Luke 12:25-31~ span of Life

Luke 12:25-31

 And which of you 

by being anxious

 can add a single hour to his span of life? 

If 

then 

you are not able to do as small a thing as that, 

why are you anxious about the rest? 

Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 

yet I tell you

Even Solomon 

in all his glory 

was not arrayed like one of these. 

But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, 

and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, 

how much more will He clothe you, 

O you of little faith! 

And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, 

nor be worried. 

For all the nations of the world 

seek after these things, 

and 

your Father knows that you need them. 

Instead, seek The Kingdom of God, 

and all these things 

will be added to you.

Hot Topic of the last few days... aging.  God has some ideas about aging that would bring comfort, help and hope.

Recently, 2022, a papyrus dating to the actual Age of Moses.  Yes, Thee, Moses.

This is being called: THE FIND OF THE MILLENNIUM 

The 2-centimeter-square (.78-inch) amulet may be the signature discovery of a lifetime. Professor Gershon Galil of the University of Haifa said this type of discovery is made only once a millennia.  

  

New Artifact Found. 

The earliest mention of God in an Exodus Site.

Israel, near Mount Ebal

Earliest mention of God’s name found in West Bank archaeological site.

  

The finding may also spur renewed debate on the dating of biblical events, especially those told in the Book of Exodus. A peer-reviewed article is in process.

The artifact, less than 1 inch in length and width and known as a curse tablet, also recalls the account of Joshua building an altar nearby, which Israeli archaeologist Adam Zertal excavated in the 1980s.

The curse tablet was discovered near Mount Ebal, also called the Mount of the Curse in the books of Deuteronomy and Joshua. Stripling found it in a dump site, part of the structure Zertal identified as Joshua’s altar. Stripling said the finding was a confirmation of the biblical account.

In recent years, Stripling also announced the discovery of a Tabernacle platform during his ongoing excavations at biblical Shiloh.

  

Now, wonder with me, the Isaiah Bulla has a fingerprint and the world wonders if we have seen our Isaiah's Fingerprint. 

We will think about who carved this rock with God's Name. Moses?  Moses as a Prince of Egypt would read and write. Doubtful, the Children of Israel, the slaves were literate.

From Mount Ebal to Mount Gerizim. 

The Exodus Travels of Moses and the Children of Israel.

The Archaeology has been found. The Significance of Ebal is evil or curses. The opposite side of the valley is Mount Gerizim, Blessings and Goodness.

Union General Lew Wallace wrote Ben Hur. As he started the novel, Wallace wrote — I do not think myself good enough to be a communicant.

 When he finished writing, “When I had finished [the writing], I said to myself with Balthasar, “God only is so great.” I had become a believer.”

Mount Ebal – more than meets the eye - The Jerusalem Post

Mar 10, 2021 — Gerizim was the mountain now known as Tel Kabir, which is opposite the altar site. He explained that the current Mt. Gerizim was only given its ..

Professor of Archaeology Adam Zertal, University of Haifa, has undergone a transformation of faith. From finding a High Place.

“The altar was supposed to be nonexistent, a legend,” says Zertal, leaning on crutches, a legacy of wounds he suffered in combat during the 1973 Yom Kippur War against Egypt and Syria. “At first we didn’t know what we were excavating. The stones at Mount Ebal are crucial. “If this corroborates exactly what is written in that ancient part of the Bible,” says Zertal, “it means that probably other parts are historically correct. The impact is tremendous.”

Zertal believes this is the altar the Bible Moses wrote saying build on Mount Ebal, after the Israelites arrived in the promised land. This is where land is given among the 12 tribes, and where the Israelites “became a people,” as the Old Testament puts it.

We believe Moses, Prince of Egypt, spoke Directly with The Lord and the Hebrews, to ask the questions and write the Ancient Bible.  The days that wrote how old Adam and Eve became in a world brand new and clean.  And then discuss the age of Moses during the Exodus and Sarah and Abraham in their 80s. God loved and understood the importance of laughter and rest. Sarah laughed to conceive in her 80s. The Scriptures mention Sarah in her 40s. The Bible is clear and certain as to the smell of Lazarus, days in his tomb. And equally detailed is the discussion of Sarah. 

Obviously, Sarah, thousands of years from Eve, is not 400 or 600 or 800 or 40 years old.  The Lord mentions not with capitalization or exclamation marks or even Biblical Headers, that many of the Scriptural people, "would grow old."  And remember, Peter met Moses during the Transfiguration and reports, "A day to God, is a thousand of years."

Billy Joel sings only the Good Die Young.

Oh, we love our culture. And our Pop culture. (Family insider joke. A Bit inside.) But the truth is, we should look again at what God has to say about the longevity of the Disciples.  

God tells the Children of Israel to eat kosher foods.  In the Bronze Age, the average age of death was 19 to 21 years of age. Reducing the world to slaves, meager servants and huge building projects. No one considered life to be very long-lived. However, in Scriptures Proverbs, Solomon's co Authorship, speaks of grey hair and honor. David lived in war, war, war for 26 years, well beyond the regular life span. Died in his 50s. Kosher kept them alive. God was giving knowledge of cleanliness. 

Moses did God's work in his 80s and for 40 years. Salt Papyrus II tells us Moise had left Egypt from a lifespan of youth to old age.  During Pharaoh Seti II. The age of the Mt Ebel fragment. 

We consider the Disciples loved the Lord Jesus Christ and regretted their actions on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. And gave their lives. 

Yet, Loyal St. John lived unto the Second Century. Peter lived to be in his mid-60s. Timothy lived to be in his very late 80s. Almost 90. Titus lived to the 2nd Century in Crete, asking Jesus to come to Crete, the Greek Community of The Jewish Dispersion. Thaddeus is recorded to living well past old age.  The Brother of Jesus, Joseph, is recorded to have lived. As well as Jude, the Brother of Christ (who is confused in history interweaving some Thaddeaus and Jude.) Barnabas too lived to be old. The ancient Roman Empire age of death was 20 to 30 years old. And some of the Disciples only record the method of death. Not the age.

The Disciples would not have been living a kosher lifestyle.

Sarah and Abraham were involved with so many stresses, as the Disciples with stress and stress, stress. Even Paul discusses the stresses of this living in a most turbulent world. We can be sure, they rested like the 7th Day of Creation.

John 5:25-29 ~ will hear the Voice of the Son of God

 

Our heart hears the call from You.

And we see in Scripture 

the mercy of the merciful

Luke 17:17-19

Then Jesus answered, 

“Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 

Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” 

And He said to him, 

“Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.”

John 5:25-29

“Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, 

and is now 

here, 

when the dead will hear the Voice of the Son of God, 

and those who hear will live. 

 For as the Father has life in Himself, 

so He has granted the Son 

also 

to have life in Himself. 

28 Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming 

when all who are in the tombs 

will 

hear His Voice and come out

 

Those who have done good

 to 

the resurrection of life, 

and 

those who have done evil

 to 

the resurrection of judgment.”

Luke 17:17-19

Then Jesus answered, 

“Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 

Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” 

And He said to him, 

“Rise and go your way; 

your faith has made you well.”

Help us to live each day

putting You first.

As the Name of Jesus covers us

and the Holy Spirit dwells in us.

We ask healing

of Your Good Creation

So very, very many have prayed for this Nation. 

For others, others and, then, others to have peace.  The example of Poland. And Jordan. We have prayed and prayed. So very, very, very many.  We have prayed when other nations have had thousands and thousands and thousands to protest drag shows for CHILDREN.  We have prayed and prayed and prayed for a shelter for Joy, for Love and Righteousness to Prosper.

Today, tears came to my eyes. Gratitude. The Chosen, the movie, has had several Biblical type miracles. As the series, The Chosen, has actor Jonathan Roumie raise his hands to portray Jesus raising Lazarus, the wind rose and was spectacular moving exactly with His Hands. The scene was even more miraculous with the Holy Spirit Revealed.  And, by now, we have seen the video of the fish circling in a perfect circle as the series shows quite often. The Revealing of the Holy Spirit is a lifelong memory and mystery. Beauty.

When Truth is Revealed, no one forgets. God's Purpose of Righteousness and a Call to Goodness.  The up building of His People. 

Abba, Father,

We are blessed to pray
