The 1st
Israeli space pilot
~
Genesis 15:5 (King James Version)
5And he brought him (Abraham) forth
abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to
number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed
be.
Abraham & the Israeli Space
Pilot
What does the name Ilan Ramon mean to you? Did you know
that he was the first Israeli Astronaut?
Did you know that he was a pilot on the U.S. Space Shuttle
Columbia? Do you remember when this Shuttle blew up, killing the seven
(7) Astronauts, including Ilan Ramon?
February 1st 2003
This happened six (6) years ago. Six is the number
for man.
He was age 48 when he died. The first thing to come
to mind in regards to 48 & Israel is the rebirth of the Nation in
1948. All of this of course relates to Abraham, the land promise and the
“stars of the heavens” promise.
Here is the gematria for 48: 48 + Majesty/Greatness + Star + Strength/Wealth +
Joy/Rejoicing + Jubile/Ram's Horn + All riches (Ord) + I will open (Ord) +
Wall/Rampart + By him/Through him + Measure + Agate + Ornament + Axe (Ord) +
East/Sunrise (Ord) + God Almighty (Ord) + Our God (Ord) + Heat + Hope +
Increase/Fruit + Marrow
And, do you know what Ilan’s name means in Hebrew (it is a
Hebrew name)?
Tree. As in Tu B’ Shevat tree? Yes.
(ref: Tu B’ Shevat: http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/jan2009/tonye129.htm)
Further, this man
was born in Beersheba.
This is where
Abraham was here in scripture after the near sacrifice of his son
Isaac:
Genesis
22:18-20 (King James Version)
18And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth
be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
19So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and
went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
20And it came to pass after these things, that it was told
Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother
Nahor;
Ilan’s
personal life notes (ref:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilan_Ramon):
Ilan’s mother and
grandmother were survivors of the Auschwitz concentration camps.
He fought in the
1973, Yom Kippur War
In
1981, he took part in the IAF mission that
destroyed a nuclear reactor in Iraq.
He was a “secular”
Jew, although he sought to have kosher foods, observe the Sabbath, and took the
Torah with him in space. He took with him a drawing from a child from the
Auschwitz concentration camps entitled “Moon Landscape.”
Miraculously, his
37- page journal survived the crash. He wrote on the last day of the
journal:
“Today was the
first day I felt I was truly living in space. I have become a man who lives and
works in space.”
Inscribed in black
ink and pencil, it covered only the first six (6) days of the 16
day mission. His journal papers remained white, not charred, from an explosion
that occurred 37 miles above earth.
At his memorial,
Rabbi Konikov uttered the words “Jerusalem, we have a problem…”
God rest his soul,
and bless his family, still surviving him.
Space
Shuttle Columbia, Mission: STS-107
Columbia is a name
after Christopher Columbus.
Also, Columba is a small, faint constellation created in
the sixteenth century. Its name is Latin for dove.
Mission STS-107 was the 113th Space
Shuttle launch. It was delayed 18 times over the two years from its original
launch date of January 11, 2001 to its actual launch date of January 16, 2003.
(It was preceded by STS-113.)
Insignia:
The
constellation Columba (the dove) was chosen to
symbolize peace on
Earth and the Space Shuttle Columbia. The seven stars also represent the mission
crew members and honor the original astronauts who paved the way to make
research in space possible. Six stars have five points, the seventh has six
points like a Star of David, symbolizing
the Israeli Space Agency's contributions to the mission.
An
Israeli flag is
adjacent to the name of Payload Specialist Ramon, who
was the first Israeli in space.
Columba is supposed to represent Noah’s dove, sent out from
the Ark to find dry land, and which returned with an olive branch in its beak, a
sign that the Flood was at last subsiding. But those familiar with the story of Argo might
instead think of it as the dove sent by the Argonauts between the Clashing Rocks
to ensure their safe passage. The constellation’s brightest star,
third-magnitude Alpha Columbae, is called Phact, from an Arabic name meaning
‘ring dove’.
