“…Maybe there's even some time for a new cat and a mail order bride…” Oh, My -- I read this and broke out laughing out loud!!!! a mail order bride? seriously? -- A new roof - did not surprise -- a new vehicle did not surprise -- even a new pet did not surprise ....... but a mail order bride… was very surprising! Sorry, I found that quite amusing (and if you were being serious -- sorry -- but I still think it is a funny statement) No need to be sorry. I'm glad that it made you laugh. Gladness of heart, is the life of man. It would be REALLY funny if the world doesn't end and i DID get a mail order bride. The way my luck goes, she'd probably get herself lawyered up and take me for all i've got. The end of these wonders can be a serious and at times stressful subject to contemplate. A bit of humor might defuse some of that. It's just a matter of time. We're going to get there one way or another. Everyday brings us one day closer. It's inevitable, time's going to be up one of these days. And i'm still stuck on the OP. I still lean towards it being one of the major signs. Most people have probably let it slip away. But i can't let it go for some reason. John Chau's friend from high school did an interview and said John was obsessed with going to Sentinel Island all the way back in high school. When i was in high school that would be the LAST thing that i would think to do. But to get that idea in high school, and then to continue with it year after year after many a long year, and never give up on it or change his mind. John Chau's boss said the same thing. She said that every decision he made for the past 7 or 8 years was made to prepare for Sentinel Island. She also surprised me when she said that the travel ban had been lifted on North Sentinel Island. I didn't hear that before. And while i was looking for the most accurate dates for when John was at that Island, i found this God Reports Blog which had many of the best collections from John's journal. I find it very spooky reading John's notes. His prayers to the Lord: “Lord…if you want me to get actually shot or even killed with an arrow, then so be it. I think I could be more useful alive though, but to you, God, I give all the glory of whatever happens. I DON’T WANT to DIE! Would it be wiser to leave and let someone else continue? No. I don’t think so – I’m stuck here anyway without a passport and have been off the grid. I still could make it back to the US somehow as it almost seems like certain death to stay here. Yet there is evidenced change in just two encounters in a single day. Will try again tomorrow.”And this vision: "In his journal, Chau recounted a vision he received from God the previous evening. “Last night, I had what I’d call a vision as I’ve never had one before – my eyes were shut but I wasn’t asleep and I saw a purple hue over an island-like city as a meteorite or star fell to it and it was a frightening city with jagged spires and I felt distressed. Then a different light, a whitish light filled it and all the frightening bits melted away.”blog.godreports.com/2018/11/slain-missionary-john-chau-quarantined-himself-took-immunizations-to-avoid-harming-tribe-battled-with-his-emotions/For some reason, i still can't stop thinking about this one. And then shall the end come. |

One interesting note that I did not hear about ......
Was the first time he was shot in his Bible -- was Isaiah 63:5-65:2
Notice what the words of Isaiah 65 say
I was ready to be sought by those who did not ask for me;
I was ready to be found by those who did not seek me.
I said, “Here I am, here I am,”
to a nation that was not called by my name.
2
I spread out my hands all the day
to a rebellious people,
who walk in a way that is not good,
following their own devices;
That sent chills ..... “Here I am, here I am, to a nation that was not called by my name."

Then chills went down my spine too as soon as i read the word chills that you wrote. I remember the story of John's Bible being hit by the arrow at Isaiah 65, but i didn't think to check the Scripture for what was there. Good job, great find kjs. And so i still think that this is THE indicator Jesus mentioned in Matthew 24:14. And so i think time is short and something could happen any day now, any minute. I think it's near, even at the door. I think. I think. I think. I have been thinking about something else that's hard to explain. I don't have my thoughts on it organized enough to get it worded out right now. But it falls into the category of where maybe all the things that they told us about the end times, may not in reality happen like they told us they would. And so while i'd rather not get into arguing the specific doctrines, like who or what the two witnesses are, some passages that talk about: "those who dwell on the face of the earth, or: "all the tribes of the earth will mourn, i think might be talking about events that will occur after we are already gone. Like even if i'm not the traditional "Pre-Trib, i tend to think the Bible, at times, is describing events at a place AFTER all the Elect are removed from the face of the earth. And then ALL the tribes of the earth will mourn when they see the sign of the Son of Man. Because it may be we who ARE the sign of the Son of Man as billions of translated members of the Elect light up the stratosphere. And some will shine like the stars forever and ever. The tradition of exchanging gifts.I did a bit of googling to find out how long, or where did the exchanging of gifts originate from. I'm not talking about giving a random gift of money to a charity or church, but the exchange of gifts as we do at Christmas time. I can't find it as being that common of a thing. Especially in AD95 when John was writing Revelation. I read that Jewish immigrants in the 50's viewed the exchanging of gifts at Christmas time as "pretty strange". "But in response to the commercialization of Christmas and pressures to assimilate, many Jewish families began to give each other gifts in the mid-20th century, elevating the importance of the holiday, Efron said.
In contrast to Purim, a major holiday in the Jewish calendar, Hanukkah is a minor festival celebrated for eight nights in December. The holiday memorializes a military battle, making it partially religious and partly a national holiday. There is no religious foundation for exchanging gifts on Hanukkah.
This change in the holiday was a second- and third-generation immigrant phenomenon that took place in the 1950s, according to Fischer, who added that earlier Jewish immigrants viewed Christmas as “pretty strange.”
"At the end of the month long fast of Ramadan, many Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the festival of breaking the fast, by giving gifts to each other and giving charity before Eid prayers. Many wear new clothes. According to the New York Times, some large companies such as Armani and Tommy Hilfiger have started marketing to court Muslim shoppers during Ramadan via marketing efforts.
"Buddhists exchange gifts at certain times of the year and during certain festivals, but these exchanges typically come in the form of donations to institutions such as monasteries and temples, rather than presents to an individual, according to UC Berkeley Buddhist studies professor Alexander von Rospatt.
"Extensive gift buying and exchanges are also a staple of Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, which lasts for four days and represents the triumph of good over evil. The holiday is important among Hindus even outside of India and has become popular enough abroad to gain the informal title of “Indian Christmas.”
But Ramadan or the Hindu festival of lights aren't going to be 10 days before the sun is "darkened".This year the Christmas gift giving season, when we "make merry, and shall send gifts one to another", falls 14 days before the sun is "darkened".  "And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
"And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them. Because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. Three days and an half. And make merry, and shall send gifts one to another. Can this be a hint that it's near Christmas time? "Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.3.5 days + 10 days of tribulation = 14 days. If i tick the box that includes the day of the "darkened" sun. December 27, counts inclusively 10 days until a "darkened" sun.  When people are saying peace and safety?  A history on the tradition of gift-giving around the worldLet every heart prepare Him room, And Heaven and nature sing. . |

Dec 27 is my birthday.
I feel it's soon. I don't know when, but this feeling has been with me for awhile now and won't go away. I just feel that something has got to happen soon.
Not that we should go on feelings...but the whole world is showing it also.

I think many of the "theories" currently floating around may not "pan out" exactly how they are predicted to (as humans have interpreted them too)....
For example -- Jesus Christ opens the first four of the seven seals, which summons forth four beings that ride out on white, red, black, and pale horses. Although some interpretations differ, in most accounts, the four riders are seen as symbolizing Conquest, War, Famine, and Death, respectively.
So these four seals (of the scroll given to the Lamb of God) bring forth Horsemen. So is that literal horsemen riding on literal color horses? While on the subject of color -- the "pale color" is khlōros (χλωρός) in the original Greek which can mean either green/greenish-yellow or pale/pallid. Are the "horsemen" literal people? Physical People? Representatives of a type of people?
Here we are looking at the first four seals and we are finding it confusing even to align these "Visions" as they were recorded. The next confusing part is the "timing" of the events..... Each "horsemen" has a few short lines describing them followed by a command to "COME"
Does that mean they come back to back (meaning practically instantaneous) -- or are they a month a part -- or even six months apart?
I have seen movies predicting each of these scenarios -- as well as read books proclaiming the order and timing -- but we just do not really know for sure.....
One thing I truly predict i that none of them will ever come close to what we have imagined they would be.....
Here we have an example of an OT prophecy “There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots” (Isaiah 11:1).
and the fulfillment of this prophecy is here “The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham …” (Matthew 1:1).
And Here we have a partial prophecy
“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel,
whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting” (Micah 5:2).
I Say partial -- because as it stands right now -- Jesus has NOT Ruled Israel yet -- the only thing that has happened so far is He was born in Bethlehem.
So even we can "Look" back and "see" how things were fulfilled ... the parts fulfilled -- only make sense in the past sense.
I think the Revelation Prophecies -- too are only going to make sense -- when they are history.......

So even we can "Look" back and "see" how things were fulfilled ... the parts fulfilled -- only make sense in the past sense. I don't think i better start a discussion about the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, or about the Judaic prophecies of the OT. I think the seals span many a long year, 1221 years, and the Judaic prophecies were conditional on the Old Time Jews redeeming the 70 weeks. I think the Revelation Prophecies -- too are only going to make sense -- when they are history....... I agree. But i don't think that it guarantees everyone will understand them all. Obviously, when the fire falls from Heaven in the full view of men, that IS going to be abundantly clear to all. The watchmen will see eye to eye. They will see with their own eyes. But even now, i think many of the Revelation prophecies have just been happening since 2015, and they have not been recognized by the majority. The signs have been given in the sun and in the moon and in the stars; we are speeding toward the distress of nations and a "darkened' sun. But like Natalie was saying, she has a feeling. People on Youtube are making videos in their cars because they have a feeling. They can feel it being near. People can sense it. Even the numerous comments below the video. I never have seen so many. I like this guy, even though i don't think he has any real evidence, i like to listen to him. As the video goes on his sense of urgency seems to increase. I worry about the guy though. So i think we are much closer to the "coming" that Jesus was talking about in Luke 17, like on the day that Lot left out from Sodom, so shall it be at the "coming of the Son of Man. I think that the "falling away has culminated with the Man of sin taking his seat. I think that the seventh head did come and has now used up his "little while", and now takes it's place and is numbered as one of the seven who are proved false as the composite beast opens it's mouth to blaspheme God and His dwelling place and those who live in Heaven. But having said all of the above, and if anyone thinks that stuff sounds crazy, that's not the half of it. Since the summer of 2013, i have thought that i have known that the Rapture would be on the first weekend of January 2019. And here we are. My date counter says it's 11 days away. If nothing happens between the 1st weekend and the third weekend of January 2019 when the moon will not give her light, i'm all out of bullets. I'm out. But i still think we're here. I'm apprehensive. I still think something is going to happen. There has been too many signs and event markers which were measurables in time that are never going to happen again. What Isaac Newton said about Daniel 9. 1535 The 1535 decree measuring 62 new modern day weeks to 1969. A new 1969 decree measuring 7 new modern day weeks to January 2019. 1914, 1938, nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom culminating with a fig tree sprouting it's leaves in 1948. Comet Shoemaker Levy 9 impacting Jupiter 21 times in 1994 at the end of seven sets of seventy weeks since the Exodus. Then 21 years to the tetrads when the third moon calculated the Daniel 12 prophetic time periods to the Revelation 12 sign and then a "darkened" sun in January where a blood moon will also not give her light. There's just too many coincidental numbers for all this to be a coincidence. From the "darkened" sun, i can measure backwards to five different peculiar signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars. <----1260----> <-----1290-----> 0.976744186046512 <------1335------> 0.966292134831461 <-------1372-------> 0.973032069970845 From the third moon of the tetrad, until the "darkened' sun is 1372 days. From the day that Jupiter entered into Virgo to begin the Revelation 12 sign, until the "darkened" sun is 777 days. From the last moon of the tetrad, until the conjunction of Jupiter and Venus is another 777 days. From that same conjunction after the Revelation 12 sign, until the "darkened" sun is 420 days. The last 420 days of a 1260 day span when measured from the third moon of the tetrad. And the Abomination standing EXACTLY 1290 days until that same "darkened" sun. These are events and celestial signs that are not replaceable in time. They are NEVER going to happen again. So if i'm wrong about all this, and we get through January without any apocalyptic events, i'll need to shift my focus into making some Dough Re Me. Because i doubt that there are many rich mail order brides. Maybe i'll put some steel roof panels in too. The raccoons where i live can do serious damage trying to get into the attic. Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house. Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, I have seen movies predicting each of these scenarios -- as well as read books proclaiming the order and timing -- but we just do not really know for sure..... One thing I truly predict i that none of them will ever come close to what we have imagined they would be..... "Then two will be in a field: one will be taken and one will be left. Check out The Avengers Infinity War disintegration scene. Could THEY know that the Rapture is near? I doubt it, but i like the raccoon scene anyway.  |

The new year will get off to a brilliant start when a rare reddish-orange body called a Super Blood Wolf Moon graces the sky in January 2019.
There's a total lunar eclipse, also known as a Blood Moon.
This Blood Moon takes place when the moon is a "supermoon" (14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter ).
A full moon in January has been called a Wolf Moon ever since colonial times.
If you’re in North America, you can expect to see the Super Blood Wolf Moon on January 20. Totality will occur around 9:12 p.m. PST or 12:12 a.m. EST on January 21.
===========
On Jan 4, 2019 through Jan 7, 2019 --- the Moon will be in it's NEW Stage (less than 3% on 4th) (and up to 2% on 7th)
===============================
davewatchman says "... Since the summer of 2013, i have thought that i have known that the Rapture would be on the first weekend of January 2019. And here we are. My date counter says it's 11 days away. If nothing happens between the 1st weekend and the third weekend of January 2019 when the moon will not give her light, I'm all out of bullets.

Still not following the logic of why you think this time period is the rapture date?

==========
Still not following the logic of why you think this time period is the rapture date?
I'm trying to think of an easy and compact answer to the question. I see what i call the empirical. And then more and more verification seems to be found all over the place. The events and celestial alignments that do not grow on trees. They are not replaceable in time. These things are never going to happen again. There's never going to be another 1948. There's never going to be another Suleiman the Magnificent in 1535. And there's never going to be another decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem in 1969. There's never going to be another Comet Shoemaker Levy 9 smashing into Jupiter 21 times in 1994 counting 21 years to 2015 where a rare total solar and lunar eclipse counts 1372 days until a "darkened" sun and a moon that will not give it's light. And from June 26, 2015, when the United States became the 21st nation to make legal same sex marriage, until that same "darkened" sun is EXACTLY 1290 days. And what are the chances that the Revelation 12 sign's conjunction of Jupiter and Venus would also confirm the last third, the last 420 of the 1260, when measured to the "darkened" sun? That alone would be pretty tough to fake, even by a dragon empowered composite beast. There's more detail to this, i'm sure. But these things are never going to happen again. My countdown counter is saying 7 days, 22 hours, 49 minutes. www.timeanddate.com/countdown/eclipse?iso=20190106I'm either really REALLY right about this, or i am really REALLY wrong about it. But whatever is going to happen, we don't have to wait very long to find out. When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. – Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. As we speed toward a "darkened" sun, Peaceful Sabbath. |

Dave honestly hope you are right. My 'gut' tells me the lunar eclipse will come and go without any major event. Maybe a new conflict could break out? Or Damascus is ruined? Something in Israel, but not our blessed hope, not yet The odds favor your gut being right. I'm not hoping to be right. I'm more afraid that i am right. It sounds like i don't have the gut for this. Woe to those who long for the Day of the Lord. Still, i'll be more surprised if nothing happens. I've had some new thoughts about what's going on with the doctrine. The Greek word that Jesus used in Matthew when He said for then there will be great TRIBULATION. Looking at that word itself doesn't spook me. It just sounds like stress or pressure. thlîpsis
Thayer's Definition1. a pressing, pressing together, pressure 2. metaph. oppression, affliction, tribulation, distress, straits Paul uses the same word in Romans combined with other words that sound worse. Romans 8:35Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? I continue to review the materials. And the materials appear legit. They look more for real every time i look at them. Look again at the Isaac Newton material. Even that alone is big. All of the components of that story are not replaceable in time. But it's spooky. "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. – Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.  Sir Isaac Newton 25 December 1642 – 20 March 1726/27[1]) was an English mathematician, astronomer, and physicist (described in his own day as a "natural philosopher") who is widely recognized as one of the most influential scientists of all time and a key figure in the scientific revolution. Sir Isaac Newton on Daniel 9:"The former part of the Prophecy related to the first coming of Christ, being dated to his coming as a Prophet; this being dated to his coming to be Prince or King, seems to relate to his second coming. There, the Prophet was consummate, and the most holy anointed: here, he that was anointed comes to be Prince and to reign. For Daniel's Prophecies reach to the end of the world; and there is scarce a Prophecy in the Old Testament concerning Christ, which doth not in something or other relate to his second coming." "This part of the Prophecy being therefore not yet fulfilled, I shall not attempt a particular interpretation of it, but content myself with observing, that as the seventy and the sixty two weeks were Jewish weeks, ending with sabbatical years; so the seven weeks are the compass of a Jubilee, and begin and end with actions proper for a Jubilee, and of the highest nature for which a Jubilee can be kept: and that since the commandment to return and to build Jerusalem, precedes the Messiah the Prince 49 years; it may perhaps come forth not from the Jews themselves, but from some other kingdom friendly to them, and precede their return from captivity, and give occasion to it." "Thus have we in this short Prophecy, a prediction of all the main periods relating to the coming of the Messiah; the time of his birth, that of his death, that of the rejection of the Jews, the duration of the Jewish war whereby he caused the city and sanctuary to be destroyed, and the time of his second coming: and so the interpretation here given is more full and complete and adequate to the design, than if we should restrain it to his first coming only, as Interpreters usually do. We avoid also the doing violence to the language of Daniel, by taking the seven weeks and sixty two weeks for one number. Had that been Daniel's meaning, he would have said sixty and nine weeks, and not seven weeks and sixty two weeks." "Thus have we in this short Prophecy, a prediction of all the main periods relating to the coming of the Messiah; - the time of his birth,
- that of his death,
- that of the rejection of the Jews,
- the duration of the Jewish war whereby he caused the city and sanctuary to be destroyed,
- and the time of his second coming:
and so the interpretation here given is more full and complete and adequate to the design, than if we should restrain it to his first coming only, as Interpreters usually do". "From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven 'sevens,' and sixty-two 'sevens.' The Old Time Jews might have accepted their Messiah. They could have redeemed the 70 weeks. In that case a second coming might not have been necessary. Embedded within it's enigmatic text, Daniel 9 had to contain a provision for two separate comings of Messiah. Seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks. Sixty-two weeks, and seven weeks. A Primary Visitation, and a Secondary Visitation. 434 years, and 49 years. All based on decrees to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem. Google: 1535 decree.I get this page: Walls of Jerusalem"In 1535, when Jerusalem was part of the Ottoman Empire, Sultan Suleiman I ordered the ruined city walls to be rebuilt. Those walls stand as a witness today:  1535 + 434 years = 1969. I think that i may have been corrected, by a witness1 here, that the Knesset might have gave the order in September of 1968 that would set up a governmental agency to restore and to rebuild the old City of Jerusalem. These materials from Israel's own website will show that not only was the company established in 1969, but specifically JANUARY 1969. I couldn't find the actual day of the month. "The Company for the Reconstruction and Development of the Jewish Quarter in the Old City of Jerusalem Ltd. is the only fully government-owned company in the Jewish Quarter (100% of its shares are held by Israel’s Ministry of Construction). "The Company was established in the year 1969 following the liberation of Jerusalem, and it serves as an arm of the government for executing governmental policy in the Old City of Jerusalem. The Company is the primary lessee of 133 dunams of public land inside the walls of the Old City, and of another approximately 17,500 square meters outside the walls (in the City of David). - The Company was established in 1969 by the government of Israel.
- The Company was established in order to rehabilitate the Jewish Quarter and develop it as a national, religious, historical and cultural site, with an emphasis on its unique character.
- The rehabilitation of the Jewish Quarter took 16 years.
Company Profile – General Overview"After the Six-Day War, in April 1968 the State of Israel expropriated the Jewish Quarter in the Old City of Jerusalem, an area of approximately 134 dunams including the Western Wall plaza and the buildings inside. In July 1968, the government decided to create the Company for the Reconstruction and Development of the Jewish Quarter in the Old City of Jerusalem Ltd., and in January 1969 the Company was established. The Company was established with the purpose of developing and restoring the Jewish Quarter, which lay devastated and in ruins following the terrible damage done by the Jordanians when it fell to them in Israel’s War of Independence (1948). Areas of activity - The Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem1535 + 434 years = 1969. 1969 + 49 years = 2018. So with this, we are already on overtime. If nothing happens, i don't see how this plan can be pushed out for another year, another delay. Will i say in my heart that my Master is delayed? I don't know the actual Knesset day of the month, but for fun i'll put in January 21, 1969.  Or maybe i'm not counting correctly. Maybe the 49 years, 11 months and 16 days, will need to read an even 50. Isaac Newton did say that it was the "compass of a Jubilee". My "darkened" sun date counter is saying 7 days and 7 hours. www.timeanddate.com/countdown/eclipse?iso=20190106And still it's a Peaceful Sabbath. |

Hang in there Mike we have 6 years to go! What do you mean? How do you know? 6 years to go to what? More time to get ready? Time to build more pole barns? Time for a mail order bride? Previously Mike had said: "Dave honestly hope you are right. My 'gut' tells me the lunar eclipse will come and go without any major event. Maybe a new conflict could break out? Or Damascus is ruined? Something in Israel, but not our blessed hope, not yet " Thus, Mike was not solid in your (Dave's) conclusion. So I said in sporting fun: "Hang in there Mike we have 6 years to go!" Thus, 6 years to go until as Mike says, "our blessed hope." And, that is a drag because we do not want it to be 6 years but soon. |

EpiphanyAn epiphany (from the ancient Greek ἐπιφάνεια, epiphaneia, "manifestation, striking appearance") is an experience of a sudden and striking realization. Generally the term is used to describe scientific breakthrough, religious or philosophical discoveries, but it can apply in any situation in which an enlightening realization allows a problem or situation to be understood from a new and deeper perspective. Epiphanies are relatively rare occurrences and generally follow a process of significant thought about a problem. Often they are triggered by a new and key piece of information, but importantly, a depth of prior knowledge is required to allow the leap of understanding. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphany_(feeling)EpiphanyEpiphany, Little Christmas, or Three Kings' Day, is a Christian feast day that celebrates the revelation of God incarnate as Jesus Christ. In Western Christianity, the feast commemorates principally (but not solely) the visit of the Magi to the Christ Child, and thus Jesus' physical manifestation to the Gentiles. Moreover, the feast of the Epiphany, in some Western Christian denominations, also initiates the liturgical season of Epiphanytide. Eastern Christians, on the other hand, commemorate the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River, seen as his manifestation to the world as the Son of God.[7] Qasr el Yahud in the West Bank, and Al-Maghtas in Jordan on the east bank, is considered to be the original site of the baptism of Jesus and the ministry of John the Baptist.[8] The traditional date for the feast is January 6. However, since 1970, the celebration is held in some countries on the Sunday after January 1. Eastern Churches following the Julian calendar observe the feast on what for most countries is January 19[9] because of the 13-day difference today between that calendar and the generally used Gregorian calendar.[10] In many Western Christian Churches, the eve of the feast is celebrated as Twelfth Night.[11][12] The Monday after Epiphany is known as Plough Monday.[13] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphany_(holiday)In 2019, Epiphany falls on it's traditional date of January 6. On January 6 the sun will also be "darkened". www.timeanddate.com/countdown/eclipse?iso=20190106January will also see Martin Luther King Jr Day on the 21st of the month. On January 21 the blood red wolf moon will not give it's light. www.timeanddate.com/countdown/eclipse?iso=20190121 6: Epiphany, 21: Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I'm listening to this guy on video while i'm writing this note. I admire his enthusiasm. I hope he is well. Happy Lord's Day. |
