"Watch notes for February 2nd - 4th"


I really have no clue what will happen, but I’ll have my eyes to the sky and ears to the ground waiting and watching to see what happens:

February 2nd - 3rd Sabbath

·        Candlemas Day – Purification of the Virgin, Historic Christian feast day.  Purification of the Virgin Mary and the presentation of the infant Jesus in the Temple.  Candlemas marked the end of the Christmas and Epiphany season.  40 days after Christmas and the 33rd day of the year.  Reference:  Luke 2:22  22When the time of their purification according to the Law of Moses had been completed, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord.”  Simeon the Righteous (also Simeon the Elder, Simeon the God-Receiver, or Holy Simeon) is the "just and devout" man of Jerusalem who, according to Luke 2:25-35, met the Virgin Mary and Jesus as they entered the Temple to fulfill the requirements of the Law of Moses on the fortieth day from Jesus' birth.  The events in the life of Saint Simeon the Righteous are observed on both 2 February and 3 February. The observances of the first day center around memorializing the act of Mary undergoing an act of ritual purification, and presenting Jesus, her child, to the Temple. The events of the latter day are to observe the death of Saint Simeon, who according to the tradition was allowed to die after seeing the Christ (or Messiah) born of a virgin.

·        JERUSALEM – The replacement tomorrow  (February 2nd) in the Al Aqsa Mosque of a key podium transported with the coordination of Israeli security forces is "proof" the Temple Mount belongs only to Muslims and will never be returned to Jewish sovereignty, according to the leader of the Wafq – the Muslim custodians of the Temple Mount.

Super Bowl Sunday February 4rd

·        Two Christian men & both are the first Afro American men to coach in the SuperBowl, both very close friends who share their faith.

·        40 SuperBowls have taken place.  This will be the 41st.  Significance in the number 40.

·        In NFL ProFootball world this is still the year of 2006, as the SuperBowl Champion will be the 2006 season champion.

·        Prince will be performing at halftime (signifying the “false prince” of this world?  Or ushering in a new true prince of this world?)

·        Prince is known for his song “1999” – end of an age song

·        Prince wears purple for royalty and is also known for his song Purple Rain.

Blessings,

Tony
