I am going to get published.

This has just happened.. I am so excited... Never done this before. There are MJ conspiracies along with insights that might get people to look into the faith further.

Congratulations Visionary!

Curious statement, "MJ conspiracies", care to elaborate just a little?

Wonderful news Vis! Blessings on you, may it bring many to think, reflect and come to know Yeshua!

Shalom Lulav, great to see you here again. Interesting avatar: did you make that? It sure looks like the sundial found at Qumran. :D

Shalom daq :wave:
Yes, I did weave that, but it didn't occur to me about the sundial.

But I did make this one.

Nice! You therefore are probably already aware of the single letter that was found inscribed under the dial right in the center of the underside? There is a letter ayin carved into the underside, right in the center of the dial.

Qumran Sundial - Madain Project (en)

The top design therefore seems to reveal, with a high probability, the form of the most ancient version of the letter ayin, the eye, as also seen in Sinaitic rock inscriptions. This in turn appears that it may also be a hint at some background context for the parable or idiomatic saying in Matthew 7:4-5, for with a gnomon placed into the hole in the center, the eye would have a stick or stake in it. It can also be symbolically viewed as a throne-room with a stake at the center. Note also that the dial even looks like a catch basin for water, (as you know the eye is also likened to a fountain and ein, the very name of the letter, is either an eye or a fountain).

No I was not aware of that, haven't studied on it in quite awhile. Thanks for sharing that, I shall follow your link and ponder it during Shabbat. :)

King David, was he also part of the priesthood... he did partake of the shewbread, which was only reserved for priests?
