beautiful . . . as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners (6:4)fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners (6:10)
I noted that "beautiful" in v. 4 and "fair" in v. 6 are translations of the same Hebrew word. This can be transliterated in various ways, and in fact the Bible Hub Interlinear Bible from which I got the information renders it yāp̄āh, but in the post I spelled it yafah, which is my understanding of how it is pronounced. A p with a macron seemed unnecessarily pedantic (not that there's anything wrong with that!). I'm not sure why I didn't go with ph, which would have been more in keeping with King James spelling (Ephraim, seraphim, etc.). I hadn't known the word before looking it up; the Tirza dream led me to those two verses, and I wanted to see how closely they paralleled each other.
Today, I passed this beauty salon on the street:
The fact that it's a beauty salon, and yafah is Hebrew for "beautiful," suggests that the name is not a coincidence. The Chinese characters for the salon's name have no meaning but are used to transliterate foreign names. Apparently someone decided to open a beauty salon in Taiwan and name it after the Hebrew word for "beautiful" -- but why Hebrew? Taiwan has a negligible Jewish population (a grand total of two synagogues in the whole country), and Christians (who might take an interest in Hebrew as a biblical language) are a small minority.
Yafa is also a feminine name in Arabic, cognate with the Hebrew word. Since Taiwan has about 200 times as many Muslims as Jews, that seems a likelier source of the name. The Muslims here aren't Arabs -- most are from Indonesia -- but I would assume that many of them have Arabic names, for the same reason that many Europeans have Hebrew names. Lots of nail salons are operated by Southeast Asians, so it fits. It might be the owner's name.
Searching for yaffa beauty turned up a South African company by that name, with the blurb in the search result emphasizing that they offer "more than just shampoo."
Since shampoo has recently come up ("Shampoo as food"), I clicked through. The homepage was advertising Koffee Shampoo.
Since the "Shampoo as food" post began by associating shampoo with buttered toast, this link between shampoo and coffee would seem to be continuing that theme. Some years ago I wrote something about a Danish character who began every day with "hot buttered coffee and strong black toast" (same concept as the spoonerized Swedish dishes the Babylonians eat in Yes and No; the "strong black toast" is rugbrød), so that's synchronistic precedent for swapping out toast for coffee.

While chatting with my friend J last week, he said he'd been low on shampoo and conditioner; for whatever reason he went looking in a shop he doesn't usually frequent, and came out with the pineapple conditioner listed below. Not sure why I didn't think of this before.

William,
Part 1 of 2
And speaking of Solomon.
Yesterday I found William Henry's book Language of the Birds
on Archives.org. Interestingly it mentioned Solomon.
Again, that was yesterday.
Today I read your new post, and lo and behold
you refer to Solomon, so I googled Solomon
and The Language of the Birds again,
looking for a video to post. ( see link )
I found the video below very interesting,
indeed, however not sure how 'credible'
it is, but perhaps thought provoking nevertheless
( at least to me ) :-)))
Also wasn't the First Temple in Jerusalem,
Solomon's Temple? I seem to recall that
information when I researched the symbolism
in my 2015 Where's My Horn? dream.
I know I've shared this 2015 Horn dream
a gazillion times, but I think it bears
repeating because I believe its
message connects to the future
big picture which I believe will affect all of us
on the world stage in someway
shape or form, and not just me personally.
It was after a gazillion hours of research
of the Feb 2015 Where's My Horn dream
that I knew (in early 2015)
that Donald Trump would be POTUS.
Trump didn't announce running until June 2015,
4 months after the dream.
.
Recall my recent comment about the
historic UN Declaration this week. 9/23.
One of several symbols in my Horn dream was
Marshall and I had sold our home and
we moved to a condo near Kings Island.
Kings Island in real life is a Six Flags
owned amusement park north of Cincy.
In real life, I have no intentions whatsoever of living
near Kings Island but I knew that
in the dream, Kings Island was a very significant
clue as to the meaning of the dream so
I googled tag words : Kings, Horn, Tent.
I googled the word tent, because
in the dream after moving to the condo, I
became irritated with the hundreds of people
walking across my back patio window
going to Kings Island, so I decided to build
some type of enclosure around the patio
with white gauzy type of fabric.
The dream changed and I recall I was enjoying my
enclosed oasis while sitting on my chaise longue.
It was at that point that my grandfather ( William Floyd
who is in spirit since 1977 ) came through one of the
openings of the white gauzy fabric and immediately
and with a firm voice said: Where's my Horn?!!
I went to him , hugged him and told him how
much I missed him and I remember thinking
I shouldn't have visited him more often.
My grandfather pushed me back a bit from
my hug and said very seriously again;
Where's My Horn?!
And I responded that I didn't know where his horn was.
I woke up.
In real life my grandfather did not play a musical
instrument including a horn.
The Kings tag word led to research
about King Solomon and the First Temple.
The tent tag word, led me to information about
the tabernacles ( which I DID NOT know before
the dream ) Interestingly( and I've commented
about this before ) on the roof
of the DIA ( Denver International AIR-port)
are 21 white tabernacles/tents)
Denver is on the 40th parallel north.
Note that Charlie Kirk was in a white
tent on Sept 11 ( actual date Sept 10
but do allow for the law of three)
Utah is also on the 40th parallel north.
The horn tag word led me to the Shmita
the Shofar, the Golden Gate and Third Temple.
Dreams are spoken in symbolism, a code
to decipher.
So interesting once again circling back to the Temple.
William,
Part 2
Regarding your cleaning syncs ( shampoo being an agent
of washing away ) I'm not surprised as I think your new
beauty sync is yet another puzzle piece of the big picture
of transformation. I don't think the name itself was
the message.
I found that the sign of the salon you posted
there is no mention of hair, perhaps
they don't do hair just nails and eyelashes?
Interesting nails also has a connection
with birds.
Copy and paste:
"The harder beta-keratins (β-keratins)
are found only in the sauropsids,
i.e., all living reptiles and birds.
They are found in the nails, scales,
and claws of reptiles, in some reptile shells
(Testudines), and in the feathers, beaks,
and claws of birds."
~~~~~~
Interesting how everything connects to another
including your mention of Solomon and
my connections to the Language of Birds.
In alchemy the first step, the Nigredo.
Copy and paste:
"In alchemy, nigredo, or blackness,
means putrefaction or decomposition.
Many alchemists believed that as a first step
in the pathway to the philosopher's stone,
all alchemical ingredients had to be **** cleanse***
and cooked extensively to a uniform black matte"
~~~~~~~~
The bird connection, at least to me, is very significant.
Recall I have commented many times of my personal
bird experience in 2006, when a Hawk 'appeared'
( which still baffles me as to why )
on my front porch. Recall I sent you a photo
of the Cooper's Hawk on my porch
with yellow legs and 'feet'.
My other personal experiences of birds
are the many years the bats have come into
Marshall and my house, for no rhyme or reason.
We don't have an attic and several times
we have walked around the house looking
how they were getting in and can't find one.
Many of the bat visits we spot a bat upstairs
in our bedroom, as we have high beams
in the bedroom. What's odd is several times
the bat 'hangs' right above my side of the bed.
Also in the last year or so, I've been awaken by
the sound of loud bat wings flapping.
I immediately wake up, look around,
but no bats. I don't know why this
is happening, but since finding this video
today Sept 25, I think I'm really close
to an answer.
And last but not least, the Egyptian Thoth has been
shown with a green Ibis head.
Very intriguing information in the video,
in my humble..

Apparently early Arab etymologists said (though perhaps not accurately) that the word Coffee came from the Arab word meaning "Wine" (per Etymonline)
I had linked the Shampoo symbol with the Lilies of Eressea, and thus edible Shampoo and disliked individuals who eat said Shampoo, with events on Eressea in relation to those Lilies.
The Lilies and the nectar from them have also been linked with Wine, making this then pretty interesting. That connection even came through in your symbols, for example the Dandelion Wine.
So, just noting you have a potential reference to a "Wine Shampoo".
At Bountiful, when Jesus brought his own wine to share as a sacrament (3 Nephi 20), he said that those who drank that wine, and at his bread, would never hunger or thirst again - they would always be full.
This is the exact opposite of the 2 Nephi 27/ Isaiah quote I just linked to in an earlier comment, where those individuals mentioned would eat and drink, and never be filled.
Anyway, this train of thought had me remember that you had written about fake yellow flowers, and this seemed like it tied into this whole theme:
