Shalom Phil and all Doves,
    Your input was very interesting.  Here's something I thought about.

    In 1492 Columbus sailed the Ocean Blue.....and America became the diasporah place from the time of the Temples Distruction at the time of Yahshua.
     This was after the Persian diaporah, but was just the same a great time of upheaval for the Jewish Nation.
     It is the reason for Columbus's journey, as he was sent away from the great European Nations.
     For 400 years America has been as intertwined with the Jewish People as the Persian Empire was in the days of the Prophets.  
     Is this a sign, that this era is coming to an end.  I think so.

Shalom,
Meriam Brown
