This very well could be the start of "Jacob's Trouble". Remember that yesterday there was an article posted about Israel warning the US of Egyptian troop build up on its border!

And I swear I have seen something in the last 2 weeks that indicated the Iraqi's were performing 'operations' in western Iraq with their 2 million strong army. I will try to find the article if I can. With Egypt cooking on the left, Iraq on the right, and the Syrians to the North, one can imagine why the Israelies are getting an itchy trigger finger.

Do you have a link? As I understand it, we had/have a small presence in the Sinai to make sure the penninsula's demilitarization was maintained as part of the '78 Camp David Accords.

This very well could be the start of "Jacob's Trouble".

When I first read your comment, my initial thought was that 'the beginning' was on 911. Then I got an idea...

I opened my Tanakh program and ran a gematria search for the value "911". It came back with three words. The first one being:

07225 re'shiyth {ray-sheeth'}
from the same as 07218; TWOT - 2097e; n f
AV - beginning 18, firstfruits 11, first 9, chief 8, misc 5; 51

1) first, beginning, best, chief
1a) beginning
1b) first
1c) chief
1d) choice part

As in Gen 1:1, "In the beginning" (bereshiyt). The first/next occurance of the word by itself (no attached preposition as Gen 1:1), is here:

Genesis 10:10 And the beginning (reshiyt) of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

The other words are:

07611 sh@'eriyth {sheh-ay-reeth'}
from 07604; TWOT - 2307b; n f
AV - remnant 44, residue 13, rest 3, remainder 2, escaped 1, misc 3; 66

1) rest, residue, remainder, remnant
1a) rest, what is left
1b) remainder, descendants

And this one, with the article 'the' (ha-tola'at):

08438 towla` {to-law'} and (fem) towle`ah {to-lay-aw'} or
towla`ath {to-lah'-ath}; or tola`ath {to-lah'-ath}

from 03216; TWOT - 2516b; n m

AV - scarlet 34, worm 8, crimson 1; 43

1) worm, scarlet stuff, crimson
1a) worm - the female 'coccus ilicis'
1b) scarlet stuff, crimson, scarlet
1b1) the dye made from the dried body of the female of the
worm "coccus ilicis"
2) worm, maggot
2a) worm, grub
2b) the worm "coccus ilicis"
++++
When the female of the scarlet worm species was ready to give
birth to her young, she would attach her body to the trunk of
a tree, fixing herself so firmly and permanently that she would
never leave again. The eggs deposited beneath her body were
thus protected until the larvae were hatched and able to enter
their own life cycle. As the mother died, the crimson fluid
stained her body and the surrounding wood. From the dead bodies
of such female scarlet worms, the commercial scarlet dyes of
antiquity were extracted.
What a picture this gives of Christ, dying on the tree,
shedding His precious blood that He might "bring many sons unto
glory" (Heb. 2:10)! He died for us, that we might live through
Him!
Ps. 22:6 describes such a worm and gives us this picture of
Christ. (cf. Isa 1:18)
(from page 73, "Biblical Basis for Modern Science", 1985,
Baker Book House, by Henry Morris)

[Note: usually when translated "scarlet", the word tola'at/towlah is paired with "sh'ni". Tola'at alone is generally "worm". However, all occurrances of ha-tola'at (911) are in the scarlet context. Lev 14:6, 51, 52]

FWIW
