60 + Samek (15th Letter) + Tried + Vessel + Treasury + Basket + Yoke + Pride, Excellency

THE NUMBER 60 is the value of the Fifteenth Letter Samek, which literally denotes to uphold, help, or support. Samek is the central and most active letter in the word yesod (foundation), which manifests in the dimensions (threescore = 60) of the foundation recorded above in Ezra, the Fifteenth book. This is but one example of the astounding manifestation of the symbolic meaning of Samek in the Fifteenth Book, the very name of which is a synonym of Samek. The Number 60 is also the minimum age that a widow may be accepted for support by the Church according to 1 Timothy 5:9-10. Note also that she must be known as one who herself gave much support for the body of Christ in "every good work":

Israel celebrates 60 years of statehood

Itzik: State of Israel is an unusual success story

By News Agencies

Tags: Israel, Independence Day

Amid tight security, Israel Wednesday night kicked off 24 hours of celebrations marking the 60th anniversary of its foundation in May 1948.

Overseen by Knesset Speaker Dalia Itzik, officers raised the Israeli flag from half to full mast, opening a one-hour ceremony at Jerusalem's Mount Herzl, which was to be followed by fireworks and outdoor celebrations throughout the country.

Itzik addressed the crowd at Mount Herzl, saying "the state of Israel is an unusual success story, a wonder by any historical standard."

At the start of her speech, Itzik expressed her sympathy for the bereaved families of Israel's fallen soldiers, saying "at this time only a few people are left to hug the gravestones at the military cemeteries. Millions of citizens owe them their endless gratitude. We will never be able to repay our debt to them."

"We had no miracles," she went on to say, "We built this splendid achievement with our own hands. There is no other country in the world like the state of Israel."

Itzik also addressed the negative aspects of Israeli society, saying "we are aware of grave phenomenon of violence in our society. It is not our wars with our enemies that will break us, but rather we, with our own hands, are capable of dragging ourselves down to places in which we don't want to be."

The Knesset speaker also addressed the world's Arab leaders, saying "we seek peace and we desire peace for your children as well, but beware - our children know very well the art of war if it is required."

Twelve adults, accompanied by 12 children representing the future generation of Israel, then lit twelve torches to honor Israel's anniversary.

The fireworks were to light up the skies from Eilat in the south, to Nahariya in the north. Throughout the evening and night, hundreds of thousands are expected to attend performances by local artists and musicians on outdoor stages erected on central squares across Israel.

Laser and light shows will also be held in a number of major cities.

On Wednesday during the day, the Israel Air Force was to perform off the shores of Tel Aviv and elsewhere, while dozens of naval vessels were to sail from the port city of Haifa in the north to that of Ashdod in the south.

Israelis are also expected to flock to nature reserves and museums, which are open to the public gratis in celebration of the occasion.

Thousands of police, including special units, were to secure the events. Roadblocks were to be set up at city entrances and beefed up forces have begun patrolling the border with the West Bank and Gaza, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.

The police have raised their alert to the second-highest level, amid warnings that Arab militants might try to mar the festivities with a major attack.

Israel declared statehood on May 14, 1948, a day before the expiry of Britain's United Nations-mandate over historic Palestine. It traditionally celebrates Independence Day according to the Jewish calendar, which this year falls almost a week before May 14.

Israel's 60th Independence Day began with a great sense of pride but also uncertainty about its future and doubts about prospects for peace with the Palestinians. Six decades after rising from the ashes of the Holocaust, the Jewish state is still plagued by existential threats from abroad and an identity crisis at home.

Israel at 60 is a paradox of exuberance and despair - a country enduring near daily rocket attacks from Gaza militants while producing scientists who have pioneered Wi-Fi and instant messaging.

Independence Day began just as Memorial Day for fallen soldiers ended - a jarring contrast between solemnity and joy that underlines the link Israelis see between their military and the existence of their state.

NASA astronaut Garrett Reisman, the first Jewish crew member on the International Space Station, on Wednesday sent a greeting from space to the people of Israel.

Every time the Station flies over the State of Israel, I try to find a window, and it never fails to move me when I see the familiar outline of Israel coming toward us from over the horizon, he said.

Later Wednesday, Jewish communities around the world were joining Israelis in a rendition of the Israeli national anthem - Hatikva, or The Hope. Their goal: to enter the Guinness Book of World Records for the most people singing a national anthem at the same time.

U.S. President George W. Bush will attend a conference in Jerusalem next week marking the anniversary, along with Tony Blair, Henry Kissinger, Mikhail Gorbachev, Rupert Murdoch and a co-founder of Google.

Peres, Israel's 84-year-old president, is hosting the conference, along with a party for 60-year-old Israelis born on the day Israel declared its independence, re-establishing Jewish sovereignty in the Holy Land for the first time in nearly 2,000 years.

"We are small in size, small in numbers, so we cannot become a big market or a big industry," Peres recently told The Associated Press. "But Israel can become a daring laboratory."

In Israel's early days, Peres worked for the country's founding father, David Ben Gurion. Peres went on to become prime minister three times, in addition to winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Now he spends time promoting Israel as a green country and a high-tech powerhouse - including a government plan to install the world's first electric car network here by 2011, with recharging stations all over the country.

Israeli venture capitalists in Jerusalem are setting up an online multimedia encyclopedia generated by users, and a product called Pop Tok that sends video clips from movies and TV shows as instant messages.

Yet Israel is also home to Sderot, a little town near the border with Hamas-ruled Gaza where people huddle in bomb shelters almost every day to escape militants' rockets. Israelis strive to live normal lives, but they live in an abnormal neighborhood, threatened by Iranian-backed militants on both their northern and southern flanks.

They see Iran as their greatest existential threat, with its nuclear program they fear will soon be used to make weapons and its president's public calls for their destruction.

Yet Israel's conflict with the Palestinians is the biggest obstacle to its quest for normalcy. The fighting has only intensified since the Jewish state's creation resulted in the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Arabs, and has become a rallying point for Muslim extremists throughout the world.

Palestinians refer to Israel's creation as 'al-Naqba', or the catastrophe.

Israel 60-Year-Old In May 2008

[Shekel]

I am reminded of this little sign that happened on the 60th anniversary of the UN.

http://www.christian...s...ost&p=15046

Perhaps a similar sign will occur on Israel's anniversary?

A mina in the bible was worth 60 shekels. "Mene" in "mene mene tekel uparsin" in the writing on the wall (Daniel 5) also means a mina (that is, a coin worth 60 shekels in Babylon). Hence, "mina mina", or "60 and 60 shekels", which I said back 2.5 years ago speaks of years.

60 years/shekels for the UN and 60 years/shekels for Israel???

A little far fetched I know, until you read the mene tekel bible code!

How can it be? There is no difference between Jew nor Greek!
How can God fulfill his conditional promises to a non believing Israel, when he has clearly said that there is no difference any more. The dividing wall between Jew and Gentile has been broken down forever, by the blood of Christ (Eph 2)?

There is also no longer male or female, in Christ, according to the New Testament. But last I checked, there are still male and female, even after they become Christians. And, the Holy Spirit makes a distinction between males and females, when it comes to who can serve in particular positions in the Church - only males are allowed to be pastors, deacons, or teachers of men. So, either the Bible contradicts itself, or the passage which says that there is now no longer "Jew nor Gentile, male nor female, slave nor free" in Christ is not speaking literally or absolutely - rather, it is speaking about the fact that there is no difference in regard to salvation between those various categories. A Jew has no advantage over a Gentile in terms of salvation - the same salvation, under the same conditions, is offered to all, regardless of whether they are a Jew, a Gentile, male, female, slave, or free. But that doesn't mean those categories aren't still important or have implications, even within God's Church.

As I mentioned in another post, no one is saying a Jew does not exist. Or there is no difference between a physical Jew and a physical Gentile. I dont know any one who believes that.
The issue involves the covenants. Salvation only falls within the confines of the covenants or the promises.
No one can claim a promise based on ethnic heritage.
I thought it was interesting that Knesset Speaker Dalia Itzik even went out of her way to insure that no one understood the formation of Israel to be a Divine act of God when she said:
"We had no miracles," she went on to say, "We built this splendid achievement with our own hands. There is no other country in the world like the state of Israel."

God is now fulfilling His covenant promises to Israel by means of the New Covenant he made with the House of Israel. Gentiles are of course included in the New Covenant Israel, which is the church.
So how can God be fulfilling an old covenant promise to the nation, when he has already ratified the New Covenant with the blood of Christ?

Eph 2:11 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth... were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ. 19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 

The promises are all about Jesus!
Israel can have it all Now!!!
They just need Jesus.

Yes, Shekel :

I can see the 60 years, with the Mene/banner-pole info clearly. Also the Thomas meaning
the word twin.
And today being Mother's Day, interesting that I re-examined this statement you made
and see clearly the following :

Perhaps a similar sign will occur on Israel's anniversary?

Have you thought about Moses serpent on the pole, in parallel to
banner/poles in this excerpt ? http://www.tagnet.org/hop/serm9802.htm
THE GOSPEL ON A POLE
By Evangelist Bob Thrower

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live." Numbers 21:8.
In the Holy Scriptures the gospel is symbolized in a number of ways at different times. The reason for this is to help us understand the gospel as it is in the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is the theme of the Bible. Some examples of Biblical symbols of Christ are as follows:

In Noah's day the ark symbolized the gospel as the good news of salvation. The ark was a type of the Saviour.
In Abraham's day his son, Isaac, was a symbol of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Joseph was a type of Christ.
In Moses time the serpent on the pole symbolized the Lord Jesus Christ.
The serpent on the pole is the gospel on the pole, and for that time in history the serpent was the good news for Israel. "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:14,15.
The gospel means good news. It is the best news in all the universe. Whether it is in the ark with Noah, on the altar with Isaac and Abraham, on a pole with Moses, or on the cross at Mount Calvary, the gospel is the greatest news in all the world!



(excerpt from Shekel's work)
other parallels

http://www.bible-cod...-bible-code.htm
The rallying-pole/flag on the left has the letters upside down. This is because, just as the Hebrew of the bible codes can be read backward, so can the pictures. Both banner-poles read from the bottom and wind around at the flag at top. (We read from the pole on the right in the second part of this document.) It is important to realize that the excerpts presented in this document on the Trade Centers are taken from the 1000-word bible code that finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. However, it is written in such a way that one can see the Trade Center disaster in it as well. Therefore, look for Jesus first, and the Trade-Center disaster second. In this way, the codes remain hidden to all but those who have an eye single for the glory of Jesus the Messiah.

One secular Jew doesn't speak for the whole nation. The whole idea of Israel being formed again as a nation is a miracle...and what about the 6 day war...many miracles with in a miracle.
