Jewish Year 5769

5769: May This Be a Year of a Good Sign by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu(IsraelNN.com) The Hebrew initials for the year 5769 are an acronym for "May this be a year of a good sign." The Hebrew letters for the year actually refer to "769" because there are no Hebrew letters to represent the concept of "5000." Pundits often take the opportunity on the eve of Rosh HaShanah to make predictions for the coming year, but a look at last year's crystal ball shows that it is better to put faith in prayer and not self-styled prophets.

I know they say there is no Hebrew letter for 5000, but I feel like to say that... 5...FIVE. Denotes Divine grace. It is 4 + 1. It is God adding His gifts and blessing to the works of His hands. The Hebrew Ha'aretz (the earth), by "Gematria" (that is to say the addition of the numerical value of the letters together) is a multiple of four, while Hashamayim (the heavens) is a multiple of five. The Gematria of (charis), the Greek for Grace, is also a multiple of five. It is the leading factor in the Tabernacle measurements.

I think there is definitely grace for us as believers coming soon, but as for the judgment part it sure looks like the world is getting worse and worse. More and more bad stuff is coming down the pike each and every year. I need not repeat what it all is.
