Have you ever wondered what gofer (נפד) wood is in Genesis 6 v14? In that same verse God tells Noah to cover(כפד) the Ark in pitch (liquid cover so כפד again) this word cover is often translated atone. There is a lot more to it I'm sure but in its simplest form the Ark is poetically atoned for three times in one verse. So now I don't really care whether gofer wood is cypress or some other wood. I care what it represents. And it seems to represent God covering us in His grace. Evil is all around us and a flood or even a harvest of our labor is coming. Yet God has provided a way through. He will lift us up. Covered in the blood of Jesus. All we have to do is call on Him and worship Him. He is our King and our God. #Kingdom #help #grace
I'm really into names, etymology. After listening to the last @blurrycreatures episode I looked into Chad Hayes name, wondering if Hayes was a Hebrew word or not. It isn't, but this is his brothers name and his name:
Chad Hayes: Warrior of the hedge. Protector at the boundary.
Carey Hayes: Watcher of the fort. Descendant of dusk.
Hayes is the idea of a boundary keeper. Literally a hedge.
Chad is easy warrior.
Carey is more complicated, seems like some kind of son of darkness or a fort by a river.
But they are pretty cool given their movie genre, imo.
Working on this while listening to @blurrycreatures ep #327
Feeling very inspired. Beauty will save the world. We need to create beautiful spaces for healing and getting to know the one true God. It was a great episode. I highly recommend! Thanks @swordandpencil for killing it!
@MarkRober Your just joining the pogrom against Tesla. Not much to explain. Meanwhile @elonmusk is doing NASA's work and rescuing astronauts. Kinda ironic.
🚨#BREAKING: The NC Department of Health has confirmed a 96 year-old woman in Western North Carolina froze to de*th on January 6th due to:
"Complications from hypothermia following environmental exposure after a home washed away from flooding,"
PEOPLE NEED TO GO TO JAIL!!!!!!
@TaraBull808 I was always thought to respect authorities. If the cop would have been slower the kid could have resisted more and things would have escalated wors so the kid would have had more injuries. I think the cop did his job efficiently.
@WallStreetApes During covid the poorest people in Africa gave up there aids medicin so they could give their kids food. So which is it? People have to pay for their medicine or USAID was? Something is obviously off.
@elonmusk@DOGE I HAVE FRIENDS STILL WAITING ON MONEY FROM FEMA TO REBUILD THEIR HOMES IN WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA AND WE SENT $59,000,000 LAST WEEK TO WHO?!!!!!!!!!
WHAT IS HAPPENING?!!!!!
@MattWalshBlog That's so sad. My wife and I decided not to circumcise our boys for various reasons. Felt like a liberal move. Can't imagine cutting of our girls breasts. They will defend there move in public or private just like the Natzis did for the rest of their lives.
Remember when the last administration hired 80000 IRS agents to look into the American peoples income and spending? I was upset about that. Elon looking into government spending? I'm not upset about that.
