Subject: Does Hebrew tradition explain folded? |
Bible Note: Can you confirm this with authority? Do you know this to be true from tradition, historical record, manners and customs, personal exposure to Hebrew practices? I do not want to teach this as fact from a simple email I have received. It is a wonderful thought and the verse has glorious meaning for me, and I believe you, but I believe we must back things up for an unbelieving world so that they too can believe with a certain foundation. A fascinating fact as well would be that the rest of the garments were tossed aside. Our Savior was THROUGH with DEATH and Hell. He no longer had to deal with them and neither do we! He had paid the price. As far as we are concerned, He folded that napkin... He shall return... so we must lift up our heads... now more than ever 3/3/09..OUR REDEMPTION DRAWS NEAR! Be sure that you are saved… Be ready at any minute… Be diligent about growing in the faith… Be about the Father’s business of sharing the Truth to all you see… Blessings Angela |
