Doves:

The Jewish day begins at sundown (6:00 p.m.) and the 3rd watch
begins at midnight.

FROM:

First Watch -- the evening (6:00 - 9:00 p.m.)
Second Watch -- at midnight (9:00 - midnight)
Third Watch -- at the crowing of the rooster (midnight - 3:00 a.m.)
Fourth Watch -- the morning watch (3:00 - 6:00 a.m.)

There are 360 minutes from 6:00 p.m. tomidnight.  Is that time period
(the same as the number of days in a Jewish year) MEANT to be
SIGNIFICANT!!!???  Jerusalem Day, 2003 was 360 days ago this week...

   Time calculation
   From: Thursday, May 29, 2003 (Jerusalem Day)
   to: Sunday, May 23, 2004
   It is 360 days between those dates

....and took on a VERY SAD AND SOMBER TONE if you were a Jew!!!
The following is an INCREDIBLE ARTICLE FROM ONE YEAR AGO THIS
WEEK and may be another sign that WE HAVE REACHED MIDNIGHT!!!!

Jerusalem Day - will the Road Map cancel it out?
By Stan GoodenoughJerusalem - May 29, 2003

It was just 36 years ago today in Jewish and world history that an event of
seismic magnitude took place in what for millennia had been known as the
center of the earth.

Foretold by ancient prophets, spoken of by Jesus, yearned and prayed for
by generations of Jews around the world, the reunification of the city of
Jerusalem, and the return to Jewish control of its Old City - in particular
its Temple Mount - was a truly earth-shaking occurrence.

When the Israel Defense Forces won their unprecedented Six Day War
in 1967 and drove the Arab occupiers out of their beloved Jerusalem,
they ended nearly 2000 years of gentile domination over the city.

Photographers captured images of battle-hardened soldiers standing at
last in front of the Western Wall that buttresses their holiest site, tears
of joy streaming down their faces.

Israel had finally come home.

For the past 36 years, the Jewish people have joyously celebrated
their return to Jerusalem, and Jerusalem's return to them.

But all this threatens to be changed again forever if the Arab nation
and its international allies have their way.

Jerusalem Day is typically celebrated by parades and mass street
celebrations in the city, with smiling crowds of Jews commemorating
the realization of their 2,000-year-old dream.

This year's festivities, however, are being held under the shadow
of the "Quartet Road Map to Middle East peace," more accurately
known as the "Road Map to Palestine" - a never-before-existent
state which wants to usurp both Israel's land and irreversibly re-divide
Jerusalem, placing its eastern half back under despotic Arab rule.

From 1948 to 1967, when the Jordanians illegally occupied eastern
Jerusalem, Jews were forbidden to set foot inside the ancient walls of
the city once ruled by the mighty Israelite kings, much less approach
the Temple Mount. Synagogues throughout the city were sacked and
turned into stables or refuse heaps. Jewish gravestones were used to
pave the paths to Arab latrines.

If this recent history, together with life for Jews in Arab states to this
day, plus the numerous statements by Arab intellectuals, scholars,
clerics and leaders denying all past Jewish ties to the city - if these
examples tell us anything, it is that conditions in a Palestinian ruled
Jerusalem will certainly revert to what they once were, or worse.

Arabs seem to take sadistic delight in humiliating Jews by denying
them access to the ritual places they hold dear. And Islam teaches
that the Muslim religion has overtaken Judaism and Christianity, and
that places special to Jews and Christians have become the sacred
trust of Allah.

In its current form, the Road Map does not lay out a final solution for
Jerusalem. World powers recognize that the city is a potential stumbling
block to any peace process, and so have deferred discussion on its
future to later in the day, once the Palestinian state has been established.

But already, just the fact that this peace plan puts sovereignty over the
city on the negotiating table undermines the Jews' historic and biblical
claim to their capital.

The Oslo debacle provides ample warning that, without rock solid resolve
by Israel that control over Jerusalem simply isn't up for debate, erosive
pressure on the Jewish state to negotiate away its rule will weaken, and
finally crumble their claim.

Despite "international guarantees," Jerusalem was torn down the middle
and bound up in violence from 1948 to 1967.

International guarantees today, whether they bear George Bush's seal or
that of Jacques Chirac, will secure nothing for the Jews.

In the current world climate, with the enormous determination on the part
of the Quartet to draw and quarter Israel and its capital, every day that
passes exponentially increases the peril.

Unless Israel wants to be left looking back on a four-decade anomaly during
which Jewish rule was briefly restored to the city, only to be torn away once
more - this time forever - now is the time to declare, I would say to legislate,
that no speculation on Jerusalem's future will ever be countenanced as part
of any Middle East peace deal.

There is truly not a moment to lose.

P.S.

A "spiritual" connection???

The above article was written during the month of May, 2003.  Sunday
afternoon (5/23/04), I heard that there had been "81" tornadoes which,
I assumed, have occurred over the weekend Friday - Sunday.  It has been
particularly bad in the Midwest.

FROM:
http://www.cnn.com/2004/WEATHER/05/23/tornado.death.ap/index.html

   Saturday's tornadoes capped two days of severe weather that knocked
   out power to hundred of thousands of people in Nebraska, Iowa, West
   Virginia, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Michigan authorities blamed
   three deaths on the storm -- all due to trees falling on cars Friday.

This marks the 55th week anniversary of the week of record tornadoes
which hit the central part of the U.S. from Sunday, May 4th through
Saturday, May 10th, 2003.

   Time calculation
   From: Sunday, May 4, 2003
   to: Sunday, May 23, 2004
   It is 385 days between those dates
   55 X 7 = 385
   55 = gematria of "bride"

Our (the U.S.') involvement in the "Road Map" basically legitimized it to
the rest of the world.  Has it REALLY helped conditions so far as the
Palestinians and the rest of the Arabs are concerned?  Not really.  We
received signs during the month of May, 2003 which may have been a
warning!!!  One year "plus" is now up!!!!

"'Week of Tornadoes' during ROAD MAP discussions"
