places" for the remnant (Isaiah 32:18-19). The American "innkeeper", however, has hoarded the two coins given to him and has kept them for himself, leaving the remnant out in the cold, enveloped in a cloud of uncertainty and walking in perennial unrest. He was called to hospitably take in a "stranger" (just as innkeepers do in literal inns), but he refused. He thought that the 2 denarii were for him, simply because they were in his temporal possession, and he relished in his "prosperity", without understanding that his prosperity was intended to bless someone else:

"¹⁷Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; ¹⁸That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; ¹⁹Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life." (1 Timothy 6:17-19)

[The word "communicate" at the end of verse 18 is a mistranslation of the Greek word koinonikos, which comes from the word koinos meaning "common" and has the connotation of "soul communion". Thus, the Lord is exhorting those who are rich with regard to the temporal to have a "communistic" attitude towards those riches, having a ready willingness to use those riches to enable the agents of that which is "good" in God's eyes. That is why verse 18 speaks of "good" works.]

The word "denarius" literally means "containing ten". Therefore, the giving of the 2 denarii has a connotation of "tithing" spiritually attached to it. As we have shared before, America failed to give the spiritual tithe in 2005 that would have propelled her into a 7-year period of transforming revival. Had America provided a covering of "sure tabernacles" and "quiet resting places" for those bearing the remnant spirit, America, as a nation, would have turned into a huge "spirit zone" in which the matriarchy of the soul would have been debunked. Instead, it turned into a "war zone", a "civil war zone" that will remain in spiritual stagnation and under spiritual pounding from God until the 4-year delay period is over.

All of the above explains why the New York Dow Jones entered 14,000 territory for the first time ever on a "July 19", the 200th day of the year. The number "200" emphasises the number "2", since it begins with the number "2" and contains 2 zeros. Therefore, the Dow Jones record on "July 19" emphasises the fact that God had given America "2 denarii" of temporal prosperity so that she would take care of His remnant, but America responded by saying "14,000.41", which, as we said above, means,

"We are willing to permanently live with a compromised spiritual state in which the remnant remains relegated and hidden in the spirit realm of the 'thousands' --- unmanifested at '14' --- whilst the '41' Amorite powers-that-be continue to rule the Church, even in a diminished state of 'decimals'. We can have our cake and eat it too!!"

It is no spiritual coincidence that the Grand Central explosion we recently wrote about happened on July 18, 2007, exactly 1 day prior to the Wall Street record of July 19. The explosion at Grand Central, therefore, was God's way of saying,

Do not be deceived by what will happen tomorrow, for as things appear to be full and prospering on the outside, there are issues beneath the surface that reveal that you are empty and poor. There is a big void beneath the surface that you refuse to address, New York, for the glorious visitation that I had for you came and went unnoticed. Since you stayed at '19' and refused to enter into '20', I have '18' suffering in store for you, for 19 is a temporary stop, and those who get stuck there will inevitably slide back to '18'. How I long to fill your void, New York!!! You have unwittingly held me back, however, and My waiting remnant is forced to continue waiting ... and their hunger continues.

During Jesus's days on Earth, two denarii would sustain a person for 2 days. This means that the Samaritan was planning to return on a "3rd day". Therefore, we can say that, had America provided the 2 denarii to care for God's remnant, she would have sown a 3rd-day visitation of the Lord. Had she sown materially and emotionally into the spiritually worthy, she would have sown a spiritual reward that would have transcended back into the material and soul realms. Had she sown into the disguised forms of Jesus, she would have sown into the mystery of God, and she would have become a Jezreel.

"²¹And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth; ²²And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel. ²³And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God." (Hosea 2:21-23)

"²⁶His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: ²⁷Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. ²⁸Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. ²⁹For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. ³⁰And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." (Matthew 25:26-30)

"³⁴Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: ³⁵For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: ³⁶Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. ³⁷Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? ³⁸ When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? ³⁹ Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? ⁴⁰And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." (Matthew 25:34-40)

"⁴¹Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: ⁴²For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: ⁴³I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. ⁴⁴Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? ⁴⁵Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. ⁴⁶And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal." (Matthew 25:41-46)

Instead of sowing the 2 denarii into the spiritually righteous, America poured her material and emotional resources into the unrighteous, shielding and justifying the very people who were (and are) doing her spiritual harm. God wanted to turn New York and America's unmanifested-remnant "14" (= 2 x 7) into a "21" (= 3 x 7) of angelic visitation. Instead, it turned into a "21" of an awkward and gloomy spiritual silence, a silence that is begetting mighty violence in the material and emotional realms.

The House of Meredith

As I meditated on the number 1441, I felt a sudden prompting to find out something significant that may have happened in the year 1441. As a result of this, I came across an article on a documentary aired on Channel 4 in the UK in 2004 that raised questions as to the historical legitimacy of the House of Tudor, whose descendants have been on the throne of England since 1485 (the current queen, Elizabeth II, is a descendant of Owen Tudor). As indicated on wikipedia.org, the whole controversy arose from the time period between July 14 and August 21, 1441, a period during which Richard Plantagenet, 3rd Duke of York, went off to battle at a location several days away from where his wife was stationed. On April 28, 1442, Richard's wife gave birth to Edward IV, meaning that he was conceived somewhere during the time when Richard was absent from his wife. It is not believed that Edward IV was a premature child, since there are no records indicating that, and it was common practice to record the premature birth of any child in the royal family who had a strong claim to the throne, just as was the case with Edward IV. Furthermore, the christening ceremony for Edward IV was a very subdued and private affair held in a small chapel; this contrasted with the christening ceremony for Richard's next son George, which was a lavish ceremony held in a large cathedral, this despite the fact that Edward was the couple's firstborn. This evidence points to the possibility that Edward was not Richard's biological son; it is believed by many that Edward's biological father was an archer named Blaybourne. Some historians do argue that it was logistically possible for Richard to have briefly returned from battle to beget Edward, since military leaders often led their forces from the rear, meaning that he was "closer to home" than the rest of the troops. However, there is no explicit evidence of that, and, even if it were so, that theory would leave the low-key nature of Edward's christening ceremony unexplained. Having said all of the above, it must be noted that Richard never rejected Edward, acknowledging him as his own son.

Whether Edward IV was actually Richard of York's biological son or not, it must be said that the controversy was a spiritual door through which Edward's dynasty was attacked. Even though he survived an uprising that temporarily restored the unpopular king he had deposed (Henry VI ... a weak-willed man of compromise who suffered bouts of insanity), none of Edward IV's descendants were able to rule over England. After his death, his two sons (princes Edward V and Richard) were imprisoned in the Tower of London by Richard III, Edward IV's own brother, who usurped the throne and ruled over England for a brief time. Supporters of Richard III used Edward IV's questionable legitimacy to deny Edward V's right to rule (along with rumours regarding the legitimacy of Edward IV's marriage to the mother of the two princes). Thus, Edward IV was the first member of the House of York to rule over England, and his younger brother Richard III was the last member --- through deceitful cunning. The Yorkist line started and ended there, and no member of the House of York was ever able to peacefully hand the throne down to a descendant.

The story of Edward IV reveals a strong influence of the Amorite spirit within the House of York. As we have said before, the Amorite spirit is closely linked to unrighteous opportunism and to fornication (which is, in essence, a manifestation of unrighteous opportunism). Assuming that the story about Edward IV's illegitimacy is true (which it apparently is), we can see this Amorite influence in how Edward IV's apparent biological father took advantage of Richard of York's wife whilst Richard was away. This man was not so much interested in Richard's wife as a person but was rather interested in deriving some quick pleasure by her. He walked through the door of Amorite opportunity that presented itself before him when Richard went out to battle, just as David did with Uriah the Hittite and his wife (2 Samuel 11). As we have said before, Amorites are related to tallness and strength. Therefore, it is no coincidence that Edward IV was unusually tall for his time, standing at 6 feet 4 inches (around 1.93 m) tall (the House of York was not known as a family of tall people, and Edward IV was significantly taller than Richard). Edward IV's biological father was a tall Amorite, and Edward IV inherited the gritty strength and determination that is common in both evangelists and Amorites (who are evangelists gone bad). We also see elements of Amorite opportunism in Richard III, Edward IV's brother, who took advantage of Edward's death to seize the throne of England, snatching it away from Edward's two sons, who were his own nephews. It was through an Amorite door of opportunity in 1441 that Edward IV was born into the House of York, and it was through the Amorite influence that opened that very door that the House of York collapsed on itself. Thus, the Amorite spirit seized an opportunity that ended up being its very seal of doom. The door was opened through an act of fornication in 1441.

In the story of Edward IV, we see a brief synopsis of the 7 seals of the Apocalypse (Revelation 6:1-8:2). The 1st seal --- the white horse --- is implicitly present in the House of York's symbol, which was a white rose (as indicated on wikipedia.org). The 2nd seal --- the red horse --- is implicitly present shortly before Richard's departure for the battlefield. Even though I have no evidence for it, I am convinced that Richard and his wife must have had a huge argument the evening prior. After Richard (i.e.- the "male" spirit) left, his wife (i.e.- the soul) was so infuriated with him that she became vulnerable to the lures of the archer who had been trying to win her over in the days and weeks prior, and she slept with the archer more out of spite for Richard than out of "love" for the archer. In that sense, she was using the archer to get back at Richard, just as he was using her to derive some temporary pleasure; thus, they were both "fornicating", using each other as means to a personal end. The 3rd seal --- the black horse --- is present in Richard's separation from his wife in order to go to the battlefield, which correlates with how those who heed God's red-horse shout go out to the unpleasant wilderness, separating themselves from stubborn Cain. Once God's red-horse believers leave, the Church that are left behind become vulnerable to the spirit of Balaam, which, as we have said before, is a Hittite-Amorite spirit gone Girgashite. As we said above, the archer who seduced Richard's wife was an Amorite opportunist, and the fact that he was an archer points to the Hittite spirit, since, as we have said before, Hittites are like "snipers" who launch arrows from distant and unseen places; thus the archer was a Hittite-Amorite who used his God-endowed grace for Girgashite, temporal purposes, meaning that the archer was indeed a Balaam.

The 4th seal --- the green horse --- is present in Richard III, who went after the two vulnerable princes after Edward IV died. The two vulnerable princes represent believers under the 2-witness anointing who clothe themselves in vulnerability in order to draw in the attack of Korah. This attack leads to them "dying" and "descending" into Sheol prison, disappearing out of view for a season, just like the 2 witnesses of Revelation 11 (after being imprisoned in the Tower of London, the 2 princes were never seen again). The 5th seal --- the seal of silence --- is present during the reign of Richard III, the time during which the 2 princes remained imprisoned and Richard III brutally suppressed those suspected of supporting Edward V (one of the two princes and the successor to the throne). It is during the 5th seal that those who were sent to Sheol unleash infrasonic yells from prison, crying out for justice to be done as it seems that injustice has prevailed and gone unpunished. The 6th seal --- the seal of vengeance --- is present when Henry Tudor emerges from France and lands in Pembrokeshire, Wales to overthrow Richard III, leading to Richard's death in the Battle of Bosworth Field (as indicated on wikipedia.org). Justice for the crime against the 2 princes was done. According to wikipedia.org, Richard III's naked cadaver was paraded through the streets before being buried in Leicester. It is believed that his burial site may currently be under a car park, which is a poetic figure of how God's 6th-seal judgement comes against those who turn a temporary stopping place (a car park) into a permanent one.

The rise of Henry Tudor to the throne marked the beginning of the Tudor dynasty, a dynasty that lasted 118 years (according to wikipedia.org). It also marked the end of the "Wars of the Roses" between the House of York and the House of Lancaster. Ironically, Henry Tudor was not a biological descendant of either house, at least on his father's side, and his biological connexion to the House of Lancaster on his mother's side was "illegitimate". As indicated on wikipedia.org, his grandfather, Owen Tudor was a Welsh descendant of the famous Welsh king "the Lord of Rhys"; Owen Tudor married Catherine of Valois, widow of Lancastrian king Henry V (who was born in Monmouth, Wales). Therefore, Henry VII was not a "biological member" of the House of Lancaster on his father's side. On the other hand, his mother was the great granddaughter of John of Gaunt (the "founder" of the House of Lancaster) through a mistress he had had whilst married to Constance of Castile, meaning that there was no legitimate line of descent linking Henry Tudor (i.e.- Henry VII) to the House of Lancaster. In fact, his surname, Tudor, was completely unrelated to any of the houses vying for the throne of England. Upon reaching the throne, Henry VII married Elizabeth of York, daughter of Edward IV and sister of the 2 princes imprisoned in the Tower of London; as we said above, there are questions as to Edward IV's biological connexion to the House of York, meaning that his daughter Elizabeth's connexion to the House of York had questions of "legitimacy". Thus, Henry VII's descendants had connexions to both the House of York and the House of Lancaster, but those connexions were tainted by illegitimacy.

{The above paragraph may be more easily understood if you look through the "monarch tree" posted on www.channel4.com}

It was common Welsh practice to take your father's name as your "surname" (which is similar to the Biblical Jewish practice). Owen Tudor's father was Maredudd, whose father was "Tydir" (original form of the Welsh name "Tudor"). Thus, Maredudd's full name was "Maredudd ap Tydir", and Owen's full name was "Owyn ap Maredudd". The Anglicised form of "Maredudd" is "Meredith", meaning that Owen should have been known as "Owen Meredith". For some reason, however, Owen chose to adopt the name of his grandfather, and that is how he came to be known as "Owen Tudor". This means that England's "Tudor dynasty" is really the "Meredith dynasty". I was utterly surprised by this fact, since it served as the final link that certified the connexion between the conception of Edward IV in 1441 and the Wall Street record of 14000.41. As we said before, the explosion near Grand Central Station in New York on July 18, 2007 (the day prior to the 14000.41 record) was spiritually related to the name "Meredith". As we also said before, the name "Meredith" was spiritually related to God's focus shift towards the UK.

The "incident" in 1441 that led to the birth of Edward IV also kick-started the series of events that led to the eventual rise to the throne of the House of Tudor, i.e.- the House of Meredith. The 1441 "incident" also opened the spiritual door for the demise of the short-lived "York dynasty", which survived in a spiritual sense within the House of Tudor, since Henry Tudor married Edward IV's daughter Elizabeth (whether Edward IV was a biological "York" or not is irrelevant in a sense, since Richard of York took him in as his own son and successor, which makes Edward a "York" no matter what). Thus, the "incident" in 1441 led to the death of an Amorite-riddled House of York and to the rise of a new House of York, a house embedded within Meredith. We can therefore say that the 1441 "incident" triggered the rise of a "Meredith New York".

It was during the Tudor dynasty that England began a separation process from catholicism, solidifying England as a Protestant stronghold. The House of Tudor (i.e.- the House of Meredith) ended with the reign of Elizabeth I, who is arguably the greatest monarch England ever had. Under Elizabeth I, England began emerging as an international power, laying the foundation for the future rise of the British Empire.

In short, we can say that the 14,000.41 Wall Street record marks the opening of a spiritual door much like the spiritual door that was opened when Edward IV was conceived in fornication, a door that will lead to the Amorite spirit's prompt demise in America through harsh 6th-seal judgements, for the spirit of the "Old York" shall not stand. The stronghold that has tried to stall the "New York" revival shall be removed, and the manifestation of the "House of Meredith" in America shall come to pass. In the meantime, however, the Lord shall continue to focus His attention on the island of Britannia, the spiritual warehouse where He has stowed away the "Meredith" spirit.

Stunning comeback

Last week, on October 7, 2007, as I was in the middle of writing this word, the Lord drew my attention to a story about the "greatest comeback in college football history". To be honest with you, I am not a big follower of college football (university-level American football), so I would have normally ignored this story. However, something about the headline immediately reminded me of something miraculous that the Lord did on November 10, 1984 in a game involving the Maryland Terrapins, so I was drawn to reading the story. That is when I learnt that the Stanford Cardinal had defeated the USC (University of Southern California), which was the No. 2 ranked team in the country prior to that game. What struck me immediately was the fact that Stanford were a 41-point underdog. Both Stanford and USC are members of the Pac-10 conference, and Stanford had been outscored 141-51 in Pac-10 play. Besides that, USC was playing at home at the Los Angeles Coliseum, where they had won 35 games in a row. Interestingly enough, their last loss at the L.A. Coliseum had been to Stanford by a score of 21-16 on September 29, 2001. Stanford's starting quarterback, Tavita Pritchard, was a 2nd-year student filling in for the regular starter, and had only thrown 3 passes before that game. Stanford's head coach is Jim Harbaugh, a born-again Christian who quarterbacked the NFL's Indianapolis Colts in the mid 1990s.

As I read the story (available at www.startribune.com), it became evident that this game, considered by many as the greatest upset in American college football history, was a message from the Lord on what is about to happen now that America has reached the "14000.41" mark. The fact that Stanford were a 41-point underdog represents the remnant's battle against the Amorite "41" giant. The fact that Stanford had been outscored 141-51 in Pac-10 play points to the numbers "14" and "41", which are both hidden in the number "141", and the number "51" (when interpreted in a positive sense) points to the remnant spirit stowed away in the UK (this connexion between the number "51" and the UK has been in my heart since December 2005). The fact that the game was played at the Coliseum points to what the Lord has had us share regarding the L.A. Coliseum and how a spiritual darkness looms over America as a result of the L.A. (Latin American) contamination that America has allowed into her. The fact that USC had won 35 games in a row points to all that we have shared regarding the green horse of the Apocalypse and the number "35", which points to God's vengeance against those who killed His green-horse riders (Isaiah 35:4). Interestingly enough, when the Lord had us write about the number "35", He made us write against a word pronounced by a 21-year pastor from California, which correlates with USC (since the "C" stands for California). The 35 consecutive wins at the Coliseum were sandwiched between two losses to Stanford, the first one being on September 29, 2001. The number "29" in that date points to an earth-shaking event produced by the roar of God's voice, and the fact that that date was 18 days after the 9/11 attack points to a Yusuf-triggered carnage that would have been unnecessary had America aligned herself with God's will. The fact that Jim Harbaugh had his best NFL years with the Indianapolis Colts points to all that we have shared regarding the Colts and Super Bowl 41: the 30 sons of "Jair" are soon to be manifested, for the sacrificial work of Tola is about done.

The fact that Tavita Pritchard was a 2nd-year player who had only thrown 3 passes before the game speaks of a remnant whose spiritual talents remain "unmanifested", conveniently hidden away by a Church uninterested in seeing them manifested. The 3 passes thrown by Pritchard mean that the remnant operate at "level 3", the level of the Spirit, whilst the Church prefers to operate at "level 2", the level of the soul. Coincidentally, according to behindthename.com, the surname "Pritchard" is a Welsh name, and it means "son of Richard", which correlates with everything we have said regarding "Richard of York" and the Tudors from Wales! Our God is indeed an awesome God!

Tavita Pritchard replaced starter T.C. Ostrander for the October 6 game against USC; Ostrander had suffered a seizure in a restaurant on September 30, 2007. The name "Ostrander" is a prophetic reference to "stranders", i.e.- those who "strand others". According to answers.com, one of the meanings of the verb "to strand" is "to be brought into or left in a difficult or helpless position". This is what the American Church did to the remnant, leaving them "out in the cold" when it was time to give them "a room at America's inn". Because of this, God has sent a mighty "seizure", a mighty shaking in the spirit realm to those who acted as "stranders" of His people. This shaking has already been manifested in the spirit realm, and is soon to be manifested in the natural realm. Let him who has ears hear what the Lord is saying. This shaking is necessary in order for the "Stranders" to be waved aside and the "Tavita" remnant to be manifested.

The unusual name "Tavita" is God's coded way of pointing to the word "Talitha" in Mark 5:41. As we have studied before, the Lord spoke the words "Talitha Cumi" to Jairus's daughter, resurrecting her from death. As the work of Tola ends, the harvest of Jair(us) appears, a harvest that implies resurrection, a resurrection that carries with it great shaking and the loosening of many binds. As these binds are broken, the Church shall be freed from the stronghold of the pastoral matriarchy, and an army of Spirit-led (not soul-led) believers shall overtake the Earth's atmosphere, conquering it unto God.

Whilst USC's team is known as "The USC Trojans", Stanford's team is known as "The Stanford Cardinal". There is a prophetic message behind these names. First of all, it is interesting to note that the name of Stanford's team is not "The Stanford Cardinals", and, despite the fact that the word "Cardinal" is not pluralised, it is used by the people at Stanford as if it were plural. Instead of saying, "The Stanford Cardinal is jubilant over their victory", it is usually said, "The Stanford Cardinal are jubilant over their victory". This points to the UK, since it is customary in British English to use a "singular-looking" noun as if it were plural when that noun represents a collection of people, as opposed to American English, where a "singular-looking" noun is grammatically treated as a singular item, even if the noun encapsulates a plurality of people.

As we have said before, the word "cardinals" points to the spirit of religiosity, to the spirit of "ministerial hierarchies" within the institutionalised American Church. The fact, however, that the word "Cardinal" is used in the singular when referring to the Stanford team points to something else. As we have said before, whenever the "revived" American Church gazes across the sea towards the UK and Europe, all she sees is a "spiritually dead" continent, a continent where the little religion available is "stale" and "lifeless". When America compares her religious structures and "vitality" to Europe's, she is clearly "superior", just as the USC Trojans were clearly "superior" to the Stanford Cardinal. However, the lowly "Cardinal" across the ocean from America hides a potential invisible to the American religious mind. And, whilst America rejoices in the religious grandeur of her "cardinals", she is unaware that a Trojan horse is in her midst. In "Gedaliah" naiveté, America has allowed the spiritual infiltration of "Ishmaels", and those Ishmaels are a disaster waiting to happen. It is only fitting that the USC Trojans are from Los Angeles (L.A.), since the spiritual contamination from Latin America (L.A.) was instrumental in the infiltration of a deadly Trojan horse into the "American Troy". God shall not mocked, and that which man sows, that shall he reap. Those who sow deception shall reap deception, deception sent by God Himself against those who loved unrighteousness more than truth, against those who saw their external achievements as more valuable than they really were, against those who failed to realise that the gold in their hands was tarnished gold.

From 21 to 24

July 19, 2007, the day of the "14000.41" Wall Street record, was exactly 14 calendar months after May 19, 2006, which, as we have said before, was a day that marked a "silent warning", a warning of "21" silence for America for stalling in her transition from 7 to 8. That is the spiritual reason why the Stanford Cardinal won 24 to 23 over the USC Trojans. The number 24 equals 8 times 3, meaning that the remnant spirit that has been stowed away in the UK's spirit realm shall forge America's transition from "21" (7 times 3) to "24" (8 times 3), overcoming the "23" pastoral matriarchy that was inhospitable to Him. Just as the L.A. Coliseum crowd was left in a "stunned silence" on October 6, 2007, the enemies who have silenced God's remnant shall be silenced themselves. Just as Stanford silenced the Coliseum crowd by scoring 17 points in the 4th quarter, the enemies of God shall be silenced as the time arrives for the ("17") remnant to be finally manifested.

There are 426 days between May 19, 2006 and July 19, 2007. The number 426 equals 71 times 6, which points to Psalm 71:6:

"⁶By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother’s bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee. ⁷I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge. ⁸Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day. ⁹Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth. ¹⁰For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together, ¹¹Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him. ¹²O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help. ¹³Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt. ¹⁴But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more. ¹⁵My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof. ¹⁶I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. ¹⁷O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. ¹⁸Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come. ¹⁹Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee! ²⁰Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. ²¹Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. ²²I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel. ²³My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. ²⁴My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt." (Psalm 71:6-24)
