Some folks are only happy when they are saying unhappy things. ??♂️
Like they need something to be on fire to scream about. Even if it’s the pilot light on the stove.
Tomorrow at sunset (central us time) begins the 12th month. Have a great prep day!
In a sense, we are all caught in a spiritual prison. Our hearts are incorrigible, and thus our Creator has turned us over to the consequences of our own misdeeds. That’s where we would remain had our Creator not determined to bring us out of that dark place. This is the story of redemption – we didn’t earn it, but God offers it anyway, even when we don’t realize there’s a better alternative to our current circumstances, nor understand how to find that alternative.
This is the story of Mark Randall’s life. One might say he was doomed from birth to a lawless life of darkness, but God would not leave him to that fate. How that happened is the subject of our lengthy interview with Mark. He explains how he exchanged the life of an incorrigible criminal to one of a redeemed servant of the Most High.

Hello brothers and sisters. Here is our bulletin for the coming Sabbath celebration on 3/1/2025: https://firstfruits.cc/blog/20....25/02/27/sabbath-bul
Please read the bulletin so that you know what is going on in our community.
Exactly as I show you concerning the pattern of the tabernacle, and of all its furniture, so you shall make it.
Exodus 25:9 ESV
Like an experienced computer programmer, God loves a good pattern, and he leaves his virtual fingerprints on everything he creates, including the Tabernacle, man, woman, and the family.

I put the ordering site back on http://hostmoves.com today. It was linked to a reseller site but I decided to but the actual shopping cart back on there even though it costs me money to run that every month. People tell me it's a better shopping cart.
What is the stuff called takhash that was used in the wilderness in #exodus 25:5, 26:14 and other places in Torah? Nobody knows for sure. It's been translated as the skin of porpoise, goat, dugong, badger, and even unicorn. Some believe that the takhash of the Tabernacle's outer covering was multi-colored. Something like Joseph's coat, perhaps?
In my opinion (based on non-scholarly Internet research), the most plausible meaning is a coastal oceanic mammal, like a dugong or seal. Narwhal, badger, and unicorn seem extremely unlikely and porpoise slightly less unlikely.
Some *possible* symbolism in the materials of the Tabernacle:
Gold and white linen = purity/righteousness
Silver = blood/atonement/redemption
Bronze = judgment/repentance
Wood = Living flesh, aka man
The Cherubim on the Ark of the Covenant are two witnesses and probably represent the Cherubim in God's throne room.
Rav Tachuma said the acacia trees for the wood were planted in Egypt by Jacob and harvested by Moses at the Exodus. Probably not literally true, but consider that Israel is also a Tabernacle planted by Jacob and harvested by Moses at the Exodus.
