Doves,
It is amazing... again we are heading for the Passover ... what will be this time...?
May our Lord grant us His Grace by Grace...
We know from scripture the magnificence of the midnight hour...
Beginning at “Exodus” in Egypt... Midnight...
Exodus 11, 4 And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:
Exodus 12, 29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
Exodus 11, 4 And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:
here some more midnight “events” or “experiences”:
Judges 16, 3: And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before Hebron.
Job 34, 20: In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
1 Kings 3: And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.
Psalms 119, 62: At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.
In the New Testament:
Matthew 25, 6: And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Mark 13, 35: Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
Luke 11, 5: And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
Acts 16, 25: And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and
sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
26: And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken:
and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
Acts 20,
"6": And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened
bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.
"7": And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came
together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the
morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
"8": And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were
gathered together.
"9": And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus,
being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down
with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.
"10": And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said,
Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
"11": When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and
eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.
"12": And
they brought the young man alive, and were not a
little comforted.
Acts 27
"26": Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain
island.
"27": But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up
and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some
country;
"28": And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had
gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
"29": Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast
four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
"30": And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when
they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have
cast anchors out of the foreship,
"31": Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

this Lunar Eclipse will be around 23:21 GMT which is UTC time ...( so this eclipse is also in the Midnight hour... (Sabbath eve...already in the 8th day.....wow!!!))
now here is what spaceweather writes : http://www.spaceweather.com/
LUNAR ECLIPSE: Set aside some time this weekend for sky watching. On Saturday night, March 3rd, there's going to be a total lunar eclipse.
This weekend's eclipse will be visible from parts of all seven continents: map. Europe and Africa are favored. People there will see Earth's red shadow swallow the Moon for more than an hour around 23:21 GMT: animation.
Here in the United States, you have to be in the eastern half of the country to witness totality. At the end of the day on Saturday, go outside and face east. As the sun sets behind your back, a red Moon will rise before your eyes--fantastic! Maximum eclipse is at 6:21 p.m. EST.

Come Lord Jesus
