Beyond words like drunkenness, dissipation, and carousing in Luke 21:34 are other words in translation from Greek. Please reference Luke 21:34 at www.biblegateway.com.  These include feasting, drinking parties, hangovers, and gluttony. They denote Excesses and Spiritual Problems. For about a week, from 12-31 (New Year’s Eve) and that next week, will demonstrate a pattern of choices in living, for the folly of sins or for wisdom. Tevet 10 this year, on 1-2 to 3 on the Torah Calendar, is only 1 to 3 days away from global drunkenness, dissipation (carousing), and hangovers on 12-31 to 1-2. During those days, what choices will be made each day? The pagan life and spirit of Saturnalia and New Year’s? The drunken parties of those watching College-University Bowl Games on 1-1 to 2 and other Sports Games? OR the righteous spirit with soberness, repentance, prayer, and fasting,  as showcased on Tevet 10? Days of Noah Revisited. From 12-30 to 1-5, Saturnalia on the Julian Calendar, WHAT WILL BE MY PATTERN? Sharp edge of expectation dulled, ease, and wasteful living? Or THE LIFE IN MESSIAH? Is there an 8 Day Watch Period from Day 8 Hanukkah on Tevet 3 to Tevet 10? Or a 7 Day Watch Period from Saturnalia, on the Julian Calendar, beginning on 12-30 going to 1-5? Pattern of 7 or 8 Days, not just 1 day. Who wants to be part of the Body of Messiah-Christ, His Family, His Bride of the Ages? THE LIVES OF THE ETERNALLY REDEEMED.  THE PATTERN WILL BE OBVIOUS TO HIM, FOR EACH ADULT, WITHIN THESE 7-8 DAYS. Will The Blessed Hope and the trap (snare) for the not redeemed “earth dwellers” surprise many, by the date of Epiphany on 1-6-2023? We shall see…
