John Gill writes, "the use of which was not only to tie up the chin and jaws, but to hide the grim and ghastly looks of a dead corpse; and one of the same price and value was used by rich and poor: for it is said Maimon. Hilchot Ebel, c. 4. sect. 1." We cannot say if there is other spiritual significance, nor, by any athority, are we to create such significance when it is not already offered. Who was it that said, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." On the other hand, others might know more about this custom than do I. |

3 | Does folded napkin means Jesus return? | John 11:44 | rludd | 130160 | ||
I was once told that if you are invited into a Jewish home for a meal and upon completion of the meal; if you enjoyed the meal you would fold your napkin and lay it to the side. The folded napkin states you enjoyed the meal and you are inviting yourself back. Therefore in John 20:7 the fold napkin means that Jesus will be back. | ||||||

Interesting. However, a napkin is just a piece of cloth. The connection between what you wipe your mouth with and what is used to cover a corpses face is tenuous at best. Luke 19:20 uses the same word, but here it is used as a money bag. The Greek is "soudarion" which could be translated "handkerchief." On the other hand, your suggestion is a nice sentiment. :-) I guess I'll just avoid being dogmatic on either side of the question. :-) | ||||||
