Why has the number 3 kept showing up in the past few weeks?

Do you believe in coincidences? What does it mean to you when a seemingly unrelated set of events occur in a way that creates a connection between them? I believe that God speaks through such events and such occurrences actually demonstrate the existence of a Super Intelligence that not only knows the future, but is actually influencing it. This helps to strengthen our faith.

Why do I bring this up? In the past few weeks, a set of occurrences have happened involving the number 3 which caught my attention. I believe these are not coincidences, but an attempt by God to communicate something to us. Here is the list of these with source links:

• A 3.3 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale occurred in Egypt on the 30th of March (30/3). This was the first day of the Easter holiday which commemorates the 3 days that Christ was dead. Many scholars believe he died when he was 33 years old and the bible in Matt 27:46 says that he died at around 3pm. Jesus rose on the 3rd day. Jesus was crucified during the Jewish feast of Passover which started in Egypt when the angel of death struck the Egyptian first borns  and “passed over” the homes of the Israelite’s as they had smeared lambs blood on their doorposts under Gods instruction. This year, Passover and Easter started on the same day. Amazingly the Unites States Geological Survey website also indicated that the earthquake’s epicenter was 33km from a town in Egypt called Helwan.
• Just after the Easter holiday, the United States announced a list of 1,333 Chinese imports to be subject to punitive tariffs of 25%.
•  3 Presidents met in Turkey just after Easter to discuss how they could stabilize Syria. These were Vladimir Putin of Russia, Tayipp Erdogan of Turkey and Hassan Rouhani of Iran.
• On Friday the 13th of April, US President Trump gave the order for 3 Syrian targets to be hit by missiles in retaliation for an alleged chemical attack by the Syrian government on its people. 3 World powers took part in the strikes, namely the United States, Britain and France.
• 3 days before the Syrian strike, Mark Zukerburg the founder and CEO of Facebook appeared for the first time in front of the US congress to answer questions about his company’s role in 3 major issues which were the Cambridge Analytica scandal, Russian US election interference and Data privacy. Mark Zukerburg is 33 years old and has a current net worth of 66 billion US dollars.
• On April 6th, just days after the Easter holiday, Russia warned the British government that it was “playing with fire” for accusing Moscow for the poisoning of a former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in the United Kingdom. Sergei was 66 and Yulia was 33 years old at the time.

I find this information absolutely jaw dropping. What does this all mean? I am personally not sure. However my observation is that four of these incidents have Russia as a common denominator. The first incident was in connection to Christ, our Passover lamb. God asked that we watch Russia and so this may serve as confirmation of the prophetic significance of the events that have occurred in the past few weeks in relation to the country and Christ’s return.
