The Eleventh Hour

By Dennis C. Floridia

A compelling outline of irrefutable examples, taken from the Holy Bible furnishing proof of a super-natural numbering system, which confirms God as the sole author.

Miracles can come in many ways. The Eleventh Hour is one such example. God turned a personnel tragedy into the impetus to discover a modern day unfolding of an unknown numbering system in the Holy Scriptures, seemingly unnoticed for centuries. Within these pages you will find absolute proof that will end all debates concerning the authenticity of the Bible.

Clear evidence will be presented that will support these claims. If you carefully follow these numbers and the truths they represent, they will solidify the message. After embarking on this fascinating path, the historical and prophetic implications of these numerals and their locations should challenge all to come to a realization and some genuine soul searching. Some of the topics discussed, having great significance are;

The harmony of the individual writers of each book. Proof of the Bibles infallibility. Israels place in history past present and future. Jesus Christs Messianic fulfillment through the linage of King David. Gods Sovereign hand over His creation throughout history. Prophetic witness as it relates to current world events.

Everyone should be able to determine conclusively that these writings are not some cleverly devised fairy tale or folklore from the Middle Ages, as some insinuate. It is the unadulterated word of Almighty God.

Appendix

I’m persuaded that The Eleventh Hour is convincing enough to change the lives of those who may still be sitting on the fence of doubt. These writings are dedicated to my wife, Donna; my children, Dennis, Ryan, Amber, and Natalie; and to Faith Floridia, who is in a better place. My gratitude goes out to all our friends and family for all their support. Last, but not least, this book is dedicated to all of you who will take a leap of faith and jump off that fence. The highest honor belongs to our King of Kings, the Word made flesh.

Preface

In an attempt to find an explanation for the things we don’t understand, we could possibly end up in a place of frustration and confusion. It is normal to ask why certain events occur in our lives. God is a loving Father, and we know that nothing can come to us, without being filtered through His almighty hands. His ways are not our ways, and He doesn’t make mistakes. During a period of prayer and fasting in early 2005, I heard Jesus speak to me in a dream, and He firmly commissioned me to shoulder this vision. The Lord began to enlighten my understanding as I gave myself to research and study.

For many years I had wondered about the significance of certain dates and numbers. It appeared to be more than just coincidence. In November of 2005 while reading the Bible, I came across some numbers that had great significance to me personally. I was quite curious and wondered if there was a deeper meaning behind them. Over a period of time, I recognized an obvious correlation linking these numbers to the statement in the text itself. I know now that flesh and blood didn’t reveal this to me. Convinced that what I had discovered was actually part of an elaborate system of numbering, I began my search to confirm it. While some of the facts mentioned would be obvious common knowledge, I clearly began to find hidden secrets.

While the numbers and people are significant, it’s the revealed truth that God wants to amplify. It’s not a new doctrine or a new interpretation of truth. In my opinion, it provides new and current evidence to support the authenticity and accuracy of the written Word. This will open new and effective doors of opportunity. Please note that this is not a study in numerology as much as it is a confirmation and a witness to the alignment of truth as presented in the Bible.

God is a God of order, and in His universe He has set fixed patterns and laws—that is, a particular order in nature, space, physics, time, and genealogy, just to mention a few. On these pages, with God’s help, I will share with you how He placed certain chapter and verse numbers strategically within His Bible. These numbers often correspond exactly to what He is saying in that chapter or verse, providing clear evidence that God alone is the author of the Bible. There is no possible way that the Bible’s many writers’—people who lived over a span of approximately 1,500 years and did not know one another—could create this pattern with such amazing accuracy.

I believe there could be other patterns as well. I’ve only devoted myself to this particular study because of personal relevance, which led me in this direction and set the course for discovery. You will see in chapter one why these numbers have a special meaning to me. Now, that doesn’t mean that the presence—or absence—of these numbers denotes favoritism on God’s part. The focus is on God’s sovereign use of numbers as they pertain to all existence. I believe God has used them in my life in order for me to complete a special assignment.

Introduction

The Eleventh Hour is a compilation of examples taken from the New American Standard Bible. Many scholars believe this version to be the closest interpretation to the original manuscripts.

Starting with creation in the book of Genesis, I begin to outline a specific numbering pattern revolving around the numbers 11, 28, 33, and 39. Why 33? It is a multiple of 11. Why 39? It is the sum of 11 and 28, our primary numbers in this study. As this pattern unfolds, it clearly identifies God’s deliberate usage of these numbers.

I believe other such patterns are present, but I will only reveal how this study relates to paramount truths within the text. This includes actual word counts, which also support the evidence that certain facts are linked together to reveal God’s plan and purposes.

These four numbers are found in very strategic areas, placed there by God, of course. Take the beginning scenario of Jacob’s ladder found in Genesis 28:11, a milestone for the faith. Four chapters later, we find Jacob wrestling with an angel. This is the first time we see the word Israel in the Bible. And he said, ‘Your name shall no longer be Jacob, but Israel; (Genesis 32:28). The manner in which these infamous events are sited along with the importance of Israel’s place in History, perhaps this book is in sync with recent headlines’.

Let me explain. With the recent passing of the former prime minister of Israel Ariel Sharon, we see a common thread of facts surrounding his life and the established supernatural pattern that God uses in Genesis 32:28 and throughout His Word. Coupled with historical significance that will impact us all, we must take these facts to heart. Ariel Sharon was born in 1928, and he passed on January 11, 2014. He was the eleventh prime minister of Israel. He served for years as a military leader and was instrumental in the war of independence in 1948 and in the six-day war in 1967. He was eleven in 1939. Twenty-eight years later he was thirty-nine, in 1967.

To bring further clarity, one must look at the life of the late venerated prophet Yitzhak Kadouri. He predicted that the Messiah would not come until after the death of Ariel Sharon. It was reported that Kadouri left a handwritten note stating that he had met with the Jewish Messiah, who was coming soon. He left instructions for his letter to be read a year after his death—a letter that would announce the name of the Jewish Messiah. Kadouri’s letter revealed that the Messiah was Yehoshua. Yehoshua is the Hebrew version of Joshua or Jesus. Rabbi Yitzhak Kadouri passed away on January 28, 2006.

These events will become even more cohesive in the last chapter, which delves into Israel and the last-day predictions of Christ. To arouse your curiosity and give credence to the start of this study, I would like to offer a diverse list of interesting people, places, dates, and events that will lay the groundwork and invite serious attention to the intricate details you are about to discover.

Here are some examples of interesting facts that contain the numbers 11 and 28:
