This particular month of August 2014 only comes around every 823 years supposedly will we be privileged to see it as something that is extremely rare. The Chinese call it Silver Pockets. This month will have in it 5 Fridays, 5 Saturday's and 5 Sundays that is something I've never seen before. AUGUST 2014 Sun Mon Tues Wed Thur Fri Sat 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 91o 11 12 13 14 15 1617 18 19 20 21 22 2324 25 26 27 28 29 3o31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every day is a Blessing. Col 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. Col 2:9 For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, Col 2:10 and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority.

Certainly a more biblical topic than astrology? "Silver" is an interesting word study. From the Law the silver temple coin was redemption (or blood) money; with Joseph and he pit it was the price paid so his brothers would not have blood on their hands; and Judas declares as he throws the pieces of silver on the ground "I have betrayed innocent blood". Silver seems to be frequently related to blood and redemption. Regarding the tabernacle, the outer court's furnishings were brass which relates to judgment- the brass altar and laver, and the fence posts rested on brass sockets. But once inside the court, the rest of the tabernacle building rested on silver sockets. So, as you approach from afar, you see nothing but the white fence- His righteousness supported by His judgment; then once inside through the one gate, you progress past the sacrifice and washing and then are you eligible to enter His presence in the Holy Place which rests on His blood. That's the summary version... Every aspect of the tabernacle speaks of Christ, and it's one of the most fascinating studies to undertake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do not think it makes any real difference in my life how many Fridays, Saturdays, Or Sundays are in a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was interesting is all when I read it. There was no history or background given in the information that was sent to me. Just that it was a rare occassion and that the Chinese called it Silver Pockets. My apologies if the information was incorrect. But I would not have known that if I wouldn't have shared it Also I want to make it abundantly clear that I do not believe in, nor dabble in, nor promote astrology in any way shape or form. So if some got the idea I was that it not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
