Deferral of the inevitable is Denial. Not one more Israeli life lost, and not one more grain of the Promised Land surrendered for the pearls before swine. Spray the kitchen.

Shalom, AIL - the Time is near.

why so hostile to anti-hillary? i get what he is saying and don’t consider him self righteous.

that quote “we can’t know the hour” is when christ is referring to one specific event-—the time of his second coming. yet, prophecies are actually meant to be a warning to the generation in which they will be fulfilled so believers will watch and recognize the signs and be prepared and warn others. so it is important to study them and learn what is coming.

we are seeing lots of signs of the end times and several prophecies that are not yet fulfilled. maybe that is why there is so much excitement on the board over every little possible sign. we may actually be that generation that gets to see the whole bible fulfilled just as Christ said.

this story reminds me of a bible story when God gave the Israelites someone else’s land, where they got to harvest fruits they had never planted and live in houses they didn’t build and drink wine they didn’t store. Sounds like the Palestinians at the moment.

I talked to a friend that is in the Israeli intelligence services and asked him what they thought of the Arabs not planting crops. He said that there were two things;

First it is getting harder to get crops through the checkpoints, so most planting by the Arabs is being done on the Israeli side of the fence. I know Hamas has been putting a lot of pressure on the checkpoints in Gaza trying to keep them closed. There have been a lot of attacks on them by Hamas.

Secondly he said that Hamas was going to the farmers who’s fields are full and demanding that they pay money to the cause of the Jihad. The only source of money in Gaza right now is from Iran, so Hamas is trying to raise more money for the Jihad by hijacking their own industry. The farmers figure the safest thing for the family is only raise enough food for the family, it will not attract attention that way.

So there is a bit of feedback from inside on the Israeli side of the issue. A little local freeper research.

The Israelites always reckoned the lineage (blood) through the mother as that was the one parent they could be sure of.

This statement of yours is incorrect. The Israelite lineage was always reckoned through the fathers not the mothers until the 70 AD when all records were lost. All genealogies listed fathers --- not mothers. Moses who had an Egyptian wife in Numbers 1:18 records:

"And they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls."

Furthermore, the command to the daughters of Zelophehad was that they had to marry within a family of the tribe of their father --- not their mother, or even one of their own choosing [Nu 36:6-8].

And the law of inheritance [Nu 27:1-11] even specified that the inheritance, if there were no sons or daughters, was to pass to the brethren, the father's brethren, or the nearest kinsman. Always the father or the father's lineage --- not the mothers'.

This statement of yours is incorrect. The Israelite lineage was always reckoned through the fathers not the mothers until the 70 AD when all records were lost.

You are correct...it was a poor choice of words on my part. What I should have said was this: [Genesis 3:15] tells us that the Messiah will be reckoned through the seed of the woman. Therefore, it is apt that the genealogy in Luke show the line down through Mary.....and the fact she was clearly a descendant of David.

Although....today, it is difficult to say you are Jewish unless you can prove your mother was....Jewish.

There are some instances where the genealogies go through the women but most always go through the males. In [I Chronicles 2:22] Jair is of the tribe of Judah but in [Numbers 32:41] he is of the tribe of Manasseh. For some reason his descent here may have been reckoned through his mother. [1 Chronicles 2:34] tells us that Sheshan had no sons....only daughters but his genealogy continues on down through his grandson Attai. His mother's name is not mentioned but she was definitely included as Sheshan's daughter.

Huram-Abi, in [2 Chronicles 2:14] was listed as having a mother from Dan....so the genealogies of the Israelites could sometimes be listed through the ladies.

As I said in my post the most important aspect of the two genealogies (Matthew & Luke) was to show that Our Messiah was indeed born of a virgin and inherited his rights through his stepfather.
