In my search in the Bible I’ve found both good and bad reviews about which Prophet to the King would bring the right decision in planning war. Young or new kings, and leaders sought advice based on the sage or not so wise advice of other men.
And today I’m going to play: OPEN MY BIBLE and radonly seek to find SYMBOLS of HOPE. The only clue I will use to begin, will be little prayer for the Holy Spirit to guide my “SEARCH.”
For some nutty reason today I’ve turned my Bible sideways and upside down, just to make sure I’m not preferring the Old or New Testament.
- OMB (Open My Bible) to Jeremiah 17:2- Jeremiah 17:27 and the only bold print on these two pages is: KEEPING THE SABBATH HOLY
- Already my mind set is prepared for something OLD, something NEW and something I don’t know to show up.
- FIRST WORDS THAT ARE SYMBOLS in Jeremiah 17:2 are:
A. tablets B. hearts C.Horns D.Altars E. Children remeber F. Their altars G. and Asherah pole H. Spreading Trees, I. High Hills, J. My Mountain K. In the land L. and your wealth M. and all your treasures. N. I O. will give away as plunder P. together with your high places Q. because of your sins Q. though out your country. R. Through you own faults S. You will lose S. The inheritance T. I GAVE YOU U. I will enslave you to your enemies V. In a land you do not know W. for you X. Have kindles Y My anger Z And it will Burn forever.
I have never see so many Bible Symbols in my life, in just FOUR VERSES from Jeremiah 17:part of verse 1 and through verse 4.
TABLETS: It is as if God knows we are storing up information on the chalk boards of our minds. (This is just my idea and not something profound.
HEARTS: This cannot be my real heart, but something I can profit from learning.
HORNS: Now I need to go to my ESWORD.come BIBLE SEARCH or BIBLEGATEWAY.com both free sites to SEARCH for words in the Bible. I have found some sites do not wish you to know certain things, and sometimes I have to compare one with the other.
So here goes:
Upper left corner of ESWORD.com click on BIBLE, pick SERACH from drop down. I am already asking myself about this first word called “tablets” and what comes to my mind is something the doctor orders for you to eat, to solve your medical problems. lol
Today my husband is talking in his sleep and saying, “I want something to eat.” When Terry talks in his sleep I never know what he is going to say. So I just asked him, “Do you want something to eat?” And he laughed and said, “No, I’m not hungry.” I told him, “It raining cats and dogs outside.” and he said, “What does that mean?” And then he added, “If you go outside you can have a shower.” And I laughed. 5 a,m, May 25, 2020, This quiet man has a way of saying things I don’t understand out of the clear blue, but somewhere on the tablet of my mind, I’ve heard people say, “It’s raining cats and dogs?” And really don’t know what that means either.lol
HERE WE GO: I’m putting TABLETS into my Bible ESWORD SERACH ENGINE…(engine? Is this a train of thought we are going to pursue?)
A. TABLETS:
Exo_35:22 And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the LORD.
Num_31:50 We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.
Isa_3:20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
3 verses found, 3 matches
Exodus 1 verse found 1 match Numbers 1 verse found 1 match Isaiah 1 verse found 1 match
I’m showing you what the Bible Search should bring up. And I am already AMAZED that “tablets” were brought somewhere by people with “willing hearts” along with bracelets, earrings and rings and tablets, all jewels and gold (now they’ve got my attention) and very man, that offered, offered an offring of GOLD TO THE LORD. NEW WORD COMING UP…
INTERUPTION: “Connie, where are my shoes? I had em on when I went to bed.” I have to laugh because i slipped into his slippers. ” I slipped into your slippers.” I said.
“Your feet must have been to big.” Terry figures
INTERUPTION: Terry is talking in the other room.
“I don’t know where I am at.” Terry’s groan and fear is heard in his voice.”
Connie, “Terry were here in Beaver City.”
Terry, “Why are we in Beaver City?”
Connie, “That’s where we live. Where did you think we live?”
Terry, “Probably New York.” [demonstation of Terrys dry humor.]
The strange and wonderful mind of a man is working his brain overtime to find out, “Where am I?” And perhaps we all seem strangely connected to this idea ourselves. Where am I and where am I going. This journey is not complete without asking the question, “Who lives out there in those stars and can it be possible for me to go there and find out?”
INTERUPTION IN MY BRAIN-I wonder if anyone would permit me to give a serman
INTERUPTION: cat wants in. Turned on the light at the back door she came running. Feet feel different going down stairs, yep these slippers could be a real hazard and an old lady could slip. Missed the spoon with red handle and found a melon carver in the drawer, know that isn’t a typical spoon but it works. Babe the cat is purring, nice music to my ears and she’s rubbing up against my leg and watching out for my slippers. TIME to fish for treasures in the kitty litter. You never know what you’ll find there. NOW: certainly God knew its not good to sit and type and think without getting a little exercise and the cat likes water and that sounds like a good idea for me to get a drink. 5:30 a.m. and now I hear the cat MEOW, that strange kind of MEOW, as pushes open the door, and searches the room by first rubbing her coat of hair against my leg. Now she’s debating where she wants to sit, and taps at the box of watercolors on my desk, which i remove, and now I have big hairy pet, cleaning her white tipped paws, on my open Bible and I can continue with my work of showing you what it’s like to have a friend purring but looking for a chance to find rest, without me ignoring her…must be gong through her mind.
I am expecting her white tipped paw, to tap my hand and she might be tempted to get me to pet her.
BACK TO WORK: Tablets mixed with jew….OK, she got two white paws with very sharp claws working on my left hand, and she is being very good at not using them to claw. She’s purring and trying to draw me to pet her tummy and I hope this distraction will go away. She finally turned to rest her head on the back of the desk, her usualy place and she’s ready to settle down with her music before she goes to sleep
BACK TO WORK: 5:39 AM I’m getting my a.m. and AM’s together
This idea of tablets mixed with jewelry and gold, must mean they have some value in EXODUS, which reminds me. THIS FACT OF SERACHING FOR WORDS, makes what I call a “PROPHETIC FUNCTION.”
Prophets were Poets. When you read the prophets, poets, listen for the “change in voices.” Like the cat, who purrs the poets repeated themselves, and this changes the words, but in repeating, it expands the mind and asks the questions like. WHO brought these tablest? Where did they come from? Why were they gifts and to whom? WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, and WHY are all legitimate questions and like a tree that grows branches, it is now called, “following the rabbit trail,” by many wise men.
But like the cat, demaning my attnetion, and getting me to feed, water and care for her…THE BIBLE DESIRES to bring us to a spot…where team work would help, and its pleasant to learn something new each day.
Mom used to say, “Do a good thing for someone every day.” “And today, she went on, I let the man ahead of me turn first.” and we laughed. Mom was a woman of action and multitasking and slowing down to give someone the right-of-way was teaching us to relax and savor the moments.
BACK TO WORK: 5:48 AM
WHAT? What does is say in Numbers What does oblation mean? Oblation (a solemn offering or presentation to God) quick answer. However the presentation part goes on to explain
It is thus applied to certain parts of the Eucharistic service in liturgical Christianity. The rites of Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Anglicanism, and some Lutheran churches employ an oblation: gifts of bread and wine are offered to God.[1][2][3]
Liturgically speaking, there are two oblations: the lesser oblation, sometimes known as the offertory, in which the bread and wine, as yet unconsecrated, are presented and offered to God, and the greater oblation, the oblation proper, in which the Body and Blood of Christ are offered to God, the Father.
The word oblate is also an ecclesiastical term for persons who have devoted themselves or have been devoted as children by their parents to a monastic life. Oblate is more familiar in the Roman Catholic Church as the name of a Religious Congregation of secular or diocesan priests, the Oblate Fathers of St. Charles. They are placed under the absolute authority of the bishop of the diocese in which they are established and can be employed by him on any duties he may think fit. This congregation was founded in 1578 under the name of Oblates of the Blessed Virgin and St. Ambrose by St. Charles Borromeo, Archbishop of Milan.
A similar congregation of secular priests, the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, was founded at Marseilles in 1815.
I hear myself sucking in air…am I reading this right? The gifts brought to God in the Old Testament, changed to be “a tradition and presentation, an order of religious duties the priests think fit?
And the secular priests, founded the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, in 1815. Women wanting to give themselves to GOD, found themselves to be “the offering to God” rather than men offering what they had of their own to give to God, these woman because their servants? (The cat is snoring)
I am appaled at the meaning of “tablets” that brings us back to the establishment of Priests, making traditions into a spectical for the worshipers to be entrained with their “presentation” ?
noun. a public display or performance, esp a showy or ceremonial one. a thing or person seen, esp an unusual or ridiculous one he makes a spectacle of himself. a strange or interesting object or phenomenon. (modifier) of or relating to spectaclesa spectacle case.
Why am I thinking of a carnival and tricksters with a wagon and selling smelling salts and elixirs?
Am I losing my mind to think the priest, minister or elder could be focused on himself in order to solicite funds for God?
What was on the tablets? Were they words that played to the senses of the people, like a game or song?
I’m going to leave tablets…with a recognition they have led the people, to give these “gifts” to God.
A minister came to town and gave a meeting about spiritualism, at the end he invited the crowd to bring their “images, crystal balls, and T-shirts advertising beer, or magazines that Christians should not be using, to bond fire or “burning pile” that did appear at the end of the meeting.
Have we “stuff” around the house that distracts us from using our heads and hearts to soften them towards the works of being righteous?
How could the first SYMBOL be a tablet with WORDS that must have been something they needed to GIVE UP, GIVE GOD, and bring their minds AWAY FROM SIN?
Num_31:50 We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.
NEW WORD: ATONEMENT
Atonement in Judaism is the process of causing a transgression to be forgiven or pardoned.
INTERUPTION: “Connie! Connie?” a voice is heard from the bedroom.
Connie: “I’m here. What’s the matter?”
Terry: “I thought I lost you.”
Connie: “No, I’m right here.”
Terry: “Is it time to get up?”
Connie: “No, its only 6:25 am
Terry: “Can I go back to sleep?”
Connie: “Yes Terry, go back to sleep.”
BACK TO WORK: DAY OF ATONEMENT: YOM KIPPUR THE ONCE A YEAR SACRIFICE OF THE GOAT!
HIGH PRIEST MAKING AN OBLATION OR GIFT TO GOD, ONCE A YEAR, FOR THE SACRIFICE OF SINS.
What happened to the daily sacrifice? Am I to daily place my sins before God and give up my earthly treasures to support the work of the ministers?
What can i “do” for Jesus? Do I become a num like my friend and then she said, “I became a Nun and now I am none.” She sacrificed herself to Bible Study, taking the two hour trip to Fresno, to discuss the truths of the Bible, even borrowing my book SKETCHES FROM THE LIFE OF PAUL by Ellen White.
What did Mary Ann learn from this book, that has a marker sticking up in my library, dated 3-4-2019 with corner turned down, the last two paragraphs. And I quote:
Paul was led and taught by the Holy Spirit; but not withstanding this, those who were not thus taught were filled with jealousy and malice when they saw him advocating truth a which they had not sanctioned, they were determined that he should move no faster than they. Had they move like the noble Bereans, searched the Scriptures with a humble teachable spirit, they would have learned the truth as Paul preached it; but they studied only to find something to sustain themselves and condemn him.
The truth always involves a cross. Those who will not believe, oppose and deride those who do believe. The fact that the presentation (the oblation or gift to GOD) creates a storm of opposition,is no evidence against the truth. The apostles and prophets imperiled [put at risk of being harmed, injured, or destroyed. “It’s fast-growing debt imperils a nation’s future.”)
What? The word imperiled means and can be applied to nations, putting us at RISK of being harmed, injured or destroyed, because of our nations growing debt. Google Search.
Continuing in Sketches from the Life of Paul by Ellen White p. 179
And our Saviour declared that “all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution” This is the Christian’s’ legacy.”
I am as dumbfounded as i have ever been in my life, to find the word tablest, that leads to the symbol of our of gift, our sacrfice to God, of our worldly pride, to set aside our selves, to tell the truth about GOD, no matter what they say, TRUTH WILL OUT, we have a loving saving GOD whose righteousness becomes our righteousness when we put on his nature, and study his word, we become changed and feel the need to tell the truth about HIS LOVE and wish to FORGIVE US ALL, from our sins against Him.
7 AM and I need to get up and do the 7th inning streach, that reminds me of my dad, to STAND UP and SHOW YOU ARE GIVING RESPECT AND DIGNITY TO THE HOME TEAM. I am going to STAND UP and streach and give the dignity and and respect to THE SON OF MAN, who is THE SON OF GOD, and is part of the team who built this world, from a drop of water in Gensis 1:1
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
DARK WATERS hit my mind, as i think about the darkness in what we read on our “tablets.” And what the gossip is, we repeat, and check the weather and how many more are sick, with grief, anger and wishing to control the thoughts and actions of “others.”
My desire was to learn things both OLD and NEW, and I stumbled into the meaning of TABLETS, not knowing where it would go by asking…myself…who, what, when, where and NOW, we are in debt, we are heading for the biggest division in history, for every nation is struggling when the little man, cannot provide quick and easy food, for those running around with enough money to buy it quick over the counter.
I do not want to digress from what KIND OF GIFTS TO WE GIVE OUR KING? Is it true that TRUTH maybe more of hindrance in teaching, because it brings out the worst in us, to be reprimanded for finding ourselves in need of repentance in knowing it all, which only means, we are not perfect and we are NOT GOD.
But suddenly that puts a smile on my face. It is good feeling to know that I AM NOT GOD. And the great I AM GOD, has proven to me, that He is most kind and benevolent mankin and to ME.
So, it really doesn’t matter what kind of “gifts” you bring to your god, it just matters to me, what kind of truth I bring to myself…when I tell myself THE TRUTH, do I rebel, because our WORLD is brought to SILENCE to figure out WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
STAY TUNED FOR LAST DAY EVENTS…or to continue learning more symbols of HIS GREAT LOVE FOR ALL MANKIND and even the nations are angry, and can an entire NATION, become the revelation of GOD, that HE MAY HAVE THE ANSWERS we desire, and that is to be FORGIVEN, and remembering that HE MADE ME THAT WAY…and it is HIS FAULT, that I have this child like manner of just wanting to sing, “I will make you FISHERS of men, FISHERS of men, FISHERS OF KIDS, I will make you FISHERS OF MoMS, FISHERS OF DADS, I will make you FISHERS OF FISH sit down in the boat, or you’ll ROCK THE BOAT.
2.BACK TO WORK, the cat has her paw reaching out fora pet on my hand…little distraction she knows when I get done, I’ll see to her needs.
NUMBER 2 on our LIST OF WORDS THAT ARE SYMBOLS in JEREMIAH 17.
I just have to say both words together for the number 2 and 3 symbol.
HEARTS AND HORNS
While fishing for pictures of symbols of horns, I found a very unusual picture of HIllary Clinton with a pair of large cow horns. But if you can get this image into your mind-it is a very POWERFUL SYMBOL OF POWER When a herd of buffaloes circle their only baby calf…
TERRY from the other room, “I don’t know. Leaving me here all by myself, I don’t know. Everybody left, I don’t know where they went.”
Connie”You’re not alone I am here and the cat is on my desk, trying to help me.”
Terry “That’s good, she’s trying to help you.
CAT: Moving to the bedroom to check on Terry.
Well tomorrow we will check into the HEARTS AND HORNS…its already 7:24 AM and across the page is the title: Keeping the Sabbath Holy and
CAT: watned out
But there is a question in my mind, when the word HOLY, SACRED, set aside from the world, may become the problem, when the STATE OF OUR MINDS, wishes to BLAME someone else, for what we see is to me, a problem of overpopulation. But China and Singapore, have used this overpopulation thing to only permit two children per family. But the need for housing is ENDED…there would be no need to build residence if the parents die the children have the same house to live in.
And no building, means something about no work. And now we live by our TABLETS….who would think we could full circle and back to giving them to GOD as an oblation or GIFT, to pay for our sins, of not having time to LISTEN TO HIM.
When the Holy Spirit left the first TEMPLE, the Holy Spirit cried, no one was coming to GOD for information how to take care of the themselves and others, mental, physical, social and spiritual. WHO cares? GOD CARES.
I have a little time to climb back in bed and its still a rainy day in NEBRASKA, but putting on the slippers means my feet aren’t cold. humm
