And I heard another voice out of heaven say: ?Get out of her, my people, if
YOU
do not want to share with her in her sins, and if
YOU
do not want to receive part of her plagues.
5
For her sins have massed together clear up to heaven, and God has called her acts of injustice to mind.

Render to her even as she herself rendered, and do to her twice as much, yes, twice the number of the things she did; in the cup in which she put a mixture put twice as much of the mixture for her.

To the extent that she glorified herself and lived in shameless luxury, to that extent give her torment and mourning. For in her heart she keeps saying, ?I sit a queen, and I am no widow, and I shall never see mourning.?
These verses in Revelations, chapters 18 have a very important message hidden within. New York is an area noted for gambling (Atlantic City etc.), and appropriately, a clue is given in the following verse.
The bible refers to a Queen of Hearts face up with six additional cards dealt face down.

The value of a Queen of Hearts showing is equivalent to the number ten (10). She is then dealt six (6) additional cards shown in the verses below. We will calculate the numbers in the order that they are given.
Render to her even as she herself rendered: (1 card at face value of 10). And do to her twice as much, yes twice the number of the things she did: (2 cards at face value of 20) in the cup in which she put a mixture put twice as much of the mixture for her: (mixture of the first (10), second (10) & third (10) card x 2, is the face value of 60).
This results in the numbers 10, 10, 20 & 60. These numbers must be periods of time. This is made more apparent by the following verses, which reference days and hours.
8 That is why in one day her plagues will come, death and mourning and famine, and she will be completely burned with fire, because Jehovah God, who judged her, is strong.10 while they stand at a distance because of their fear of her torment and say, ?Too bad, too bad, you great city, Babylon you strong city, because in one hour your judgment has arrived!?17 because in one hour such great riches have been devastated!? 19 And they threw dust upon their heads and cried out, weeping and mourning, and said, ?Too bad, too bad?the great city, in which all those having boats at sea became rich by reason of her costliness, because in one hour she has been devastated!?
If we enter these numbers into a time calculator as months, days, hours, and minutes, we come up with a date of: October 10, 20:60:00 If we add the additional day, and three hours that is mentioned in the scriptures that follow as 27 hours, we come up with October 10, 47:60:00
However, if we calculate the 1-day as 24 days, and add the three hours, we come up with the date October 31, 23:60:00, or November 1 st . This does not take into account the year.
While I was performing the calculations I stumbled onto an interesting calculation. Here it is:
Time calculation
From: Saturday, January 1, 2000 00:00:00
to: Thursday, November 11, 2004 00:00:00
It is 1776 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes and 0 seconds between those dates
I have looked at November 1 st as an important date for a significant occurrence. For the sake of everyone, I hope that I am one year off, and everything occurs in the year 2005. November 11 th seems like a more logical date for me, and I also hope that we would have 11 more days to see if my calculations are correct.
In any event I believe that I have shown that the bible is the word of God, and that He does provide us with a warning. It is difficult to understand, especially on the first attempt. If anyone can lend some assistance in interpreting what I have attempted, your help will be more than welcome???..have a great day, and don?t forget your daily prayers.
