The Sun of Righteousness

The Sun of Righteousness

This Sun shines with healings in wings. Heals the whole man- spirit, soul and body. Healings in the cells of your body. Healings to your mind, thoughts, and feelings. Healing in your spirit. This Sun shines to destroy and consume the works of darkness. Every form of unrighteousness is consumed wherever and on whomever this Sun shines on. The works of righteousness are established on whomever…

Malachi 4:2 (ESV) - But for you who fear My name, the Sun of Righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall.

i haven't told anyone this. i read your poem and it really hit me. i'm also in the process of converting to judaism. i've been going to temple since i was a teenager. i live in a small community in the bible belt of the US, so my synagogue is the only one for miles and miles around. i've been trying to convert for years - the only thing in the way has been money for classes. my rabbi, i discovered, is a zionist, and i can't bear to be anywhere near her after hearing what she's said about palestinians. i feel so angry. i feel so very angry. she's the only thing standing in the way between me and finally becoming jewish, even though i've been trying to live a very jewish life for years. i've been trying for so long. she's supposed to be an authority, but turns her back on those suffering for the sake of blind nationalism. i feel so estranged from the community i grew up in. i don't think at this rate i'll be able to convert, even though i'm so, so close to finishing up. i just can't bear to give her my money. i don't know what to do. i don't know where i was going with this. just that i hope you know you're not alone.

💙 thank you for trusting me with your experience. you are not alone either beloved. a dear friend of mine told me "i think you are embodying a lot of jewish values by choosing to stand against this and wait indefinitely. it will just be that much sweeter when you get there with your head held high." hearing that was really comforting and i hope that it comforts you too. we will build the world to come with our own hands and it will be one in which palestine is free and there is no more compromise between religion and nationalism's atrocities. insha2all_h and b"h you and i will sit next to each other in service and share a meal together in that world. shabbat shalom.

The sun is spoken of as an angel with healing in its wings. You may not be aware that persons who live in a room which opens only to the north, are more in danger of sickness than if they lived in a room which faced the opposite point of the compass. Statistics tell us that the un-sunned rooms of a barracks or hospital are much less healthful than those parts on which the sun shines through the day. It is said that the absence of the direct rays of the sun increases the mortality twenty percent, as compared with the places on which it shines continually. The sun is our best doctor and sunshine is our cheapest and most efficient physic. Narrow streets, blind alleys, and back slums in which the rays of the sun never shine are a disgrace to our humanity. In such places you see, like as you see in that part of your garden on which the sun does not shine, stunted and diseased human plants. If you give the people wide streets and good houses, and provide three times the number of gaslights at night, you will have a more healthful and a more holy city than we have just now. The sun shines away disease, and a powerful light scares away sin. ~ W. Birch

based on a true story

(side note, it's very euphoric drawing my kid self as a girl! i'll have to do more of this!)

Edit: this has a proper image description now, written by @disasterhimbo

thank you very much! ID below the cut and in alt text:

[ID: a comic titled “Weird Girl: a comic by Scout Forester.” It’s full-color and in a cartoon style. It opens with close-ups of each of three children’s faces, all with big eyes and open mouths, observing a praying mantis in awe. An older kid comes up to them and says, “Hey shrimps! Don’t ya know we’re playin’ boys vs. girls right now? Why’re y’all weirdos just sittin’ around? Are y’all scared? Y’all chicken?” He is depicted towering over the younger children as he says this, but in the next panel, he is much less intimidating, just standing across from them on the playground equipment. One of the children, a girl with curly red hair, replies, “Um, we don’t wanna play that. We’re busy.” Another kid says, “We’re watchin’ a prayin’ mantis here, it’s real cool.” The bully, red-faced and sweaty with a red explosive background behind him, yells, “Sh-shut up! I’m big and you’re small, so I can make you play with me!” The redheaded girl looks at him inscrutably.

The next two panels are larger, with a black background. The redheaded girl closes her eyes. When she opens them again, she looks righteously angry, and only her eyes are in color. Next to her is a bust of a dinosaur with lightning bolts striking the dinosaur’s portrait. She says determinedly, “spirit of the pachycephalosaurus.” In a tiny panel, a simply-drawn version of the bully says, “wait, wha-” The last panel is the biggest, and depicts the redheaded girl headbutting the bully and knocking the wind out of him with a comic-book style, all-caps “wham!” The praying mantis is perched on the bars of the playground equipment and the sun is shining behind both kids, giving a dramatic lighting effect.

We can Experience and Enjoy Christ as the Great Light until we Shine like the Sun

As believers in Christ, we can experience and enjoy Christ as the great light shining in the darkness until we shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of our Father! Amen! Christ is the great light shining on those sitting in darkness and rising on those sitting in the region and shadow of death; we need to experience and enjoy Christ as the great light shining in us and on us so that we may go…

The Light of God

I’ve been tracing themes through scripture as part of my devotional time – exploring how God masterfully weaves His great story together. Today, I’m looking at the Light of God. Creation: Genesis 1:2a NLT: The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. Genesis 1:3 NLT: Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. Genesis 1:4b NLT: Then he separated the…

i can’t believe this

it’s almost like

you asked for water

after kicking dirt into my eyes

some men are foolish

some men are vain

but what’s the difference

if we all go out the same

i can't show you what you still don't want to see

keep pretending like there's something wrong with me

tear the earth in two and throw it to the sun

pull a string and watch the heavens come undone

you lost yourself in

some sad abyss

drowned in self-righteousness

and limitless percipience

i found a way out

i’m on the mend

there’s nothing left 

but i can live with myself in the end

Malachi 4:2 (NLT) - “But for you who fear My name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture.

if fig and kristen not sisters, then why fig being set up as a narrative foil of ankarna’s (maybe even being groomed by porter to be her paladin as her corrupted rage form), who actually might uncorrupt her by believing in her as she was? “Goddess she was of righteousness and the clarity of conviction to act with all the burning fury of the sun. That those who would wrong her or her SISTER would not be allowed to let their wickedness spread.” idk sounds like german shepherd mode to me! sounds like being a paladin, not of kristen’s goddess but of kristen, to me! sounds like SISTERS to me!!
