Good morning, brothers and sisters in Christ! I found this very interesting article about the new French President today and had to share it with you! Many things in the article caught my attention, but this one especially:
A weekly newsmagazine’s cover called him “Jupiter.” The hyperbole has been widely mocked. But few doubt that Mr. Macron has assumed the role of master string-puller, operating from a political planet he has created for himself.

Wow, interesting article. Macron is an interesting name. It could mean something in so many different languages. MacRon in Scotland, for instance. . . .

Okay... Weird thing, everyone! I just looked through my day's mail and found a beautiful brochure for the 2017/2018 Oregon Symphony in Salem. I love Classical music, and so I receive a brochure every symphony season. What do I see is the very first concert of the season, occurring October 27 this year? Mozart's Symphony No. 41, the "JUPITER" symphony! Whaaaat??

Here's some interesting information about Mozart's Jupiter Symphony that I found on a very quick search using Wikipedia:
1. It was the last symphony Mozart composed.
2. It was the longest symphony Mozart composed, generally 33 minutes long.
3. Source of the nickname "Jupiter Symphony": According to Franz Mozart, Wolfgang's younger son, the symphony was given the name Jupiter by Johann Peter Salomon, who had settled in London around 1781. The reason for the name is not known with certainty, but it can be inferred with considerable confidence. The celebrated finale of the symphony is a re-working, albeit a majestic one, of the opening movement of Carl Ditters's symphony in D, Der Sturz Phaëtons (The Fall of Phaëton) of 1785. In those days of classical education, members of the Philharmonic Society, of which Salomon was a founding member, will have known that the planet that the ancient Greeks called "Phaët(h)on" is the same planet that the ancient Romans called "Jupiter." [Note 1] Thus the majestic nickname is also an ironically humorous one.
(Note 1: The Phaëton of Ditters's symphony was the son of Helios, the Sun god, whereas the planet was called after the other Phaëton, the Promethian mortal commonly spelled as Phaëthon, but Salomon's joke stands nonetheless.)

One more thing I've discovered about the concert: The date of 27 October is the Hebrew date of 7 Cheshvan, one of the two days on which Yom HaAliyah is celebrated.

He's been listening to your prayers, Beloved! I wonder if we can say this is a type of prayer predestination--can we call it "prayerdestination?"--God knowing what we'd pray for even before we prayed for it and preparing everything in His creation to give us the signals to pray for it?

There is another important detail to consider: The AC will "honor the God of Fortresses", which some scholars have always thought to be Jupiter. Just search for "Jupiter" in biblehub.com/commentaries/daniel/11-38.htm for a sample. Now, Macron likening himself to the "God of Fortresses"... maybe just coincidence, but maybe not.
