The Number 48

https://www.facebook.com/twtramm

Numbers have meaning in Scripture. The number 4 denotes completion, related to the material world. The number 8 denotes a new beginning. Together, the numbers 4 and 8 express the connection between earthly events and the completion of God’s redemptive plan.
.
It is thus not surprising that new beginnings related to Israel are marked by the number 48:
• The Patriarch of Israel, Abram, was born in 1948 BC.
• The modern State of Israel was born in 1948 AD.
• The numbers 19 and 48 (1948) add up to 67, the year that Jerusalem, Israel’s capital, was restored to the Jews.
.
With the connotation of the numbers 4 and 8, or 48, in view, it is fascinating to consider 10 coincidences around the recent solar eclipse above America:
1. The eclipse occurred on the Gregorian date 4/8.
2. The path of the 4/8 eclipse crossed over the 48 contiguous states of the US, the nation home to nearly half the world’s Jews.
3. The path of the 4/8 eclipse crossed over the only US city named “Jonah.” Jonah is the only book in Scripture comprised of 48 verses.
4. The 4/8 eclipse was the second total solar eclipse above the US in seven years. In Exodus 4:8, God says to Moses: “If they do not believe you or pay attention to the first sign, they may believe the second.”  ((!!!!))
5. The ‘X’ formed by the 4/8 eclipse-path recalls how in Genesis 48, Jacob (Israel) formed an ‘X’ by crossing his arms when he blessed his two grandsons Ephraim and Manasseh (vv. 13, 14). The descendants of Ephraim, one of the scattered tribes of Israel, are thought to reside mainly in the US.
6. Strong’s Greek #48 is the word hagnizó, which means to “cleanse” or “purify.” God says in the last days He will gather Ephraim and the tribes associated with him out of the nations where they have gone, e.g., America, and bring them back to the Land of Israel to be cleansed (Ezek. 37:19, 21–28).
7. Seeing how the 4/8 eclipse portends a Jewish return to the Land, it is significant that Ezekiel 48 describes the land allocation among the tribes of Israel.
8. The 4/8 eclipse is considered a final call from God to come out of spiritual Babylon (Rev. 18:4). In the final verses of Isaiah 48, God calls His people out of Babylon.  ((Backwards, but the same two numbers in it.  !!!))
9. Three days before the 4/8 eclipse, the biggest quake since 1884 hit the New York and tri-state area—a 4.8 on the Richter scale.

Adding to the coincidence:
• 1884 is the year that the Statue of Liberty was formally dedicated to the US, and its foundation cornerstone placed in New York Harbor.
• 1884 is when a comet named “12/P Pons–Brooks” passed by Earth on its 70-year orbit. This is significant because the same comet is passing by Earth in 2024, and was in close proximity to the Sun during the 4/8 eclipse.
10. A final coincidence related to the number 48 is that gold is heated to 1,948 degrees, during the refining process. That 1948 is the melting point of gold is pertinent to our discussion of end-times signs because the Tribulation period they point to is likened to a refining process for Israel: “I will bring the third part [of Israel] through the fire. I will refine them like silver and purify them like gold. They will call on my name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘These are my people,’ and they will say, ‘The LORD is our God’” (Zech. 13:9).
The coincidences noted above, plus many not mentioned, make 2024 a plausible year for the fiery trial to begin.
.
By ‘fiery trial’, Tramm means the Great Wrath.  Except he can’t say that, because he’s a chrischun and therefore still all pre-Tribbin’ over there, and that’s problematic for him.  I’m *NOT* pre-Trib – I believe we’re on the cusp of Revelation 14/15, and are most definitely Pre-Wrath, so it’s not a problem for me, AT ALL.  In fact, it confirms everything I’ve time-lined since 2007 and reaffirms that where I saw we are really IS where we are.
.
But this is amazing stuff.  I’m not saying he’s not a prophet.  I’m just sayin’ his church-learning gets in the way of his delivery of Truth.  God has still chosen to use this man, and I am seriously elated that there’s finally someone out there who 1) affirms what has been revealed to me and 2) assists in my learning.  I’ve been praying for such a person for years and years… since Herb Peters betrayed God/died.  I’ve missed Herb’s affirmations and assistance, and now Tramm… praise the Lord for this quasi-Balaam who is of use to the Kingdom!  ((And yes, that’s about where we are, now.))

Anyhow, I had to share, because all of this was so exciting to me!
