The Curious Capture of Gilad Shalit - June 25, 2006

Gilad Shalit is an Israeli Defense Force solider who came into the public conscience shortly after he was abducted on June 25, 2006, during a cross-border raid initiated by Hamas militants near the Kerem Shalom crossing in Israel. Little did anyone know at the time of this young 19-year-old Israeli soldier's abduction just how easily identifiable he would ultimately become around the world.

In all the research I have done, I have yet to find anyone who felt at the time of Shalit's capture that his hostage status or date of abduction would eventually generate a certain capacity of prophetic influence, much less to imply his capture and eventual release, which was doubted by most, would in the end possess any significant value with regard to Biblical prophecy. From what I have seen and read, it appears that for most, any level of observable prophetic worth associated with Gilad Shalit's trial of captivity surfaced quickly after his surprising release and subsequent freedom.

Let no man diminish the testing of this young man, Gilad Shalit, for his test subtly shouts consequence, of this I am sure. The following events I have felt compelled to list, all of which appear to be soundly connected to the curious capture, ensuing test of captivity, and jubilant release of Gilad Shalit.

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that
perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and
honourand glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 1 Peter 1:7

 

The Curious Capture of Gilad Shalit - As Described in Scripture?

Shalit's captivity spanned 1,941 days. When read from right to left, as in Hebrew, the number would be observed as 1491. If this number were converted into a Strong's (Hebrew) number it would be H1491 - gazah, gaw-zaw'; a primitive root (akin to 1468); to cut off, i.e. portion out: - take. I find it of no chance that Shalit was taken, literally cut off from his family, Israel, the Red Cross, and all he knew, to be held in Gaza, a location with the same pronunciation as H1491 gazah.

If 1,941 days were to be converted into weeks the outcome would be 277 weeks with a remainder of two days. So 1,941d = 277w + 2d.  If the same methodology used to convert 1941 into a Strong's (Hebrew) number, taking the number of weeks plus days, the number would be 2772 or H2772 - Choroniy, kho-ro-nee'; partial from 2773, which is partially derived from H2356 - chowr, khore; or (shortened) chor, khore; the same as H2352; a cavity, socket, den: - cave, hole. Here is H2352 - chuwr, khoor; or (shortened) chur, khoor; from an unused root probably meaning to bore; the crevice of a serpent; the cell of a prison: - hole. I find it, too, of no coincidence that Shalit was held captive in a place similar to a cave or prison cell, the crevice of a serpent.

Based on this revelation, the time span of Gilad Shalit's captivity appears to be reflective in the Hebrew words and roots the Strong's Concordance has coded H1491 and H2772. Together, the two create a stunning interpretation of what actually unfolded in Gilad Shalit's life as a result of the cross-border raid initiated by Hamas militants that ultimately placed Shalit in a prison cell, or a hole, a cavity as a hostage somewhere in the Hamas controlled Gaza Strip. 

For some, this connection may be too shaky, so let's continue.

 

The Release of Gilad Shalit - October 18, 2011

On October 18, 2011, at the price of 1,027 Palestinian terrorists imprisoned by the Israeli government for terrorism against the Jewish State of Israel, Gilad Shalit, after 1,941 days (over 5 years) of forced captivity was finally able to come back home. Gilad's release came after Hamas and Israel conducted a controversial prisoner exchange equivalent to 1,027-Palestinian terrorists to 1-Jew.

One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, He it is that fighteth for you,
as He hath promised you. Joshua 23:10

To place the following information into the proper and outright fantastic perspective, I must draw attention to the fact that YHVH's plan was for Gilad Shalit to be released on October 18, 2011, not a day before or a day after.

The following information (in direct relation to Gilad Shalit's capture, period of captivity, and release) only works if he is released on October 18, 2011. The dates simply have no discernable date duration cohesion with one another unless Gilad Shalit is factored in. Once I have submitted the following information, please take a moment to reflect upon the symbolism and glaring prophetic significance of all these events seemingly connected together if the span of time this Israeli soldier endured in captivity is used as the cohesive glue between the following dates.

The Release of Gilad Shalit - 20-year Anniversary of US-led Peace Talks

October 18, 2011, is the 20-year anniversary of the announcement made by US Secretary of State James Baker the III that invited the Israelis and Palestinians to join the US and other nations at the Madrid Peace Conference (October 30 - November 1, 1991). It was October 18, 1991, that the United States of America publicly took the reins and role of mediator (head) over the Israeli / Palestinian "peace talks." This day marks the beginning of the US-led "peace talks" era, an era that has challenged each US President to strive and ultimately fall short of peace in Israel, and an era that began the idea of "land for peace," or better termed "the division of Israel." This era seems to have encapsulated one of (if not the most) tumultuous times in US history with regard to weather, war, terror, and apostasy combined.

The Release of Gilad Shalit -Tish'ah B'Av and the Number 70

October 18, 2011, is also exactly 70-days after August 9, 2011, or more significantly, Tish'ah B'Av, the 9th of Av 5771. Historically speaking, some of the most woeful events in Jewish history have taken place on or around the 9th of Av.

This is what Hebrew for Christians has to say about this date:

Tish'ah B'Av (the "ninth [day] of [the month of] Av") is an annual day of mourning that recalls the many tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people over the centuries, some of which coincidentally(?) have occurred on the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av. In particular, the following tragedies are all said to have occurred on this day:

1. The LORD decreed that the original generation rescued from Egypt would die out in the desert and be deprived from entering the Promised Land because of the Sin of the Spies (Num.13)
2. The destruction of the First Temple (Babylonians, 586 B.C.)
3. The destruction of the Second Temple (Romans, 70 A.D.)
4. In 135 A.D. the Jews rebelled against Roman rule under the false Messiah Simon bar Kochba and were destroyed by Hadrian in the battle at Betar.
5. The Gemara relates that Turnus Rufus, a Roman officer, plowed the area of the Temple under. Rambam (Maimonides) added that all the homes in Jerusalem were likewise ploughed under at the time.
6. The expulsion of the Jews from England in 1290
7. The expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1496

Okay, so the 9th of Av 5771 fell upon August 9, 2011, or 70-days before Gilad Shalit's release, so what?

o If the same number of (70) days that were subtracted from Shalit's release date to the 9th of Av 5771 (August 9, 2011) are converted into years and subtracted from the 9th of Av 5771, it would be the 9th of Av 5701, or August 2, 1941. This is done by 5771 - 70 = 5701 or 2011 - 70 = 1941. The 9th of Av in 1941 comes just days after a letter dated July 31, 1941, (2 days before Tish'ah B'Av) addressed to SS general Reinhard Heydrich, given to him by Reichsmarschall Göring, instructed him to devise "the solution of the Jewish problem." This plan would be later called "The Final Solution" to exterminate the Jews.

o If the same number of days (1,941) that Gilad Shalit was in captivity is converted to years and subtracted from the 9th of Av 5771 (August 9, 2011) it would be the 9th of Av 3830, or August 2, 70 AD. This is the exact Tishah B'Av that the Roman General Titus destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple, forcing the Jews into captivity.

The number 70 is prevalent in the examples given above associated with the captivity of Gilad Shalit.

o 70-days back from his release is 8/9/2011 or Tisha B'Av (9th of Av 5771)
o 70-years back from 2011 is 1941, or the exact number (1,941) of days Shalit was in captivity.
o 70-days back from his release is the 9th of Av, minus 70-years is the 9th of Av in 1941.
o 70 AD (9th of Av 3830) is 1,941 years from the 9th of Av 5771 (August 9, 2011)
