thread, I saw a reference<BR> to an absolutely fascinating
source. It is in Midrash Ruth Rabbah<BR> 5:4. There, R. Abun
presents a list of celestial entities that have<BR> wings,
with prooftexts. The relevant section reads, We have heard<BR>
that the sun has wings,as it says (Mal. 3:20): But unto you
that<BR> fear My name shall the sun of righteousness arise
with healing<BR> in its wings. Even the verse from Malachi is
remarkable in and<BR> of itself, within the context of the
seal [--Josh Berman]</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>For one sense -- perhaps THE sense -- in which the sun has
"wings," see these amazing NASA photographs of the sun's corona during an
eclipse:</DIV>
