The planets circle in their orbits, and once in a while a few of them line up with Earth. That phenomenon occurs later this year when the ancient Mayan calendar runs down, and there are all kinds of fearful predictions joined with global warming and irrational announcements by certain national rulers and fanatical biblicists alike. Do Not Be Afraid: may phobos, in Greek, from whence English derives phobia. Jeremiah is not the only prophet who calls us to faith, not fear. We can stand with him to affirm that Yahweh is creator (verse 1) and has our best interests in hand. We can also stand with historic persons such as St. Remigius of Rheims (Fifth century France) who upheld the Trinity which means that Y'shua of Nazareth is One with Yahweh and the Holy Spirit, together the One creator and sole ruler of the universe. Remigius was up against those who argued against the divinity of Y'shua, an opinion expressed by many people today. The ways and gods of the nations still demand allegiance, but the one who knows us best, our triune Creator, blooms among the weeds of sophistry for our well-being. Fear Not.
Shalom, Mother BE
