Daily Bible Reflection 10-15-6104 (225-3)(Qumran calendar time) *Lev 25-26:2 portion*

10-15-6104 (225-3)(Qumran calendar time)
*Lev 25-26:2 portion* randomly selected

(This is an unedited reflection)
It is apparent that God considers his land sacred.  He will not allow men to destroy or permanently use land without respect.  We in our human condition do not understand that we are a part of the "dust" and to the "dust" we will return.  If we don't respect the soil, and lower our material intake, how in the world can God consider us worthy of his priase.  Yes, there are political foul people who claim to "care about the land" with the saying that there is something like "global warming" going on, but in reality, they are not interested in Holy matters, but basic political matters.
By studying the matters of this portion from a commentary perspective, there is a certain number of years in which God asks the people for a "year of Jubilee."  Since the time of creation, the number of Jubilee's have been counted.  Apparently we use a "Gregorian calendar" with its alignment to the time of Christ and alignment with the sun, but in fullness of the scripture we should rely upon the "year of jubilee."  The number 49 which leads to 50 can rest in reality that the solar system itself is aligned to planetary movements and so forth (Notice how the planets align with constellations every so many years....30 is the number for the planet Saturn, 12 is the number for Jupiter and so forth).  These planetary movements have been there since the time of creation.  So how many jubilee's since the time of creation.  It is easy to calculate: 6104/49 = 124.5 or 6104/50 = 122 jubilees.  Surely it is easier to calculate since the time of creation by Jubilee's than it is to calculate by Gregorian calendar methods, which have flaws.  Sincere people who know the Qumran calendar clearly understand that there are 6 divisions in the Qumran calendar and a certain number of moons in each Jubilees. Have fun recognizing that there ARE truly patterns in this universe and we are using the land, just once.....and then eternity.
Furthermore we are dealing with principles of poverty.  Surely God knows that the poor will be with us always.  Without knowing this, and awknowledging that the scritpures are for all people, there is no hope for humanity.  Poverty can come upon any group of people at any time.  Anyone from refugees to consistent dwellers in the lands enclosed by war/famine or political crimes against the best of humanity.  Without the compassion for the poor, there is no compassion for the overall good of humanity.  God does not want us to rule over the poor man with rigour.  Those who do so are entitled and there is no goodness within them.  People in the scripture may be redeemed by a close kin.  Uncle, brother or other individual.  God continues to remind the children of Israel that they were once slaves in Egypt.  Unfortunately many people do not believe that the children of Israel (indigenous to Israel) were once slaves in Egypt.  Such a condition of being part of the “trail of tears” and seeing the results, doesn’t fit into the modern man’s mind.  Evidence for such slavery in the days of Moses seems far-fetched, but in God’s eyes, all the words of scripture stand forever and ever.
