Dear Fivedoves,
RE: http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/jan2007/denish116.htm
Denis Hart, thank you so much for your letter!
This is really amazing!
Here is the verse Denis mentioned:
(Amplified Bible):
Isaiah 41, Verse 25: I have raised up and impelled to action one from the north [Cyrus], and he comes; from the rising of the sun he calls upon My name [recognizing that his victories have been granted to him by Me]. And he shall tread upon rulers and deputies as upon mortar and as the potter treads clay. [He comes with the suddenness of a comet, but none of the idol oracles of the nations has anticipated it.]

Yes, “the suddenness of a comet”...
....quote from http://www.spaceweather.com/index.cgi (View archives: January 07, 2007):
BRIGHTENING COMET: Comet McNaught (C/2006 P1) is plunging toward the Sun and brightening dramatically...
Surely many other comets in past have been known longer time before... or a return could be calculated (Halley etc...)..
As mentioned: McNaught discovered the comet on Aug 7, 2006 ....
the above quote from January 07, 2007 was just ...153 days later....
This photo is showing the dramatic brightening :

Now remember: January 6, The festival of Epiphany :
(Epiphany: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_Magi
“the three kings on camelback following the star ...: http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/christianity/holydays/epiphany.shtml )
Church liturgical readings from Matthew chapter 2:
“...Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him...”
“...When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy....”
I searched in the web to find perhaps more about
Isaiah 41, Verse 25 (Denis mentioned)
I found this:

The Sunday after Epiphany (this year January 7)
is called
“The Baptism of the Lord”
The Church liturgical readings for that day are e.g. from Isaiah 42, or Isaiah 43,
...close to 41, 25. Amazing....
Well,
Unfortunately I (here in germany) could not see the comet ....because of clouds ...every day clouds
unusual warm weather....
(many astronomers here have been very unhappy .... L )
(“Clouds”: surely : Behold, he cometh with clouds... (Revelation 1, 7))
Now there are good news for our “doves” in “Southern hemisphere” ...

GREAT COMET: "Here in Argentina, Comet McNaught is a real hit. It's a wonderful sight after sunset," reports Mariano Ribas of Buenos Aires. "The comet's magnitude is around -3, and its bright and curved tail is easy to see with the naked eye: image."
The comet is widely visible from all parts of the Southern Hemisphere. This Jan. 16th picture comes from Grahame Kelaher of Sydney, Australia:

details: Canon 20D, 300mm lens, f/5.6, ISO 200, ~1 sec exposure
Rewind to Jan. 13th: Comet McNaught flew past the sun even closer than Mercury. Fierce heat puffed up the comet, making it visible in broad daylight. Anyone who saw the comet in blue sky knew it was going to be good when it emerged from the glare, and now it is living up to the hype.
Comet McNaught is no longer visible from the northern hemisphere, but it should remain a spectacular fixture in sunset skies of the south for weeks to come. Stay tuned!
Yes the signs are everywhere how close we are to the end...
...to our Lord’s coming...
and to the one who comes in his own name...
This news was from January 10, amazing too: http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/jan2007/loua115.htm
