If you set a trap for others,
you will get caught in it yourself.
If you roll a boulder down on others,
it will crush you instead.
Proverbs 26:27
Those who lead good people along an evil path
will fall into their own trap,
but the honest will inherit good things.
Proverbs 28:10
A proverbs were/are noted among the wise sayings accepted also generically by the unbelieving world too in many ways. With the over arching architecture of what literary type and style proverbs is "under the sun.."...for all mankind...wow...such fitting and great quotes timing...thought and care,
Everlasting.
I believe this vibe is quite a bit more prophetic in leaning than perhaps pinning the tail of the Revelation and Matt 24 motifs onto our age. Why?
Isreal. She is the behemoth "live" hot link "reactivating" one, before our eyes--I believe. And where did Israel leave off? With the Post Exilic books. There was nothing after their cannon accepted.
The Megillah (Book of Esther)
Esther is the heroine of the
Purim story, in which the Jewish people who live in the sprawling Persian Empire are saved from
Haman’s evil scheme to annihilate them. The dramatic saga was written down so that Jewish people could read about the amazing turn of events every year on the
holiday of Purim, the anniversary of the Jews’ victory over their enemies.
The Megillah of Esther (
megillah means “scroll” in Hebrew) is one of the five
megillahs that are included in the biblical canon. Esther is the only one to be commonly read from a handwritten parchment scroll.

So Esther was the leading Megillah. It was like considered the reference of the Megillah's.
- Rejected by Essenes because it was too...drum roll please..."patriotic," and "nationalistic."
- Marying a gentile king?
- Esther called by Babylonian name/the king by Hebrew?
- So so so many controversies (I think i once counted 23)
So Esther is queen of Megillah and leading Post Exilic scroll. Last to be canonized...some believe last to be written. So the irony would be that this book of Esther would be noted officially where the Hebrew bible left off. So many overtures of our day. In America we see the Road Runner cartoon with Wile E Coyote = Globalism. At least that is the movie i'm watching...lol.
So i bring this up because i think there is a lot of connection with "Where Isreal left off," and "Where we are today," and "How that all fits in with Ez 38." What is the hot link last biblical book for Israel? Esther. What is the last book in the Old Testament provisioning a holy day? Eshter. What can remind Israel of Esther today? The Great American Cartoon. Some would be in shock to make such comparatives.
But i thank you for referencing Proverbs. For they fit well into Esther with its very ripe theme of ironic justice. Me thinks the Ironic justice in America is (very likely coming) = to a providential wink from the eye of God using the gentile church lead nation America, jealously seen as "the ones the age of grace had been provisioned for to wink at Israel through (whereas MAGA is just a distraction i believe from God providentially using America to wink at Israel). Asking Israel, "Hey, do you guys remember where we left off in the Old Testament?" lol. As a hyperlink emerging for Isreal because she still has one of her weeks in play yet forth coming. Hyperlinked back to Esther via America brought to you by Esther Road Runner Road Show Production Company.

I just think that if we do the naturally neighborly thing to do in light of Romans 11:18, we would step away from our professional prophecy making mantle and simply defer to Isreal and how God is doing things today through their eyes. Having a conscientious heart in politely honoring the place God Himself has given Israel now upon her 70th week. And honoring respectfully a place for Israel even in her unbelief because of Romans 11 warning us not to put ourselves in place of her vision or ontology before God. For to me it would seem that Israel has been primed to see prophecy through if we let our own blueprints pale in comparison to just simply looking at how God would be looking at things in relation now to Israel. When we do that, we see things quite differently.
So for me it would seem that as we get over ourselves and humbly see things through the eyes of Israel as an end time hermeneutic, we see very different things. As America baffles the prophecy watchers scurrying to find her a place in prophecy or weed her out because she certainly doth not belong. But really, I believe if we just turned our heads a little to the East. Looked at things as though the church might not have the upper hand in how to see "all things prophetically." And make room for God's consideration of our spiritual ancestor, Israel--currently in real time (where we might otherwise sense we are the major players), its pretty dang simple to make sense of just about everything. In a comic book fashion a child could enjoy.
Of course i am always interested in the many views of watchers, because i believe also that God hath buckshotted clues among the Christian camps. So the more we work together and John 15:15 love one another (instead of the Facebook Arm-wrestle recipe of disowning all believers who don't agree with us), the more we will have "eyes to see." Because we will be in living light of God calling us His friend. And "Know what the Father is doing," more or less...i believe. So i don't think there is no place for the church or watcher views. I just think that if in our hearts in deep faith understand Romans 11 at a time we might otherwise really want to be right about this or that...as a christian community just relax a bit more (speaking of evangelicalism in general) and consider the lilies of the field. Or rather, the fig tree coming green before us. And to Him, through them, what that kind of might mean too. That story Trumps the NWO meets the tribulation by 1,000 fold. Because it sees the heart of God in scripture. The One telling the story. Me thinks.
Anywayz could not resist this opportunity in light and like of your awesome offering of proverbs. So very precious dear saint to serve them as lunch for us. They are very timely. And rather gourmet in their context here with us. Blessings.
