The End of MWM

Greetings all,

Letting everyone know that after somewhere around 28 years, when our annual hosting expires on 08/24/2025, Millennium Weekend Ministries we will not be renewing. Lack of interest for the past many years makes it clear to Esther and me that it does not make any sense to continue to keep the site running.

Many thanks to the handful of folks that have stuck it out with us. Perhaps very soon we shall all meet when we hear the glorious voice of our Savior calling us home to the Father's house. Certainly any who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ alone for their salvation, repenting with a "broken and contrite heart" (Ps 34:18 and 51:17) will find mercy and will indeed be caught up together to meet our Savior in the air.

What a glorious day that will be.

In Christ alone,
Andy

  • Rare stargazing opportunity for Californians

    http://www.skyandtelescope.com/obser.../89690067.html

    For millions of people next Monday night/early Tuesday morning, April 5-6, 2010, the naked-eye star Zeta (ζ) Ophiuchi will be occulted for up to 8 seconds when a passing asteroid, 824 Anastasia, blocks it from view. The 25-mile-wide path for seeing this event goes right over the Los Angeles region at about 3:34 a.m. PDT, then up through parts of Nevada, Idaho, western Montana, and finally almost right over the cities of Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta, around 4:40 a.m. MDT.
    By going to the web site you can find a star map to know which star to be looking at. I’m kinda jealous, this is a cool thing to watch … hope you all have clear skies!

              I called the AAVSO the amateur org and they did say that lots of big telescopes are going to be watching the event...... someone may even see a planet around that star....

              I've had trouble seeing the outlines of those constilations too.......

              maybe if Obama will pass legislation requiring the night sky to show them---after all, he's mandating ""Change""

                DON’T GIVE EM IDEAS! We could end up with a new constellation Mt. Rushmore style!

                  Thank you for the chart Boston.

                  I don't know Astronomy, but have read and 'audio'd'd' some Believers
                  that look at such things. There are a few that refer to LEO-the-Lion
                  and the Virgo-female and (Sorry i don't know the name except but as;
                  The Crab-( a bad-guy-sign ).

                  Any way* some where or' the next 48months or so , there is supposed
                  to be an alignment where the 'Crab is going to attack the Virgo and
                  Leo the Lion will move into position to intercept/battle (?).

                  Is there a web-site that ( is simple 4 moi` ) to show those changes as
                  the months go by?

                  Thanks to those who are into Astronomy for your postings.

                  BE BLESS't


                  bbl

                  p.s. i had a definate impression of what the 1st-Posted Chart (?Might) look
                  like , the instant i 1st saw it.

                    Be very careful in this area, it’s a major counterfeit zone by the enemy with the astrology stuff. My Dad was an optical engineer so I grew up with telescopes and stars, my other Dad made them (the stars). With that I have always had an interest and read up on a lot of both the stargazing and the Biblical ideas.

                    A lot of Christians take and 100% hostile view toward any talk of bible and the stars for fear of the astrology warnings in the Old Testament. I personally don’t find that “balanced” especially with the magi and “signs in the heavens” but it is a good thing to walk with respect in this area.

                    A general rule of thumb is: the counterfeit elevates man and the true elevates Jesus (not just “god” but Jesus)

                    Bottom line: Take any bible star stuff with a truck load of salt.

                    the best are the ones for kids, I still use them
