Tav - 400 - 22 - Mark - End

 

~ ת TAV ~


Psalm 119

169 -  Let my cry come before You, O Lord;

Give me understanding according to Your word.

 Let my supplication come before You;

Deliver me according to Your word.

 My lips shall utter praise,

For You teach me Your statutes.

My tongue shall speak of Your word,

For all Your commandments are righteousness.

 Let Your hand become my help,

For I have chosen Your precepts.

 I long for Your salvation, O Lord,

And Your law is my delight.

 Let my soul live, and it shall praise You;

And let Your judgments help me.

 I have gone astray like a lost sheep;

Seek Your servant,

For I do not forget Your commandments.

400 years the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt

Then the LORD said to Abram, “Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years14But I will judge the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will depart with many possessions.c 15You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a ripe old age. 16In the fourth generation your descendants will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”

Genesis 15

God Makes a Covenant With Abraham, Part 2


Hebrew Pictograph / Letter Meaning


The twenty-second [22] and final letter of the alef-beis is the letter tav.

"From aleph to taf" describes something from beginning to end,

the Hebrew equivalent of the English "From A to Z."


8420. tav: marksignature, my (written) mark (in attestation) – Hebrew תָּו

https://biblehub.com/hebrew/8420.htm - Ezekiel 9:4

8427. tavah: to make or set a mark – Hebrew תָּוָה

https://biblehub.com/hebrew/8427.htm




Ezekiel 9:4 depicts a vision in which the tav plays a Passover role similar to the blood on the lintel and doorposts of a Hebrew home in Egypt. In Ezekiel's vision, the Lord has his angels separate the demographic wheat from the chaff by going through Jerusalem, the capital city of ancient Israel, and inscribing a mark, a tav, “upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.”

Go throughout the city of Jerusalem,” said the LORD,

and put a mark on the foreheads of the men

sighing and groaning over all the abominations committed there.”

Ezekiel 9:4



I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God,

who is and was and is to come— the Almighty.

Revelation 1:8

400th Anniversary of the Mayflower

The U.S. Postal Service issued a new "Mayflower" stamp which went on sale September 17, 2020.
At last the over-full and hitherto baffled Mayflower was ready for the third trial. This final voyage would be successful. On September 26, 1620, the gallant little craft slipped out to sea. 

November 11/21, 1620 - 400th Anniversary of the Mayflower
The Mayflower Compact was signed aboard ship on November 21 [O.S. November 11], 1620. Signing the covenant were 41 of the ship's 101 passengers while the Mayflower was anchored in Provincetown Harbor within the hook at the northern tip of Cape Cod.

400 Years are Over - Mayflower 1620 - November 21, 2021

December 21, 1620  Plymouth Colony: William Bradford and the Mayflower Pilgrims land on what becomes known as Plymouth Rock, in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

The Mayflower lay in New Plymouth harbor through the winter of 1620–21, then set sail for England on  
April 15 [O.S. April 5], 1621. 
Mayflower made excellent time on her voyage back to England. The westerly winds that had buffeted her on the initial voyage pushed her along on the return trip home. She arrived in London on 
May 16 [O.S. May 6], 1621, less than half the time that it had taken her to sail to America."

What a difference 400 years makes! AI 'Mayflower' will make groundbreaking crew-less crossing of Atlantic next month powered by solar energy: Craft will chart same 3,000-mile route taken by ship that brought 102 Pilgrims to America in 1620. An autonomous version of the historical Mayflower ship that's powered by artificial intelligence (AI) is set to make is maiden voyage across the Atlantic next month.
On April 19, Mayflower Autonomous Ship (MAS) will depart from Plymouth, England and arrive at Plymouth, Massachusetts about 3,000 miles and two weeks later.
The original ship, which transported 102 passengers known as the Pilgrims, took 10 weeks to reach its destination in the autumn of 1620.

Oct 2, 2020 - Philadelphia - Up to 1,500 birds flew into some of Philly’s tallest skyscrapers one day last week. The slaughter shook bird-watchers. He collected 400 birds between 5 and 8 a.m. in the radius he regularly covers roughly spanning 17th to 19th Streets between Market Street and JFK Boulevard — an astonishing number, according to an Audubon Pennsylvania official.
Image: Some of the 400 birds Stephen Maciejewski collected in Center City Philadelphia Oct. 2, during what Pennsylvania Audubon says a rare event with from 1,000 to 1,500 birds crashing into buildings in a small three block area. He said the last big bird kill of this scope happened 72 years ago when a massive flock struck what was then the PSFS Building at 12th and Market Streets, now a Loews hotel.

Mr. Fischbacher and his longtime partner, Roy Horn, were inseparable throughout their career, which lasted more than 40 years. They began working together as teenagers and ended up as headliners at their own 1,500-seat theater at the Mirage hotel in Las Vegas. Their act came to an abrupt end on Oct. 3, 2003, when a 400-pound white tiger locked its jaws on Horn’s neck and dragged him from the stage. Horn almost died of blood loss, had a stroke and never fully recovered. He died in May of covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.
