A Little Space Of Grace

Ezra 9:8    KJV
And now for a little space grace hath
been shewed from the LORD our God,
to leave us a remnant to escape, and
to give us a nail in his holy place, that
our God may lighten our eyes, and give
us a little reviving in our bondage.
There are 18 Hebrew words listed in Strongs
for Ezra 9:8. I liked the phrase, 'little space
grace' and it was unique in the KJV.

Twins Entwined

I am fascinated and drawn to the complexity hidden
inside the meanings of names and their family of
origin's relationships.

There are two sets of twins that have been used as
examples in the Old Testament.

1.) Isaac & Rebekah had twins: Esau and Jacob

Genesis 25:25    KJV
And the first came out red, all over like
an hairy garment; and they called his
name Esau. [v26] And after that came
his brother out, and his hand took hold
on Esau's heel; and his name was called
Jacob: and Isaac [was] threescore (60)
years old when she bare them.

Esau was first, all red, earthy, natural, hairy, murderous
Jacob was second, fallen-flaw for grabbing, liar, deal-maker

Romans 9:13    NASB
Just as it is written,
"Jacob I loved,
But, Esau I hated."

Jacob had fallen-flaws of character seeking to find any
shortcut to come in first place. He worked to marry two
wives with their two servant handmaidens, fathered
twelve children and had a career troubled in his work
with employment to his mother's brother (his uncle)
where his compensation package was cheated him
ten (10) times.

2.) Judah & Tamar had twins: Pharez and Zarah
[ref: Genesis 38:27]

(a) Pharez = Strongs H6557 - Perez = breach; twin brother of
Zerah; son of Judah & Tamar; descendants called Pharzites;
a dispersion (of enemies, or slaughter); an irruption, invasion,
violence, a diffusion (of water)
and
(b) Zerah = Strongs H2226 - Zerach = rising, twin brother of
Pharez; son of Judah & Tamar; descendants called Zarhites;

Genesis 38:29-30
And it came to pass, as he (Zerah) drew back
his hand, that, behold, his brother came out:
and she said, 'How hast thou broken forth?
[this] breach [be] upon thee': therefore, his
name was called Pharez. [v30] And afterward
came out his brother, that had the scarlet
thread upon his hand: and his name was
called Zarah.

Twin(s), twined or entwined
Strongs H8380 - Ta'owm = twins - only used as a plural
Strongs H8382 - Ta'am = coupled together, bear twin, doubled

The second born was identified with a scarlet thread that
foreshadowed his symbolic role as the one who will bring
forth light, brightness of resurrection in rising up from the
dead.

Isaiah 60:3
"Nations will come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of
your rising [zerach]."

Adam was the first created Man as a living, breathing soul.
Christ was the second Man who was the source of life-giving
spirit. Jesus Christ breathed on his disciples in the upper
room.

Esau was the first born who was natural, despising birth right.
Jacob became Israel after wrestling against his fallen-fault in
God's love, acceptance and forgiveness.

Pharez broke through his mother's belly breach as first
born for the lineage from Adam to Christ. Zerah was the
promised brightness of rising light in the dawn of His
servant suffering. It is this hidden part we partake in
the rising up into the brightness of Christ's light that
has entwined all of us who are born again into His
new, second abundant life.

1st Corinthians 14:46
Yet that was not first which is spiritual,
but that which is natural; afterwards
that which is spiritual.

what is lust?

1st John 2:16    NASB For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. Lust is not from Above, but from the interactions with our lower nature as a part of the world-travel we all share in living our daily lives. What ways will our lust find to be connected with the world? The verse states our lust begins with the carnal flesh and moves up to the visual, namely what we see, or view. E.B.White quoted in "Removal" (July 1938): (1) I believe television is going to be the test of the modern world, and that in this new opportunity to see beyond the range of our vision we shall discover either a new and unbearable disturbance of the general peace or a saving radiance in the sky. We shall stand or fall by television — of that I am quite sure. (2) Television will enormously enlarge the eye's range, and, like radio, will advertise the Elsewhere. Together with the tabs, the mags, and the movies, it will insist that we forget the primary and the near in favor of the secondary and the remote. LINK: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/E._B._White Edward R. Murrow (April 25, 1908 – April 27, 1965) coined the phrase, "the unblinking eye" of television. I believe the quotations from 1938 and 1950's can equally be applied to the Internet for today. What is our 'inner eye' looking at? How are we focusing our vision? My own definition of lust: Lust is nothing more than desire to possess, capture, retain, retrieve and resonate so as to provide us ownership control for the benefit of ourselves. Matthew 6:22-23    NASB "The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light. [v23] "But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! May our vision be clear, our eye full of light and our whole body filled with the fullness of His Great Love. I hope and pray our inner eye will overcome the lust from our body and eyes.

Elevating Us From Our Fallen Faults

Colosians 2:11, 13-14    NKJV
[11] In Him you were also circumcised
with the circumcision made without hands,
by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh,
by the circumcision of Christ, [13] And you,
being dead in your trespasses and the
uncircumcision of your flesh, He has
made alive together with Him, having
forgiven you all trespasses, [14] having
wiped out the handwriting of requirements
that was against us, which was contrary
to us. And He has taken it out of the way,
having nailed it to the cross.

Marin Transliterations:
[11] Through whom likewise the cut around that circumcised
without hands [has] produced in putting off the bodily wrongs
of carnal flesh-mindedness through anointed cuttings of circumcision,
[13] and indeed, you being dead through your fallen faults by having
your carnally-minded flesh [originally] uncircumcised are now
made alive with him to graciously preserve and restore you into
everything [from] your fallen faults, [14] wiping away the hand
written notes of decrees that were against [all of] us what were
set over against [all of] us even to take away [by] elevating out
from our midst [and] nailing himself same on to the cross.
