Well, it's like I posted a short while ago on the SPD thread,
"I end up all over the map, so it's not for everyone."
Of course, the Messiah is so far beyond me, and way so much smarter too, because he had the good sense to get the t-shirt:
(Amazing what can be discovered on the internet. This place has everything. He probably didn't even need to travel to Persia to pick that up.)
Speaking of that 70...
The LXX account of Esther includes some odd stuff -- extra information at the beginning and the end. It's about Mordecai's dream of two dragons on Nisan 1, and its interpretation.
A translation is here on one page, so a word search of "dragons" will take you to those two places, the beginning, and the end for the interpretation.
Come to think of it, a total solar eclipse is a veritable river of darkness, even with the different levels of "wet" marked along its banks.
The one on 1 Nisan exits the US near Mars Hill in Maine, the place named after Hezekiah, who was famous for the sundial of Ahas. He had been in serious need of a healing.
As Time and Date continues to inform on everyone, right on the above eclipse link is the message that
An Eclipse Never Comes Alone!
Yet few seem to be paying any attention to the Shushan Purim deep penumbral lunar eclipse on March 25th, which ends ~ 51 min ahead of the seasonal first light on Mars Hill, the date celebrated in Christian circles as the Feast of the Annunciation, when Gabriel blew into town to deliver a special message to Mary, for those who believe in that sort of thing.
Very weird in the totality of it all. Looks to be some kind of "giant planetary-scale project of coordinating all of humanity into a single, smoothly operating organism".
Makes perfect sense, though, doesn't it?
Because, after all,
"As we have already seen, early on Joseph is linked to the fulfillment of Jacob's legacy."
Say, maybe that's why there's that benchmark close by, in a big white stone right along the road, numerically ID'd for Joseph and the Philosopher's stone, facing east toward the place named for the whole concept.
It's the darndest thing... it's the one that had been pried up all around the edge like some people had been determined to remove it. Unsuccessful. No vision, so they were doing it wrong!
