Please don’t go into the “we are not under the old law.”
The Jewish wedding particulars are an illustration of the relationship that we have with our Groom, Jesus. The more you know about it from beginning to end, the richer the understanding becomes.
As the Spirit had recorded in Luke and John, we find the traditional seder meal used by Jesus to explain to His Jewish apostles what was about to be and its significance.
Luke 22:14-20 YLT
14 "And when the hour come, he reclined (at meat), and the twelve apostles with him,
15 and he said unto them, `With desire I did desire to eat this passover with you before my suffering,
16 for I say to you, that no more may I eat of it till it may be fulfilled in the reign of God.’
17 And having taken a cup, having given thanks, he said, `Take this and divide to yourselves,
18 for I say to you that I may not drink of the produce of the vine TILL the reign of God may come.’
19 And having taken bread, having given thanks, he brake and gave to them, saying, `This is my body, that for you is being given, this do ye – to remembrance of me.’
20 In like manner, also, the cup after the supping, saying, `This cup [is] the new covenant in my blood, that for you is being poured forth."
I always assumed that Jesus drank from the cup (cups) of wine until I read it in Young’s Literal Translation. You read it, please. It reads to me that while Jesus ATE the food, He did not Drink the wine. He said that He will wait until the reign of God. The Bride / Groom feast.
I found this video today of the seder meal explained. If you don’t already know about the significance of the third cup of wine, then this, I hope, will be a blessing to you. Verse 20 will become crystal clear.

No idea, but I was thinking early in the vid that he looks tired. Not tired like “today” tired, but Tired. Looks like he’s going through some stuff. We need to honor him & pray for him.

he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,

Congratulations Tony … I mean Pappy. 
You say in a week you will know if the baby is a girl or boy. I am guessing that you will be hoarding in to get a clear view of the ultrasound. I have prayed for your daughter, child, son-in-law, and family.
A child is a wonderful blessing of God’s. Right now, God is knitting together this little one with everything they will need. A tiny bundle of purity’s best.
(Tongue in cheek) The name is the nature. I would have renamed my two children as Hope of Sleep or Cries Little. 
Blessings

AMEN to that Jack. I forget for a second or two what is really going on in the world, but I soon get a cold slap upside the head and my mind is clear again…lol. There is so much action and reaction from the churches anymore and if you can get away and clear the cobwebs, you realize, again, Who is in charge.
Thank you for that reminder. Keep saying it loud and clear. We all need this gentle reminder and stern warning, again!!

Yes that is where I stand. I am excited with enough reservation to know I might go in the first wave if I don’t live long enough to make it to the Rapture. But I am good to wait for the big fish to take the bait and suprise the daylights out of me with a bent rod and a screaming drag. Murphy has always been my close friend so I am use to such surprises.

Yep and He does not always tell us the detail to every plan. If He did we would surely mess it up. Best we remain ignorant on some points. Too many cooks spoil the broth as the saying goes.

While waiting for BPU, another movie vividly displaying Christian Nationalism:
Praying for Armageddon: Evangelicals, the US and the Middle East
Episode 1 of a doomsday political thriller about evangelical Christian influence on US foreign policy in the Middle East.
The first episode of Praying for Armageddon goes inside the evangelical Christian movement to explore its influence on US democracy and foreign policy.
Preparing for the “end times”, a grassroots pastor gathers an army of veterans in the heartland of the United States, and megachurch ministers provide spiritual advice to politicians in the nation’s capital.
Episode 2 of a doomsday political thriller about the brutal consequences of evangelical Christian influence on US foreign policy in the Middle East.
The second episode of Praying for Armageddon examines the dangerous consequences of the fusion between evangelical Christians and US politics.
A documentary film by Tonje Hessen Schei.
------------------------------------
My observations/comments: The Al-Jazeera news network screened these series in Youtube already. The documentary mentioned CUFI organization headed by John Hagee.
John Hagee, the founder and chairman of Christians United for Israel (CUFI), has been a controversial figure in some circles due to his teachings and statements. Some critics have pointed out what they perceive as false teachings or controversial beliefs associated with Hagee and CUFI. Here are some points that have been raised:
- Christian Zionism: Hagee’s strong advocacy for Israel and the political ideology of Christian Zionism has been criticized by some theologians and Christian leaders who argue that it prioritizes geopolitical agendas over Christian values of justice and peace.
- End Times Theology: Hagee has been known for his specific interpretations of biblical prophecy, particularly concerning the end times. Critics argue that his interpretations are overly sensationalized and may lead to fearmongering or a distorted understanding of biblical teachings.
- Dual Covenant Theology: Hagee has been accused of promoting a form of dual covenant theology, which suggests that Jews can be saved through the Mosaic Covenant without accepting Jesus as the Messiah. This view is controversial within mainstream Christian theology, which typically emphasizes salvation through Jesus Christ alone.
- Controversial Statements: Hagee has made various controversial statements over the years, including remarks about the role of Jews in bringing about the Holocaust and attributing natural disasters to God’s judgment. Critics argue that such statements are inflammatory and insensitive.
- Prosperity Gospel: While not as central to his teachings as some other prosperity preachers, Hagee has been accused of promoting elements of the prosperity gospel, which emphasizes material wealth and success as signs of God’s favor. Critics argue that this can lead to a shallow or materialistic interpretation of Christianity.

Love the prophetic parallel here!
And interesting how the eclipse is happening around the time when many gentile believers around the world are celebrating Jesus’s resurrection!
We must watch and be ready at ALL times.
He rolled the stone away.
