U.S. SUPREME COURT BRINGS DOWN TEN COMMANDMENTS

By James Vicini WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed the removal of a granite monument of the Ten Commandments from the front of an Indiana city hall... More at http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20010529/ts/court_commandments_dc_2.html

This happened on Tuesday, May 29, 2001, which happens to be Sivan 7, or the second day of Shavuot on the modern Jewish calendar.

Ironically, Shavuot celebrates the GIVING of the Ten Commandments by God to Moses, "the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones" (2 Corinthans 3:7), when 3,000 died (Exodus 32:28).

It is also the same as the Day of Pentecost, when 3,000 people were given life (Acts 2:41).

On Shavout, God giveth, and on the same day, the U.S. Supreme Court taketh away.

This unusual timing of the Supreme Court action seems strangely ominous to me, with much symbolism. Along with urging Israel to surrender her God-given land, this is another blemish in America's record before God on this spiritually significant day.
