14 Related to Time

by Carol - 8/07/12 1:15 PM

In my life the number 14 has always been associated with time, time warps, and the culmination of effort. I was born on 4-14-71 - exactly on time, according to the Doctor and certainly the culmination of effort for my parents. I found my life's ambition (to be a positive/Christian influence in Hollywood) at the age of 14 and pursued it. I auditioned for Back to the Future 3 on my 18th birthday and was hired (background). I later worked at a retro A&W drive-in as a rollerskating carhop located at 1404 G street....corner of 14th & G in Modesto....for four years. I was also featured in a TV ad for them which was shot on 4/14/91. I went to college and afterwards landed a job at 1401 Flower St. where I helped the design team for the Tokyo Disneysea themepark - most of which is set in the 1910 era. I recently discovered that there are 1440 minutes in a day. I recently videotaped a cross-country runner's arrival in Santa Monica - he chose it because it was the end of Santa Monica Blvd. but I noticed that the address... more...

a. Nescience/Faith - Inspiration vs Trauma
b. Accountability [14 letter word] - Involvement vs Blame
c. Responsibility [14 letter word] - Independence vs Shame
d. Venerability - Honor vs Guilt

More to dwell on

by Michael Ray Vaughn Jr - 4/16/17 9:14 PM

The number 14 is 50 times in the bible. You said the marriage of Sara was fourteen days. The name Sara with both other varieties sarai and sarah appears 50 time. The name of god Jehovah or Yahweh which came after the name EL is the numerical value of 15 in Hebrew YHWH. The angel of the Lord who faced balaam and his talking donkey said Thy way is perverse to my or Your-way is perverse to me. Flag day for the American flag is June 14th which falls on the Hebrew month Sivan pronounced seven. When the angel of Death killed the first born males of Egypt child in Hebrew is pronounced Ha-Yelled which spelled in English puts the fear of the Lord into people because If God said kill them: Man, Woman, and Child In the language God taught Moses child is pronounced Ha-Yelled. Luckily the angel Gideon saw traveled time because he struck a match to start a fire before the match was invented. Because now the Bibles says in the New International Readers Version. A first born male can be bought back for 2 ounces of silver. Numbers 18:16 When they are a month old, you must buy them back. You must pay the price to buy them back. The price is set at two ounces of silver. It must be weighed out according to the standard weights used in the sacred tent.

I opened a business 3 yrs ago and could never find the right place to sell it was all horrible people or the town was terrible only one place was good but it was too far from my home so I had to move again to my last location a month later because we had a great flood of 100 yr history. I lost a lot of my inventory and couldn't sell the rest of it I have a storage unit filled with everything to fill a home But can't sell it . I cried my eyes out for months abs finally closed my business the day I moved out I had a mental breakdown. I was listening to kjan a Christian.

Everything came pouring out she prayed over me. And told me I can't sell my things because God had it hidden from the world and that it was ment for something else the she told me about the flood I told her I was in it she didn't know that she said a... more...

Weird

by Anonymous - 9/19/14 11:41 AM

I was born on the 14th of June 1997 which was the same day that my fathers mother died, but she died in 1991. I was 5 weeks pre-mature as well so it really wasn't time for me to come out. Ive always held this number close to me, but lately i keep seeing it in my everyday activities, like checking the time, homework, just lots of different small things. Its also the 14th year which makes this interesting. My grandfather (my dads mother's husband) was born on November 14th and my dad's brother on July 14th. My best friend was born on February 14th. I wonder how much further i could go with this number.

14 days respite given

by Edwin - 11/27/15 3:37 PM

A massive Tsnami was prophecied against my city by 4 visions I received quite some years ago,which concurred with Jer 23:38,39 when hearing ignorant leader utterances inferring burden . I interceded earnestly,effectually and received this Word on awaking 2/7/2014 . " * I * will give 14 days respite Ed." 3 People have spontaneously approached me with Tsunami dreams effecting my city as well as a number of visiting speakers warning words.The most recent,7:30 this morning.28 Nov 2015 14 could mean Charitable response.
