Do not eat meat that has not been drained of
its blood. Do not practice fortune-telling or witchcraft. ... Keep my Sabbath
days of rest, and show reverence toward my sanctuary. I am the LORD. Do not
defile yourselves by turning to mediums or to those who consult the spirits of
the dead. I am the LORD your God. Stand up in the presence of the elderly, and
show respect for the aged. Fear your God. I am the LORD. Do not take advantage
of foreigners who live among you in your land. Treat them like native-born
Israelites, and love them as you love yourself. Remember that you were once
foreigners living in the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God. Leviticus 19:26, 30-34
Did God sacrifice a lamb...
for coverings for Adam and Eve?
Sheep grazing in Israel.
Meditate.
Are you planning to rest on your Sabbath?
No
witchcraft. No blood. Blood is life. Blood is death. I recently watched a
YouTube presentation on the covering that God provided for Adam and Eve after
their disobedient faux pas in the Garden of Eden. This new to me view was that
the “covering” that God provided was actually “skin” and it was not animal
skin, but their covering. Previously, they were energy beings (interesting
thought) and the “skin” would hold in the energy. What a bizarre idea. The
Biblical account of this says that God covered them with the skin, as noted in
the different translations below.
Unto Adam also and to his wife did
the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. Genesis 3:21 KJV
And the LORD God made clothing from
animal skins for Adam and his wife.
Genesis 3:21 NLT
The LORD God made garments of skin
for Adam and his wife and clothed them. Genesis 3:21 NIV
And the LORD God made for Adam and
for his wife garments of skins and clothed them. Genesis 3:21 ESV
The LORD God made tunics of
[animal] skins for Adam and his wife and clothed them. Genesis 3:21 AMP
God covered
their nakedness with skin, whether it is from animals or His unique creation is
a detail that we don’t need to know right now. He might choose to tell us…someday.
In the meantime, there are more of God’s directives that need to be studied and
obeyed, like honoring the Sabbath, esteeming the elderly and the foreigners,
and respecting God. There is work to be done….
Prayer
– Lord, I want to be obedient to Your word and Your will, so reveal to me Your
plan and help me to understand the details of Your word…even like the skin You
put on Adam and Eve.
Verse
of Salvation ~ Now all glory to God, who is able to make you strong, just as my
Good News says. This message about Jesus Christ has revealed his plan for you
Gentiles, a plan kept secret from the beginning of time. But now as the
prophets foretold and as the eternal God has commanded, this message is made
known to all Gentiles everywhere, so that they too might believe and obey him.
All glory to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, forever. Amen. Romans 16:25-27 NLT
Friday’s
Feast at the King’s Table
This
is a freaky Friday! People are celebrating the hallowed eve of All Saints Day,
but do they realize just what they are acclaiming? Is Halloween for you based
on worldly fables or spiritual warfare? Do you take part in the Halloween
celebration and party with your friends? Do you allow evil fables and evil
forces to invade your home and your life…if even for just the day?
It
is definitely soup time! As the temperature drops, I just feel
the need for a nice bowl of soup… just about every day! This recipe, sent by a
friend, is a great do-ahead meal—perfect for a cold, cozy stay at home and read
day! Enjoy!
