Don't mind me -- I really just need to get this stuff out there. It's a matter of life and death:
CHARACTER
"Idiots! - Children destroy toys! - You'll all be ruined, forgotten! Spending eternity rotting in some landfill!" ~ Stinky Pete
The Messiah - Salabue Stradivarius of 1716 is a violin made by the Italian luthier Antonio Stradivari of Cremona. It is considered to be the only Stradivarius in existence in as new state.[1]
>>>
The Messiah was bequeathed by the family of W.E. Hill to the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford for preservation as "a yardstick for future violin makers to learn from".[1]
The violin is in like-new condition, as it was seldom played.
[The Ashmolean Museum was named for Elias Ashmole. It was built to house his cabinet of curiosities.]
The Messiah is a kinnor:
Kinnor (Hebrew: כִּנּוֹר kīnnōr) is an ancient Israelite musical instrument in the yoke lutes family, the first one to be mentioned in the Hebrew Bible.
Its exact identification is unclear, but in the modern day it is generally translated as "harp" or "lyre",[1]: 440 and associated with a type of lyre depicted in Israelite imagery, particularly the Bar Kokhba coins.[1]: 440 It has been referred to as the "national instrument" of the Jewish people,[2] and modern luthiers have created reproduction lyres of the kinnor based on this imagery.
The word has subsequently come to mean violin in Modern Hebrew.

Besides the Elijah and Messiah meet-up going on here, there's an interesting merge of names in the same place: Oxford ("ox ford") and Salabue ("ox hall").
There is a midrashic tradition that Moses brought Joseph's coffin up from the Nile by taking a clean piece of pottery, writing G-d's mystical name on it and the words 'Rise, oh ox!' and throwing it into the Nile. The casket then floated to the top. The appellation "ox" was a reference to Jacob's blessing to Joseph in this week's Parshah, comparing him to an ox.
There's a midrash with the same symbolism, the one about David having the foundation of the Temple dug to a depth of 1500 cubits, which uncovered the Foundation Stone. He was told hey leave that thing alone, it's holding back all the waters of the deep. But David just had to peek (perhaps like Leonard Nimoy's account of how as a child he discovered the hand sign for the priestly blessing, which was the inspiration for the "Live long and prosper" Vulcan salute.).
Indeed the waters started rising, so as the story goes, David had to come up with something fast. He inscribed the Tetragrammaton on a pottery shard and threw it down into the pit, which stopped up the flood that would have destroyed the world.
Joseph -- the son who is the foundation ("yesod") of the nation, the world.
Moses brought Joseph's coffin up from deNile. It's not just a river in Egypt.
"G-d's mystical name on it"
Purim Fun: Why is There a Star in the Middle of the Scroll?
That scroll ("megillah") is the scroll of The Messiah, the star specifically on the side with the pegs for strings G and D, like this:
Esther means "star" and "hidden", and...
Question:
Someone pointed out to me that throughout the entire story of Purim in the Megillah, G-d is not mentioned once. I understood that this is a story about G-d miraculously saving us. If so, why do we leave Him out of the story?
It's right here, as shown. And "Jew" יהודי -- as in "Mordecai the Jew" -- ends with a dalet + yud, which are the letters that join to form the letter hei [ה], so יהודי can be reread as יהוה, the name of G-D that's "nowhere" in the Megillah.
Today in history (35 Yehudi יהודי "Jew" years):
"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall."
The Wiki page is also in Hebrew, titled as the quote [מר גורבצ'וב, הפל חומה זו].
It always pays to go the extra step because the sum = 736, which first appears in the Torah here, and completes the above water cycle:
Gen 1.7. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above [המים אשר מעל] the firmament; and it was so:
Great -- the raindrops rearrange to: מה מעם ישראל ,
"What" is from the people of Israel?
Exactly. The "Kinnor haMashiach" for starters.. the national instrument of the Jewish People. What's in a name, and how is it pronounced?
YhWH? Big mystery, but Rachel explains it all here. It's just a little breath. Is it The Way, or away?
Up up and away... it's not complicated. Nice touch with the address on the post: 301, which is esh, fire [אש].
Good thing I didn't skip the code, because 736 is ˠ, representing Velarization. It's right there on the page along with its IPA number, 422, which = "seventy", the time for the end of the exile, and is the value for the letter of vision, the ayin.
ע
422 also = Stinky Pete [פיט המסריח]. It's right there on the cast list on Wikipedia.
422: Might as well include Nebuchadnezzer [נבוכדנצר] and the revelation of the Messiah [גילוי המשיח], because they're obviously all in the same topic stream.
What does "velarization" have to do with anything? Dark or light, because as it turns out, on that link,
A common example of a velarized consonant is the velarized alveolar lateral approximant (or "dark L"). In some accents of English, such as Received Pronunciation and arguably General American English, the phoneme /l/ has "dark" and "light" allophones: the "dark", velarized allophone [ɫ] appears in syllable coda position (e.g. in full), while the "light", non-velarized allophone [l] appears in syllable onset position (e.g. in lawn). Other accents of English, such as Scottish English, Australian English, and potentially standard U.S. and Canadian accents, have "dark L" in all positions.>>>
The terms light or clear (for non-velarized or palatalized) and dark (for velarized) are also widespread. The terms "soft l " and "hard l " are not equivalent to "light l " and "dark l ".
"Dark L" in all positions?? Get off my lawn.

Tear down this wall... aka the Berlin Wall speech. Talk about timing, the total round up (the yechida ,יחידה, the all-inclusive soul of the Messiah, = 37) of Maverick solutions to business:
Berlin - Take My Breath Away (Official Video - Top Gun)
The Graves House (aka the "Top Gun" house) recently came back to life as High Pie. Anyone notice the location of Israel on FR? It's 37. Go figure. You can quickly see the location number by clicking on my name, and then the flag. It's my favorite chapter of the Prophets, hence the inspiration for my screen name. Chapter 37. Can these bones live?
Then in the fullness of time, I learned that the first light on America -- from March 25 to Sept 18th -- is on MarsHill, ME. Address: 37 Graves. The place is named Big Rock.
Crazy, seemingly random details. If it weren't in the Megillah, who would believe it?
In living parable-land, if my life were a photo right now, it would be the one Marty was looking at -- the future family, vanishing.
Come on! Time for everyone to fall in love! Johnny B. Goode... because "Every Good Boy Does Fine". Joseph is the well-known inspiration for that message.
The space between the lines is literally called "בֵּינָה".
Understanding. It adds up to 67, same as a Jewish Heart [לב יהודי], the secret of Elul [67, אלול]. Funny thing -- a couple weeks ago I went to the DMV to renew my license, expecting that they'd require a vision test. Long wait. My ticket was 67, and then no vision test after all. As such, the woman said I could have done it online. (But if I hadn't appeared in person, the machine would not have given me a number. The touch screen didn't work for the DL option, so I had to select "other.")
The "face" solfege note names in Hebrew add up to 180, the same as panim [פנים], the word for face.
180, the number that means to turn around, a complete change of direction. A photo in the Graves House article even repeats the theme, saying "Because I was inverted."
That *is* the story of the Megillah, why it's known as the "flipped over story." The famous phrase from Esther 9, Venahafoch hu = 179. Sooo close to the tipping point!!!!
Watching, I keep waiting, still anticipating love
Never hesitating to become the fated ones
Turning and returning to some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say, My Love
Take my breath away
Through the hourglass I saw you, in time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed, I called you, and turned to hear you say
If only for today, I am unafraid
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Elijah explained "This is what he said to thee, To-day, if ye will hear his voice"

Someone should tell her (the Shekinah)... That poor guy is gonna sing that song forever, if he won't say what he wants to say, in person.That someone *is* him.
