Subject: Okay... I'm confused Author: dori [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:21:27 11/08/12 Thu In reply to: Hillbilly 's message, "Gen 49 vss 19-21 Post 221" on 14:27:44 11/04/12 Sun Who are these people who Moses has blessed? Either I've lost track of the story line, or this is setting us up for a new one. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> Subject: Jacob and Moses prophecy Author: Hillbilly [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:32:13 11/08/12 Thu Both Jacob and Moses pronounced a blessing on the direct descendants of Jacob. Jacob's blessings pertained to each individual son but also as the scripture stated he was pronouncing blessings, primarily, for the "last days". Events in the days of the sons foreshadowed events of the end times. Moses could only bless the tribes as descendants of the original sons as all the sons had died out long before Moses pronounced the blessings. His blessings had application to the conquest of the promised land and also as foreshadowing end time events in some cases. Both blessings included "near" events and "far", or last time events. The reason it gets confusing (to me also) is that events that happen to tribes are obscured by not knowing which tribe things are happening to. In order to get a more complete understanding one would have to trace the lineage (not always possible) of the person or persons that were involved in the events. I don't think anyone has a real clear understanding of these prophecies because of the lack of good genealogy down through the ages.

[> [> Subject: Well, that explanation helped... grin Author: dori [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:11:54 11/08/12 Thu Thank you for putting up with me, HB. How are your Mom and Dale doing? I'm assuming they're holding their own, but just wanted you to know I have them in my thoughts and prayers. I think we'd better pray for this country, too, don't you? Sigh... we are a nation of idiots.

[> [> [> Subject: Mom and Dale Author: Hillbilly [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 06:29:27 11/09/12 Fri Mom has improved to the point she can take a few steps with help. She still has little use of her left hand. Her mind is good and her speech is clear. I don't know that she will improve beyond this point. We pray that God will continue to improve her to the point she can walk with a walker or at least get into a wheel chair on her own or with little help. We carried her to my youngest brother's house last Sat. for a belated 90th birthday party and it was a struggle. Dale is on double her prednisone and it is keeping the inflammation down and therefore her fever stays down. I don't know how long she can stay on the high doses of prednisone but for now that is the remedy. We go Thursday to Vanderbilt. Maybe they can come up with something. We're praying and appreciate your prayers. We certainly haven't given up hoping for that miracle.

[> [> [> [> Subject: You know I'm still praying hard for her Author: dori [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:55:25 11/09/12 Fri And that is good news about Mom. I hope she'll continue to gain strength back to be able to help you get her about. I talked to Caren about coming back here--that we miss her--but she said she's not getting online much anymore, so she doesn't know when she'll make it back. Looks like it's back to being just me. Maybe Connie will remember us now that the election is over. *-)
