“THEREFORE, behold! the days come; and the times shall hasten more than the former, and the seasons shall speed on more than those that are past; and the years shall pass more quickly than the present years. Therefore have I now taken away Tsiyon, that I may the more speedily visit the world in its season. Now therefore hold fast in your heart everything that I command you, and seal it in the recesses of your mind. And then I will show you the judgment of my might, and my ways which are unsearchable.” 2 Baruk 20:1-4 את CEPHER “And it shall come to pass in those days that all the inhabitants of the earth shall be moved one against another because they know not that my judgment has drawn nigh. For there shall not be found many wise at that time, and the intelligent shall be but a few. Moreover, even those who know shall most of all be silent. And there shall be many rumours and tidings not a few and the doings of phantasmata shall be manifest and promises not a few be recounted. Some of them shall prove idle, And some of them shall be confirmed.” 2 Baruk 48:32-34 את CEPHER “Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Will a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing? Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all? Shall a shofar be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and Yahuah has not done it? Surely Adonai Yahuah will do nothing, but he reveals his secret unto his servants the prophets. The lion has roared, who will not fear? Adonai Yahuah has spoken, who can but prophesy?” AMOS 3:3-8 את CEPHER
