Craziest Predictions of 2020
What really happened in 2020
No one predicted in the present age of our technological advances we would feel the most isolated, lonely and disconnected we have ever felt in our nation's history. 2020 was a famine, 2020 was a drought, 2020 was a desert Deuteronomy 8:2-3 (NRSV) 2 Remember the long way that the Lord your God has led you… in(to) the (desert), in order to humble you, testing you to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commandments. Deuteronomy 8:3 (NRSV) He humbled you by letting you hunger, then by feeding you with manna, with which neither you nor your ancestors were acquainted, in order to make you understand that one does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. Psalm 107:4-5 (NRSV) Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to an inhabited town; hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them. Psalm 107:6 (NRSV) Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress... Psalm 37:4 (NRSV) Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 107:35-36 (NRSV) 35 He turns a desert into pools of water, a parched land into springs of water. 36 And there he lets the hungry live, and they establish a town to live in... Matthew 4:1 (NRSV) Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the (desert) to be tempted by the devil. Genesis 25:29 (NRSV) Once when Jacob was cooking a stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was famished. Genesis 25:30 (NRSV) Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stuff, for I am famished!” Genesis 25:31 (NRSV) Jacob said, “First sell me your birthright.” Sell: sell, i.e., give possession of an object, entity, or state to another, usually in a quid pro quo exchange (Hebrew Aramaic Lexicon) Birthright: position and right of the first-born (Hebrew Aramaic Lexicon) Genesis 25:23 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) And the Lord said to her,“Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples born of you shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the elder shall serve the younger.” Genesis 25:32 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) Esau said, “I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?” Genesis 25:33-34 (NRSV) Jacob said, “Swear to me first.”[a] So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob. 34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank, and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright. Despise: "look down upon, scorn, disdain, treat with contempt" (Etymoline.com). Hebrews 12:15-16 (NRSV) See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springs up and causes trouble, and through it many become defiled. 16 See to it that no one becomes like Esau, an immoral and godless person, who sold his birthright for a single meal Comments are closed.
