Dear Doves,

 

   When we count forward from the beginning of Cheshvan 17 (month 2, day 17) on Cheshvan 16 at sunset on 10-20, a period of 40 nights and days, the segment of "The Days of Noah" when the rains fell, we arrive at Hanukkah Eve. This will also be Thanksgiving Day Eve at sunset on 11-27-2013.This begins Anniversary Day 40. These were days "when they knew not" and the "flood came and took them all away" during "The Days of Noah" we read about in Genesis. The number 40 is a very significant marker for periods of 40 days or years in The Scriptures. Will those departing to Mount. Zion, the people of The Blessed Hope, have a final 40 days for preparation, trials, testing, and warning to flee the wrath to come?

 

With Love and Shalom,

Jean
