Dear Doves,
 
   The following is information about the current week at skyandtelescope.org through 12-8. "Three of the sky's finest star formations are climbing the southeastern sky. The Pleiades lead the way, then Jupiter with the Hyades, and magnificent Orion rounds out the group." The Pleiades are the 7 stars, called the seven sisters, which we associate with the 7 congregations in The Book of Revelation during the Church Age. Jupiter is "The King Planet" which was prominent as a sign in the heavens the previous period of 11-24 to 12-1. Jupiter is associated with Christ the King (The King of Kings and The Lord of Lords) and also with Israel as the chief or king of the Nations. About midnight beginning 12-7 Jupiter's Great Red Spot crossed Jupiter's meridian. Also on 12-7, Andromeda Galaxy has passed the zenith, its high point. On 12-8 in early evening Cassiopeia will be at its height in the north, and Vesta and Ceres are visible.
   How curious it is that signs in the sun, moon, planets, and stars in the week leading to Hanukkah Eve, Day 1, on 12-8 are spotlighting the 7 stars (congregations) of Pleiades, symbolic of the Dispensation of the Age of Grace and the "King Planet" of Jupiter representing Christ the King and Israel! As of 12-8 weekend, skyandtelescope.org will post the sky chart for about 12-9 to 16. Come quickly, Lord...
 
With Love and Shalom,
Jean
