I found some interesting "parallels" to "stopping the world" and becoming aware of fliers in the Old Testament.
I will cut it down to a bare minimum and just say that the verses are in order and come from the books of Genesis and Numbers.
And the Lord said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy fathers house, unto a land that I will show thee:....
And Abram passed through the land into a place of Sichem (the neck between the shoulders) unto the plain of Moreh (teacher, teaching, early rain). And the Canaanite was in the land.
And I will give to thee and to thy seed after thee the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan...
And the Lord spake unto Moses saying, send thou men that they may search the land of Canaan which I give unto the children of Israel....
When the men come back, they describe the land as flowing with milk and honey and hving bunches of grapes that it took two men to carry.
The only problem was that the inhabitants were Giants.
Caleb (Attack, Dog), one of the men said .."Let us go up and possess it (The land) for we are well able to overcome it". But the rest of the men who went with him said: "We are not able to go up against the people for they are stronger than we...And..."And there we saw giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in there sight."
To leave all you know to go somewhere you have never seen
and then to get there and find out someone or something already inhabits that place.
Caleb is a warrior. He knows that this place is his by right. He is ready to take it.
The others see themselves as grasshoppers. And so the giants also do.
If they saw themselves as Caleb saw himself so would the giants.
Inside of US lives the grasshoppers, and the attack dog!!!
Also living inside of us are the Giants!!!
But, most importantly, the land that is promised to Abraham's (belief in the unseen) seed (Christ) also lives inside of us.
"The greatest warriors are those that fight because it must be fought".
Yes, and once you get a glimse of the promised land there is no going back to Ixtlan. Once you find the inhabitants in the Land you have to get rid of them.Bright Flame
