Tents of Judah

amos4:4-13 come to bethel(house of GOD), and transgress, at gilgal(circle, role) multiply your transgresions and bring your sacrifices every morning and your tithes every three years. and offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven and proclaim and publish the free offerings: for this is like you, o ye children of israel, saith the LORD GOD.

very nicely done, tss. Very Happy

Where should we take it from here? Hhmmmm.......

I've been reading acts (all sorts of new things popping up) and found this of interest;

Act 2:5 ¶ And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

This muddies the waters a bit, because Jews could also be........

Act 2:8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
Act 2:9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
Act 2:10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
Act 2:11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

Just as Paul was also a Roman.

The scriptures say that the tents of Judah would be saved first, right? So what does Peter say..

Act 3:12 And when Peter saw [it], he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?
Act 3:25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
Act 3:26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

And Paul

Act 26:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, **and [then] to the Gentiles,** that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

Act 13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

I'm kinda seeing the tents of Judah as being the Jews. In every case, the first place Paul went when going into various cities was the synagogue. There were Jews and synagogues in all the nations.

Of interest is the story of Cornelius, showing that Gentiles had repented and been baptized by John's baptism. To me this shows the way being prepared, so that when Peter is called to Cornelius they are ready to receive the Holy Spirit. Many Gentiles could fall into this category and into "a preparation day".

I'm thinking this vision of Peter's in 41AD (???) may hold more spiritual significance than the physical destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD

hey check out the blessing of dan by jacob/israel...

gen49:16-18 dan shall judge his people as one of the tribes of israel. dan shall be a serpent by the wa, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward. i have waited for THY salvation o LORD.

like the seed of the serpent biting the heel of the seed of eve...remember dan is not among the 12 tribs in rev 7...

and HE spake a parable unto them to this end, that man ought always to pray, and not to faint. saying, there was in a city a judge, which feared not GOD, neither regarded man: and there was a widow in the city, and she came unto him, saying, avenge me of mine adversary. and he would not for a while, but afterward he said within himself, though i fear not GOD, nor regard man, yet because this widow troubleth me, i will avennge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

and the LORD said, hear what the unjust judge saith.lk.18:1=6

Hi nobby, not that I'm aware of. Is it a problem leaving it open? Does it have an expiry date ?

tss, I reread the horse thread. What specific connection are you seeing between Dan and that thread? My husband thinks I can read his mind too. LOL! Wink

I have some hypothetical theories concerning Dan being hidden. I also have some thoughts on who the black horses are, but you first. It's time you spilled your guts. Wink

thanks nobby...

mojo,
i posted this in my thread in the rev forum, but it is mysterious in that only one yoke was slain and feed to the people. out of twelve. which one?...
1 kings19:19-21 so he departed thence, and found elisha the son of shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelveth: and elijah, passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. and he left the oxen, and ran after elijah, and said, let me, i pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then i will follow thee.
and he said unto him, go back again: for what have i to do with thee? and he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat.

then he arose, and went after elijah, and ministered unto him.

Yes, I read this in the Rev thread and wondered what you were getting at. It's not coming to me. Twelve **yoke** of oxen would be twenty-four oxen, wouldn't it - two to a yoke. That means two slain??

Yoked means not free - yoked under the law, I would imagine. Paul refers to himself as an ox not muzzled. Not getting the connection with the baskets of bread, though. What do you see?

remember the 24 thread?...

oh yeah...the way it(1kings) applies in the rev forum is different then here...i have been trying to find what tribe elisha was from, but haven't as of yet....do you know?...

MoJo · Posted: Thu Nov 23, 2006 8:53 pm Post subject:

On very quick glance, it looks like he might be descended from one of David's sons, but need to look closer. His father's name was Shaphat.
