225 killed as Israel rains fire on Hamas in the Gaza Strip

At 11:30 a.m., more than 50 fighter jets and attack helicopters swept into Gazan airspace and dropped more than 100 bombs on 50 targets. The planes reported "alpha hits," IAF lingo for direct hits on the targets, which included Hamas bases, training camps, headquarters and offices.

Thirty minutes later, a second wave of 60 jets and helicopters struck at 60 targets, including underground Kassam launchers - placed inside bunkers and missile silos - that had been fitted with timers.

Rosh Chodesh Tevet

New/ Head of Month = Tevet the 10th month

(Babylonian meaning = Good (from “Tov”); Biblical theme = Divine Grace ~ the 2nd of 4 months without harvesting)

On the 1st of Tevet (TODAY, 12/28/08), Yechoniah, King of Yehudah, was exiled together with the Sages and the nobility, members of the family of royalty, of Yerushalayim {See the terrible events that followed in the notes below for ‘Rosh Chodesh Tevet’}. The day was not however designated as a public fast day. In Ezra 10:16, on the 1st of Tevet/ the 10th month, the matter of Ezra 9:1-10:17 was examined {“not separating themselves from the people of the lands, and are doing according to their abominations”; ‘daugthers’ & ‘strange wives’ is a biblical term for pagan rituals/ religions… what we commonly see today in paganized Christianity ~ this is the pig-pen condition of Prodigal Ephraim.}

Est. 2:16, Psm. 51:17, Num. 10:10, Deut. 6:3-9 & Lev. 19:18, Matt. CH. 6, & Num. 6:24-26.

Also, the Shemoneh Esreh/ the Eighteen Blessings



Night Eight: John 3:1-8 & 12-21, 1 John 1:5-9, Philippians 2:14-16, 2 Sam 22:1-3, & 17-33 (or Psm. Ch. 18)

Rosh Chodesh Tevet = the 10th month

‘A Month of Anguish’: During the month of Tevet, 3 fast days are observed, the 8th, 9th, and 10th of the month {Jan 4th, 5th, & 6th 2009 respectively}, in commemoration of the 3 major calamities which befell the People of Yisrael. The fast days of the 8th and 9th of Tevet are called ‘fast-days-for-the-righteous’, as on these days, only individuals who choose to, fast, whereas the fast of the 10th of Tevet is a public fast obligating the entire Jewish {and those who join to YHWH as in Isa. 56 & in Zech. 8:18} community. As it is said (Lev. 26) ‘And they shall confess their transgressions and the transgressions of their fathers.’ (Rambam: Hilchot Ta’anit Ch. 5) WHAT HAPPENED?: On the 8th of Tevet, at the beginning of the “Greek Era”, the Torah was translated into Greek by the decree of King Ptolemy, in about the year 313 BCE, according to the Bayit Sheni Timeline presented in the Chanukah Section, which locates the date of the Destruction of the First Temple in 423 BCE. This corresponds to the approximate year of 476 BCE, according to the alternate timeline which locates the Destruction at 586 BCE. That day was regarded as equally calamitous for Yisrael as the day on which the Golden Calf was made, since it is impossible to adequately translate the Torah. The Translation of the Seventy was completed on the 8th of Tevet (Ptolemy’s isolation of 72 Elders to translate the Torah {As the history tells, Ptolemy wanted to prove that the Torah was man-made by requiring each of the 72 Elders to be isolated from one another and accurately translate the Torah from Hebrew into Greek. Instead it was proved that the Torah was indeed written by YHWH in that all 72 Elders translated each word of Torah into the very same Greek words as each of the other Elders! This is where YHWH used what the enemy meant for evil for His perfect purposes… furthermore, these translations make it possible to find where the ‘lying pen of the scribes’ have purposely mistranslated parts of the “New Testament” in favor of a Torahless Messiah & the “church” replacing Israel. Only YHWH could do all that with such foresight!}). Moving backwards in time, the 9th of Tevet commemorates the death of both Ezra the Scribe and Nechemia, two of our greatest leaders, who faithfully led Yisrael during the return from Babylonian captivity... It is said of him that had the Torah not been given to Yisrael through Moshe, it would have been given to Yisrael through Ezra. On the 10th of Tevet (Asara B'Tevet עשרה בטבת/ Fast commemorating the siege of Jerusalem. [more from ou.org...]), Nevuchadnetzar, King of Babylonia, laid siege to Yerushalayim (2 Ki. 25). In modern Yisrael, the 10th of Tevet has been designated as Yom Hakaddish Haklali – the day on which we mourn those whose date or place of death is unknown. On the 1st of Tevet, Yechoniah, King of Yehudah, was exiled together with the Sages and the nobility, members of the family of royalty, of Yerushalayim. The day was not however designated as a public fast day. [from: www.ou.org/chagim/roshchodesh/tevet/defualt.htm ]
