Psalm 144:9-15
I will sing a new song to you, O God;
upon a ten-stringed harp I will play to you,
10 who gives victory to kings,
who rescues David his servant from the cruel sword.
11 Rescue me and deliver me
from the hand of foreigners,
whose mouths speak lies
and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
12 May our sons in their youth
be like plants full grown,
our daughters like corner pillars
cut for the structure of a palace;
13 may our granaries be full,
providing all kinds of produce;
may our sheep bring forth thousands
and ten thousands in our fields;
14 may our cattle be heavy with young,
suffering no mishap or failure in bearing;
may there be no cry of distress in our streets!
15 Blessed are the people to whom such blessings fall!
Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!
Blessings, Blessings, Blessings!
Septuagint!
The full title in Ancient Greek: Ἡ μετάφρασις τῶν Ἑβδομήκοντα, lit. 'The Translation of the Seventy', derives from the record Aristeas Letter the Septuagint was translated at the request of Ptolemy II Philadelphus (285–247 BC) by 70 Jewish scholars or, according to later tradition, 72, (exactly the number of Disciples Jesus sent out) with six scholars from each of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, who
independently -
produced identical translations.
The miraculous character of the Aristeas legend indicates the translations incredible esteem held by the ancient Jewish diaspora and, later, early Christian circles. This wonder of the world was the first Dead Sea Scrolls understanding identical event.
A Greek translation was circulating among the Alexandrian Jews who were fluent in Greek but not in Hebrew. Like the Jews, in the Gospels, asking Jesus to live with them on the Greek Island of Crete.
The evidence of Egyptian papyri from the period have led most scholars to view as probable Aristeas's dating of the translation of the Pentateuch to the third century BC. Homerun.
Punctuation!
Remember "Where's the Beef?"
Remember "Where's the Beef?"
The Septuagint was possible because God's Word has been told to the ones seeking God as, "Breathed out in one continuous word or sentence." In fact, for generations and millenniums people argued God's Word is One Word. Causing us to remember St. Patrick drove the snakes from Ireland is actually talking about Druids who killed people horrendously and slowly for fear and power. In cages dropped into the swamp. Snakes.
God's Word is One Word correctly said explains in how many levels? Hear O Israel, The Lord Thy God is One. There is one Father, one Son and one Holy Spirit. The Father is God the Almighty from Alpha to Omega, all things are created from the Father for His Purpose. The Son gives the Father's Plan grace upon grace. We have beheld His Glory. The Holy Spirit lives and moves and dwells in mankind as the Light of the world. The Trinity works in unison to produce God's Good Will.
God's Word is One. His Word is Law and so exact the Universe is upheld by His Word. The Word of God is one continuous Word without stops or punctuation. Because God's Greatness is Unsearchable.
God's Word is So Unsearchable, His Plan so incredibly detailed and precise the Universe is upheld and His Plan is explained without a pause.
God's Word is One. Papyrus 46 owned by the University of Michigan is 300 intact portions of the Bible. From 90 A.D. to 120 A.D. During the Beloved Disciple John's Lifetime. How will the date of authorship be determined. Great question. By verb usage. There is not a lot of punctuation in God's One Word. 'Where's the Beef' is about the 'groovy' extent of date determination. Grammercy. Thankyou, Thankyou verymuch.
God's Word is One. When God died on the Cross, God was there. When Jesus and the people of the Resurrection went into Jerusalem. God is there. Emmanuel.
Matthew 27
52 The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised. 53 After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people. 54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified and said,
“Truly this was the Son of God.”
Clearly - Jesus was much more than we tend to believe in our small boxes marked Jesus and produced by Tupperware - we all tend to use. Three Roman Empire Historians record Pontius Pilate sent Emperor Claudius an incredibly detailed account of Good Friday. This is not the Easter Bunny. Nor happy, pappy Tannenbaum. We are addressing the purpose of Life and the Creation of the Universe. Some people call this The Multiple Big Bang Theory. We address this as Shepherd of our Souls, Jesus the Christ of God. Constancy and faithfulness to generations to welcome us to Live Eternally in His Kingdom. Love, Grace and Mercy.
When we say the Universe exists... why wouldn't the God of All plan for His Kingdom in Eternity?
Have You Wondered?
Luke 2
2 In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2 This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to be registered, each to his own town. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. 6 And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
8 And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. 10 And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
15 When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. 17 And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. 18 And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.
21 And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 And when the time came for their purification according to the Law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord 23 (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every male who first opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”) 24 and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the Law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.” 25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ. 27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the Law, 28 he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said,
29 “Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace,
according to your word;
30 for my eyes have seen your salvation
31 that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
and for glory to your people Israel.”
33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him. 34 And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed 35 (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), so that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.”
36 And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived with her husband seven years from when she was a virgin, 37 and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day. 38 And coming up at that very hour she began to give thanks to God and to speak of him to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
39 And when they had performed everything according to the Law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. 40 And the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom. And the favor of God was upon him.
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom. 43 And when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it, 44 but supposing him to be in the group they went a day's journey, but then they began to search for him among their relatives and acquaintances, 45 and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching for him. 46 After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 And when his parents saw him, they were astonished. And his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.” 49 And he said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?” 50 And they did not understand the saying that he spoke to them. 51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was submissive to them. And his mother treasured up all these things in her heart.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man.
And.
And. And. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. God's Word is one Continuous Word. God's Word is One. Why we see "And" in the Gospels so much. We cannot possibly fulfill God's Word. John tells us so much was happening in the Life of Jesus, no human being could record all of His Grace upon Grace life on earth. Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of every dot and iota of God's One Word.
Abba,
There is One Who is Good. Jesus Christ, One with the Father.
Father, as a Child of God, I invite You to Live in me. To dwell. To carry me in Your Plan and Purpose. I believe Your Good is for me, in Jesus Christ. I rejoice Jesus is My Salvation and removes my transgressions as far as East from West. Forever You will remember my sins no more. Blessed is the One who is held Righteous as the Free Gift of Jesus Christ. The Name of Jesus covers me and when You see me You see Jesus and will remember Your Word nothing can take me from You.
Blessed is the Child of God who believes in You in Jesus Christ. Amen.
♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
