Most everyone knows about David's six (or 7) brothers, but his two sisters, Abigail and Zeruiah, are mentioned only briefly in 1Chronicles 2:16. We read about his marriage to Abigail w/o realizing how he already had a sister named Abigail, and how that may be a type or prelude of how the virgin Mary has both a husband and a father both named Joseph.
1Sam16:10 "Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel.
And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these".
1Chr2:12 "And Boaz begat Obed, and Obed begat Jesse, 2:13 And Jesse begat his firstborn Eliab, and Abinadab the second, and Shimma the third, 2:14 Nethaneel the fourth, Raddai the fifth, 2:15 Ozem the sixth, David the seventh:
2:16 Whose sisters were Zeruiah and Abigail. http://cswnet.com/~duxrow/sisters.htm
Abigail and Zeruiah (A-Z) reminds me of the wives of Lamech: Adah & Zillah (A-Z), Gen4:19, and arouses my suspicion of how English might figure here. You think?

We're in the Noah Generation
Generation of Noah!
His was the tenth generation,called "perfect" in Gen6:9 and it was 500 years before his three sons were born, so in effect this peculiar 'Noah Generation' lasted 500 years! Abraham gets the notoriety, but NOAH is the oldest father, before the NEXT generation is born.
Paper and printing press were invented about 500 years ago, so the Bible, the WORD, couldn't have been "published" before then. Right?
Gen5:32 KJV And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Matt24:34 "Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled". (The generation that sees these things!)Ps68:11 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
Esther 1:20 "And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small".But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Lk17:26 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage,until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
So aren't we seeing a type of 'Final Four'..? And isn't the world NOW in the Noah Generation? GLORY!

Allegory of the CUP..
Allegory of the Cup.
It nearly goes unnoticed in Genesis 44 when Joseph ordered that his own silver cup be "planted" in his younger brother Benjamin's sack -- no explanation is given anywhere in the Old Testament concerning why he would want to frame him and have him labeled as a thief. Joseph and Benjamin were full brothers; born of the supposedly barren Rachel who had died giving birth to Benjamin.
In hindsight, their names: Joseph ("the Lord will add a son") and Benjamin ("son of the right hand") are clearly applicable to Jesus who wouldn't be born in Bethlehem for another two thousand years.
The psalms tell us how "my CUP runneth over", Ps23:5, so that we aren't ignorant of figurative "cups", but the allegorical clincher is when Jesus declares in the Garden of Gethsemane: "The CUP which my Father has given me--shall I not drink it"?
GOD gave Jesus the cup, just as Joseph gave the cup to Benjamin! That's the allegory! Now we're chewing on Eagle Food instead of regurgitated buzzard food!
The scripture "He was numbered with the transgressors", Isa53:12 & Mk15:28, reminds us that Benjamin wasn't really a thief (the cup had been PLANTED in his sack, and he wasn't involved in the bloody coat event) and of how Jesus was different from those he was crucified with... Joseph didn't reveal himself to his brothers on their first visit, but he told them they must surely have the little brother Benjamin with them when they returned. Likewise, the Jews didn't recognize their King, and if you don't have Jesus in your heart when He returns, you won't be going with Him!
Extra Credit: The Chinese bamboo tree does absolutely nothing--or so it seems--for the first four years. Then suddenly, sometime during the fifth year, it shoots up as much as ninety feet high!

The Most Amazing Number!
The Most Amazing Numbers..
You don't have to know Greek or Hebrew or advanced mathematics.
Just count the 4 that lead to David: Boaz, Obed, Jesse, David
Then count the 4 leading to Jesus: Jacob, Joseph, Mary, Jesus
Then consider the 4 prior to the Ark's leaving: Enoch-II, Methuselah, Lamech-II, Noah
Enoch is the 7th generation and Lamech is the 9th. Wouldn't it be more than a coincidence if Jesus-the-WORD is all 66 books of the Bible, and the second Jacob is the 63rd?

More than 44?
Edited 11/23/12 ..
The USA won't be having a 45th President if the Bible agenda has been laid out
the way I see it. Noah's Ark was carried away after the names of Enoch2, Methuselah, Lamech2, Noah -- same pattern as in Bush41, Clinton, Bush43, and Obama.
The 44th Book of the Bible is "The ACTS of the Apostles" which many have noted that it lacks a specific ending, and may symbolically be continuing with updates on the works of the Holy Spirit, even unto this 21st Century!
The Old Testament number 22 has special emphasis in the Old Testament; not just the acrostic poetry with number of letters in the Hebrew alphabet, but also the Generation of Jacob, and especially the number of Kings in the dynasty of David.
Double numbers as multiple of eleven are found throughout scripture; not
just the 33 generations to David, or the 66 books from Genesis to Revelation,
and the 'doubled' itself leads to our expectation that the 22 of the
OT leads surreptitiously to the 44 of the NT.
Read "The Harbinger" by Jonathan Cahn, ca 2011, for how the USA is a type of the (New) Promised Land linking George Washington's first inauguration with the dedication of the Temple of Solomon. Also "The Light and the Glory" by Peter Marshall, for an understanding of how Columbus believed he was on a mission on behalf of the Holy Spirit.
Genesis 41:32 "And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because
the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass".
Isa61:7 "For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall
rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double:
everlasting joy shall be unto them".
Just because Elisha did twice the miracles of Elijah may be an innuendo
leading to the comparison of the 22 Kings of David's line with the 44 Presidents of the USA! Now that Obama has been elected to a 2nd term,
we'll have four more years to test whether this theory stands, or not!
Counting the kings is not as easy as it sounds -- do we count the first three who
reigned over all 12 Tribes; and what about Saul who wasn't of the Tribe of Judah?
Daniel 6:2 KJV "And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage". (The word 'presidents' probably won't be found in other versions of the Bible..)

Dietary Vision
Bacon w your Eggs?
Life-changing Experiences:
For Paul it was on the Road to Damascus, and for Peter on a housetop in Joppa where 3 men came to lead him to Cornelius; like the 3 men as one Lord came to Abraham and Sarah (Gen18) to tell them Sarah would be having a baby!Peter had been a devout Jew who observed the dietary laws, but the Great Sheet Vision allowed him to eat with Gentiles, and perhaps have bacon & eggs for the first time!Noah somehow knew to tell the difference between the clean and unclean animals going into the Ark, and now Peter's visit to Cornelius, Acts10:9, led to the beginning of the Times of the Gentiles. So GOD knew about the Jews and the Gentiles right from the get-go!

Rape or Incest ?
RAPE -- INCEST
Horrific subject, eh? As bad or worse than 'abortion'? Did we think this subject was SIMPLE?
Rolls trippingly off the tongue, but involves high priced lawyers, and some doctors as well. Gets us to thinking of forcible and statutory, of consensual and enticing, because all rape or incest is not the same, and the topic means different things to people, based on their personal knowledge and experience.
The baby is not at fault in any way, in the he said/she said dispute, but the baby will suffer by being unwanted, if indeed the baby is allowed to live.
The parents will suffer by having their lives disrupted by the unwanted baby. Oops! Maybe shouldn't have done that!
Allowing abortion in case of rape/incest provides a loop-hole for anyone who has decided against having the baby; not even to offer for adoption.
The lawyers and doctors may have a hay-day! The Rapist may actually serve jail time, or be let off the hook to do it again!
King David had a son who raped his own sister, 2Sam13, so this crime has been around for a long time, and always with contention. Amnon had raped Tamar in despicable manner, followed by his own execution at the hands of his brother Absalom, in a manner suggestive of Italian Mafia Style. In years past it led to 'shotgun weddings' when the father of the girl collared the boyfriend after it was discovered she was pregnant.
Even before that, in Gen34, it happened to the sister of the twelve sons of Jacob, and possibly could have been settled amicably (when the boy wanted to marry her), except that two of her brothers were outraged and so bent on avenging their sister that they murdered an entire town!
Now that the Bible has been excluded from our schools and government, this present generation has faith only for Society and their own ability to see them through difficult times. We have all sorts of 'Religious Institutions', and a few who still follow the Scripture, but unless the coming generation is somehow given the Truth of God's Word, it will all be going up in smoke, very shortly. 2Pet3:10.
