400 silent years.”

Yes this relates...

Jacob is associated with the moon (lunar calendar), and Esau with the sun (solar calendar). Also as Jews and Christians. How to connect...

Fifty years ago, on July 20, 1969, the Apollo 11 Mission landed on the moon. Neil Armstrong became the first human to walk on the moon, declaring the immortal words, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” For a moment, the entire world was united in awe as they contemplated the wonder of humans on the moon. “For one priceless moment in the whole history of man, all the people on this Earth are truly one,” Pres. Richard Nixon told the astronauts while they were still on the moon.

The moon plays an important role in Judaism. It’s both metaphor and measure of our days. As the world marks half a century since we first ventured to its surface, here are seven Jewish facts about the moon.

Judaism’s Lunar Calendar

The Jewish calendar differs from the secular Gregorian calendar that many of use today. It relies heavily on the moon’s cycle to regulate the Jewish months. As the Talmud says, “The other nations count by the sun, while Israel counts by the moon” (Sukkah 29a).

It's almost Thanksgiving, the annual feast for all the family (Jews and Gentiles -- Jew and Joe is the same word in Hebrew, spelled gimel vav, all Americans).

Going on the 400th since 1620.

A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes in front of the Sun and casts a shadow across Earth. It's also known as an occultation. The reason solar eclipses happen is that the distance between the Sun and the Earth is about 400 times the Moon's distance from the Sun and the Sun's diameter is approximately 400 times larger than the Moon's.

What this means is that the Sun and the Moon both have a very similar size when viewed from Earth, so when the Moon passes in front of the Sun, it blocks the light from reaching Earth.

In astronomy, a syzygy (/ˈsɪzɪdʒi/; from the Ancient Greek σύζυγος, suzugos, 'yoked together'[2]) is a roughly straight-line configuration of three or more celestial bodies in a gravitational system.

Because there was no prophetic word from God during the period from Malachi to John, some refer to it as the “400 silent years.”

eclipse (n.)
c. 1300, from Old French eclipse "eclipse, darkness" (12c.), from Latin eclipsis, from Greek ekleipsis "an eclipse; an abandonment," literally "a failing, forsaking," from ekleipein "to forsake a usual place, fail to appear, be eclipsed," from ek "out" (see ex-) + leipein "to leave" (from PIE root *leikw- "to leave")..

And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men.. (Gen 33:1)

That's a lot of "talking turkey"... let's get this thing wrapped up.

Gather together and be blessed.

One of the traditional names of the Messiah is Chaninah [חנינה], which in the context of Thanksgiving is the President's official "pardon" [חנינה] of the turkey.

Slang. a person or thing of little appeal; dud; loser. a naive, stupid, or inept person.

Okay so everyone's a turkey.. your sins are forgiven so you can get up now. Let's eat.

Jesus saves. Leftovers. How many baskets?

Isaiah 53:2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him.
