All the earth...

This phrase is used rather often in the Bible. I noticed it for the first time in Gen. 41:57 this morning.

"And all countries came to #egypt to Joseph to buy #grain, because the #famine was severe over all earth."

This reminded me of #noah's flood that also covered all the #earth. So, how severe was this drought? Was it over all the earth or just localized?

I then wonder, if it was only localized then what do we make of all the other Scripture that talks about all the earth like:

1. Noah's flood
2. Yeshua saying that the Gospel needs to be spread to all the earth before His return.
3. Paul saying that the Gospel has been spread across #alltheearth...
4. The reign of the Anti-christ.

What is your understanding in this? Should we use the same interpretation in all these instances or are some merely speaking figuratively?

"As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent."

Today is day 23 (sunset 5/19 to sunset 5/20) of 50 days to Shavu'ot!

As a whole Bible believer who tries to walk out God's commands, I often hear the question: have you even read Galatians? Many people struggle with reconciling the teachings of Paul about the law -- is there a contradiction there? Is it law or grace? In this series, I discuss what Paul was getting at in Galatians. Why did he say he had died to the law? Did he stop following God's law in order to pursue grace in Christ?

The Law of Moses is the eternal, immutable Law of God as codified in a particular time and place.

The Law of God vs the Law of Moses - American Torah

There’s a growing dispensationalist belief among Christians that the Law of Moses is distinctly different from the Law of God and even that the Law of Moses is in some ways incompatible with the Law of God. I call this idea metanomianism, since

Oh how many of these there are that plague and plunder The Way. The Messy-anic Movement is a mess mostly because of Ultracrepidarians - men and women who comment, criticize, acclaim and advise beyond their area of expertise.

Souls sent running back to the ruination of the Church because they were taught false mythology by an ultracrepidarian. So many folks fleeing to new religions over finding out the pagan origins of our old ways aren’t as dark as described by the ultracredidarian teacher.
And oh so many atheists emerging from our movement because they allowed themselves to be taught the truth from an ultracrepidarian and then uncovered more truth the more they studied thereafter.

Be extremely careful who you take to be your teachers. Be sure they know their subject. And be certain they do not overstep into areas they know less about than a tailor would about taxidermy.
