Readers -

the first week of 12/97 had a spectacular planetary alignment visible
from earth, which i saw out my back deck. since all this other stuff
from God was happening then, i supposed it to be important.

here is some text i saved about it from "ask the Astronomer".

"Are there any real alignments? Absolutely. At the beginning of
December 1997, Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn could easily be seen
arching across the sky like a string of pearls. This kind alignment is
known as a conjunction. A conjunction is where 2 or more celestial
objects are very close to another."

and this from CNN

"Moon, 8 planets line up for sky show

December 1, 1997

MIAMI (AP) -- "The moon and eight of the planets will be lined up in
the sky this week "like pearls on a string" in a sight that won't be
visible again from Earth for at least another century.

"Beginning Monday night and continuing through December 8, the planets
will appear in the southwestern sky in a line slanting upward from the
horizon. From west to east, Pluto will be followed by Mercury, Mars,
Venus, Neptune, Uranus, Jupiter and Saturn, with a crescent moon
alongside.

"He said the planets will be similarly aligned in May 2000, but they
will be so close to the sun that they won't all be visible from Earth.
Horkheimer said a computer analysis showed it will be at least another
100 years before so many planets will be so close and so visible."

*************

checking the planet alignment with the constellations produced the
following interesting format. this matches the Twins or Bracketing
format i've been writing about for the last 5 years, including the
posts this week. it also matches Bob Ware's Twin Prime timeline of
which 2004 is the center year.

the alignment is as follows. note that i have placed the Genesis 5
Patriarchs with their corresponding planets.

Kenan 4 Mars was in Sagitarius
Mahalalel 5 Jupiter was in Capricorn
Jared 6 Saturn was in Pisces
Enoch 7 Uranus was in Capricorn
Methuselah 8 Neptune was in Sagitarius

Sagitarius     Capricorn     Pisces     Capricorn      Sagitarius

notice Jared is the center.
