Hello, John and Doves,
I thought of the following passage of Holy Scripture,
when I considered the bees in Joan's letter.
_______________________________________
8Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me once more: “Go, take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”
9So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but ‘in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.’a ” 10I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour. 11Then I was told, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.”
These are four verses, perhaps representing the Jewish years starting at Rosh Hashanah of the years, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011.Consider that the Jewish year begun at Rosh Hashanah 2012 is not yet over.This passage is just before chapter 11, which discusses the 3rd temple.~Blessings,Mike__________________________________________________________________Joan (21 March 2013)
"Bees"
I had an unusual experience today in my home. I discovered dozens of bees in my kitchen buzzing around inside one of the kitchen windows. I could not see where they were coming in. I went outside and discovered they were coming down the vent over the stove and coming in through a small opening in the vent screen. My husband came home from work and took care of the problem.
Later for the fun of it, I looked up the Biblical symbolism of bees and found differing ideas. Does anyone here have any input on this?
