The animals in Isaiah 11:6-8 represent different kinds of people.
-Wolves are predatory pretenders.
-Lambs are harmless innocents.
-Leopards are sly opportunists.
-Kids are hapless adventurers.
-Young lions are confrontational and violent.
-Fatlings are slow and vulnerable.
-Cattle are a symbol and source of wealth.
-Bears are angry, unpredictable destroyers.
-Oxen are honest and powerful.
-Asps are crafty, shy killers.
-Adders are quick tempered and defensive, unfaithful friends.

My latest blog digs into the Anti-Jewish sentiment and delivers a few of my own: https://jbschirtzinger.beitesh....elpublications.org/2
We honor the memory of those touched by the Shoa (Holocaust) because it is the right thing to do - for the Jews who perished, for the Jews who survived, for the Christians and others who helped them, and for our children who need to know what happened so they can build a future in which such things remain a memory.

Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his loins.
Isaiah 11:5
#yeshua was righteous inside and out, totally blameless--it wasn't just a garment he put on in public and tossed aside in private--but the Jewish leadership of the first century didn't know what righteousness looked like and they rejected him like the patriarchs did Joseph. Later Christians dressed him up in foreign, pagan trappings--also just like Joseph--and most of his Jewish brothers can't see his Jewish identity anymore.

Happy Rosh Chodesh Triumph In Truth family! The new moon was spotted over Israel the evening of 6/26. We have now begun the 4th Biblical Month!
There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.
Isaiah 11:1
God promised David that he would always have a descendant to sit on the throne, but he didn't promise that his descendants would always actually hold any power. His line was never cut off, but it was severely pruned and even exiled for a time, but in the midst of that exile, under the thumb of a foreign empire, God gave David a Son who would transform his kingdom into something greater, something eternal, a Priest-King who would die, rise again, and ascend to a Throne that can never be corrupted, usurped, or surrendered.

I have been looking at variances between the different Septuagint versions and in my search came across Mark 1:41 which is unrelated, but shows a similar issue.
Was Yeshua angry or compassionate according to Mark 1:41 as it depends on which translation a person uses?
That then follows on, so how do we decide which translation to use if even the oldest manuscripts have different messages?
Do you follow a specific method of thinking when you come across these differences or do you simply accept the most compassionate version?

Sheol and Abaddon are before YHVH: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
Proverbs 15:11
Sheol isn't what we normally think of as "Hell", but the grave where the dead await judgment.
Abaddon is probably correctly translated as destruction in the KJV. It's also used in the Psalms, Job, and Revelation, where it is applied to "the angel of the bottomless pit". I believe this word refers to the Lake of Fire into which Sheol and death will one day be cast and destroyed.
Sheol, Abaddon, and death (mavet) all go together.
