Not anytime soon

I know when Jesus will return.

He will return when Christian peacemakers hold Palestinians accountable for their misdeeds in the Holy Land.

He will return when Christian patriarchs in Jerusalem speak the truth about what is actually going on in the Holy City.

He will return when Christian ecumenical organizations condemn violence against Christians with the same force with which they lament the necessity of Jewish self-defense.

He will return when Christians condemn efforts to deprive Jews of their lives and freedom with greater energy than they condemn Jewish efforts to protect these goods.

He will return when Christians stop lying about Jews and their state.

I know when Jesus will return.

Not today.

Not tomorrow.

Not the day after.

Not anytime soon.
