"You just go ahead," Moishe said to his wife Miriam. “While you look at some of the clothes in the store, I will go wander around the mall.” An hour later, Moishe returned and saw Miriam at the checkout counter. The clerk was ringing up the last of a massive pile of clothes. "Are you buying all this!?" Moishe asked Miriam. "Well, yes," she said, half embarrassed. Then waving her arm toward the rest of the store, she added, "But look at all of the clothes I'm leaving behind!"

Fifteen-year-old Shmueli Applebaum came home from Yeshiva and found his mother in bed. He asked if she was sick or something. He was truly concerned. Mom replied that, as a matter of fact, she didn't feel too well. Shmueli replied, "Well, don't worry a bit about dinner, Mom. I'll be happy to carry you down to the stove."

Mrs. Rosenstein was hired as the new librarian at the local Jewish school and one of the skills she wanted to teach the students was how to find information the old fashioned way – without the internet. So she found a deal on an encyclopedia set and had it delivered to the library. On a tour of the library, Moishe Shulman saw the encyclopedia volumes stacked on a bookshelf. "What are all these books?" Moishie asked. Somewhat surprised, the librarian replied that they were encyclopedias. "Really?" Moishe said. "Someone printed out the whole thing?"

I am not looking. I do not believe there are any more time prophecies in the Bible that can be known by man. I would also suggest that continuing to intensively search for any obscure prophecies to identify insignificant events happening today to be a serious waste of time that one could use for others and even for their very own self-examination to see if they are ready for the return of Jesus. The fact that you have been wrong should be a clue that your efforts are fruitless and are of no help to anyone. I also suspicion that "the dark side" grins. ("Excuse us while we grin! Mr. Blue.")

5 Things You Didn't Know About The Boston Massacre On the cold, snowy night of March 5, 1770, the Boston Massacre occurred when British soldiers in Boston opened fire on a group of American colonists. Here are 5 things you probably didn't know about the Boston Massacre... Tempers Rose Among the Colonists Because of One British Officer The streets had been crowded that day. The colonists hurled insults at the British soldiers, but things did not get serious until a barber’s apprentice taunted a British captain for not paying the bill for having his hair dressed. A sentinel followed after the boy and responded by striking him with the butt of his musket, and the boy left crying and told others what had happened. Later, an angry group found the man who had struck the boy, and the British soldiers began pushing back the crowd with bayonets and loaded and primed their weapons. The Altercation Began as a Snowball Fight Crowds of colonists began gathering and hurling taunts at the British soldiers who were guarding the Boston Customs House in protest of the British occupation of the city. The commanding officer, Captain Thomas Preston, ordered his men to fix bayonets to support the guard stationed outside. The colonists began hurling snowballs, stones, and sticks at the British soldiers, who then began poking the colonists with their bayonets. One British private, Hugh Montgomery, was struck and he fired into the crowd with other soldiers joining in. It Wasn’t Always Called the Boston Massacre The first popular name for the incident was “The Bloody Massacre,” which was the title of an engraving by Paul Revere. During the early 1800s, it was referred to as the State Street Massacre. It wasn’t until many years later that it became known as the Boston Massacre. Many Consider the Colonists’ Deaths as the First of the American Revolution The five colonists who were killed that day were Crispus Attucks, a black and Native American stevedore; Patrick Carr, a 30-year-old man in the leather business; Samuel Gray, a rope maker; and Samuel Maverick and James Caldwell who were both 17-years-old. Some historians regard the deaths of these men as the first of the American Revolutionary War fatalities. John Adams Defended the Accused British Soldiers John Adams, the future second president of the United States and one of its founding fathers, along with Josiah Quincy, a brother of the prosecutor, defended the eight British soldiers accused of murder. The soldiers were tried separately. In the first trial, the soldier was not only acquitted, but it was the first time that a judge had used the term “reasonable doubt.” Six out of the eight soldiers were acquitted of the charge, and the other two were found guilty of manslaughter and their thumbs were branded with an “M” for murder.

Forgiveness of sins

Sometimes, modern day prophecy watchers delve so deeply that they see things that aren't really there.

JoeMo, it is easier to look at a prophecy fulfilled 500 years ago and know what it meant than to see one that is to be fulfilled tomorrow with such clarity.
