This Year’s Finest Conjunction: Venus and Jupiter Two brightest planets Venus and Jupiter come as close as a third of a degree apart as seen from North America.

Revelation Truth - Final Warning! Welcome to the Book of Concord How the Passover Reveals Jesus Christ Introduction The festival of the Passover has been celebrated by Jews for thousands of years. Passover symbolism Much of the symbolism of Jesus' last Passover week is lost to us because we are unaware of the customs of the time. For example, Jesus came into the city of Jerusalem five days before the lamb was killed in the temple as the Passover sacrifice for the sins of the people of Israel. Five days before the lamb was to be sacrificed, it was chosen. Passover sacrifice The day Jesus was crucified was the day of the Passover celebration and the day that the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed. Burial The festival of unleavened bread began Friday evening (at sunset). Resurrection Christian symbolism in the Passover occurs early in the Seder (the Passover dinner). Christian communion Conclusion If you are a Christian, I encourage you to celebrate the Passover with your friends and neighbors. Cómo la Pascua Revela a Jesucristo References
Time The flow of sand in an hourglass can be used to keep track of elapsed time. It also concretely represents the present as being between the past and the future. Time is a dimension in which events can be ordered from the past through the present into the future,[1][2][3][4][5][6] and also the measure of durations of events and the intervals between them.[3][7][8] Time has long been a major subject of study in religion, philosophy, and science, but defining it in a manner applicable to all fields without circularity has consistently eluded scholars.[3][7][8][9][10][11] Nevertheless, diverse fields such as business, industry, sports, the sciences, and the performing arts all incorporate some notion of time into their respective measuring systems.[12][13][14] Some simple, relatively uncontroversial definitions of time include "time is what clocks measure"[7][15] and "time is what keeps everything from happening at once".[16][17][18][19] Temporal measurement and history[edit] World time[edit]
