The Wrath of God!
John Bellam - https://www.rev310.net/post/the-wrath-of-god
It is the one thing the world should fear most! The thing that the Church should be warning the world of constantly. The thing that makes demons shriek and Satan flee. It once caused the ancient world to implode and the waters of the deep to burst forth like raging tears. It will one day cause the universe to melt and turn to dust at the sound of His sovereign command. It is indescribable and unfathomable and yet terrifyingly inevitable! And it is the one thing we all should seek above all things to avoid. It is the wrath of Almighty God! And it is coming…it is even right now at the world’s doorstep!

Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement – Understanding Judaism’s holiest day
J. Micah Hancock - https://allisraelnews.com/yom-kippur-the-day-of-atonement-understanding-judaism-s-holiest-day
With Yom Teruah celebrated one week ago, we are moving close to the end of the ‘Ten Days of Awe,’ during which religious Jews seek forgiveness for wrongs committed in the past year, ahead of the Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
During this time, religious Jews believe that God has the Books of Fate open and is assessing each person, to decide whether to write their name into the Book of Life or the Book of Death. Those books are closed on Yom Kippur, according to tradition, so the Ten Days of Awe, also known as the Days of Repentance, are viewed as the last chance to make things right with God and people.
Yom Kippur is a solemn day, and in modern Judaism is the most important, and probably the most observed holiday on the Jewish calendar.
In Israel, where most communities have a synagogue within walking distance due to halakhic requirements, (Jewish religious law is referred to as Halakhah), the synagogue is at the center of Yom Kippur.
