The Lord has brought us on a special learning journey, that goes far beyond astronomical events or factual information. He has directed our gaze to look upwards, so that we will reflect and consider downwards - toward His Word, toward our heart, and toward His love. The more we understand the depth of His love for us, the more that we will see the finish - when He finishes what He started in love. Maranatha!
The last chapter of the Book of Revelation, and of the Bible, contains a specific mix of celestial references - timed with the celestial story relating to the Alpha and the Omega, and the Author and Finisher of our faith. With so much emphasis given to the pivotal bright and morning star timing with the celestial scene, can we come to a firm, Bible-directed conclusion and understanding of which one it is? Venus or Sirius? Yes, indeed! Maranatha!

Why the Jewish state fell apart? 1 Kings 11:9-13 "And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the Lord God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice, And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the Lord commanded. Wherefore the Lord said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant. Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son. Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen." Taxes may have been the catalyst, but sin was the reason.
Sept 27 - Prime Minister Bennett gives powerful speech to Jewish community leaders in New York. My message to Jewish leaders in New York goes out to every member of the global Jewish family. -
Bennett to US Jewish Leaders: ‘We Have to Redesign Our Relationship’
The son of American immigrants to Israel, Bennett, like his predecessor Benjamin Netanyahu, speaks a fluent, nearly accentless English, and spent years living in the United States as both a child and an adult.
But in other crucial ways, Bennett sounded different from Netanyahu in his first public address to American Jewish leaders as prime minister. The speech, delivered in Manhattan a couple hours after he addressed the United Nations, was given to dozens of heads of the Jewish federation system, leading rabbis and other organizational bigwigs. It was the first time many of them had seen each other since the start of the pandemic.

Oct 3 - Tropical Cyclone Shaheen hit land in Oman on Sunday having already killed least three people, its high winds prompting evacuations
Oman’s desert climate the “ground is bone dry, so it can’t absorb the rain”.
The origin of Oman's name is uncertain. It seems to be related to Pliny the Elder's Omana[17] and Ptolemy's Omanon (Ὄμανον ἐμπόριον in Greek),[18] both probably the ancient Sohar.[19] The city or region is typically etymologized in Arabic from aamen or amoun ("settled" people, as opposed to the Bedouin),[19] although a number of eponymous founders have been proposed (Oman bin Ibrahim al-Khalil, Oman bin Siba' bin Yaghthan bin Ibrahim, Oman bin Qahtan and the Biblical Lot) and others derive it from the name of a valley in Yemen at Ma'rib presumed to have been the origin of the city's founders, the Azd, a tribe migrating from Yemen.[20]

Cheshvan 17 to 27 - Cheshvan is when darkness reigns, yet growth begins deep beneath the surface.
It is significant to note that the original name of this month was not Marcheshvan. This Babylonian name was adopted when the Jews went through the 70-year exile between the first and second temples. The original Hebrew name for the month was Bul, which denotes the idea of “drying up.”
The flood began on the 17th of Cheshvan, and the waters receded by the following year on the 27th of Cheshvan, allowing Noah and the other inhabitants of the ark to disembark. Interestingly, one explanation of the name Bul is that it stems from this month as the beginning of the rainy season in Israel; it is thus connected to the word mabul, flood – an overabundance of rain.

Rare biblical ‘balsam tree’ found depicted on 2000-year-old amethyst seal
The small lilac stone, featuring the engraving of a bird and a branch with five fruits, had fallen into the main drainage channel of Jerusalem from the Second Temple period. Known as “balm of Gilead” (tzori in Hebrew), balsam tree (nataf) or “persimmon” later in the Mishnaic period, the plant, whose modern scientific name is commiphora gileadensis, was used to produce perfumes, incense and medicines.

Jeremiah used the plant “balm of Gilead” to describe healing in three of his prophecies. The first time Jeremiah foretold the destruction and exile of Judah. Jeremiah asked, “Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then is there no healing for the wound of my people?” (Jeremiah 8:22).
The second time Jeremiah prophesied against Egypt. Jeremiah advised Egypt to go to Gilead and get balm, yet there would be no healing for them (Jeremiah 46:11). The third time, Jeremiah used the exemplar of balm for healing was to predict Babylon’s fall. (Jeremiah 51:8-9)
Medically, balms are healing or soothing substance, e.g., ointment, salve or cream.
In 1845 Edgar Allan Poe mentions it in one of the last stanzas of his poem: "Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil! – prophet still, if bird or devil! — Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted — On this home by Horror haunted – tell me truly, I implore — "Is there – is there balm in Gilead? – tell me – tell me, I implore!" Quoth the Raven "Nevermore." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_Is_a_Balm_in_Gilead

Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan instructed the foreign ministry to declare 10 Western ambassadors personae non gratae after they released a statement calling for the release of imprisoned activist Osman Kavala.
ISTANBUL — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Saturday that he had ordered 10 foreign ambassadors who called for the release of a jailed philanthropist to be declared persona non grata. The envoys, including the U.S., French and German representatives in Ankara, issued a statement earlier this week calling for a resolution to the case of Osman Kavala, a businessman and philanthropist held in prison since 2017 despite not having been convicted of a crime.
He added: "They will recognize, understand and know Turkey. The day they don't know or understand Turkey, they will leave." The diplomats, who also include the ambassadors of the Netherlands, Canada, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway and New Zealand, were summoned to the foreign ministry on Tuesday. A declaration of persona non grata against a diplomat usually means that individual is banned from remaining in their host country.

On Friday, 29 October, Pope Francis met in audience with the President of the United States of America, Joe Biden. The meeting took place in the Apostolic Palace in Vatican City State. President Biden arrived in the Vatican just before noon.
A motorcade of 85 vehicles escorted President Joseph Biden and First Lady Jill Biden to the Vatican on Friday morning for a private meeting with Pope Francis a day before the G20 summit of world leaders in Rome.
The President also gave Francis a handwoven vestment from the 1930s that came from the archival collection of Biden's Washington, DC, parish, Holy Trinity Church. The garment is a "handwoven fiddleback chasuble" that "was commissioned by Gammarelli of Rome in 1930 and has since been utilized by the Society of Jesus in the United States," according to a White House official. The chasuble was framed by artisans in Washington, DC, with "naturally fallen wood from the White House grounds" and historic marble reclaimed from the original pulpit of the church.

This Week in Prophecy: Peace & Security, Putin & Bennett, Israel Egypt & Natural Gas, Not So Secret
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Russian President Vladimir Putin met for the first time this past week in Sochi, Russia. Bennett had such a good time, he stayed over on the Sabbath. Putin indicated he is for “peace, security, and stability in the Middle East.” Putin appears to be on a collision course with Ezekiel 38-39 and 1 Thessalonians 5:3. Israel and Egypt are in talks to expand natural gas production and distribution to Europe. Time line for the project appears to be a couple of years away.
