All I ever learned at school was the bell rang to start and rang again to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Dark skies" mean night skies without "light pollution" - the glow from artificial light in the atmosphere that prevents us from seeing all but the brightest stars.

Not related, I know, Nebula....but have you downloaded the new version of Google Earth yet, which also now incorporates Google Sky? You can zoom out around the universe now, as well as viewing just the earth. It is free. You just need to download the new version (Earth 4.2) Just thought you might be interested, since you are into these kind of things Here is a link, which has a short video clip showing what is on offer: http://earth.google.com/sky/skyedu.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are places in Arizona where you can still get far enough away from the city lights to see most of the stars. The Outback is good too! Haven't been back to Australia in years, but would like to. Another place for good seeing is on a boat 60 or more miles at sea. Then its great seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed reading your dialogue. With regard to our friendly skies... Our focus on 9/11 comes from the appearance of the seventh new moon. The seventh new moon is the time of salvation... that is what God set in motion via Moses. It is not a coincidence that God's people looked to the sky to wait for the appearance of the seventh new moon (to begin the Feast of Trumpets)... and today, God's people look to the same lunar signal for salvation. This is what Trumpets speaks of: salvation. It is not an abomination to look to the sky (moon) for divine understanding. God required his people to do so. How else could they know when to start the Feast of Trumpets? It is not a coincidence that Paul referred to the last trumpet... and the last trumpet sounds on the Feast of Trumpets. It is not a coincidence that our celestial signs include the blood red moon and the celestial sign for Trumpets was the seventh new moon. We are to look to sky... to the appearance of the seventh new moon... the one that will turn blood red marks our salvation!! More Scriptures... THE LAW OF MOSES, THE PROPHETS, AND THE PSALMS Regarding divine prophecy, Christ said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is impossible to separate the two... and for very good reason. GOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
