Bethlehem and other hints

http://www.ybw.com/fileBank/PDF/thames_diamond_jubilee_pageant_participants.pdf
The above is the beginning of the list of ships that will participate in the Queen's Diamond Jubilee on the Thames River (the Thames is not the only place there will be large flotillas to celebrate the Jubilee - however, the Queen will also be on the Thames.)

In the official list above, the first ship that is mentioned in Belem.  The Belem is a French ship and according to Wikipedia, is named after the city in Brazil by the same name:


The meaning of Belem is Bethlehem.

Now, we already know the first ship in the Thames flotilla is the Gloriana or GLORY; the first ship listed on the list of ships means BETHLEHEM and it's the Queen's JUBILEE.

Jubilee literally means a ram's horn.  In the Bible we find that blowing a ram's horn (a musical instrument) is almost always associated with the Ark of the Covenant.  And Jubilee, Biblically speaking, is a salvation parallel.

The second coming of Jesus is also a time when there will be a blowing of trumpets, announcing the arrival of the King of Kings.
