Reflections of an elder eye:

Reflections of an elder eye:
On day after the fourth anniversary of the event that changed my life, I yearn to document the frustrations of life. Though I don't think my experience is unique to me, I do think my reactions to it is. I fully expect to recover from it, and benefit from it, but I don't understand why it's taking so long.

Four years seems like a lifetime when you're living on the edge of recovery. And the time is so short. And I have so much to do, and have not the mental capacity and physical prowess to do it. I'm sure God will give the resources I need when the time is right, but I think I need them now.

I have tried just about every thing I can think to increase my mental and physical capabilities, and I've made some small inroads, but the gap between my capabilities and the need is large and widening with each dawning of the sun.

But I have resolved to use the capabities I have, while I wait on the Lord. Maybe, though I hate the thought of it, this is all I have, and this is all there is.
Maybe I am asking too much. Maybe I have not made good use of what I have, and I can't have any more. If that's a fact, then more's the pity, because I thought I could do more, and there are people that will not benefiting from my wisdom, such as it is. And I an not claiming to have any wisdom in my own right. True wisdom comes from God.

There is a difference between knowledge and wisdom, and, in this day and time, we need them both: knowledge of what makes the world go round, and wisdom to discern the good things from the bad.

Soooo....... Let's begin again.

Lost Ark of Covenant?



Has 'Temple' author discovered location of lost Ark of Covenant?

There has been much speculation on the location of the ark sense it was lost some 5,000 years ago. World Net Daily has an interesting piece about it, and a new book by David Flynn

In "Temple at the Center of Time: Newton's Bible Codex Deciphered and the Year 2012," by David Flynn, a book that has skyrocketed up the best-seller charts before its official release later this month, says his studies of the Temple Mount strongly suggest the Ark will be found at Mount Nebo in Jordan.

The discovery would be the greatest archeological find ever – as has been suggested in popular movies such as "Raiders of the Lost Ark.

In "Temple at the Center of Time," Flynn makes the case that the Temple Mount, the home of the Jewish temples, was not just a place of religious worship. It is also is a roadmap to future events – a kind of prophetic landmark whose significance is only now revealed through the development of satellite imagery.

The book asserts it has "deciphered Isaac Newton’s greatest paradox: None other than 'the unified field theory' of Bible prophecy. Jerusalem

According to the Bible, the greatest prophet of all time was Moses, which states, "And there arose not a prophet (neba) since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face." Ironically, according to the Bible, Mount Nebo was the site of the death of Moses.

The Hebrew words nobe, meaning "high place," and nahab, meaning "to hollow out," "gate," or "pupil of the eye," also correlate with the location for the resting place of the ark in a "hollow cave" on Mount Nebo, described in 2 Maccabees, says Flynn.

Mount Nebo is 25.20 nautical miles due East of Jerusalem – and Flynn finds significance in that distance related to his study of the Temple Mount and its mystical placement "at the center of time and space."

I think Jerusalem is the center of the earth, and it has a special place in God's heart, and in God's eye. Mount Nebo is 25.20 nautical miles due East Jerusalem, and the time is right for the ark to discovered, if it is indeed there. I don't place mach stock in Bible codes and numerology, but I do certain numbers and patterns are significance. The Jewish year has 360 days in it, and every seventh year is special; a year of Jubilee.

And as one of the poster, at Prophecy Fellowship, ConservPride, pointed out:

The article doesn't indicate what the significance in that number is, but... 360 * 7 = 2520

And the Bible says when Jesus comes back, he will enter Jerualem through the East Gate.
I wonder....

China confiscates Bibles

China confiscates Bibles from American Christians
Aug 17, 2008 17:16

Chinese customs officials confiscated more than 300 Bibles on Sunday from four American Christians who arrived in a southwestern city with plans to distribute them, the group's leader said.

The Bibles were taken from the group's checked luggage after they landed at the airport in the city of Kunming, said Pat Klein, head of Vision Beyond Borders. The group, based in Sheridan, Wyoming, distributes Bibles and Christian teaching materials around the world to "strengthen the persecuted church," according to its Web site.

The group arrived in China on Sunday and had intended to distribute the Bibles to people in the city, Klein told the AP in a telephone interview while still at the airport.

"I heard that there's freedom of religion in China, so why is there a problem for us to bring Bibles?" Klein ..

And a poster, Caver, pretty much echoed my thoughts

"Whoa, didn't we just hear a few weeks ago about China being ready to distribute Bibles to the Olympics guest who wanted one. Now, ....., well this is a new twist on the public face.

Ya gotta wonder, do they realize just how paranoid and confused they seem to the rest of the world?"

I wonder...
