With race riots being incited by government leaders, the unconstitutional executive orders by a senseless president, the kidnapping of children by Child Protective Services in order to vaccinate already unhealthy children, the Muslim takeover of the US through the ignorance of a generation’s zeal for cultural tolerance, school murders because of mental illness caused by pharmaceutical drugs and unchecked aggression, the acceptance of marriage between two people of the same sex who cannot biologically procreate, the supposed war on the women that allows them to kill babies in the womb, the push toward losing our inalienable rights as American citizens with freedom of religion, the right to bear arms, the right to assembly, the protection from search and seizure, I’m watching 2 Timothy chapter coming to pass right before my eyes.
Post-Halloween Reflections
I guess if it’s okay for my Christian friends to post their dark and evil Halloween pictures on Facebook and other places, it must be okay for me to wonder why they took part in the holiday at all. It just doesn’t compute in ‘my renewed mind’ how one can say they believe in the resurrection of the dead because Jesus rose from the dead and then dress like dead people, zombies, skeletons.
The Sabbath ‘Yom’
In Eternity, the restored Sabbath, yom and laila will no longer exist nor will the ‘light’ of a lamp or the sun –– Adonai is the light. Still, the 24-hour Sabbath yom will still be celebrated along with a monthly cycle through the Rosh Chodesh. How will that be? Only God knows. Until then, from sunset to sunset on the seventh day, Adonai gave the weekly Sabbath yom to enter into a moment of what is to come.
Rejoicing in the Torah – Simchat Torah
The number eight holds the Biblical vision for ‘new beginnings’ as in the Simchat Torah celebration. Dedication ceremonies for the Temple, the anointing oil and the Altar also lasted eight days hence the re-dedication of the Altar at Hanukkah lasting for eight days. Jewish baby boys were, and still are, circumcised and named on the eighth day in a ceremony called a b’rit-milah.
