There is an interesting new video by Daniel Larimer at Blow the Shofar " Satan Claus Is Coming to Town" on 12-19-2024.He wonders if The Blessed Hope will be on Christmas Eve. His transcript is 9 minutes long. He quotes Amos 8:10. "And I will turn your feasts (Christmas, Jewish Hannukah on the Hillel-Chabad Calendar) into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation, and I will bring up sackcloth (smoke, dust, fallout)) upon all loins, and baldness upon every head (radiation): and I will make it as the mourning of an only son (Tammuz) "reborn " on Christmas after winter solstice, and the end thereof as a bitter day."
We can see the Season of Saturnalia as 8 days, not 7 days. It takes day 8 for those far back on the 24 hour gid to conclude the season worldwide for those in China, Asia, Russia, and Africa, it will end at sunsets on 12-24. Not 12-23 like for Israel, Europe, North America, and South America. Therefore, the WARNINGS in Luke 21:34 apply globally from 12-17 through 12-24! Might The Blessed Hope be at the midnight hour for Israel on 12-24-2024? Some scholars believe that the Messiah was born in September, but the Magi visited around 12-24 to 25 when He was 1 to 2 years old. Herod declared that all males under 2 years old be killed at Bethlehem. How does that imply a newborn boy King? Thus, 12-24 to 25 annually may be The Season of the Magi and the wonderful GIFTS for the little King of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Might The Blessed Hope be during The Season of the Magi, The Annual Season for Gifts and Gifting? The Season to remember The Amazing and Beautiful GIFT of the eagerly awaited PRESCENCE of the baby Messiah Redeemer? We shall see...
With Love and Shalom,Jean
