Genesis 25:6 indicates Abraham fathered children with at least two concubines, Hagar and Keturah. In the ancient Hebrew cultural context, a concubine was a wife with all the legal protections and obligations that implies, but she was also a purchased slave with all of the protections and obligations implied by that status. It was a lesser position than a free wife, but how good or bad life might be depended almost entirely on the culture and family. Just like everything else.
Finally got back to the Coop this weekend. Made some rear access doors. I have been going through the footage and it looks like some is missing. So I am thinking I will simply upload in episodes rather than as a complete start to finish (since it still isnt finished, wasnt expecting it to take this long lol.)
I don't think Keturah was the same person as Hagar. If Keturah was just another name for Hagar, then she was having children at over sixty years of age. It's more likely that they were two different women.
Abraham was 140 years old when Sarah died, and his marriage to Keturah appears to have happened after that. If so, then there was probably more than one hundred years age difference between them. There was a lesser age difference between Jacob and his two wives, Rachel and Leah, but still more than 40 years.
Those men lived much longer than we do, but that was still a pretty big gap. There's nothing morally wrong with a man marrying a much younger woman, depending on his health and how long he expects to live after the marriage. Any qualms we have are in our own minds and cultural prejudices.
Just a thought tonight:
When you pray, do it with the moment and future in mind. Do not repeat or even think of the past -- the past is done; it cannot be re-done. It is similar when you drive your car, you cannot drive looking permanently in the rear-view-mirror. You will cause accidents. You have to face front into what is coming, where you are going. The same with prayer -- you have to 1) face the future 2) involve Yeshua in your decisions for your own safety and 3) have the same faith that you will make it to where you go. Yes, as in driving, the devil will try to cut you off. He will try to encourage road rage and he will cause accidents but when you face the future with Elohiym, you are sure to be satisfied with the outcome. That is His Promise to us. Be blessed and sleep well with Him in your dreams tonight.
When [the Holy Spirit] comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
John 16:8-11
#yeshua came to call the Jews to repentance. He sent the Spirit to call the whole world. And how does the Spirit admonish the world concerning their sin if not through the lives and words of righteous, God-fearing people?
The natural extension of believing in Yeshua is obedience. If you don't obey the words of Yeshua--not some nebulous Law of Jesus that nobody can define--then you don't believe. The Holy Spirit has no commandments of his own, but only teaches the commandments of God and convicts the world of disobedience to the commandments of Yeshua, which are the same as the commandments of God.
