Where’s the water? 1/22/2019

    I was speaking to a young married couple after church.  We spoke of many things in the Bible, and one of those things was where the temple in Israel would be built.  They had dedicated the altar on the last day of Hanukkah this year at the wailing wall.  I mentioned to them that for sacrificing at the next temple they would need running water near by.  .  Where is the water on the Dome of the Rock?  In Leviticus 8:1-6, The first temple was built, and now the consecrations must begin.  The first was Aaron and his two sons, at the door of the tabernacle.  Moses tells the congregation ,"this is the thing which the LORD commanded to be done.  And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water,"  Lev. 8:5-6.  They also consecrated the offerings of the bullock, then the ram by sacrificing them.  There blood was sprinkled upon the altar then around and about the it.  Moses then washed the inward parts and legs in water.  Lev.8:14-21.  Again where did the water come from?  Was there a stream of running water near by?   
In Exodus 30:20-21, the congregation, still in the desert, had to wash their hands and feet before going into the tabernacle to minister and to burn offerings by fire unto the LORD, or they would die. God had told Moses to hit  the rock when the Jews were thirsty and complained the first time in Rephidim, Exodus 17:1-7,  Moses hit the rock.  Water gushed out of the rock. 
 God did say where the first temple would be built.  In Second Chronicles 3:1, "Then solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in Mount Moriah, where the LORD appeared unto David, his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshing floor of Oran (Araunah), the Jebusite.  This area was never a Roman fort that I'm aware of.  David buys the area for 600 shekels of gold, and 50 shekels of silver for the oxen.  In II Samuel 24:16-25.  Now the temple in Jerusalem has to be near the king's house, and the king's forest.  Nehemiah 2:7-8.  Was there ever a forest or David's house with a stream on top of the Dome of the Rock?  Then there is the staves of the ark of the covenant, in the oracle of the temple unto this day.   II Chronicles 5:9, says there in the inner sanctuary unto this day.  And unto this day means unto the day when somebody finds them.  I don't think they are under the Dome of the Rock, but somebody needs to go and check out that area.  Preferably four Levitical priest from the line of Aaron, because the ark may be near them.

Mothers Day 5/6/2011

    Luke 23:28-29: "But Jesus,  turning unto them said, "Daughters of Jerusalem weep not for Me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.  For, behold, the days are coming in which they shall say, "Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breast which never nursed".       Luke 21;16: (in the latter days), "And ye shall be betrayed both parents and brethren, and kinfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to put to death".       Mark 13:12: says, "Now brother shall betray brother to death, and the father, his son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause to be put to death".   In the Book of Romans Chapter 1:1-32 children shall be disobedient to parents, mothers they will lose their natural bonding with their children. And "women did change the natural use for that which is against nature"(turned to homosexuality), Roman...

Christmas- The Birth of the sun god

"Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathens(nations), and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathens (nations) are dismayed at them.  For the customs of the peoples are vain; for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.  They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.  They are upright like the palm tree, but speak not; they must needs be borne, because they cannot go."  Jeremiah 10: 2-5.          I have been writing in my Just Thinking journal's about Christmas since 1999. So here is a compiled summary of some of what I have researched over the years. The Catholic Church used to call Christmas, Christ-mass (Remember a Mass is for a funeral). Isn't Matthew 26:26-28, "Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of Me? But they use the verses in Acts 2:42-46 , the apostles doc...

Covid-19 4/11/2020

                                                                      I just finished reading Terminal, by Robin Cook, written in 1993.  It's about doctors making up a cancer tumor by using different viruses given to rich business men and women, or a family member.  The main character explains how they give the person the virus which will give that person  the flu or meningitis.  Once they're in the hospital the doctor will inject in the IV the cancer tumor that they made in the lab.  The main point of the story is that this character explains when you can make a virus you also have the antidote.     Now let us talk about Corona Virus called COVID-19.  Is it a man-made virus?  I won't say yes, but I won't say no either.  Just remember this, if  yo...
