update " “Santa Obama delivered a wonderful Christmas present to Israel when the United States opted not to veto Friday’s United Nations security council vote condemning settlement policy,” he wrote in Haaretz. “The passage of the resolution won’t result in the immediate dismantling of any West Bank settlements, but the world is beginning to come to the rescue and try to save Israel from itself.”

Joel Chapter 2- Geneva has some marginal notes - that give some perspectives ...hmmm

Blow ye {{ he shows the great judgments of God which are at hand, unless they repent.}) the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for [it is] nigh at hand;

2 A{{ of affliction and trouble.}} day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a {{ meaning, the Assyrians.}} great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, [even] to the years of many generations.

Samaritans - Strictly speaking, a Samaritan would be an inhabitant of the city of Samaria, but the term was applied to all the people of the kingdom of Israel.

21יהושע said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you shall neither on this mountain, nor in Yerushalayim, worship the Father.
22“You worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, because the deliverance is of the Yehuḏim.
23“But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also does seek such to worship Him.
24“Elohim is Spirit, and those who worship Him need to worship in spirit and truth.”

Revelation 18
4 And I heard another voice from the heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.

5“Because her sins have piled up to reach the heaven, and Elohim has remembered her unrighteousnesses.
Blessed are you whenever they revile you and persecute you and they say every evil word against you for my sake, in falsehood. 12 Then rejoice and triumph, because your reward is great in Heaven, for just so they persecuted The Prophets who were before you. ( From the Tanakh )

13You are the salt of the earth, but if salt becomes insipid, with what will it be salted? It is good for nothing except to be thrown outside and to be trodden upon by people.

14 You are the light of the world. You cannot hide a city that has been built upon a mountain. 15And they do not light a lamp and set it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all those who are in the house. 16 Thus your light will shine before the children of men that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who is in Heaven.

17 Do not think that I have come to revoke The Written Law or The Prophets; I am not come to revoke but to fulfill. 18Amen, I say to you that until Heaven and earth will pass away, one Yodh or one Taag will not pass away from The Written Law until everything will happen. 19 Everyone therefore who violates one of these small commandments and will teach thus to the children of men will be called small in the Kingdom of Heaven, but everyone who will do and will teach the same will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Zephaniah 2
before the decree is born – the day shall pass on like chaff – before the burning wrath of יהוה comes upon you, before the day of wrath of יהוה comes upon you!
3Seek יהוה, all you meek ones of the earth, who have done His right-ruling. Seek righteousness, seek meekness, if so be that you are hidden in the day of wrath of יהוה.
