Maybe she's referring to the fact that Bree's religion is a "secret" between Bree and Daniel.. Daniel has seen the camp, Bree probably told Daniel more about it than us.

Twistofreality:
I believe that there was once a discussion here about the lettering scheme of names. Perhaps this is a nod to that theory, and Cassie's referring to herself:
"Between the virgin and the beast"
=
Between Bree and Daniel
=
Between B and D
=
C
=
Cassie
good sleuthing!!! so do you think that makes Cassie the evil priest?

I think we need a new thread to pull together an interpretation of the poem.
A few opening thoughts:
The Book of Numbers is one of the books of the Old Testament that is attributed to Moses.
The page from Numbers led us to the voicemail, which was then hijacked (possibly in game). That hijacking was followed by Cassie saying that everybody hates her.
We have been late before.
We must now work together.
At dawn on October 1, she will reveal clues, which we must hurry to interpret and collect.
I agree w/ Kelrast
I don't think we are talking the end times here. I think Revelation is aluding to Cassie revealing more on the 1st of October

Maybe...I think I heard it somewhere already.
Between Bree and Daniel refers to Bree's parents, or particulary her dad.
which can be reffered to as "moses" in the poem. and that's why "moses" is not capitalized.
just a thought.
this is so interesting

Jeeze. She could have just said "Wait 'till the 1st".

11:17 When I lower My essence and speak to you there, I will cause some of the spirit that you possess to emanate, and I will grant it to them. You will then not have to bear the responsibility all alone.
This is numbers 11:17
Kinda sounds like, "The cost is not just mine to bear."

Mods/admins, is there a way to make it so that the proposed "translation" stays on the top of every screen in this thread? I'm sure that this post, too, will approach, if not exceed, 20 pages, and it'd be nice to have the poem available at the top of every one.
I'm not really familiar with phpbb, so please excuse me if it's a silly request.

"... lower My essence ..." Remember when Cassie said that she'd be above us?

I think, if this thread were locked and another posted with it in a 'poll' form it would work....*blinks* Otherwise, I am not sure if a post can remain at the top of a page.

Well, sunrise it at 6:47 AM in L.A. on Oct 1. Dawn is generally considered the first light right before sunrise. I'll be up to help solve any clues, but I hope all of you clue gatherers don't go out partying Saturday night and end up sleeping in...LOL I live much too far to go.
What is the official term for someone who actually goes out to the physical locations derived from ARG clues?

As for the moses thing, he parted the red sea... maybe it's a blood reference?

Nos wrote:Okay, here's my nitpicky...
"me" actually doesn't belong in the poem at all. Since the last line refers to Cassie in third person, she wouldn't (logically) have used 'me' anywhere. So what else could it be?
Edit: It also cannot be written from the pov of anyone involved in the story so far, since Bree and Daniel are referred to in the third person. But we assume that Cassie wrote the poem, yes, and is simply refering to herself in third person...as she has done before?
Poetic license, maybe? Just because "me" doesn't belong in there from grammatic standpoint doesn't mean it can't be used.
