THE WORSHIPFUL MASTER: SQUARELY ROOTED by e.graham
For the learnt man and woman, in the biblical drama, Galilee means “Circle,” which to the ancient Hebrews is an invisible boundary that served as a line of separation between the heavens and the earth.
Surprisingly, Galilee was also the place where the one known
as “Jesus” performed 33 great miracles and the place, where 11 of
12 of his apprentices came from.
Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Christ, in fact, was the only
disciple, more specifically of THE TWELVE apostles (Luke 9:1) that came from
outside of HIS “inner” circle.
This Roman province of Palestine, which was inhabited by a
“mixed race of Jews” and heathens, for this reason, was known as the “Galilee
of Gentiles,” and the “HEADQUARTERS” of the Son of Man’s ministry, which 19 of
his 32 parables were spoken.
The population of the HOLY LAND, which was the focal point
of the three Abrahamic faiths: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam was so mixed
that (SOL-OM-ON) without shame awarded HIRAM, King of Tyre (, meaning Rock) 200
cities in payment for timber from Lebanon to build his Temple there.
But, after the conquest of Assyria, Galilee was repopulated
by a colony of heathen immigrants (2King 15:29, 17:24). Thus, their accents and
dialect became very distinct (Matt 26:64,73). So, for this reason, and others,
the “so-called” pure-blooded Jews of Judea, who were more orthodox in
tradition, despised them. (John 7:52). And, due to their distinct accent, the
Galileans were easily recognized when they spoke.
For, in the New Testament, Christ is the Rock from whom the
Spirit of life flows (John 4:13-14); ( 1 Cor.10:4) the foundation of the church
(Matt.16:18) and its cornerstone. (Eph.2:20).
The COCKCROWING, on the other hand, was a period of time
between midnight and three o’clock in the morning, which reflects the Roman
custom of dividing the night into four watches: late, midnight, cockcrowing,
and early, while the Israelites practice divided the night into three watches.
But how ironic it is- that the one who denied “Jesus” most
vehemently in His hour of suffering ends up being the first person to witness
His resurrection?
Peter’s denial, however, leads us to Christ’s first miracle of turning 120 to 180 gallons of water into wine, which occurred on the Third Day at a wedding in a village of Galilee named Cena. (The significance of the # 120 to 180 should mean something to mathematicians. Why? Because, according to (Luke 4:21)-For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything HIDDEN that will not be known and come to light.)
So, let me continue to SHINE some more LIGHT…
The term REED also is a papyrus symbol, HIEROGLYPH on the
pyramid wall, which reveals itself as a pen, as well as, a gigantic piece of
grass that grows along the BANKS of the Nile River, in Egypt, KMT, “the land of
the Blacks,” where the pyramids and the Sphinx, are located. Plus, it is known
as a walking stick or CANE for long travel.
Therefore, take your walking stick or cane and WALK WITH ME
on a pilgrimage, which is a journey to a sacred shrine, especially of the
worshipers of the Lord, who went up to the temple in Jerusalem for the special
feast (Ps 84:5; 119:54) in order to learn about a NOBLEMAN, which literally
means PRINCE, royal officer, one in service of the KING, who came from the city
of Capernaum that was EN-CIRCLED by a cluster of villages, ……THAT WALKED (40)
miles ROUND TRIP-a two-day trek by foot in the hot desert SUN to have his son,
who was near death to be HEALED by the WORSHIPFUL MASTER after hearing about
his ability to heal the sick, bring sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf,
and RAISE THE DEAD. For, those in the know, symbolically, the number 40 or 4
means (cross or square).
The NOBLE MAN came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying, “ Lord have MERCY on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely, for he often falls into the fire and often in the water. So I brought him to Your disciples but they could not cure him. (Matt 17:14-)
Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse
generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I BEAR with you? Bring
him here to Me.” And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him and the
child was cured from that very hour. Then the disciples came to Jesus privately
and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” So Jesus said to them, “Because of
your unbelief. For assuredly, I say to you, if you have FAITH as a mustard
seed, (which referred to the Evergreen, Mulberry, or Sycamore Tree, which
Zacchaeus climbed to gain a better view of the SON OF MAN (Luke 19:4) you will
l say to this mountain (Roman Government), “Move from here to there, and it
will move, and nothing will be impossible for you. However, this kind does not
go out except by praying and fasting.
With that said, in this time of “JACOB’S TROUBLE,” STAY
ROOTED.
