Personal statements....and reality....

 Yes.....these PERSONAL experiences matter.....

In the "short term" effect....we can SEE things like what happens when a person ends up slipping on some ICE....in Norway.....a broken leg, a scar.....etc etc.  These little things may or may not end up as BIG THINGs on the radar screen of human behaviour and interactions.  An isolated COLD environment is an isolated COLD environment.

but in the LONG TERM effect..... we may or may NOT see things like what happens because JESUS grew up in NAZARETH.....CAPERNAUM and other "stories" of the bible.  Jonah.....had an aftershock on the problems in the Middle East.  Some super religious knowledge scholars will reveal that Nineveh was a fully engaged TERROR environment so to speak.

If the question shows up....."Jesus....did you have experience growing up around people from the "Levant"?"  Jesus will say...... clearly...... "YES!"

Some scars "look" easy to deal with....but in REALITY....they are NOT easy to deal with.  Why?  Because so and so is related to so and so......xyz person is an IN-LAW..... so and so is an nth cousin..... so and so was a part of this or that HISTORY LESSON (those family tree computer-data-bases that reveal little events....such as wars and rumours of wars).  Even the Book of Ruth has history lessons in Social family Tree records (In-law environments could go any which way......if you know what I mean.....an nth cousin of an nth cousin......can mean YIKES to those types of discussions from history lessons.....yikes those Moabites....but yet the OLDER one....wasn't Ruth...but Naomi!).  What about.....xyz person in the family tree...... ummmmm uh oh.... DON'T let the GOSSIP rule the coop....because so and so doesn't get things right about xyz CELEBS!

The SAME STORY LINE that JESUS has in his ancestry.....aka.....who begat whom...... applies EQUALLY to Jewish and Gentile figures in history.....  Abe Isaac and Jacob (sure....one can look at them as just "religious" figures)..... BUT when a person sees them as REAL humans with REAL events in their PERSONAL STORY.....  things will SHOW UP on the focal point of REAL human history (sorry Charles Darwin, Abe and Isaac.....were NOT in opposition to each other...Abe....was simply applying the FACTS of what happened in the EVENTS of human history as they are written....but GOD intervened, so ISAAC became a full story of a full event man.  In other words, human sacrifice wasn't something hidden in the reeds, but literally happened in various tribes around the globe in ancient cultures.)

I'm not saying that a person NEEDS to actually GO to Medical School (the videos below).....  but to CORRELATE with REALITY in the STORY-LINE..... based on the clearly evident and ever present GREAT PHYSICIAN.  The STORY of his-story continues to unfold through the use of SCRIPTURE as a STORY written in the sands of TIME!  Being born from a virgin (the time for his actual birth is only a SHADOW and the actual birth date isn't as important....as the STORY itself reflects MORE about whom he is and the trials he encountered before he became a full-grown adult) before the ISRAELITE people ever encountered a "racoon" or named the name "potato latke" in their vocabulary, can build up more resistance to error than we realize......just sayin (good physicians KNOW the dietary things in different culture landscapes).  STORY LINES can either draw a person to the TRUTH....or they are REJECTING the TRUTH....based on suppositions.  Human Behaviour elements as they actually are.

All in all....when a person KNOWS the TRUTH....they WILL be set free.

THE STORY of the BIBLE reflects REALITY of WHOM the REDEEMER actually happens to be....(short Hebrew lesson for you..... there are 22 letters in the Hebrew Alphabet.....the word HALLOWED is ONLY mentioned 22 times in the WHOLE BIBLE....not more or less...but the SAME number as the HEBREW LETTERS in ALPHABET...possibly for a reason  a psalm 119 reason.)

YES, these WARS and RUMOURS of WARS will not end.....  IT IS WRITTEN so that WE CAN BE WARNED!

******Does the writer of this blog have experience working and hanging out in the every-day life of people from the LEVANT background?  YES.....  not in middle-east atmosphere...but just general principles of family and community life, online and offline*****

Informative things found in this video.....BEWARE of "stereotypes"' on college campus (or other more liberal leaning motivational strategies) about the terms "Islamophobia" found in "white people" or "Jewish people" or "Middle East people".....

Note: its NOT a political party thing......its not a "choose sides" thing.....its an AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE....we WILL SERVE THE LORD thing.....  one cannot CHANGE the orders of "time" .... as in a FARMER'S ALMANAC type of orders of nature and events that unfold....  

DO NOT serve the VIOLENT PEOPLE and give them their "cake" (the Ninevites of old)..... often, they LOVE self-righteous attention.  They act as if they care about oppressed people...but ONLY for their OWN glory.  Their tone OFTEN comes in the style of supporting the infliction of pain on children under age 21 in some way or another or putting vulnerable adults at risk (disabled or 80+ disabled).  Even in the USA civil war event..... SIBLINGS killed their own SIBLINGS from their own household simply because they were on opposite sides of "the fence!"

Meaningful song..... YES.... I do believe that people who don't regularly consult Isaiah 53....have elements of TRUTH in their life (aka they are just general Jewish practicing people).  Never-the-less....this song holds a lot of WATER.... in his way and HIS-TIME.
