4 | and God made the beast | Deut 14:11 | He-man | 138976 | ||
Yes, I also read the words "after his kind" "Good" so are you trying to say the snake was after His kind like Moses or Dan and it was good for Adam to be drawn into sin? Genesis 1:25 25 And God made the beast of the earth AFTER HIS KIND, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was GOOD. Genesis 6:7 7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. Leviticus 11:21 21 Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth; Genesis 49:17 17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward. The Cerastes, or the Naia haje, or any other venomous species frequenting Arabia, may denote the “serpent of the burning bite” which destroyed the children of Israel. The snake that fastened on St. Paul’s hand when he was at Melita, Acts 28:3, was probably the common viper of England, Pelias berus. [See also Adder; Asp.] when God punished the murmurs of the Israelites in the wilderness by sending among them serpents whose fiery bite was fatal, Moses, upon their repentance, was commanded to make a serpent of brass, whose polished surface shone like fire, and to set it up on the banner-pole in the midst of the people; and whoever was bitten by a serpent had but to look up at it and live. Num. 21:4–9. The comparison used by Christ John 3:14, 15, adds a deep interest to this scene. To present the serpent form, as deprived of its power to hurt, impaled as the trophy of a conqueror, was to assert that evil, physical and spiritual, had been overcome, and thus help to strengthen the weak faith of the Israelites in a victory over both. Others look upon the uplifted serpent as a symbol of life and health, it having been so worshipped in Egypt. The two views have a point of contact, for the primary idea connected with the serpent is wisdom. Wisdom, apart from obedience to God, degenerates to cunning, and degrades and envenoms man’s nature. Wisdom, yielding to the divine law, is the source of healing and restoring influences, and the serpent form thus became a symbol of deliverance and health; and the Israelites were taught that it would be so with them in proportion as they ceased to be sensual and rebellious.Preserved as a relic, whether on the spot of its first erection or elsewhere, the brazen serpent, called by the name of Nehushtan, became an object of idolatrous veneration, and the zeal of Hezekiah destroyed it with the other idols of his father. 2 Kings 18:4.

7 | There was a guy named Moses | Prov 14:18 | He-man | 139396 | ||
There was a guy named Moses who said a few things about some guy named the messiah, anointed one, savior or whatever came to be written like in the book of Deuteronomy 18:18 18 Apparently saying he would put some yeast in a pot to get a rise out of an Inspired man right there in the middle of someone's brother, and that he would put words in his mouth; whatever he was told to say. See Acts 3:22 Then this guy Zech comes along in 9:8,9 And agrees with Moses , when he will come to see us and even what he looks like(v. 9) and of the place he will make home...see Matt 21:5 So I guess Moses was afraid and went and hid when he heard the other Guy say he was his fathers Father and Isaac's and Jacob's. Ex 3:6 See Matt 22:32 "God of the Living" So old Zech 11:12,13 said to them, If you think I'm good, give me my money; and if not, forget it. So they gave him his price 30 pieces of silver. 13 And he took it and threw in where he was told, so it could be made into something in his bosses house See MATT 27:35 Well, with all this going on David had to get in the act, so he said in Psalm 2:7 I'm going to tell you what is what: the Boss told me, I was his Son; and that I was born Today. See ACTS 13:33 Acts 13:22,23 So Ike (Isaiah 11:10) Said well that's nothing in that day there shall be a sheresh of David's father, which shall stand for signal of the people; and all these strange people will try to get it: See ROM 15:12 And then David shortly said Psalm 8:6 That You made him in charge of everything that was made by You; and then You put them for him to step on with his feet: see Heb 2:8 David was upset and called his dogs in Psalm 22:16,18 he was getting surrounded by mean people: then they pierced my hands and my feet. 18 Then they took off his pants and things and divided them up and took a number to see who got to pick what first. So it wasn't any wonder that he broke down and said: Psalm 22:1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? See Matt 27:46 So, he swore at him and made him the President Psalm 110:4 for ever after the order of Melchizedek. See Heb 5:6,10 And then they refused to build a stone house. Psalm 118:22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. See Mark 12 :10 That made everybody mad so they called all the Presidents of the world, Psalm 2:2,3 to counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. But they said what we want is the President of Salem not some goofball idiot. Genesis 14:19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth (King of Salem) see Heb 7:1,2 |

9 | a time for every purpose under heaven | Eccl 3:8 | He-man | 139617 | ||
Did Jesus say military service was wrong?: John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. When is it right to fight? John says: John 1:17 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. In order to preserve freedom? Acts 5:39 39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God. To protect innocent people? Our beloved Romans states: Romans 12:19,20 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. |

10 | We shouldn't be in the military? | Eccl 3:8 | He-man | 139635 | ||
In other words we should respond to war like Jesus says? Or should we seek peace? 2 Corinthians 10:3,4 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; Because he said Matthew 10:34 34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. Romans 12:17-21 17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. James 4:1-4 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Ephesians 6:14-18 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. |

see TYRE and ZIDON. Phœnicia is now a land of ruins. It is in reference to this siege that the prophecy against Tyre in Isaiah, ch. 23, Ezek. 28:2–12 was uttered. See References below: Astarte was actually a warrior goddess of Canaan and Syria who is a Western Semitic counterpart of the Akkadian Ishtar worshipped in Mesopotamia. In the Egyptian pantheon to which she was officially admitted during the 18th Dynasty, her prime association is with horses and chariots. On the stela set up near the sphinx by Amenhotep II celebrating his prowess, Astarte is described as delighting in the impressive equestrian skill of the monarch when he was still only crown prince. In her iconography her aggression can be seen in the bull horns she sometimes wears as a symbol of domination. Similarly, in her Levantine homelands, Astarte is a battlefield goddess. For example, when the Peleset (Philistines) killed Saul and his three sons on Mount Gilboa, they deposited the enemy armor as spoils in the temple of "Ashtoreth" Like Anat, she is the daughter of Re and the wife of the god Seth, but also has a relationship with the god of the sea. From the woefully fragmentary papyrus giving the legend of Astarte and the sea we learn that Yamm, the sea god, demanded tribute from the gods, particularly Renenutet. Her place is then taken by Astarte called, in this aspect, "daughter of Ptah". The story is lost from that point on but one assumes this liaison resulted in the goddess tempering the arrogance of Yamm. It should also be noted that outside of Egypt, as well as being a warlike goddess, Astarte seems to have had sexual and motherhood attributes. http://www.touregypt.net/godsofegypt/astarte.htm The religion of the Phœnicians, opposed to Monotheism, was of the forces of nature, and in its most philosophical shadowing forth of the supreme powers it may be said to have represented the male and female principles of production. In its popular form it was especially a worship of the sun, moon, and five planets, or, as it might have been expressed according to ancient notions, of the seven planets—the most beautiful and perhaps the most natural form of idolatry ever presented to the human imagination. Their worship was a constant temptation for the Hebrews to Polytheism and idolatry— Because undoubtedly the Phœnicians, as a great commercial people, were more generally intelligent, and as we should now say civilized, than the inland agricultural population of Palestine. When the simple-minded Jews, therefore, came in contact with a people more versatile and apparently more enlightened than temselves, but who nevertheless, either in a philosophical or in a popular form, admitted a system of Polytheism, an influence would be exerted on Jewish minds tending to make them regard their exclusive devotion to their own one God, Jehovah, however transcendant his attributes, as unsocial and morose. The Phœnician religion had in other respects an injurious effect on the people of Palestine, being in some points essentially demoralizing. For example, it sanctioned the dreadful superstition of burning children as sacrifices to a Phœnician god. Again, parts of the Phœnician religion, especially the worship of Astarte, tended to encourage dissoluteness in the relations of the sexes, and even to sanctify impurities of the most abominable description.

And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD. Why?

19 | where it all began in Genesis? | Joel 2:3 | He-man | 139704 | ||
In The Beginning God created the Garden of Eden; is it not comprehensible that In The End He will again create the Garden of Eden, where it all began in Genesis? Genesis 11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. Where was the first alphabet scripted? Do you think the fulfillment of prophesies are in Iraq? Genesis 11:4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. That His promise to Abraham, to inherit the land is now in the process of the final stages? That the war in the land of Iraq just happens to be a coincidence and not related to Isaiah 14:4? That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! That Jesus shall choose Jerusalem again after these things happen? That Abraham was not allowed into the Promised land because the time was not up? That to indicate that the time was not yet, Abraham had to buy his grave site? What does Babel mean? (confusion), Babel Babylon (Greek form of Babel), is properly the capital city of the country which is called in Genesis Shinar, and in the later books Chaldea, or the land of the Chaldeans. The first rise of the Chaldean power was in the region close upon the Persian Gulf; thence the nation spread northward up the course of the rivers, and the seat of government moved in the same direction, being finally fixed at Babylon, perhaps not earlier than b.c. 1700.
