Opening to NUMBERS 12-13:
In Numbers 10 we heard about the signals given to the people using two silver trumpets, and about the first journey leaving Mount Sinai. Then we heard of the start of the grumbling against Moses and God. Moses appointed 70 leaders, and God sent quail in response to the people's complaints. Even Moses said some things that sound like complaining to me. But remember the name Kibroth Hattaavah. We have strong evidence that God doesn’t like complainers.
We turn to PSALM 33.
This psalm is full of important wisdom for us! This is the 4th Psalm without a title given by the rabbis.
We turn for the second time to LUKE 21.
Chapter 21 starts with the short account about the widow's offering exceeding (according to heavenly reckoning) the large gifts of the rich. Most of the chapter is Jesus' important prophecies about signs that will occur before he returns.
Translation notes:
22 For those will be [the prophecied ‘/‘The] Days of Punishment,’ to make come true all that the Scriptures say.
27 Then [I,] the Son of Man will appear, coming in a cloud with great power and glory.
35 like a trap. For it will [suddenly] come upon all people everywhere on earth.
36 Be on watch and pray always that you will have the strength to go safely through all those things that will happen and to stand before [Me,] the Son of Man.”
