The airbus had 155 people on board including seven crew members and 148 passengers. There is absolutely no reason to divide the number of souls on board by pilots and "people" (are not the pilots people too???) except to fit some numerology scam of the false prophets.
What does the passengers standing on the wings (to keep from drowning) have to do with the rapture and just why is it "prophetic" ???
rapture to the north to the "city of the great king" ??? I think he has G-d confused with satan claws and his mythical palace where he makes toys at the north pole.
I guess the 153 passengers are now being "sent out" to "bear witness and testimony of the kingdom" but the pilots are not. It is also important to note that several passengers on the flight were praying to ishtar (the "virgin mary") and saying their "hail ishtars" (hail marys) as the plane was ditching. If anything, this even will bring all of the false world religions together and is a satanic lying sign and wonder.
2 Peter 2
1 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. 3 In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
Deuteronomy 18:10-12 "There shall not be found among you anyone who uses divination or who practices witchcraft or one who interprets omens or is a sorcerer or who casts a spell or is a medium or a spiritist or who calls up the dead. For whosoever does these things is detestable to the Lord."

Brother Bill (20 Jan 2009) "Rapture Seen in Hudson River Airline Event"
The short journey taken by the 153 people and 2 pilots in the recent USAir river landing may reveal in the natural what will soon take place in the spiritual realm.
The USAir Airbus plane, having 2 pilots and 153 people on board, first ascended, then descended and landed on the Hudson River in New York.
Upon takeoff the plane headed north, and reached an altitude of only 3,200 feet before the engines were struck by birds. After making a broad turn, the plane began a gradual descent back to earth, heading south, landing on the water.
As the people exited the plane, many were seen standing on both wings, which were covered by a few inches of water. From a distance they appeared to be 'walking on water.' This entire scenario may be prophetic of the soon-coming event of snatching-away, called the 'Rapture' by some.
The Rapture of the Saints may occur in just such a similar series of events acted out by the plane and its passengers. There are many Scripture passages that imply that the Saints will be snatched away or 'raptured' to the sides of the north, the city of the Great King, and be filled immediately with the fullness of Yahuweh, only to be sent back to the 'south' — to the 'waters' of multitudes of people. From the perspective of the multitudes, these raptured will be 'walking on water' as a description of the fullness of Messiah-in-them.
There are two amazing events in Scripture, and some related Hebrew words, that may confirm these events seen recently on the Hudson River, as prophetic of what may soon come to the Believers. The first event is the Ascending of Elijah in (2Kings 2). The second event is Peter's miraculous release from prison in (Acts 12). Third, there are some Hebrew words that may be connected to these events. Let's look briefly at these.
Elijah and Elisha
In (2Kings 2:11), we see Elijah caught up by a whirlwind into heaven. We then see Elisha received not only Elijah's mantle, but a double-portion of Elijah's Spirit (a double measure of the Holy Spirit that was upon Elijah) that Elisha had previously requested. We see also the association of this event with the word 'chariot'
This scenario between Elijah and Elisha can be seen in many ways, and so can reveal many truths. One facet that is now coming into view is that Elijah and Elisha can be seen together as "one" prophetic picture, much like the two separate birds of (Lev 14:4-7, 49-53).
We recall from these Leviticus passages that for cleansing of a leper or of a house having a plague, one bird was to be killed in an earthen vessel under running water, and the other bird let go in the open field. The two birds are seen together as one prophetic picture, and portray shedding of Blood as atonement and cleansing, and resurrection to eternal life, which comes as a result of the application of the Blood and the Living Water. The prophetic picture portrayed by these two birds together would foretell of the blessings provided to us today by Yahushua Himself, through His death, burial, and resurrection.
If Elijah and Elisha are, as the 2 birds, to be seen as one prophetic picture, what would this mean? First we see Elijah and Elisha parted, or separated, by a chariot of fire. Then we see Elijah caught up to heaven, and then see Elisha go forth with a double-anointing, having Elijah's mantle.
This series of events seen in Elijah and Elisha could very well picture the saints caught up, then given a fulness of the Holy Spirit, then sent 'back' to go out into the world to give testimony of the Kingdom, having a double-portion-anointing which would provide the ability to do exactly what the two witnesses are seen as doing in (Rev 11:3-7).
Although we can not elaborate in this short writing, there are very many Scripture passages, all in agreement, that hint strongly that the "two witnesses" may be a company of many Believers that go forth to be 'witnesses' in the earth. The number "two" is used simply as a prophetic term revealing who it is that the two are made one with, and who it is that they are in relationship with, making them 'witnesses.' The great significance of who these witnesses are can be seen in Zechariah chapter 4, and Num 32:11-12, for those who would explore this further. Let's now look at the example of Peter.
Peter's Release from Prison
In Acts Chapter 12 there is a fascinating series of events that take place after Peter is put in prison. In summary, Peter experienced a miraculous deliverance from prison when the angel of Yahuweh loosed him from being bound with two chains between two soldiers, and guarded by two soldiers outside. Four soldiers called a quaternion, had been guarding Peter at any one time, with four of these quaternions required for the entire night of four watches. After Peter had been loosed, he followed the angel of Yahuweh out to the iron gate, which then opened of its own accord, by itself.
Peter then went to the house where the other disciples had been praying for him, and after knocking a while, and after they finally opened the door, they were 'astonished' when they saw Peter. Peter then gave testimony of how Yahuweh had brought him out of prison, and then went to another place. There is much here to discuss, but we can only summarise. There are several good writings that discuss the details of these events. I would recommend Bob Schlenker's 2-part writing on the Iron Gate found here.
The defining moment in this Peter-Rapture scenario is Acts 12:7, where the angel of Yahuweh struck Peter on the side, and raised him up (<1453> 'egeiro' is the word for "resurrected") him. This verse is the 4200th verse of the New Testament. The hint of meaning Scripture gives for the number "42" is the 'appearing' of Messiah-in-you in resurrection power, with the 100 multiplier speaking of the greater power and glory. Thus the placing of this passage at exactly the 4200th verse-count gives us further confirmation that this passage portrays the 'appearing' of Messiah-in-you in resurrection power at the time of the Rapture! (The 4200th passage of the TNK also is prophetic of our Rapture!)
These are some very unusual events! But as we study closely these events, and the word meanings, and the prophetic meaning of these events, we begin to see a picture that portrays only one thing: the 'Rapture' of the Believers, and how they may then be immediately changed, to go forth to give testimony of the fulness of Messiah and His message of the Kingdom.
This brings us back to the events on the Hudson River. Is there anything else that would connect these events? Let's look at a few Hebrew names and words.
Hebrew Words
Hebrew is a phonetic language. There are many words in everyday use that have come from Hebrew. When we recall that all people on earth have descended from Noah, and from Noah's three sons, it is easier to understand that all the languages on earth have words of similar phonetic sound to Hebrew words, even though 'confounded' or changed at Babel, and down through time.
Many names of people and places were originally given Hebrew names, but over time these have changed because of persecution, alternate spelling or other reasons. The name 'Hudson River' is named for Henry Hudson (1565-1611), and this may be one such name. Let's look at similar-sounding Hebrew words in Scripture, to see whether we see something of prophetic significance.
There is a Hebrew word used only once in Scripture, having a phonetic sound similar to 'Hudson.' This is the Hebrew word 'hotsen,' Strong's number <02021> meaning "chariot." But we must test the meaning and context of any words we find, to determine any prophetic significance. How might the chariot fit into this?
Elijah's ministry ended, and Elisha's began, with a chariot dividing them. The name Hudson may be the anglicised version of the Hebrew 'hotsen' or chariot, marking a coming change of the Elijah mantle. This is only one bit of evidence, so let's look further.
It may be significant that the only use of this Hebrew word 'hotsen' is seen in Ezekiel 23:24. This 'chariot' in Ezekiel may be a key-word marking the beginning of the judgment of the prophetic Aholibah and Aholah seen in the next few passages in Ezekiel. This judgment seen in Ezekiel is greatly prophetic of our day, and will happen because of the reasons Yahweh gives in Ezekiel 23:37-38. For a clue to who this Aholah and Aholibah may represent prophetically, we need only to remember that "judgment must begin at the house of God," which Peter says is "us" (1Peter 4:17).
We understand from many Scripture passages that there will soon be two sets of concurrent events to occur, one of going forth giving testimony, the other of judgment. We also understand from Scripture clues that the number "153" speaks of those who will be as 'great' fish entering into the kingdom (Mt 5:19), as overcomers.
The Hudson River event, if it is related to the Hebrew word ('hotsen'), may signal the beginning of a concurrent series of Biblical events, wherein the prophetic "153" may be sent forth to bear witness and testimony of the Kingdom at the same time judgment is to begin.
Beloved, let us give ourselves to prepare for our Bridegroom — let us all 'Watch'<08104>! For we shall all be involved in these two series of soon-coming events, either in the one, or in the other. YBIM,
Brother Bill
