(Just notes....so no major editing) So Thanksgiving is an interesting thing to "think about." If you are not THANKFUL for the foods given to you...and the soil upon which you stand? What are you donning? Accusation towards your creator? Hate/racism towards the first people who actually once harvested and ate these foods? I cannot decide for you what is in your HEART (no forgiveness, no time with loved ones, disrespect towards basic service people in our society etc.). Only YOU can decide to be thankful despite the trials of life.
**These little facts are based on Wikepedia and side studies....sorry if this seems "odd" or something....its just a play and introduction of "culture" and REAL America as it stands....for today....we should be Thankful. (The REAL American.....is a mix of blended family and culture...... originating with survival by "give us our daily bread"..... the foods .... bread=starchy foods)
I don't know how many people are well versed on American history, but any with "eyes to see, and ears to hear" can properly understand history of this USA holiday (Its relatively "new" as far as timing on indigenous people's method of keeping time, not Gregorian systems...think Mayan/indigenous.....hence they were here since some time after the fall of Tower of Babel*....Morning Star is used as a reference in calendar systems...... languages from ancient people mesh even across the pond)
note from* - The Morning Star is referenced in Mayan Calendar Systems. Native American cultures notice the "woman's star" in their astronomy calculations. Sure it seems insignificant to us today, but calculating things WITH the arrival of the Qumran Calendar hidden beneath soils of time, WILL reveal the "patterns" the ancient people understood. BOTH ancient culture understood patterns! The "moon" has a cycle meshed with the sun (Qumran Calendar) and its position on the horizon....the pattern? Year of Jubilee and then repeat. The "morning star" has a cycle meshed with a 8 year "return" among the constellations (sorry for the confusion but astronomical positioning changes with earths tilt). Patterns matter in nature and calendars in order to WORK. These things of the Mazzaroth are difficult to explain to those who have not studied....the wise men knew their way.
Of course there are patterns in nature.....cut an apple in two, the width way....and a star appears. Fold our own hands in a certain way while the light shines on the hands while standing in a dark room.....and patterns of animal shapes and other structures are formed.
**Creator's wisdom: Racoons have the patterns of a hand of a man(thumb positions), and Racoons use these hands. An apple fits perfectly into the hand of a man. In other words, it is NOT bigger than a pumpkin, and not smaller than a grape, but fits perfectly in the hand of a grown man. Bison are designed for American soil and some areas of Europe with snow.....Buffalo are designed "like the ox" for regions of Africa and middle east. The animals stand at about the same height as the cattle, which are perfectly proportioned with the height of a grown man. side note: difference between Bison and Buffalo....info: here
Consider the foods in the meal:
Turkey - The bird is a clean animal. This bird is NOT of European/Middle East origin. Hens/Chickens are more Levant origins.
Cranberry - This fruit was eaten by native people of America.
Corn (Maize) - Corn is mentioned in the scripture (But is this a type of Couscous, Sorghum, Millet, or other grain from the region). Corn was used by Native Americans in various ways (including household items, toys, rugs, maybe startches etc) **See Wikepedia paragraph below
Squash/Pumpkin - These foods were regular staple items in Indigenous homes. Very few Europeans have tasted "pumpkin pie"
Potato - Original estimates actually credit Europe's population boom to the potato! Before the potato introduction to Europe, people struggled. Of course there was the potato famine, maybe due to various social pressure and lack of full knowlege. The potato originated in America. (But don't Jewish people make Potato Latkes....during Hannukah? Was this introduced to the "levant" culture?)
Tomato - ? Maybe someone brought Succotash (a common food in America during the great depression origins from Native American recipe)
Pecan - Native to the Ameircas.
Swet Potato - Polynesia origins with traces of "travel" to the South America region. Americas developed more "culture" and "recipe" than Europe.
(notice that a lot of these above particular foods are not listen in the scripture anywhere, except by "general description" )
Wheat - Levant origins? Wheat is used in Descriptions in the bible, wheat was not used by Indigenous Cultures (for pies, rolls, breads). Native Americans didn't have a "pie" recipee as they didn't use stoves. It is said that in "Christian Religion Circles" that the communion wafer couldn't have any other grain but wheat to be legit. (sorry corn, potato or other starches indigenous to America)
Onions - This food is mentioned in the scripture!
Apple - Apples are actually NOT indigenous to USA. Look up the history of Johnny Apple Seed! See, the trees were not already "here"
Milk - South West Asia/ Levant origins! Any dairy products have origin of practice from this region.
Honey - (if used as an alternative Sweetner.....even in old pie recipes). Yes, some people associate Thanksgiving with the fall feasts (in cluding Rosh Hashanah....apples and honey).
**Columbian exchange
After the arrival of Europeans in 1492, Spanish settlers consumed maize and explorers and traders carried it back to Europe and introduced it to other countries. Spanish settlers far preferred wheat bread to maize, cassava, or potatoes. Maize flour could not be substituted for wheat for communion bread, since in Christian belief only wheat could undergo transubstantiation and be transformed into the body of Christ.[23] Some Spaniards worried that by eating indigenous foods, which they did not consider nutritious, they would weaken and risk turning into Indians. "In the view of Europeans, it was the food they ate, even more than the environment in which they lived, that gave Amerindians and Spaniards both their distinctive physical characteristics and their characteristic personalities."[24] Despite these worries, Spaniards did consume maize. Archeological evidence from Florida sites indicate they cultivated it as well.[25]
Maize spread to the rest of the world because of its ability to grow in diverse climates. It was cultivated in Spain just a few decades after Columbus's voyages and then spread to Italy, West Africa and elsewhere.[25]
*****
Any how after all the "food origins" story of Thanksgiving.....
Give Credit to the maker who MADE the soil....upon which the foods were grown! No man on earth in ancient could have EVER described the "design" of the animals listed in Lev 11 (hence the Turkey is a clean animal but it has a chemical that makes people sleepy). Wheat is a staple item around the world as well as corn. Man truly cannot live on bread alone.
So what? Why does this matter....well a lot of the foods seem to come from "the Mayan region" as per Wikepedia. What is common among the Moshiakins.....wait a minute..... how did I pronounce this??? MOSHIACH .... INS. (mexicans). Messiah .... ins..... Translations between Hebrew and ancient indigenous culture.
Anyway....
Just a play on the words. Fiddle around until one understands the RIDDLES of LANGUAGE and culture hidden among us..... anyone notice the MOSHE - ZIBBEDI River (Moses Big River) Translation.....MississippI...... Chicago (that has Native Language too.....not sure the translation as of yet....a rendering of onions in the region?).
English play on words. The English were at the Thanksgiving dinner too....More than likely a KJV bible or Geneva style bible were used by English speaking people. (yes I know the 1619 project people want to project "the horrors" of the white people....I'm not here to point these things out....as anyone should know better than that..... Noah?...as EVEN MOSES himself was a murderer...but God uses[purposefully leaving this word in present tense] him for BIG THINGS) THANKS.....GIVING...... again. THANKS ..... GIVING. wait a minute. WHY in the WORLD is the word GIVING meshed with THANKS.
In order to be TRUELY thankful we need to GIVE. HE .....is the ONE and ONLY who GAVE his life for US! If we are in him we GIVE THANKS.....and are GIVING!
