Hi guys....

Check out Firefighters For Christ --

http://www.firefighters4christ.org

Excellent resource for cassette tapes,
audio and video files. Over 325 audio
messages available.

Mission Statement:

FIREFIGHTERS FOR CHRIST tape library is a ministry solely
dependent upon the grace of our Lord for support and direction.
Its purpose is to distribute God's word in the form of personal
testimonies and Bible study teaching cassette tapes.

For "the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the
simple," Psalms 19:7. Jesus said, "It is written in the
prophets, and they shall all be taught of God. Every man,
therefore, that has heard and has learned of the Father, cometh
unto me." John 6:45.

If you have a need for any of the tapes in our catalog simply
ask and you shall receive...

We will send them to you free of charge, to use as the Lord
leads. "Ho everyone that thirsteth, come to the waters, and he
that hath no money; come, buy and eat; yea come buy wine and
milk without money and without price." Isaiah 55:1.

"Finally brethren pray for us, that the word of the Lord may
have free course and be glorified, even as it is with you." 2
Thessalonians 3:1

As a firefighter there is nothing more rewarding than a
successful lifesaving attempt. EXCEPT - the experience of
telling a person how his life can be saved forever through Jesus
Christ (John 3:16) and seeing him receive Christ and become part
of God's family (John 3:3 and 1:12).

Jesus said there is only one way to God and that way is through
Him (John 14-6). God's word says that if you have Jesus, you
have life. If you do not have Jesus, you do not have life (I
John 5:12). You can receive Jesus right now through prayer
(Revelation 3:20 and Romans 10:9-10).

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I believe that you died on the cross for my
sins, that you were buried, but arose from the grave as Your
Word says (I Corinthians 15:3-4). I ask you now to come into my
heart and life and forgive me for my sins, as you promised in
Your Word (I John 1:9). Help me to follow You and live according
to the plan that You have for my life. Thank You, Lord, that You
are now living within my heart. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Subject: [BPR] - King Abdullah
From: bpr-list@philologos.org(BPR)

From: "Moza" <moza7@netzero.net>

"Stone-faced, he swore an oath and became Jordan's fourth king."

Dan 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are
come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark
sentences, shall *stand up*. Photo and article:

http://washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/inatl/daily/feb99/jordan8.htm

***

Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number
of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred
threescore [and] six.

Abdullah "stood up" at the age of 37, when the stern-faced photo was taken.
In the OT, kings are described by the ages in which they began to reign.
Someone mentioned to me recently, that Allah in Hebrew gematria is 37 (I
don't pay much mind to gematria, but it was an interesting coincidence, if it
is correct).

Abdullah means "servant of Allah". Whoever serves Allah takes his name,
because that is his name, servant of Allah.

Exd 23:33 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against
me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.

From the Qur'an (Jesus, Isa, speaking as a baby):

[19.30] He said: Surely I am a servant of Allah; He has given me the Book
and made me a prophet;

***

The Hebrew for servant or serve is from the root abd (abad, abed). You can
see the same reflected in the Arabic, abd + Allah.

Allah has 99 names. That would be the number of his name. The word for
number in the NT, arithmos, is used 18 times. It is consistently used to
describe a sum total (e.g. the number of horsemen, 200 million)

http://www.al-islam.org/allah/names/6.html

Hussein and Abdullah raced cars, the number of which being represented on
the jersey: 99. Photo here:

http://www.akhbar.com/article/0,1690,News-12593,00.html

The photo was from the Pan Arab games last summer in Amman. The
caption was something like, "King Abdullah cheers Jordan on to victory, in
the Pan-Arab games".

The trinity of sixes is not necessarily six hundred and sixty six, but 3
sixes, just like WWW is 3 Hebrew letters, each with a numeric value of 6
(total of 18).

Chai

"This symbol, commonly seen on necklaces and other jewelry and
ornaments, is simply the Hebrew word Chai (living), with the two Hebrew
letters Chet and Yod attached to each other. Some say it refers to the Living
G-d. Judaism as a religion is very focused on life, and the word chai has
great significance. The typical Jewish toast is l'chayim (to life). Gifts to
charity are routinely given in multiples of 18 (the numeric value of the word
Chai)."

http://www.jewfaq.org/signs.htm

"Because of this system of assigning numerical values to letters, every word
has a numerical value. There is an entire discipline of Jewish mysticism
known as Gematria that is entirely devoted to finding hidden meanings in the
numerical values of words. For example, the number 18 is very significant,
because it is the numerical value of the word Chai, meaning life. Donations to
Jewish charities are routinely made in denominations of 18 for that reason. "

"I recently received an email pointing out that the numerical value of Vav
(often transliterated as W) is 6, and therefore WWW has the numerical value
of 666! It's an amusing notion, but Hebrew numbers just don't work that way.
The numerical value of Vav-Vav-Vav in Hebrew would be 6+6+6=18, so
WWW is equivalent to life! (It is also worth noting that the significance of the
number 666 is a part of Christian numerology, and has no basis that I know
of in Jewish thought). "

http://www.jewfaq.org/alephbet.htm

Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast (37): for it
is the number of a man (6 + 6 + 6); and his number [is] Six hundred
threescore [and] six.

37 x 18 = 666

37 is found at Jeremiah 52:31 and 2 Kings 25:27. Also, Joseph interpreted
Pharoah's dream at age 30, predicting 7 years of plenty followed by 7 years of
famine. Thus, the years of plenty ended and the famine began when Joseph
was 37.

Gen 41:46 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh
king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went
throughout all the land of Egypt.

FWIW, all "triples" are multiples of 37, since 37 x 3 = 111

Best Regards, D
