The name Tel Aviv (literally "Spring Mound") was chosen in 1910 from among many suggestions, including "Herzliya". Tel Aviv means ("Old New Land"), translated from German by Nahum Sokolow. Sokolow took the name from Ezekiel 3:15: "Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel Aviv, that lived by the river Chebar, and to where they lived; and I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days." This name was found fitting as it embraced the idea of the renaissance of the ancient Jewish homeland. Aviv is Hebrew for "spring", symbolizing renewal, and tel is an archaeological site that reveals layers of civilization built one over the other. Theories vary about the etymology of Jaffa or Yafo in Hebrew. Some believe that the name derives from yafah or yofi, Hebrew for "beautiful" or "beauty". Another tradition is that Japheth, son of Noah, founded the city and that it was named for him. The name is also transliterated as Tel-Abib in the King James Bible. In the archaeology of the United States and Canada, the term "mound" has specific and technical connotations. In this sense, a mound is a deliberately constructed elevated earthen structure or earthwork, intended for a range of potential uses. In European and Asian archaeology, the word "tumulus" may be used as a synonym for an artificial hill, particularly if the hill is related to particular burial customs. Stick and Carrot = Reward and Punishment Bell = Shofar = Vibration (shaking) = Trumpet Carrot = Diamond caret ring (Marriage/Rapture) Carrot = caret = Kite = False checks (deception) (Tel) Aviv = Mound = Spring = Mead = New Moon = Honey Moon = Rapture = Marriage Trident = Bell = Warning = Harvest = North Wind = Judgment = Wrath Bell = Marriage Bells = Rapture Mead = Honey Wine = Honey Moon = New Moon = New Wine Tumulus culture is distinguished by the practice of burying the dead beneath burial mounds. Beaker culture is a type of Tumulus culture. It has been suggested that the beakers were designed for the consumption of alcohol, and that the introduction of the substance to Europe may have fueled the beakers' spread.Beer and mead content have been identified from certain examples. However, not all Beakers were drinking cups. Some were used as reduction pots to smelt copper ores, others have some organic residues associated with food, and still others were employed as funerary urns.[7] They were used as status display amongst disparate elites. "Honeymoon" is derived from the ancient Germanic custom of having newly-weds drink mead (the 'drink of love') for a whole moon (month) in order to encourage fertility, and a male child in particular Mead is an alcoholic beverage created by fermenting honey with water, and frequently fruits, spices, grains or hops. March 30th is the New Moon and March 31st would be the New Moon festival! March 31st was shown in the Back to the Future Movie as being the 2nd 911 March 27, 2014 (CNN) -- President Barack Obama gave Pope Francis a box of seeds as a gift, a fitting token....."These, I think, are carrots," Obama told the Pontiff, showing him a pouch from the box, which was made from timber from the first cathedral to open in the United States, in Baltimore. TELL: 1.(esp.in poker) an unconscious action that is thought to betray an attempted deception. Ezekiel 3:14-16 (CEV) 16 Seven days after I had seen the brightness of the Lord's glory, the Lord said: Ezekiel 3:1-3 3 The Lord said, "Ezekiel, son of man, after you eat this scroll, go speak to the people of Israel." 2-3 He handed me the scroll and said, "Eat this and fill up on it." So I ate the scroll, and it tasted sweet as honey. Mt 1:17: Therefore all the generations from Abraham to David (are) 14 generations, and from David to the Babylonian Transmigration fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian Transmigration to Christ fourteen generations. To begin with, Matthew's three sets of 14 generations appear to be divided according to the notion of a primitive 28-day month. From the new moon of Abraham Jewish history waxes to the full moon of David; then it wanes to the blackout of the Babylonian Deportation; and finally it waxes again to the full moon of the coming of the Messiah. Such an image would convey a messianic meaning as well as illustrate the unfolding of the Providence of God, and I think that this lunar image is suggested to some extent by the 14x3 generations, 11 but the full historical meaning seems much more refined than that. Looking at the lunar image, we find that David was in some sense the greatest king of the Jews: Jewish history waxed from Abraham to David. The Babylonian Captivity was perhaps the greatest catastrophe of the Jews before the time of Christ: Jewish history waned from David to the Captivity. And the coming of the Messiah was the culmination of the ancestral expectations: Jewish history waxed from the Captivity to Jesus. In this sense the lunar image fits the text of Mt 1:17
