Pentecost. Shavout. This Thursday sundown marks the absolute essence of the Judeo-Christian foundation of our courts and our Constitution based on the moral compass established many thousands of years ago on Sinai.
It was these days leading up to Pentecost (Shavout in Hebrew), the Jews anxiously awaited Moses return from the Mountain where G-d was speaking to Moses, giving direction for this small portion of humanity G-d had chosen to be a light unto the world, to demonstrate the power of the blessings Life and Faith in the Almighty would bring: Ten Commandments that changed the world. Western civilization has been built on the edict written on stone tablets by The Hand of G-d.
Forward a thousand+ years and another very small group of Jews sat waiting. These were the disciples of Jesus, waiting solemnly in a room, knowing Shavout (Pentecost) was coming, hoping, praying for divine direction. This Pentecost, as before, there was fire, but this Shavout was a spiritual reckoning. Not the Finger but the Spirit of God descended, telling these Jews that they were to go forth to illuminate the entire world “so that whoever calls upon The Name of The Lord shall be saved.” Allelujah!
God spoke clearly through Moses and Jesus: to love God means to obey His Commandments. Obedience is key to blessings, to Life, to salvation...to Love, to Wisdom. God’s laws are not w***y nilly or capricious: His laws make us whole, healthy, give us a joyous fulfilled life. ⚓️
Our government tossed prayer, the Bible and God out of schools and out of the workplace a few decades ago. It is now moving toward taking over our children completely with every ungodly woke notion that rises its evil head. Our Nation under God is in cultural, civil and social chaos. We are in a battle to defend The Light against darkness. 🕊
Take some time Thursday and Friday as Believers around the world observe and celebrate Shavout/Pentecost. Consider the value of and thank God for our wonderful Instruction Book.
Keep God’s love held tightly in your spirit and His wise Commandments inscribed on your heart. L’Chaim. 💜
