Easter traditions, cherished by millions as important parts of their religious lives, have no basis in the Bible.

The cordial atmosphere in the Oval Office suddenly changed to open hostility. Tempers flared as political allies who had gathered for a ceremonial signing were suddenly provoked when one leader tried to make the meeting more than ceremonial, raising issues that others felt were better discussed elsewhere. The highly publicized deal collapsed into an angry, name-calling shouting match, captured by television cameras, before the leader making his appeal was unceremoniously ushered out of the White House as the world watched in dismay at this potentially disastrous—but ultimately temporary—collapse of diplomacy.

A long time ago, a powerful ancient Egyptian ruler came to witness the power of a Being that was foreign to him. A voice said to this mighty Pharaoh, “Now if I had stretched out My hand and struck you and your people with pestilence, then you would have been cut off from the earth. But indeed for this purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth” (Exodus 9:15–16). - Full text here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/the-voice-of-old

In this unsettled world, there is renewed interest in Bible prophecy. A search on Amazon, the world’s biggest marketplace, will easily generate a list of 100 books the retailer “recommends,” which only scratches the surface of the number written on the subject.

A cousin of mine has been very successful in several business ventures. He has worked hard over many years and has accumulated wealth and property. He has the accouterments of luxury that one might expect, in the form of homes, cars, boats, an airplane, and a farm in the country.
