So there’s a #genocide happening in real time. Live streaming. I can’t do anything because I’m bedridden. Not sure I could do much if I wasn’t. This is beyond words.
I’m not much of a religious person but I do remember a part of the #Bible where it says basically all hell will break loose when the Jews return to Israel and that’s the beginning of the end.
@breadsmasher I love how #atheists love 2 attack my #faith & the faith of others. #PrayerCloths aren't the ONLY answer 2 #healing, but they DO help those with faith. The #Bible itself doesn't say 2 rely on them alone; it talks about Paul (a man of faith) & Luke (a doctor with faith) working together 2 heal the sick. #God tailors each person's healing 2 their level of faith. If you choose 2 only trust doctors, that's your choice. But I pity you for the disadvantage that puts you in. #GodBless
This is the common phrase we Israelis use when speaking of our sons and daughters returning from captivity or expressing the wish for that to happen.
This is a very respectful and common phrase you can use when communicating with Israelis or Hebrew speakers on the subject.
Now, these days we are witnessing the return of kidnapped Israelis to be buried rather than live their lives.
Each news of another body being returned for burial is heartbreaking. However, in Jewish and Israeli culture, there is great significance to having a burial and a body returned to its homeland.
As horrific as all of this is, there may be some consolation to the families who are able to have a place of burial in Israel for their loved ones.

He always regretted his cross-dressing role in a 1566 play for the Queen.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

20 May 1629: William Bedell, future translator of #Bible to #Irish#Gaeilge and Provost of Trinity College #Dublin is appointed Bishop of Kilmore & Ardagh by Letters Patent #otd (eebo)
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD;
and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

5 May 1645: The Stationers' Company grant Robert Barker, printer a pension of 10s per month in exchange for his patent to print the Authorised Version of the #Bible. Barker was skint after his £300 fine for the 'Wicked Bible' in 1631 - which omitted 'not' from the 7th commandment
This Bible verse really helped me today:
Psalms 37:4-5 ESV
Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. #Bible#Trust
The #Anglican tradition has a daily reading lectionary where you read 4 or so chapters each day and go through the NT 2-3 times in a year, and the OT once (depends on which lectionary you use.)
I've been doing this awhile, and had the habit down, but health made me focus on essentials for a time and I got behind for about a month.
In my catch-up phase, I decided to just treat the epistles as single-sitting readings.
And you know, I'll probably do this more often. There's value in chapter breaks, but honestly: if it's a two-page letter, it shouldn't take five days to read it (I'm looking at you 1 Peter.)
Anyway. Just stating the obvious: the #Bible is full of short stories and letters and small, concrete narratives. You should read them that way. That's how they were meant to be read!
