"one star in the east will swallow 7 stars in the north, and a flame of black fire will be hanging in the sky for 60 days"
Maybe those seven aren't the sisters (Pleiades).
The star in the east, the sun?
Ursa Major and Ursa Minor...The Big bear ( הדובה הגדולה) and the little Bear (הדובה הקטנה).
Tag team.
Maybe off-topic, maybe not, but how often does the world news media have a reason to fixate upon a big bear, as in Big Bear, California?
WOW... Not “off-topic” at all. Everything happens for a reason.
And the media frenzy at Big Bear managed to eclipse every other news item during that time period.
Although I don’t consider the Zohar to be directly Inspired by the Holy Spirit, I do not doubt that there is some fascinating stuff in there. If it doesn’t conflict with the Scriptures, then I find the parallels VERY Interesting.
Happy Homework Hunting! And thank you for sharing such interesting and deep research!
