So I couldn't help but notice something in Pence's letter to Nancy.

He says:

After the horrific events of this last week , our Administration's energy is directed to ensuring an orderly transition. The Bible says that “for everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven ...a time to heal ... and a time to build up.” That time is now . In the midst of a global pandemic, economic hardship for millions of Americans, and the tragic events of January 6th, now is the time for us to come together, now is the time to heal.

He's quoting Ecclesiastes 3. But he's misquoting it. And I believe on purpose.

"a time to heal" and "a time to build up" are in different lines.

Before "a time to heal", it says a "time to kill". Before it says "a time to build", it says "a time to tear down".

And in the same sentence, it says "A time for war and a time for peace".

Its a beautiful passage frankly, one of my favorite in the whole book. Full text here: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ecclesiastes%203&version=NIV

TLDR: Me thinks Pence is making a veiled threat, that there is a time to kill, and a time for war. Whether that time is now, is up to he democrats and their action.

Pence is a man of the cloth, he picked that verse on purpose. If he just wanted a passage that preached peace and love and forgiveness, there's plenty in there that don't also, literally in in the same sentence, allude to killing and war.
