"What are the Jewish prophetc gestalts associated with Passover these days?

That is, are there any assumptions or traditions to expect any particular types of prophetic events or Godly interventions around the time of Passover vs other times?
"

Since it doesn't look like anyone replied to your question, I thought I'd take a stab at it. I'm not that religious but I do value tradition, including Christian and Catholic traditions, versus secular relativism. But anyway, here it goes.

One of the differences between Judaism and Christianity is that Jews don't pray for divine intervention. They worship G-d and praise his holiness, but these types of holidays remind people that they alone are responsible for their behavior and the end-results that they get. Passover is the ultimate liberation story of the exodus of Ancient Hebrews from Egypt.

Jews must remember the bitterness and hardship that come with oppression and enslavement, in order to steel themselves against any such future effort to enslave for enslavement (Why some Jews haven't figured out that Socialism is a form of enslavement, I'll address a bit later). Passover is the holiday to do that.

So why in the world are so many of my fellow Jews liberals when Judaism is a very Conservative oriented religion, in my opinion? I don't know other than to think about a phrase that a secular Muslim friend of mine says. For those who fancy themselves as intellectuals, he states that they think they are "smarter than Allah". I think many Jews think they are more intellectual than they really are and are willing to ignore basic truths for the purpose of indulging their own inflated egos.

I hope this helps.
