The countdown to Shavuot Pentecost, Peace treaty?

I find it interesting when I think about how from the very beginning, in the garden, when doing evil (good and evil tree) that the reaction was to hide oneself. Still today those who do evil will generally do so under the 'cover' of darkness. Which brings to mind what Yeshua said:

For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.​

Also about a thief, coming in the night.

"But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch"

It is interesting that Peter and Paul talk about Messiah coming as a thief in the night, perhaps using the cover of night so only his bride can see his coming? Which relates to the story of the bridesmaids who fell asleep as the groom came at midnight.....

" But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent ."

"... for ye know perfectly well yourselves, that the day
of the Lord so comes as a thief by night. ..."​

Also interesting is how the hour midnight is referenced in the five wise, and five foolish virgins, and in the parable about the Laborers in the vineyard, reckoning is made at the 12th hour (6pm), and in a psalm David declares, he will wake up at midnight to praise His name.

Midnight marks the beginning of the third (three hour) Watch, and though No Man knows the day and hour, a faithful servant will be able to ascertain and declare what Watch in the night it shall occur.

But then there's a question of what time zone will this be in?

Would it be midnight Israeli time, Jerusalem?

Makes you wonder about the bridegroom coming at one particular time.

Does not the entire world (except Alaska) behold the sun at high noon? Of course, just not all at once, notwithstanding we all behold that hour when it comes.

Is it Shavuot?

Yet,
A prayerful provision was displayed by hmmm?

Yeah, predictable.

They say peace, peace, and then sudden .....

I prefer a school of thought where sencerity, Truth, honor, respect, and dignity is upheld..

I am not aware of what the Q stands for in the LGBTQ, but I know some folks have actually added the letter P to that string of initials, Pedophilia has found a public arena where their unrestrained tendencies are welcomed.

Truly a (troubling) Sign of the time.

The impression I noticed in such a tact from the enemy is predictable. Using a community like a terrorist would use civilians in gorrila warfare.
Provoking the Lord to wrath with misguided people to hasten a coming of wrath.
Surprisingly not so subtle before keen eyes.

Vessels of wrath
1 thessalonians 4
Therefore, brothers, just as you learned from us how you had to live in order to please God, and just as you are living this way now, we ask you — indeed, united with the Lord Yeshua, we urge you — to keep doing so more and more. 2 For you know what instructions we gave you on the authority of the Lord Yeshua. 3 What God wants is that you be holy, that you keep away from sexual immorality, 4 that each of you know how to manage his sexual impulses in a holy and honorable manner, 5 without giving in to lustful desires, like the pagans who don’t know God. 6 No one should wrong his brother in this matter or take advantage of him, because the Lord punishes all who do such things — as we have explained to you before at length. 7 For God did not call us to live an unclean life but a holy one. 8 Therefore, whoever rejects this teaching is rejecting not a man but God, indeed, the One who gives you the Ruach HaKodesh, which is his.

Many of the members of quasi movements are associating Christianity and Judaism to pedophilia due to the Catholic fiasco, and condonings found in the Talmud.

I was virtually called a pedophile, with flagrant overtones of disgust and hatred, it caught me off guard, and was unsettling to see such broad associations being made.

I should not be surprised, my main reason for not embracing the faith was my own hatred, and disdain toward the overall blatant miss representations demonstrated amongst the various Christian denominations.

Well, the closet is nearly empty now, they have been coming out of it slowly since the late sixties, and now it is not only deemed safe to come out, it has become the popular thing to do, yet it appears to be a set up, to draw them out into the open, and now the stage is pretty much set, and soon heaven shall reveal the reason why.

I never had an overt hatred toward any of the indulgers, but my disdain for the acts has never changed, yet when I embraced the faith I fixed it in my convictions that Sin is Sin, and I should not be a disrespector of Sinners anymore than I am a respector of persons, regardless to the degree of one's propensity to sin.

Nothing worse than a sinner comforting themselves knowing that their sins are not as bad as another sinner, that garbage is the breakfast of hypocrites.

It is disturbing to see my patience and tolerance being interpreted as condonement.

I imagine the peace treaty will be something like taxation without representation to further oppress the poor.

That has already been reinstated, under false and miss leading representation, I believe what you mean is them doing something more blatant without an attempt to camouflage it.

They have grown more blatant over the years, the fear factor tends to work in their favor.

They are already making and passing laws without our consent, and with each new generation a part of America dies as a new America is born, the citizens are divided by their own idea of what America should be, just as one might expect to occur at the foot of Babylon.
