EVIDENCE OF BIBLICAL STORY FOUND IN LAYERS OF JERUSALEM ASH
The Bible describes King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon laying siege to Jerusalem and specifically burning down the temple, the palace and “all the great houses” (2 Kings 25:9).
The arrowheads, known as “Scythian arrowheads” and used by Babylonian warriors, have been found at other archaeological sites containing remnants of wars and conflicts during the 7th and 6th centuries BC. “Together, this evidence points to the historical conquest of the city by Babylon because the only major destruction we have in Jerusalem for this period is the conquest of 587/586 BCE,” he said.
Known in Hebrew as Asarah B'Tevet, (10th of Tevet), the fast was originally established to commemorate the beginning of the siege of Jerusalem by the Babylonian emperor Nebuchadnezzar in 425 BCE. The siege was "the beginning of the end" and continued for 30 months until the walls of Jerusalem were breached, eventually leading to the destruction of the First Temple on the 9th of the Hebrew month of Av in 586 BCE, a full 24-hour fast done in the summer.
There are three other minor fasts (meaning they last from daybreak to nightfall) observed by Jews: the 17th of Tammuz three weeks before the 9th of Av, the fast of Gedaliah after Rosh Hashanah and the Fast of Esther before Purim. The two major fasts (meaning they last from before nightfall to nightfall the next day) are the 9th of Av, when the Temples were destroyed, and Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
‘And it was in the ninth year of [King Tzidkiyahu’s] reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth (day) of the month, that Nebuchadnetzar, King of Babylon came, he and all his legions, upon Jerusalem, and encamped upon it and built forts around it. And the city came under siege till the eleventh year of King Tzidkiyahu. On the ninth of the month [of Av] famine was intense in the city, the people had no bread, and the city was breached.’
On the tenth of Tevet, the Babylonians began their siege of Jerusalem. A year and a half later, on the ninth of Av (Tishah Ba’Av), the First Holy Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed. The Tenth of Tevet marks two additional tragedies for the Jewish people: On the 8th of Tevet during the 2nd Beis Hamikdash Talmai (Ptolomy), King of Egypt ordered 72 sages to translate the Torah into Greek, known as the Septuagint. On the 9th of Tevet, Ezra HaSofer (The Scribe), leader of the Jews who returned from Babylonia to Jerusalem at the beginning of the 2nd Beis Hamikdash period, died.
The Megalim Institute of the City of David presents an overview of the Babylonian Conquest and the Destruction of the First Temple.
In the ninth year, on the tenth day of the tenth month,
the word of the LORD came to me,
saying, “Son of man, write down today’s date,
for on this very day the king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem.

Micah 5:2
After all their preparations Mary and Joseph were devastated to hear the news that late into Mary's pregnancy, they had to suddenly travel back to their ancestral home of Bethlehem. But what seemed like a tragedy imposed by an oppressive government, turned out to fulfil ancient prophecy that points us to the work our Messiah was born to accomplish. We travel to Migdal Eder, spoken of by Micah the prophet, to uncover why the Messiah needed to be born in the fields outside of Bethlehem

Dec 21 - Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn @ Winter Solstice
Close approaches of the two planets are called great conjunctions because they are the rarest of all conjunctions between the planets that are visible to the naked eye.
From Jerusalem,the pair will become visible around 16:57 (IST) as the dusk sky fades, 20° above your south-western horizon. They will then sink towards the horizon, setting 2 hours and 18 minutes after the Sun at 18:57.
Jupiter and Saturn will cross within .1 degrees of each other a once-in-a-lifetime rendezvous recreated in the Doodle artwork. The two largest planets will nearly overlap to form a “double planet,” an event that hasn’t been easily visible since the Middle Ages—almost 800 years ago. Today’s animated Doodle celebrates the Northern Hemisphere’s first day of winter as well as this rare double planet sighting–or “Great Conjunction”–which can be viewed from anywhere on earth!
The Monday doodle honors the Winter Solstice, which takes place on Dec. 21 and marks the shortest day and longest night of the year. It also commemorates the Great Conjunction, an event during which the two largest planets in our solar system – Jupiter and Saturn – will nearly overlap to form a "double planet."
For the first time in 800 years, the "Christmas Star" or "Star of Bethlehem"will be visible in the night sky. During the upcoming winter solstice on Dec. 21, Jupiter and Saturn will align to create the bright star of wonder.
Jupiter And Saturn Will Appear Closest In Sky For 800 Years This December https://www.iflscience.com/space/jupiter-and-saturn-will-appear-closest-in-sky-for-800-years-this-december Jupiter and Saturn have been approaching one another in Earth's sky since the summer. From Dec. 16-25, the two will be separated by less than the diameter of a full moon. Just after sunset on the evening of Dec. 21, Jupiter and Saturn will appear closer together in Earth's night sky than they have been since the Middle Ages, offering people the world over a celestial treat to ring in the winter solstice. "Alignments between these two planets are rather rare, occurring once every 20 years or so, but this conjunction is exceptionally rare because of how close the planets will appear to one another," said Rice University astronomer Patrick Hartigan. "You'd have to go all the way back to just before dawn on March 4, 1226, to see a closer alignment between these objects visible in the night sky." Those who prefer to wait and see Jupiter and Saturn this close together and higher in the night sky will need to stick around until March 15, 2080. https://phys.org/news/2020-11-december-jupiter-saturn-planet-middle.html
The Great Conjunction, Revelation 12:4, and Our Red Sea Moment
BREAKING: The Third Gate Has Fallen In Israel As The Christmas Star Captivates The World
As mentioned earlier, the Great Conjunction has become a worldwide sensation, and was even featured on the homepage of Google. It has been dubbed the Star of Bethlehem redux, as well as “The Christmas Star.” If the Church is soon removed, the world will not have been left without a heavenly witness. Indeed, God said He made the sun, moon, and stars to serve as signs (Gen. 1:14) and that they would communicate to us from Him every day and every night (Ps. 19:1–4).

12-2 - Bahraini minister: We will make peace with Israel a success story. “We have a desire to promote change in the Middle East, change that brings with it peace, stability, security and economic prosperity,” Ashkenazi said. “There are many, many more collaborations to come.”
Peace between Bahrain and Israel “leaves this world a better place for future generations than the one we inherited,” he told Netanyahu. “Peace has been signed, the foundation has been laid. It is now upon us…to move forward and forge peace by having direct, constant integration between business communities, which we believe will filter down to the common citizen.”
Alzanyi is leading a delegation of 40 Bahraini officials on a three-day trip to the Jewish state in an effort to expand bilateral ties in the areas of trade and tourism.
12-1 - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that his Likud party will vote against a bill put forth by the opposition to dissolve the Israeli parliament, effectively ending the current government.
As coalition edges further toward collapse, Netanyahu pleads for ‘unity’ But Likud minister says Gantz ‘unworthy’ of being PM; talks between coalition parties continue ahead of preliminary reading Wed. of bill dissolving Knesset, compromise unlikely.
Gantz Says His Party Will Vote With the Opposition to Dissolve Parliament Netanyahu's coalition partner accuses him of leading Israel to what would be its fourth election in two years ■ Cabinet minister from Labor also said party will vote for dissolution on Wednesday.
Report claims Blue and White leader will announce decision sometime before motion comes up, but sides still may be holding out hope for compromise to stave off 4th poll in 2 years
The Blue and White announcement said Gantz had instructed the party to put forward three legislative proposals aimed at promoting equal rights: “The Basic Law: Equality,” which Gantz said “aimed to enshrine the right to equality and the prohibition of discrimination”; “the surrogacy law,” which would “evenly expand the circle of those entitled to surrogacy, expand the circle of women who can serve as surrogates, and regulate the possibility of surrogacy outside Israel”; and “The Basic Law: The Declaration of Independence,” which would require judges to “interpret all Israeli legislation, including other Basic Laws, in light of the Declaration of Independence as a constitutional document.”
Under the coalition deal between the Likud party, led by Netanyahu, and Blue and White, the two agreed to pass a budget running through 2021. Netanyahu, however, is now insisting on separate budgets for 2020 and 2021, with a failure to pass a budget allowing him to avoid handing the premiership over to Gantz — as the agreement also requires — and instead go to elections. If the budget issue is not resolved by late December, early elections would automatically be called anyway, the fourth in two years.
The Knesset dispersal bill is only being brought in a preliminary reading. It would still have to pass three more times in the Knesset plenum and three times in the Knesset House Committee to become law. It may not pass into law by the December 23 deadline to pass the 2020 state budget, when the Knesset would be dispersed automatically.
12-2 - Knesset advances motion to disband, moving toward 4th elections in 2 years. Opposition motion passes 61-54 after support from Blue and White, but must still pass three more readings before new national vote called.
If the Knesset dissolution bill isn’t ultimately approved, the government has until December 23 to pass a 2020 budget or the government will fall and elections will automatically be scheduled for March 23, 2021.

Queen Elizabeth II's dorgi Vulcan has died, leaving her with just one remaining dog In 2018, the Queen lost Willow, the last descendant of her original corgi, Susan, the dog she received on her 18th birthday in 1944. The monarch even appeared beside James Bond actor Daniel Craig with her dog Willow for a sketch shown during the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.
The dachshund-corgi cross is said to have died a few weeks ago at Windsor, but Buckingham Palace is yet to confirm. Last month Will & Kate lost their dog - "Very sadly last weekend our dear dog, Lupo, passed away. He has been at the heart of our family for the past nine years and we will miss him so much," Will and Kate wrote, signing off with "W & C."
The Queen has been fond of corgis since she was a small child, and has owned more than 30 of them since her reign. It was reported in 2015 that the Queen stopped breeding corgis so she would not leave any behind. She has owned four dorgis including Vulcan. The monarch, 94, and Prince Philip, 99, are currently socially distancing at Windsor Castle, where they will remain for Christmas. This is the first time they have forgone a Christmas at Sandringham in 33 years.

Church housing New York’s Liberty Bell, which rang in the birth of the nation in 1776, destroyed during fire. Fate of NYC’s Liberty Bell unclear.
Firefighters work to extinguish a fire that erupted from a building next to Middle Collegiate Church on Saturday, Dec. 5, 2020 in New York. The historic 19th century church in lower Manhattan was gutted by a massive fire early Saturday that sent flames shooting through the roof.
The church was built in 1892, its third location in Manhattan since 1729. The church is the oldest congregation of the Collegiate Churches of New York, which dates to the 1620s when Dutch settlers came to the island. The church’s bell tower housed New York’s Liberty Bell, which rang in the birth of the nation in 1776 and has since marked the inaugurations and deaths of American presidents. It has also tolled in remembrance of those killed in the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Bhutan, which is additional fruit of the peace agreements
BHUTAN - The head of state is the King of Bhutan, known as the "Dragon King." The Druk Gyalpo (Dragon King) is the head of state. Since the 17th century, Bhutan's official name has been Druk yul (literally, "country of the Drukpa Lineage" or "the Land of the Thunder Dragon," a reference to the country's dominant Buddhist sect); The terms for the Kings of Bhutan, Druk Gyalpo ("Dragon King"), and the Bhutanese endonym Drukpa, "Dragon people," are similarly derived. __ [Rev 12:4-5 KJV] The dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. 5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and [to] his throne.

The term "end of the world" refers to Chile being the southernmost country in the world, which is why Chilean Patagonia, the southernmost natural region of the country and at the same time, the southernmost part of the American continent.
Our Torah portion for Chanukah week is called ”Miketz” (מקץ), a word that means "at the end,"
and therefore it points to the prophetic future (i.e., the "end of days" or acharit ha-yamim). Just as Joseph was a "dreamer" who was betrayed by his brothers but was promoted to a place of glory by the hidden hand of God, so Yeshua was betrayed by his people yet was exalted over all the nations (מֶלֶךְ הַגּוֹיִם). And just as Joseph later disguised himself as a "stranger" and an "Egyptian" to his brothers but was finally revealed to be their savior, so will the Jewish people eventually come to see that Yeshua is the true Savior of Israel. Then will come true the hope of Rav Sha’ul (the Apostle Paul) who wrote, "And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, ‘There shall come out of Zion the Redeemer (גּוֹאֵל) who shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob’" (Rom. 11:26). [Hebrew for Christians]
14 December, 2020 (28 Kislev, 5781) Hanukkah starts at sundown on the 10th, so this is the precise “midpoint” of the holiday just two days after the Sabbath.

One of the largest ceramic oil-lamp workshops in Israel has been discovered by Israel Antiquities Authority excavations in Beit Shemesh. Hundreds of ceramic oil lamps, two bearing symbols of the menorah and stone lamp molds for their production were found along with terracotta figurines which were made about 1600–1700 years ago. A small number of the ceramic oil lamps are decorated with distinctively Jewish symbols such as the shofar, incense burner and seven branched menorah. “The festival of Hanukkah is a wonderful opportunity to tell the public about the recovery of these oil lamps, which was the main method of lighting in ancient times.”

Because they have not listened to My words,
And as for My law, they have rejected it also.

Kushner to lead maiden flight from Israel to Morocco Senior White House adviser Jared Kushner says he will join an Israeli delegation on the first direct flight to Morocco. The flight, set to depart Tuesday, marks the fourth diplomatic pact brokered by the Trump administration between Israel and an Arab country. The agreements, known as “the Abraham Accords,” have reshaped the Middle East. Netanyahu, who has enjoyed close relations with Trump, presented Kushner with a plaque of appreciation. Earlier on Monday, he also joined Kushner at a tree planting at the new “Kushner Garden of Peace” in a Jerusalem forest.
Kushner: Trump’s Jerusalem recognition led to ‘explosion of peace’ in region White House senior adviser links president’s recognition of capital to subsequent normalization deals, recalling and dismissing criticism that move would inflame tensions
“It turns out Jerusalem is not the cause of the problem — it is the core of the solution,” Kushner said at a tree-planting ceremony in the capital’s Grove of Nations.
"Planting an olive tree in Jerusalem is a symbolic act which creates a deep-rooted bond between visiting statesmen and the State of Israel. A joint concern for nature and the environment forms a basis for partnership between countries." The ambassadors accompanying the head of state usually recite the Planter’s Prayer.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu participated in a tree-planting ceremony with US Senior Presidential Advisor Jared Kushner at the Grove of Nations in Jerusalem on Monday. Netanyahu and Kushner planted 18 olive trees, [only one partial planting shown] a traditional symbol of life and peace, in the 'Kushner Garden of Peace' to commemorate Donald Trump's son-in-law's contribution to the Abraham Accords between Israel and a number of Arab countries in the Middle East. "It is fitting that we choose to honour Jared Kushner in this way. Jared, you've played a critical role in the inception and in the implementation of the Abraham Accords," the prime minister said. "These accords have shown the world, and the entire Middle East of course, how to shed hostility and conflict and how to embrace the path of life and peace. In the last few months, four Arab states have chosen life and peace over hostility and conflict and more Arab countries will follow as the circle of peace continues to expand," Netanyahu added.
"Over the last four months, we have reached four peace agreements and thanks to four years of hard work and I do think that the benefits of that will be felt for many years to come," Kushner said. - https://youtu.be/mUOQQZpVvaA
120 Years of Miracles - A Global Hanukkah Celebration with KKL-JNF
Jewish National Fund (Hebrew: קֶרֶן קַיֶּימֶת לְיִשְׂרָאֵל, Keren Kayemet LeYisrael, previously הפאנד הלאומי, Ha Fund HaLeumi) was founded in 1901 to buy and develop land in Ottoman Palestine (later the British Mandate for Palestine, and subsequently Israel and the Palestinian territories) for Jewish settlement.
The idea of a national land purchasing fund was first presented at the First Zionist Congress in 1897 by Hermann Schapira, a German-Jewish professor of mathematics.[10] The fund, named Keren Hakayemet (later known in English as the "Jewish National Fund") was formally established at the Fifth Zionist Congress in Basel in 1901. The establishment of the “Olive Tree Fund” marked the beginning of Diaspora support of afforestation efforts.
First Zionist Congress was held in Basel (Basle), Switzerland, from August 29 to August 31, 1897.It began with 200 participants from seventeen countries, 69 of whom were delegates from various Zionist societies. Ten (10) Christians were invited as guests to the First Zionist Congress (three-day (3) conference). It was agreed that one representative was to be appointed for each of Britain, America and Palestine.[16]Theodor Herzlwrote in his diary (September 3, 1897):[17] .... At Basel I founded theJewish State.[3]
The United States arm of the JNF, incorporated on January 26, 1926, is the largest contributor to JNF-KKL.[27]In the United Kingdom, the JNF-UK (full name JNF Charitable Trust) was formed in 1939 and registered as a charitable organization.[48]British prime ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown had been Honorary Patrons of the JNF-UK, like all British prime ministers before them since its inception. David Cameron resigned as Honorary Patron to JNF-UK in 2011. Since then, the JNF-UK's Honorary Patrons include no leader of the main British political parties.
After Israel's establishment in 1948, the government began to sell absentee lands to the JNF. On January 27, 1949, 1,000 km² of land (from a total of about 3,500 km²) was sold to the JNF for the price of I£11 million.
KKL-JNF - Israeli Government Covenant
The Covenant between the State of Israel and Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael was signed in 1961, in order to regularize any duplication concerning land owning and managment.

US Night meetings too! Bipartisan House lawmakers joined forces Monday night to approve a massive $2.3 trillion federal spending package, combining another round of emergency coronavirus relief with funding to keep the government running for the next nine months.
The major contours of the agreement mirror those of the $2.2 trillion CARES Act, approved by both parties in March, but features lesser spending on key benefits. It includes $600 direct payments to individuals and a $300 weekly boost in unemployment insurance, for instance, both representing half the amount offered in the CARES Act.
I keep thinking of Christian iconography — images of the Annunciation to the shepherds — among them the great Rembrandt etching “The Angel Appearing to the Shepherds,” in which a celestial figure appears to a few terrified shepherds, waked from the gloom of a wild and benighted patch of hilly ground. One of them runs in terror, out of the light and back into the darkness, as if the darkness is at least a known thing, menacing but familiar. Or Charles Angrand’s 1894 charcoal drawing “The Annunciation to the Shepherds,” in which two huddled figures are barely visible in a faint shaft of light, the darkness woven into the paper as deeply as it seems woven into the shepherds themselves.

The Federal Reserve System (also known as the Federal Reserve or simply the Fed) is the central banking system of the United States. It was created on December 23, 1913, with the enactment of the Federal Reserve Act in response to a series of financial panics (particularly the panic of 1907) that showed the need for central control of the monetary system if crises are to be avoided.[list 1] Over the years, events such as the Great Depression in the 1930s and the Great Recession during the 2000s led to the expansion of the roles and responsibilities of the Federal Reserve System
Known in Hebrew as Asarah B'Tevet, (10th of Tevet), the fast was originally established to commemorate the beginning of the siege of Jerusalem by the Babylonian emperor Nebuchadnezzar in 425 BCE. The siege was "the beginning of the end" and continued for 30 months until the walls of Jerusalem were breached, eventually leading to the destruction of the First Temple on the 9th of the Hebrew month of Av in 586 BCE, a full 24-hour fast done in the summer.
There are three other minor fasts (meaning they last from daybreak to nightfall) observed by Jews: the 17th of Tammuz three weeks before the 9th of Av, the fast of Gedaliah after Rosh Hashanah and the Fast of Esther before Purim. The two major fasts (meaning they last from before nightfall to nightfall the next day) are the 9th of Av, when the Temples were destroyed, and Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
