AP, Tel Aviv: Violet light bathed the club stage as 300 people, masked and socially distanced, erupted in gentle applause. For the first time since the pandemic began, Israeli musician Aviv Geffen stepped to his electric piano and began to play for an audience seated right in front of him.

And their gold will be like refuse;
Their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them

Ezekiel warned God’s people that judgment was coming. In the same way, the Apostle John warned a future Jewish people that a final judgment will come and their great wealth will be worthless in the Day of the Lord (Jeremiah 39:7).
