from what I understand, Photobucket has terminated third-party hosting, meaning they have let down nearly ALL of their faithful customers.
I call that an unwise business decision!
Amen and God bless.
Another great lesson! Agreeing in Prayer
Another good lesson that applies to us all, left that other site.
I found this verse interesting - It piled up in a heap a great distance away, at a town called Adam
I heard a sermon about these passages - as the Ark crossing was symbolic to death and resurrection of Jesus. And His redemption went back to Adam.
Joining in prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem.
Praying for all Israel to be saved.
2. Leadership Moses stretched out his staff, the waters parted, and the People passed through on dry land. Joshua, per instruction, had the Priests carry the Ark of the Covenant into the River, getting their feet wet, before the waters parted. The People, a half-mile back may or may not have seen the miracle until they arrived at the shore, but as Jesus said "Blessed is he who has not seen, but believes."(John 20:29)
Indeed, because look what jumps out:
Crossing the Jordan
3 Early in the morning Joshua and all the Israelites set out from Shittim and went to the Jordan, where they camped before crossing over. 2 After three days the officers went throughout the camp, 3 giving orders to the people: When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the Levitical priests carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it. 4 Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before. But keep a distance of about two thousand cubits[a] between you and the ark; do not go near it.
Shittim. The place name is the same as what the Ark was made out of:
Exodus 25:10 And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
(The Ark was 2.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 cubits. 5 5/8 cubic cubits, 45/8 cu.3 , 1/80,000 the volume of Noah's ark. Much to glean from the 45 and 8 relationship and equivalent fractions.)
So before crossing over, they camped right inside the Ark (Shittim), figuratively speaking. I suppose it's like the atmosphere or any type of 'bubble'. When people are inside of it, they don't see it.
2000 cubits:
Above Nature
We have noted that 50 represents the full journey toward acceptance of Torah in the 50 days bridging Pesach and Shavuos. The passage through life calls for the Jew to emulate the national passage to Sinai. He must proceed until the natural end and then go beyond it. He must transcend the finite and touch the sublime 50th gate that belongs over and above the natural rules of This World.23 50: at a distance
The number 50 is used as the measure that places something at a distance. The Talmud notes the use of a rope measuring 50 cubits for matters such as measuring the 2,000-cubit distance of techum Shabbos, the distance beyond the city one may travel on Shabbos.24 Because of the negative impact of a granary, leather tannery, and cemetery, these were not halachically permitted to be located within 50 cubits of the city.25 Of course, the 50-day journey from Egypt to Sinai ensured that Israel was no longer under the sinful influence of their idolatrous past.
50: at a distance = 58
Hawaii is the 50th and most recent state to have joined the United States of America, having received statehood on August 21, 1959.
A total solar eclipse will occur on Monday, August 21, 2017. It will be visible in totality only within a band across the entire contiguous United States.
58 years. Noah (נח). grace (חן). 2017 - 58th Presidential Inauguration
4. Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits [207 - ohr, light] by measure; do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you must go; for you have not passed this way [969] before:
By measure: a 50 cubit measure, times 40 = 2000, plus 17 for good (tov, טוב) measure. :)
Noah + grace = Yinon (ינון).
nun + chet <-> chet + nun, a mirrored reflection in water.
It would help to explain the mirrored letters in Psalm 72:17, centered on the mem of the word shemesh, sun. It matches Bilaam's "vision of Shaddai I saw falling". Sun + water = rainbows
Pardon the apparent weirdness at the end, LTOS. It just needs to be 'out there' for later.
And Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
What a wonderful lesson. Thank you for sharing your insight and blessing upon us through it. Amen to each prayer and praise listed.
