28)  "Am I a God near at hand," says the LORD, "And not a God far off?" Can anyone
        hide himself in secret places, So that I shall not see him," Says the LORD; "Do I
        not fill the heaven and the earth?" Says the LORD. Jeremiah 23:23-24 

29)  "My covenant was with him, one of life and peace, And I gave them to him that
        he might fear Me; So he feared Me, and was reverent before My name.  The
        law of the truth was in his mouth, And injustice was not found on his lips.  He
        walked before Me in peace and equity, And turned many away from inequity.
        For the lips of a priest should seek the law from his mouth; and he is the 
        messenger of the LORD of hosts.  Malachi 2:5-7

Anaya and Ann Foster - Thanx - Nationalism Exposed By Me Alone Here

In 1897 Theodr HERZL created the Zionist Movement, but his great work helped create the State of Israel in 1948. Where is the State of Zion? Perhaps he meant the Israelist Movement rather than Zionist?

Long before USA and revisionism were born, the Prophet Nehemiah - in exile with The Chosen people in Persia - dreamed and worked for RETURN to, and REBUILDING of, the Walls of the TEMPLE in Zion:

"The King [of Iran/Persia] said to me, 'What is it you want?' Then I prayed to the God of heaven, and I answered the King, "if it pleases the king and if your servant has found favour in his sight, let him send me to the city in JUDAH where my ancestors are buried so that I can rebuild it."

Premium Member Days of Atonement

G’mar chatima tova.
Forgive me if I stumble 
across the unfamiliar words.

We are not so different.
Each strives to do more good 
than bad; at least to do no harm.

We pause for prayer and reflection,
aspire to be more caring, more giving;
make amends and atone for misdeeds.

So I pray for you my friend.
As the shofar sounds the end, may your
name be sealed in the Book of Life.


The New Books of the Old Testament

The genuisness exited
Leave it cuz
Numbers don't add
Due to no money
Joshing you
Judges raise the roof
Two Sams are kinged not knighted
Our chronicles erased
Nah me high
East of here is the job
Palms are crossed
Always liked verbs
Eccles cakes are tasted
The solo man sings
I say aaaaah
Germs of my laments
Easy Kel
Dan as a joke hoses Ella
Almost done
Oh my bad ha
Ya know he is makin a mistake
Nah i'm hungry
Have a look in the kitchen
Zip nada
Hoagie in the mech chariot
Me i am the guy that lies

Premium Member The Old Testament

It was apostolic tradition that the Church discerned writings
To be included in the list of Sacred Books
This complete list is called the canon Scripture
It includes 46 books for the Old Testament
45 if we account Jeremiah and Lamentations as one

The Old Testament is dispensable part of Sacred Scripture
Its books are divinely inspired and
Retain a permanent value
For the Old Covenant has never been revoked
Indeed
The economy of the Old Testament was deliberately so oriented
That it should prepare for and declare in prophecy in the coming of Father Christ
Redeemer of all men
Even though they contain matters imperfect and provisional
The books of the Old Testament
Bear witness to the divine pedagogy of Eternal God’s saving love
These writings are a storehouse of sublime teaching of Eternal God and
Of sound wisdom on human life
As well as a wonderful treasury of prayers
In them
Too
The mystery of our salvation is present in a hidden way


Christians venerate the Old Testament as true Word of Eternal God
The Church has always vigorously opposed
The idea of rejecting the Old Testament
Under the pretext that the New
Has rendered it void (Marcionism.
