Murph calling Hardwon eating rocks in the new episode a new low is hilarious when you start watching the 12 hour tomb of horrors stream and less than 5 minutes in Caldwell says "Beverly eats the first rock he sees." Which Moonshine quickly copies.

Hardwon then licks a rock and calls the others weird. So I guess actually eating the rock is technically a new low for Hardwon, but the rest of the Band of Boobs was doing it already.

Plagues in the Bible Lesson 04: Plagues in the Wilderness

After the ten plagues of Egypt, the people of Israel were led out of Egypt by Moses.  After such an experience, one would think the people of Israel had more than their fair share of plagues.  However, they went through at least four more plagues in their wilderness journey?  What happened and why?

Let’s read together Exodus 16:1-16; Numbers 11:1-6, 18-20, 31-33; and Psalms 78:17-32,  105:40, 106:13-15.

The Bible records two times where the people of Israel were asking for meat.  Both times God responded by giving them quail.  Why did God send a plague upon the people of Israel the second time?

God showed mercy towards the people of Israel the first time they asked for meat.  However, the people of Israel demonstrated distrust of God when they asked for meat the second time.  God had already provided them food daily by giving them manna.  He also gave them water when they needed it.  Yet, the people of Israel were tired of manna and craving meat.  They even went so far as to crave the food they had when they were slaves in Egypt.

Interestingly, the name “Kibroth Hattaavah” can be translated as “graves of craving” or “graves of lust.”  God punished the people of Israel for giving into their carnal cravings.  

Let’s read together Numbers chapters 13 and 14.

Moses sent twelve spies to check out the land of Canaan.  They returned after forty days and confirmed that land was indeed bountiful.  However, ten of the spies told the people of Israel that they would not be able to conquer the inhabitants of the land, who were simply too large and powerful.

Joshua and Caleb begged  the people of Israel to follow the word of the Lord in faith to enter the promised land in faith.  However, the people murmured against Moses and Aaron, wanting to choose new leaders to take them back to Egypt. 

In response to the people’s rebellion, God sent a plague that killed the ten spies.  The people of Israel would also not be allowed to enter the promised land for another forty years.  They would all die in the wilderness, except for Joshua and Caleb.  Thus, the people of Israel were punished for blatantly doubting God’s promises and seeking to make their own way.

Let’s read together Number 16:46-50; Romans 8:34; and Hebrews 7:25.

Korah, Dathan, and Abiram led a rebellion against Moses and Aaron.  They contended for the leadership of Israel, but they failed to acknowledge that it was God who appointed Moses and Aaron to be leaders.  Korah, Dathan, and Abiram were killed by God for their presumption.

However, the rebellion did not end there.  The next day the people of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, siding with Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.  God sent a plague upon the people of Israel.  Aaron rushed into the camp with a censer to atone for the people of Israel.  He literally stood between the living and the dead to end the plague.

Aaron’s intercessory action pointed to Jesus, who would stand between us and the plague of sin.

Let’s read together Numbers 21:4-9; John 3:13-15; and John 12:30-36.

Once again, the people of Israel murmured against Moses.  God sent poisonous fiery serpents to plague them in response.  God instructed Moses to make a bronze snake and set it upon a pole.  Anyone bit by a fiery serpent would live if they looked upon the bronze snake.  However, if they refused to look up at the bronze snake, they would die.

This incident foreshadowed Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross.  Jesus died bearing all the sins of humanity.  Everyone who repents of their sins and accepts Jesus as their Lord and Savior will be saved.  However, anyone who refuses to accept Jesus will die in their own sins.

Let’s read together Isaiah 45:22; John 14:6; 1 John 2:1; and Hebrews 12:2.

What can we learn from these plagues in the wilderness?  We will die in our sins if we rely upon ourselves.  Instead, we need to look upon Jesus and accept His infinite sacrifice on the cross.  Jesus is the only One who can save us from the plague of sin.

Friend, will you confess and repent of your sins and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior?

8 Then Amalek came and fought with Israel at Rephidim. 9 So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose for us men, and go out and fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.” 10 So Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought with Amalek, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. 11 Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and…

Whoever Believes (John 3:14-21)

Even though there many today who simplify the exchange between Jesus and Nicodemus with a single Bible verse of John 3:16, taking a good look at the Gospel of John puts most of us with Nicodemus.

Interview Between Jesus and Nicodemus, by James Tissot (1836-1902) Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.” For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to…

Plotting is not an accident.

Your Will is intentional.

Excuse.

Allah is the Spirit beyond you.

Doubters.

Brahman, a.

Believers do not read words and sit in the Idolatry of blatant gross interpretation. HERE is where the liars falter and fail to read. Pride, thou. Fear. Revealed. There is no Escape.

Schemers should get a new job.

Work is reaching Heaven's perfection,

Now. | Kill this, and you have no mind at all, a betrayer to the people.

Yes, I know.

Resurrection is now revealed. A liar who idolatrizes it to take station above the people as Lord shall be cursed.

Find honorable duty.

Be one with Hope,

And not in name, or spite,

envy;

There must be room for you, too;

for the tails of the comets so linger and weep until Eternity destroys those who think they should exist at all cost to others,

With comforted vain smiles,

To punish the innocent whom they are NOT, anymore - Return!

May the gongs and numb lies end.

Continue.

Provide good work for the Prophets.

Who is rich today, sweep the streets.

Who is in squalor today, end the streets. Being Elysium.

Some wish to be on the platform.

You Are Not Lord.

Yet Still, You Climb Your Towers seeking power of Lightning to rule the land in wickedness, animals burning in pollution for your Grasping. No one but you, the irresponsible frauds who suck on the People, keeping all apart from Heaven.

I am the only Prophet today.

You, in your wrong priority, of the degradation of earth, seek the security of your future, above all others.

You do nothing for God, or you would have given all in sorrow to end injustice. You chose to produce filth and toys instead.

You are rubbish, and you called the innocent filth.

Take take take

Doubt. Thy error.

Stop killing those who don't serve your silly aims to be a shining star of fame and fortune above others.

The Cold Is Winter.

The Sun is free.

So why do you steal from all of these?

Wear a Santa hat,

And Stop taking everything.

STOP SELLING. You Drain all opportunity for a future for anybody.

Do you not remember the rose?

I don't wanna grow up, I'm a misfit toys are us,

And I am but one trillion years old.

Do you get the joke?

A faltering heart rings, the wishers celebrating the cry of the worldwolf - said they, "save us", falsely, skied.

Does the Serpentine Symbol of Healing Have a Biblical Origin? | ArmstrongInstitute.org

Apologetics

Apologetics

The Bronze serpent

Moses the Old Testament prophet lifted a bronze serpent on a pole and all who looked at it were healed. The Bronze serpent in the New Testament is Jesus Christ who offered his body as living sacrifice for the atonement of sins and by his stripes we are healed of mental and physical afflictions.

The Ark of the Covenant

The Ark has its history from Noah and God ordered Noah to build an ark and to save his family from the flood. Then after Noah’s time, the ark became a physical structure housing the Ten Commandments.  By the coming of the New Testament the ark became the physical body of Christ and it became symbolic of blessings, healings and miracles.

Elements of Prayer

The elements of prayer are the following: Praise and Worship, a dialogic one, and a one of spiritual, material, and physical needs. God has created humans so that they can offer God thanksgiving, worship, honor, glory, praise and worship. A dialogic relationship with God is God becoming a mentor as a Father and Friend. It is a prodigal welcome of the Father as he accepted the prodigal son who returned to the Father. God is a father who supplies as all our emotional, physical, material and financial needs. We can praise and worship and offer thanksgiving and honor God and make our prayer requests to him.

Serpentine Drum Stand From The Warring States Period

Another surrealist masterpiece. Artifacts like this make Warring States one of my favorite eras.)

The stand is conceived for the Jian type drum (建鼓), a double-headed drum with a pole, fixed on this base. The drum was skewered on a pole, just like an olive on a toothpick:

The top of the pole was often ornate with fluttering feathers (羽葆), the structure itself being reminiscent of the archetypal Axis Mundi and the World Tree. The motif of ascent to the heavenly realms thanks to drumming is characteristic of shaman beliefs.

Han dynasty relief depicting the Ascension to Heavens. A pole with a two-headed Jian drum is portrayed in a shamanic manner, as the World Axis, piercing the realms. Jiangsu Normal University Museum (江蘇師範大學博物館).

The slot is surrounded by sixteen principal serpentine beings with progressing in fractal minor ones. They were inlaid with now lost turquoise.

Although intricate, the base is symmetrical. Four rings along the contour were used as carrying handles. The weight of the device is impressive: more than 192 kg. Unearthed in 1978 from the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng (Leigudun Tomb No.1 ), Suizhou, Hubei. On display in Hubei Provincial Museum (湖北省博物館).

Gilded Wolves Character’s Fav Netflix Shows

Severin

He’d relate a little too hard and wouldn’t want anyone to know he enjoyed animation so he’d erase it from his watch history every time.

Enrique

Bro’s sense of humor is so under appreciated. He’d play it for his students on April Fools.

Tristan

Imagine him sitting with his knees to his chest just like enraptured.

Laila

Girlie has great taste, I know it in my bones. (Projecting too👀)

Zofia

Fire. Duh. She would binge it all in one day and hyper-fixate on it. Very strong options about who should’ve won.

Hypnos

The drama, the scandal. He auditioned for this without a doubt.
