The Gospel According to John--"I Am The Bread of Life" (John 6:35)

Been there done that with technology, which is great until something goes haywire or stops working altogether!

“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet
shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? ‭‭John‬ ‭11:25-26‬ ‭

“For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭14:9‬ ‭

“Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open
your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭37:12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves
after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭27:52-53‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I know, right? LOL. I have not tried turning it back on since then, and that is where my photo shop is...

This machine has no battery power and always starts up right away as long as it is plugged in.

I originally replaced this device because after it smacked on the floor from my desk at work a couple
of times, the internet was so spotty and unreliable it was crazy making. But it is fine now!!! .

But you know what? After I lost internet dependability on this device is how I started doing my designs.
Because I reset to factory presets a couple of times trying to get the internet to work, and in so doing,
thought I had lost my fonts (I hadn't), and it was while I was searching out fonts that I started seeing
little things here and there that I would think, oh! If I was designing panels I could use that...
One thing led to another and before you know it? Ha. Yeah. The rest is history.

^ An early design... You can tell because (a) it is all purpley, and (b) it has a horse in it heh

Yep. that's the creative process for bringing our art to new levels with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit helping as well!

Thank you so much for your very kind words, Silver Fox!

John 7 covers Jesus' attendance at the "Jews' Feast of Tabernacles" (v. 2), which implies to me that is a festival the disciples didn't incorporate into their religious practices although there are some Christian denominations today who still observe this significant "feast" in God's plan for humanity.

It is the final festival outlined in the torah, and it spans several days like Passover. The Feast of Tabernacle occurs in the fall when the large grain harvests took place in Israel, and this festival is a time for celebration and thankfulness to God and His Providence. In line with your scripture quotes above talking about the resurrection, the "great day of the feast" (v. 37), a.k.a "the last great day" is viewed by some as the final culmination of God's plan for redemption. The day represents the final resurrection of God's people to put a great ending to the often sad story of humanity's history of rebellion against their Creator.

Halfway through the feast, Jesus says

John 7:24

New King James Version

24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”

How do you think this important teaching fits in with the Feast of Tabernacles, which appears on the whole to be representative of the "millennium", brother?

More cool ideas coming soon from me on this awesome chapter from John!

Haha I googled it earlier and a bunch of stories came up about Stephen hawkkng lol

Aaaahhhhh! LOL. Well, he was an atheist, married to a Christian. Until he divorced her to marry one of his care-givers. Did you see the movie based on his life? Eddie Redmayne may have been one of the main reasons I did. The Theory of Everything. Wow! From ten years ago, now. Hawking made the assertion that since the law of gravity exists, the universe could have been created from nothing. Eh? I have no idea what he means to say by that. LOL! But as an atheist he is surely attempting to deny God had anything to do with it. But it also seems ridiculous to say the universe was created from nothing if gravity had anything to do with it. Right? I mean, gravity is something. Heh. Not nothing. Hawking is one of the unholy trinity, you know: Hawking, Dawkins, and Hitchens .

Oh, here is his quote: "Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous
creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist," Hawking writes.

Indeed I googled hawking lol and was thinking

“ I don’t think this is the guy she was talking about “ haha

David Hocking is certainly not a favourite teacher of mine, but he has been on the roster
of daily (weekdays, anyways) programs that kari5.com carries, for quite a few years, so
I suppose I have heard quite a bit from him in that time, and just last week I was quite
impressed with something he shared while I was working, so I wrote down the Scripture
verses he was referencing so I could look into it further...

Yes I like to always try to hear people especially if it’s not already agreeable to what I think sort of good
to challenge our own thoughts when we hear other thoughts, to test thier strength and integrity

Even Johnny Mac says something every once in a while that I like .

Mmmmmmm Mac and cheese……sorry sorry what we’re we talking about ?

I’ve never really looked into the feasts but others have told me alot of cool things regarding them brother I’d like to hear more of what your saying there to be honest rether than talk about a subject im not really familiar with

i know from others there’s alot of significance to the feasts I just never have really understood it . I’m here to hear and learn things I don’t know as well as share things I think I know so if you get time please elaborate. It’s always appreciated dear brother

Here's a good article that summarizes some of the key aspects of the Feast of Tabernacles:

What Does the Feast of Tabernacles Mean to Christians? (learnreligions.com)

Leviticus chapter 23 outlines "the feasts of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My feasts" (v.2).

Notice the emphasis the Lord places on these "holy convocations" that they are His feasts. The weekly Sabbath is included in the list as well.

Here are the annual feasts that God passed on to Moses and the Israelites:

1. Passover and Days of Unleavened Bread--represent the night the Israelites were passed over from death in Egypt by the blood of a lamb on their doorposts. Of course, this festival foreshadowed Jesus (the Lamb of God) dying on the cross to save us from eternal death, and the Days of Unleavened Bread focus on putting leaven (sin) out of our lives.

2. Pentecost or the feast of "first-fruits" celebrated the smaller spring harvest in Israel, and for Christians it is the day the Holy Spirit came.

3. Feast of Trumpets points ahead to the return of Jesus Christ.

4. Day of Atonement is a day of fasting and becoming "at one" with our Lord. It also points to the time when Satan is bound for 1000 years during the millennium.

5. Feast of Tabernacles and the Last Great Day point to the millennium and the resurrection of God's people (2nd resurrection noted in the Bible--the first takes place for Christians when Jesus returns).

It is interesting that the spring festivals have been fulfilled in human history with the Passover (Jesus' death) and Pentecost (arrival of the Holy Spirit), yet the fall festivals have not been fulfilled yet. I was thinking about that recently and was struck by the large gap of time between the spring festivals and the fall festivals annually. It's been over 2000 years since Jesus died and the Holy Spirit entered the stage, and who knows (only God) when the Feast of Trumpets will happen with Christ's triumphant return!
