"Reflections on Memorial Day Weekend 2012: Beware of Hops"


 
Dear Doves,
      Shavuot (Pentecost) is celebrated for two days, day one is for Israel and day two is added for those in exile (diaspora). When is day 50 of Shavuot (Pentecost) complete this year? Day 50 is complete for Israel at sunset on 5-27, for the whole world day 50 is complete by Israel sunset on 5-28. We might say, it will be WHEN PENTECOST IS FULLY COME for anywhere on earth, Day 2 when The Book of Ruth will have been read. It will be the afternoon of Memorial Day in time zones in the U.S.A. as it goes to midnight in Israel. For Israel on 5-28 it will be the beginning at sunset of day three of the Scriptual Week. There is a promise to raise up on the third day! Sunsets on 5-28 go to day 29, this number is associated with departure, with the Apostacia.
      The Master warns about the cares of life: including drunkenness and sleepiness. Any major Summer holiday weekend celebrated in the U.S.A.is a time for increased drunkenness, at Memorial Day weekend, The Fourth of July weekend, or Labor Day weekend. What do many drink as they become DRUNK, especially on the holiday? Beer is a beverage of choice: in liters, 6 packs, 12 packs, 24 packs and kegs. Any beer has a common ingredient called hops. Hops is an herb with a sedative effect. Hops is like valerian root, it can readily induce SLEEPINESS and a very deep sleep, a SLUMBER!  How well does anyone WATCH when one is drunk, sleepy, or asleep? These clues about Pentecost and the signs of the times may converge on 5-26 to 28 with The Blessed Hope! These 7-8 days after the  Solar Eclipse (the sign of the golden wedding ring as indicative of signs in the Sun, the Moon, and the stars) are for deep appreciation of the last fleeting and concluding days of The Age of Grace! FINAL SPIRITUAL PREPARATIONS are leading to a crossing over, THE BRIDGE in space and time for the prepared, the sober, the alert, the watching, the wise.
 
With Love and Shalom,
Jean
