More on Tim...
Hi BWF friends...it's been a few weeks since I've posted...have missed our conversations, and plan on jumping back in real soon, but have had to take care of some other things. However, just had to add some things to this conversation. This is actually taken from Dr. Stephen Jones' weblog--he is also seeing Tebow as a "sign" --
First entry is on the day of the game between Broncos and Patriots:

Football Signs of the Times
It appears that in recent weeks Tim Tebow's Christianity has become an issue with the secularists, talk show hosts, and Saturday Night Live. For some reason they feel it necessary to poke fun at him. Fortunately, he is a Christian and not a Muslim, otherwise, there would be hell to pay.
Now even the witches of Salem, Massachusetts are doing their part by supporting Tom Brady of the New England Patriots.

I take hexes and curses seriously, of course, because I understand and respect spiritual power and warfare. Take a moment and pray for Tebow's protection and for the perfect will of God to be done without interference.
This being a Passover season, though, it occurs to me that we might see a Passover lamb sacrificed at the hands of the wicked. If so, you can be sure that it will all turn out for good. We could argue either way for the outcome of the coming game, but in the end, we will just have to watch and see what happens.
It's just that the entry of the witches into the fray is turning this game into some kind of serious sign of the times.
SECOND ENTRY, DAY FOLLOWING GAME:

Passover sign fulfilled, watch for resurrection signs ahead
Last evening, the New England Patriots beat the Denver Broncos (and Tim Tebow) by a score of 45-10. The score was never even close. Tom Brady was at his best; Tim Tebow, it seems couldn't do much at all.
The fact that it occurred on the night of the 14th of January made this a Passover watch date, and I wondered if we might see a Passover lamb here. "Tebow" is T-bow, or a Crossbow, and it looked to me like God was setting him up to be crucified as a Passover lamb.
That is what I meant when I wrote yesterday in "Football Signs,"
This being a Passover season, though, it occurs to me that we might see a Passover lamb sacrificed at the hands of the wicked. If so, you can be sure that it will all turn out for good.
The sign implies, then, that we should watch for a resurrection sign either on the third day (Monday) or, more likely, next Sunday, which corresponds to the wave-sheaf offering after Passover.
Denver scored 10 points. Ten is the number of the Law, by which Christ was crucified. Recall that Aslan was killed by witchcraft in operation on the stone Table (of the law).
Years ago when Denver won two Superbowl titles under John Elway, we took note that their mascot, Thunder, was a type of the White Horse in Revelation 19. In other words, it had to do with the second coming of Christ--not the first, when He rode into Jerusalem on an ass. Tebow, the Crossbow, seems to be pictured in Rev. 6:2, the one coming on a white horse carrying a bow. He comes to conquer. Hence, when we picture him as a type of Christ, first being crucified, and then conquering death by resurrection, he appears to be playing this role quite well.
The first coming of Christ, as you all know, was to play the role of Judah, the dead lion, lying down all bloodied, as pictured in Gen. 49:9. The second coming of Christ is to play the role of Joseph, the inheritor of the birthright. Judah gives way to Joseph, as Gen. 49:10 indicates: "The Scepter shall not depart from Judah... until Shiloh comes." Shiloh later was a town in the tribe of Ephraim, son of Joseph. Likewise, Joseph's dreams indicated that all the brothers, including Judah, would eventually bow down to him.
So the score of 45-10 is also significant. 45 has to do with inheritance, and 10 is the law. Christ dies on the tables of the law, but the issue is His Inheritance. In His first appearance, the portion of His inheritance that was disputed was His throne rights through Judah and David. In the second coming, the dispute is over the birthright and the birthright name, "Israel." This comes through Joseph, whose robe was dipped in blood (Rev. 19:13).
It looks like our January Passover (1l/14) is marking the sign of what has been happening already for many years--the usurping of Joseph's birthright--all played out in a normal football game on the surface, where the players are totally unaware of how they are prophesying. If this is how we are to take it, then the news is good. We ought to see resurrection signs shortly and in the coming year.
This is, after all, the Year of the Awakening.
Just had to share this...it is still all tied in to much of our discussions on this forum.

He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. Eph 1:9-10
