I had not seen this until today.

 

Hurricane Rita hit landfall on 9/24/2005.

 

Rita means “Pearl”. 

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Rita

 

It was the earliest 17th named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season.  Only once before since the naming of hurricanes has “R” been used for hurricane Roxanne in 1995.   The other 17th named storm was in 1969 named hurricane Martha.

 

Interestingly:

 

3135g = Pearl

3136g = Martha

 

Roxanne means “Star”.

 

Esther means “Star”. 

 

Esther is the 17th book of the bible.

Esther is the Strong’s Hebrew #635.

 

9/24/2005 to 7/24/2007 = 669 days (inclusive)

9/24/2005 to 7/25/2007 = 669 days

 

669h = Ephraim

 

Jer 31:18-22  I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself [thus]; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed [to the yoke]: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou [art] the LORD my God.  19  Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon [my] thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.  20  [Is] Ephraim my dear son? [is he] a pleasant child? for since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the LORD.  21  Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the highway, [even] the way [which] thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.  22  How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.
