Photos Of Moonbows

HARVEST MOONBOW!

  ~  

A moonbow (also known as a lunar rainbow or white rainbow) is a rainbow that occurs at night. Moonbows are relatively faint, due to the smaller amount of light from the Moon. As with rainbows, they are in the opposite part of the sky from the moon. They are relatively rare because they need a number of conditions to appear. The Moon must be less than 42 degrees high in the sky, the sky must be very dark and there must be rain falling opposite the Moon. Moon bows are more common near waterfalls. The phenomena should not be confused with Moon rings, which appear like circles around the Moon. These are caused by the refraction of light through ice crystals suspended in the upper atmosphere.

Here's Some Dazzling Photographs of Moonbows.

Believe In Your Dreams! Dream what you want to dream; Go where you want to go; Be what you want to be, Because you have only one life And one chance to do all the things You want to do. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, Enough trials to make you strong, Enough sorrow to keep you human and Enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of people don't necessarily Have the best of everything; They just make the most of Everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always Be based on a forgotten past; You can't go forward in life until You let go of your past failures and heartaches. When you were born, you were crying And everyone around you was smiling Live your life so at the end You're the one who is smiling and everyone Around you is crying. - Author Unknown

+ JESUS' DEATH +

At the age of 33,  
Jesus was condemned to the death penalty.  

  ~  

At the time crucifixion was the "worst" death. Only the worst criminals condemned to be crucified. Yet it was even more 

dreadful for Jesus, for unlike other criminals condemned to 

death by crucifixion, Jesus was nailed to the cross by his 

hands and feet, rather than tied...  
Each nail was 6 to 8 inches long.  

   

The nails were driven into his wrist. Not into his palms as is commonly portrayed. There's a tendon in the wrist that 

 extends to the shoulder. The Roman guards knew that 

when the nails were being hammered into the wrist, 

that tendon would tear and break, forcing Jesus to use his 

back muscles to support himself, so that He could breathe.  

  ~  

Both of His feet were nailed together. Thus He was forced 

to support Himself on the single nail that impaled his feet 

to the cross. Jesus could not support himself with his legs 

for long because of the pain, so He was forced to alternate 

between arching his back and using his legs just to continue 

to breath. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the suffering, 

the courage.  

    

Jesus endured this reality for over 3 hours.  Yes, over 3 hours! 

Can you imagine this kind of suffering? A few minutes before  

he died, Jesus stopped bleeding. He was simply pouring water 

from his wounds.  

  ~  

From common images we see wounds to his hands and feet 

and even the spear wound to his side... But do we remember 

the many wounds made to his body. A hammer driving large 

nails through the wrists, the feet overlapped and a nail 

hammered through the arches, then a Roman guard 

piercing his side with a spear. And... before the nails and 

the spear, Jesus was whipped and beaten. The whipping 

was so severe that it tore the flesh from his body. 

The beating so horrific that his face was torn and his 

beard ripped from his face. The crown of thorns (two 

to three inch thorns) cut deeply into his scalp. 

Most men would not have survived this torture.  
  ~  
He had no more blood to bleed out, 

only water poured from his wounds.    

The Human adult body contains about 

3.5 liters (just less than a gallon) of blood.  

 

   

Jesus poured all 3.5 liters of his blood;  
He had three nails hammered into his members; 

a crown of thorns on his head and, beyond that, 

a Roman soldier who stabbed a spear into his chest.  

 

  ~  

All these without mentioning the humiliation he passed 

after carrying his own cross for almost 2 kilometers, 

while the crowd spat in his face and threw stones 

(the cross beam was almost 30 kg of weight, 

to which His hands were nailed).  

  ~   

Jesus had to endure this experience,  
So that you may have free access to God.  

  ~   

So that your sins can be "washed" away.  
All of them, with no exception!  
Don't ignore this.  
JESUS CHRIST DIED...FOR YOU!  

   ~   

For you, who have now read this blog. 
Do not believe that He only died for others   (those who go to church or for pastors, bishops, etc). 

   ~  

He died for you!
