2007-01-16: Moses at the Burning Bush
This prophetic date derives from the story of the burning bush, found in the Book of Exodus.
There were at least 3 major parts to the fulfillment of this story. In the sky, and running for several weeks on either side of this date was Comet McNaught. In Washington DC, the United States Capital building was evacuated over a bomb scare. At the same time, the newly sworn in United Nations General Secretary Ban Ki-moon was holding his first formal visit with United States President George Bush.
Detailed timing and associated scripture is presented that the bottom of this article.
Part I: Comet McNaught
Comet McNaught had been discovered in August of 2006. It was a very short time between that discovery and the time when it was visible to the naked eye on earth. This short lead time suggests the scientific community is not particularly able to spot these objects with enough lead time to deflect any found pointed at earth.
Curiously, the comet was discovered at an observatory in the Australian outback, or bush in keeping with the comet's role as the burning bush that would not burn up. It visible at first in the northern hemisphere and then later in the southern hemisphere and like all major comet this was a comet that many people simply had to go see, about like how Moses had to go see the sight of the fire of the burning bush.
The comet reached maximum visibility on January 14, 2006, after having crossed into the southern hemisphere on January 12, 2006. This is 2 days ahead of the theoretical prophetic date, well within tolerance. This maximum brightness belies the unusual feature of this comet, an exceptionally long tail that crossed much of the sky and again became visible from the northern hemisphere.
Many noted how the tail looked like a sword. Many also noted how comets are thought to portend doom...
There is some chance that this comet marks some sort of beginning, it is here at the burning bush story that the Book of Exodus settles down to the narrative of Moses' adult life and this comet marks that time. If this is a beginning, then there is either a 50 year period that starts at this date, in keeping with the original 50 years that the Exodus took in Moses' time. Or, the comet suggests another comet will bracket this time. If so, comet Apophis in 2029, 50 days after the exact 7000th anniversary of Noah's flood is an excellent candidate for the other end of this same time.
Part II: US Capital Building Evacuated
The evening news across the United States was filled with strange sites from the United States capital building. Strange noises had been heard in an area around a dumpster in a parking garage connected to the capital complex. For fear of a terrorist event the building was evacuated as a precaution, ending the day's activities.
Moses' burning bush story includes an interesting feature. Moses is told to take of his sandals for the place where he was standing was holy ground.
The evacuation was a match to Moses removing his shoes.
Part III: Visit with Bush
The highlight of the prophetic day was Ban Ki-moon's visit to United States President George Bush at the White House in Washington DC.
As happens so often in the prophetic stories, the name of President Bush is found directly in the story. President Bush is the bush that Moses went to visit.
Of course the capital complex was evacuated before the meeting, the shoes were removed, and now it was time for the big event. The public record of the meeting is mostly pleasentries, with no obvious linkage to the prophetic stories.
The Press Release of the meeting was issued at 2:00 PM in Washington DC, less than 4 hours from the theoretical time.
Conclusion
This prophetic cluster of events was a home run. The day-for-a-year timeline has been relatively quiet and headlines have not been this dramatic for some time.
This story, more than the earlier ones involving Ban Ki-moon, help establish him as the prophetic end-times Moses.
This single prophetic date ends with text involving Moses' visit with the king of Egypt. This helps link George Bush to the Pharaoh figure for the rest of the plagues and it helps establish the United States as the prophetic, end-times Egypt.

11¶ And Moses said to God, Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt? 12And God said to him, I will be with you; and this shall be a sign to you that I have sent you: when you have brought forth the people out of Egypt, you shall worship God upon this mountain. 13And Moses said to God, Behold, when I go to the children of Israel and say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say to them? 14And God said to Moses, I am AHIAH ASHAR HIGH (that is, THE LIVING GOD); and he said, Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: AHIAH has sent me to you. 15And God said moreover to Moses, Thus shall you say to the children of Israel: The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you; this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial to all generations.

2 Exodus 3:1-18
7Then the LORD said, "I have seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters; I know their sufferings, 8and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Per'izzites, the Hivites, and the Jeb'usites. 9And now, behold, the cry of the people of Israel has come to me, and I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. 10Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring forth my people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt." 11But Moses said to God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?" 12He said, "But I will be with you; and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought forth the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God upon this mountain."
13Then Moses said to God, "If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, `The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, `What is his name?' what shall I say to them?" 14God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." And he said, "Say this to the people of Israel, `I AM has sent me to you.'" 15God also said to Moses, "Say this to the people of Israel, `The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you': this is my name for ever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations. 16Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and say to them, `The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, "I have observed you and what has been done to you in Egypt; 17and I promise that I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt, to the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Per'izzites, the Hivites, and the Jeb'usites, a land flowing with milk and honey."' 18And they will hearken to your voice; and you and the elders of Israel shall go to the king of Egypt and say to him, `The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us; and now, we pray you, let us go a three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.' (RSV)
2 Exodus 3:1-18
4When the LORD saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, "Moses! Moses!" And Moses said, "Here I am."
5"Do not come any closer," God said. "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground." 6Then he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.
7The LORD said, "I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. 8So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey -- the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 9And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. 10So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt."
11But Moses said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?"
12And God said, "I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain."
13Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, `The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, `What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?"
14God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: `I AM has sent me to you.'"
15God also said to Moses, "Say to the Israelites, `The LORD, the God of your fathers -- the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob -- has sent me to you.' This is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation.
16"Go, assemble the elders of Israel and say to them, `The LORD, the God of your fathers -- the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob -- appeared to me and said: I have watched over you and have seen what has been done to you in Egypt. 17And I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites -- a land flowing with milk and honey.'
18"The elders of Israel will listen to you. Then you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, `The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Let us take a three-day journey into the desert to offer sacrifices to the LORD our God.' (NIV)

4When Yahweh saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, 'Moses! Moses!'
He said, 'Here I am.'
5He said, 'Don't come close. Take off your sandals from off your feet, for the place you are standing on is holy ground.' 6Moreover he said, 'I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'
Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look at God.
7Yahweh said, 'I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. 8I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. 9Now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me.

This is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations. 16Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and tell them, 'Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, 'I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt; 17and I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, to a land flowing with milk and honey.'' 18They will listen to your voice, and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and youP shall tell him, 'Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us.

2 Exodus 3:1-18
4And when Yahvah saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the middle of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here I am. 5And he said, Do not draw near; take your shoes off your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground. 6Moreover, he said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look at God.
7And Yahvah said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; 8And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 9Now therefore, look, the cry of the children of Israel is come to me; and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. 10Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring forth my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.
11And Moses said to God, Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt? 12And God said to him, I will be with you; and this will be a sign to you that I have sent you: when you have brought forth the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain. 13And Moses said to God, Look, when I go to the children of Israel and say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you; and they will say to me, What is his name? What will I say to them? 14And God said to Moses, I am THE LIVING GOD; and he said, You will say to the children of Israel: AHIAH has sent me to you. 15And God said moreover to Moses, Thus you will say to the children of Israel: Yahvah God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you; this is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations.
16Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and say to them, Yahvah God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, I have surely remembered you and seen that which is done to you in Egypt; 17And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of the Egyptians to the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey. 18And they will listen to your voice; and you and the elders of Israel will go to the king of Egypt, and you will say to him, Yahvah God of the Hebrews has appeared to us; and now let us go 3 days' journey into the wilderness that we may sacrifice to Yahvah our God.
