Mira is a binary star consisting of two stars in the
constellation of Cetus (meaning “whale”) in the area in the
Southern sky known as the “Water” near other watery constellations
like Aquarius, Pisces, and Eridanus.
It was discovered in 1596.
1596h = treasure

The twin star, Mira B, was suspected as early as 1918.
1918h = Myrtle Tree
1919h = Hadassah
In a recent observation before “Mira” was
in the news, I had written on Aug 14, 2007:
Myrrh comes from the Myrrh tree
also called the Arabian Myrtle.
The Myrtle Tree (1918h) is the
basis for the name Hadassah (1919h).
3135g = Pearl
3136g = Martha
3137g = Mary (Miriam)
Miriam the word 4813h.
According to Strong’s
means “rebellion”.
MRYM (Miriam) --> MRY
(rebellion)
I don’t think so.
MRYM could be --> MR (Myrrh)
YM (Sea)
Interesting play on words…
Myrrh Sea = Mercy
Considering that Myrrh in
ancient times was worth more than it’s weight in gold, there is a value
associated with it.
The Mercy of God is as priceless
as a Sea of Myrrh.
Anyway… when I saw that the recent news was about MIRA,
I immediately saw the connection. Actually only by the name. It was
not until I decided to write about it that I even found:
·
It is a binary “Twin” star.
·
The Twin Star was suspected in 1918.
·
It sits in the area known as the “WATER”.
·
The discovery date in 1596 points to word for
TREASURE and first mentioned of when the decree was being issued to build the
house of God in Jerusalem.
The Myrrh Tree is often referred to as the “Tree of
TEARS”.
In Greek legend, the god Adonis,
the lover of Aphrodite, was born from a myrrh tree. Ovid describes how Adonis’
mother, Smyrna, was transform from a remorseful woman into this tree: “Although
along with her shape she has also lost her emotion, she cries, and hot tears
flow from the tree. The tears, too, have their honour – the myrrh
which drops from the wood carries the name of this lady, and she will always be
remembered.” However, Adonis is the Phoenician name of the Syrian
Attis, the son of the Great Goddess. The Babylonians burnt myrrh to her,
as did the Hebrews in the desert. Ultimately, the myrrh tree is the
manifestation of Astarte, the Queen of Heaven and Great Mother, and its beneficial
“milk” fits in with symbolism perfectly.

If you have not noticed the etymological equivalent to:
Astarte = Esther
Mira was also the star near the planet visited in the fictional
TV Series Star Trek episode, “This Side Of Paradise”.

The episode is between:
A Taste of Armageddon and The Devil in the Dark
It seems to me that I am being pointed back to the
scripture:
Jer 31:9-14
They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will
cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they
shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim [is] my firstborn. 10
Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare [it] in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel
will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd [doth] his flock. 11 For the LORD hath
redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of [him
that was] stronger than he. 12
Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow
together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and
for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a
watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all. 13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance,
both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and
will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow. 14 And I will satiate the soul of the priests
with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the
LORD.
