Anyone doing Sukkot in South Eastern USA ?
The incident of the woman accused of adultery in John 8 happened on either the Eighth Day of #sukkot (the Feast of #tabernacles) or immediately after the feast. Is the timing significant? Probably.
Consider that this was a conflict over the correct application of the Law, that the entire Law is to be read to the people every seven years at Sukkot, and that there is a traditional event immediately following Sukkot called Simchat Torah (Joy of Torah).
Yeshua's admonitions to the accusers and to the woman were reminders that God's Law is not a burden, that it is supposed to lead us into greater freedom through alignment with God's purposes, not to be used as a weapon to shame and control people.

On this date in history, 09/28/1778: The Baylor Massacre near Tappan, New Jersey. In the middle of the night, British infantry surprise a small contingent of American cavalry being housed in a farmhouse, killing three out of four officers and nine out of sixteen privates. #otd #tdih https://www.historycarper.com/....category/battles/ame

70th week of Daniel
I like to question everything. Not out of rebellion, but because I want to learn. I like deep discussions as it gives everyone a chance to share their understanding.
The 70th week of Daniel has been sitting a bit "skew" in my throat for quite some time. My thinking is, why would this one prophecy be broken up in such a way; 69 weeks + 1 week 2000 years later. Are we taught this due to "traditions of men" and now hold onto it as it is truth?
We are told that it refers to the anti-Christ, but if the verse is read through different glasses then it looks more like it could be speaking of Yeshua ending the sacrifices...
If we calculate the initial 69 weeks then if comes to when Yeshua started His ministry. The standard belief is that He ministered for 3.5 years and was then crucified. At His crucifixion the veil in the temple was ripped; top down. Therefore sacrifices should strictly have stopped at that point.
I can't find a marker 3.5 years after Yeshua's crucifixion to complete the 70th week if this interpretation of the prophecy is correct.
What are your thoughts on this?
It seems to me that liberal families have no trouble keeping their kids liberal.
But conservative families on the other hand, totally different story.
Why? Take a wild guess. What does the liberal family and the conservative family have in common?
