[Bob434]

There is however th3 following vision

Zechariah 5:9 ESV
Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, two women coming forward! The wind was in their wings. They had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven.

Some take it to mean they were actually “female” angels, (even thouhg the word angel isnt menationed) while others think that it was merely symbolic vision

[spankalib]

God of math:

The multiplicative properties of positive and negative:
+ x + = +
+ x - = -
- x - = +!

Positive (the angels) "win" 2/3rds of the time!

[Big Red Badger]

Good Morning Dan,
This is what it’s all about!
Our Battle here on earth
Is a field for the
Great Battle in the Spiritual world.

[Hebrews 11:6]

This week I rewatched "Stand and Deliver", and the very first thing Jaime Escalante taught his class was, "A negative times a negative equals a positive." So, as I understand it, John, you are claiming that Señor Escalante is the God of Math?

[Hebrews 11:6]

It's so nice to know that God has our backs!

[AnAmericanMother]

My daughter remarked that the servant pouring the water into the ceremonial vessels has an expression like, "I just know that I am somehow going to be made to take the blame for this!"

How awestruck and amazed he must have been when the chief steward took a taste and said that the host had saved the best wine for last!

[Bob434]

according to researchers, when weddings and celebrations were put on by folks in the old testament, apparently what they would do was serve the better wine first, so folks would enjoy the taste more- then as the guests became a bit more inebriated, they would trot out the cheaper wine to save money- When Jesus turned the water into wine, it was later when cheaper wine woudl have sufficed, but He made the wine the best-

[InkStone]

Good Morning Dan, and greatly enjoy the comments from everyone.

Much great art here, of a topic which is highly prophetic.

May our God draw each of us to greater obedience.

Thank You Dan!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Jesus’ miracles: it’s what He does! We had better be “awestruck and amazed”.

[Hebrews 11:6]

More war is coming, Leon. Put on your armor!

[spankalib]

Yes! Ironic, isn't it? - or, maybe not -

...how such an excellent, inspiring teacher was so opposed by the establishment...

Humans crucify that which they don't understand...because that ignorance breeds fear...fear of losing 'place' or 'position'. I was blessed in my upbringing, and my ignorance was taught to breed curiosity, instead.

[Hebrews 11:6]

My boss was taken aback by my curiosity.

[spankalib]

My boss was taken aback by my curiosity.

Many people are, who are raised to fear instead of curiosity. Sad, that.

In some cases, your curiosity has spawned jealousy...even hatred, I bet.

In that one little thing even though it is difficult, and takes time and maturity to understand, in that one little thing, it can be said that you shared Christ's suffering. (so rejoice!)

[Big Red Badger]

and we should have His.
.
Know the Goodness And Severity of God.

[AnAmericanMother]

So it says in the text! “It is ever the good wine that men set out first, and the worse kind only when all have drunk deep; thou hast kept the good wine till now.”

[Bob434]

ha- i must have had a mental block because i didnt know that was in there (Even though I’ve read through the bible a couple times- it just never registered in my mind i guess)- i had read articles of researchers who spoke about the celebration traditions speak about the process- Thanks for pointing that out-

[InkStone]

“More war is coming, Leon. Put on your armor!”
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Good advice Dan- trying on my old Armor Belt now...

What’s this: it shrunk!

[AnAmericanMother]

Great minds think alike! That is pretty neat that you came to the same conclusion on your own!

[Hebrews 11:6]

It’s not the size of the man in the armor that counts, but rather the size of the Man Who provides the armor!
