Brief introductory numerical notation:
There are 430 days from the fall of the Twin Towers until the UN resolution giving Saddam 7 days to allow inspectors to come in and search his country. This 430-days is 1290 + 1335 years (of 360 days, Daniel 12) from the parallel 430 days that elapsed between the prophecy of Ezek. 31, and the fall of Jerusalem in 586 BC. (Please see "Twin Towers and 945000 days" for details.) Moreover, Ezekiel was told to lay on his side 430 days to symbolize the then upcoming siege of Jerusalem, (Ezek. 4). Furthermore, 430 is the gematria of one of the coins (tekel/"shekel") of the writing of the wall. As a matter of fact, I was writing all this out to put on the Net, noting how all these events are happening in perfect numerical arrangement, when that very day (unknown to me) President Bush announced that Saddam and his two sons had 2 days to leave Iraq---and these two days happened to be the very two days of Purim---the Jewish festival that celebrates the overthrow and death of another (ancient) enemy, "Haman," (see the book of Esther). (It was also the anniversary of when Haman's 10 sons were hung on the gallows as a sign to all future enemies of the Jews! 126 days later, as predicted by the code, the 2 sons of Saddam were also dead!) Amazingly, the code repeats this phrase twice, once for each son: "He perished because he refused the warning sign/banner."
The connection to Purim by what the code reads:
What is more amazing is that the code is referring back to the scriptural occasion of when Moses lifted up his hands as a sign/banner while Israel battled with the Amalekites below. As long as his hands were lifted up, Israel was winning the battle against the Amalekites; but, when his hands wearied, then they began to lose. When the battle was over, God said that "He would have war with the Amalekites from generation to generation," and that place was called, "The Lord is my banner," because "hands were lifted up..." Now comes the hand writing on the wall! Now comes the warning of this code! Now comes the warning sign of when the war began---Purim! The code proclaims that "God is a banner," (i.e., "The Lord is my banner") and that Saddam's sons (like Belshazzar) were to "perish for refusing the banner/warning sign."
It is very interesting that Haman (of "Purim") is called, "Haman the Agagite," about whom Jewish tradition says was a descendent of "Agag," king of the Amalekites, the enemy of the Jews! (cf., Num. 1Sam. 15:7-33). Thus, the code tells us why Saddam's sons perished: They refused the 'warning sign' of "Purim," for surely Saddam would have been made aware of that uncanny fact. Moreover, the casting of lots ('pur') reminds of the code, "Mene, Mene," which in this case meant: 'Your number is up, Saddam and sons!'
(Esther 9:24-25), "Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them; but when the matter came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows."

Exodus: 17 (ASV)
First comes the story of the tempting of God at Rephidim. It is the context for the story of the war with the Amalekites. The code borrows heavily upon this entire chapter of the bible, and from the chapter before. The narrative concerning the murmuring at Rephidim is in red, with the battle with Amalek (also at Rephidim) in black type.
Exo 17:1 And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, by their journeys, according to the commandment of Jehovah, and encamped in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.
Exo 17:2 Wherefore the people stove with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why strive ye with me? Wherefore do ye tempt Jehovah?
Exo 17:3 And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore hast thou brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
Exo 17:4 And Moses cried unto Jehovah, saying, What shall I do unto this people? They are almost ready to stone me.
Exo 17:5 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Pass on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and they rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thy hand, and go.
Exo 17:6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
Exo 17:7 And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the striving of the children of Israel, and because they tempted Jehovah, saying, Is Jehovah among us, or not?
Exo 17:8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
Exo 17:9 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to-morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.
Exo 17:10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
Exo 17:11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
Exo 17:12 But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; And his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
Exo 17:13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
Exo 17:14 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
Exo 17:15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi; [i.e., "The Lord is my banner,"]
Exo 17:16 And he said, Jehovah hath sworn: Jehovah will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.

Haman, the Agagite, (a descendent of the King of the
Numbers 24:7-9, "Water shall flow from his buckets, And his seed shall be in many waters, And his king shall be higher than Agag, And his kingdom shall be exalted. God bringeth him forth out of Egypt; He hath as it were the strength of the wild-ox: He shall eat up the nations his adversaries, And shall break their bones in pieces, And smite them through with his arrows. He couched, he lay down as a lion, And as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Blessed be every one that blesseth thee, And cursed be every one that curseth thee."
