Wow, Marilyn Agee, Michelle K, the Geminids and the Jews Appear in the Holyland of Israel

                    


                    
Hi Marilyn, Michelle and All Doves,


                        
 
                                 "The appearance of
                          this meteor shower seems to have been
                          fairly sudden during

                          the 1860s. It was first noted in 1862, when R.
                          P. Greg (Manchester, England) found a radiant
                          in the constellation Gemini for

                          the period of December 10-12. B. V. Marsh and
                          A. C. Twining (United States) independently
                          discovered the activity around the same time.
                          A. S. Herschel noted meteors emanating from
                          Gemini during December 12/13, 1863, as well as
                          three fireballs from near the same radiant in
                          1863 and 1864. During the 1870s, observations
                            of the Geminids became more numerous as
                            astronomers realized a new annual shower was
                            active.


                        
     
                             "The first estimate of the
                            strength of the Geminids came in 1877,
                          when the hourly rate was given as about 14.
                          The same rate was also given by observers in
                          England during 1892, but it was noted that
                          almost twice as many bright meteors were
                          present than had been seen in 1877. In 1896,
                          English observers gave hourly rates near 23
                          and also observed "a
                                number of bright pale green meteors...."


                    
-the
                        principal color of islam is pale green, there's
                        the appearance of the pale green horse


                    
   
                           Towards the end of the Ottoman era in Palestine,
                      native Jewish communities lived primarily in the
                      four 'holy cities' ofSafed, Tiberias, Hebron and Jerusalem. The

                      Jewish population consisted of Ashkenazim
                      (Judeo-German speakers) and Sephardim, the latter
                      of which could be further subdivided as Sephardim
                      proper (Judeo-Spanish speakers) and Moghrabim
                      (Arabic speakers). By 1862, the majority
                      of Jews in the four holy cities, with the
                      exception of Jerusalem, were Arabicand Judaeo-Spanish speakers. The
                      dominant language among Jews in Jerusalem
                      was Yiddish, due to the large
                      migration of pious Ashkenazi Jews from Russia and Eastern
                        Europe. Still, in 1877 there were 7,620
                        Sephardim counted in Jerusalem, of whom
                      1,290 were Moghrabim, from the Maghreb or
                      North Africa. Natives of the city, they were
                      Turkish subjects, and fluent in
                      Arabic. Arabic also served as the lingua
                      franca between the Sephradim/Moghrabim and
                      Ashkenazim and their non-Jewish Arab counterparts
                      in mixed cities like Safed and Hebron.


                      
 
                                    There
                            are several processes going on here, which
                            includes the birth of modern Israel, the
                            rise of radical stateless islam and the
                            coming end times focused upon Chanukah
