Three Supermoons!
http://www.farmersalmanac.com/astronomy/2013/05/13/coming-up-three-supermoons/
Full moon lovers will be in for a treat this summer as the coming months bring not just one, but three full super moons in a row. A supermoon occurs when the Moon is at least 90% of the way to its closest approach to the Earth at the same time it is full or new. Supermoons are caused by the shape of the Moon’s orbit, which is not a perfect circle, but an ellipse, or oval, shape. …There are usually about four or five supermoon events each year, only about half of which tend to be full supermoons. This year is somewhat unusual in that there are only three supermoons, and all three are full.
May’s full Moon falls on the 25th, one day before the lunar perigee on the 26th. The May supermoon also coincides with a very minor partial lunar eclipse. The largest of this year’s supermoons will occur on June 23, within 22 minutes of the Moon’s perigee on the same day. June’s supermoon coincides with the Moon’s closest approach to Earth until August 10, 2014. Finally, July’s full Moon will rise on July 22, one day after that month’s lunar perigee.
aNNa’S NoTe: Okay, so… this is crazy and significant and… I am going to have to think on what it means, for a while. But here’s what we got:
1. Three supermoons this year (unusual).
2. They’re in a row, even more unusual.
3. They’re all three full supermoons (also unusual).
4. They’re in the three months between the spring/fall feasts!
5. Three being a HUGELY significant # in Biblical numerology.
6. The first is the day before, the second is the day of, and the
one is the day after perigee. Come on… that’s crazy!!
7. And then August is Elul, and September the Feasts.I’m just sayin’. When I saw this, a whole bunch of green lights went off for me. It’s… pretty incredible. But what does it signify? I’m not sure. I’ll be brainstorming today… but please help me with it, and throw out any ideas that you might have!

I will thnk about it – how cool!
Tossing out ideas:
3 days in the tomb….meaning heads up for the Fall Feasts
2nd is day of….= Unleavened Bread
Um….that’s all I’ve got right now, but I’ll keep thinking! (And this is just cool!)
is one of these on the 17 of tammuz?

fromthe page listed above: The sages explain: “Every generation for which the Temple is not rebuilt, it is as though the Temple was destroyed for that generation.” A fast day is not only a sad day, but an opportune day. It’s a day when we are empowered to fix the cause of that destruction, so that our long exile will be ended and we will find ourselves living in messianic times—may that be very soon.
seems it is listed on June 24/25th. and the super moon is on 23/24? is that right?
it would be interesting to see how these times look in Jerusalem
8.3 on IRIS off Russia… and that. is. HUGE!!!
I wonder if the supermoon will bring massive quakes, each time?
kind of a weird place for it..
Well, we’re still expecting THE big one, right? Where everyone hides and says The Lord is coming…..seems to me this might be a good time for it. And it wouldn’t surprise me……
Asked my muslim friend about this…full moon of June is a big deal for them
