TorahThought provoking lessons and questions regarding Torah. I really enjoy reading my Stone Edition Chumash, the Rabbinical commentaries are really interesting since they are hundreds or thousands of years old! They really give you a different perspective on the meaning of scripture. There is a chart that is really groovy, it's called "Chronology / Time Line — Adam to Jacob". When you read the Bible it's easy to link of it as linear... this happened and then this happened. This chart gives you more of an idea of time and who is alive and when. For example, Abraham and Noah must of known each other since Abraham was 58 years old when Noah died. Interesting to note, that both Abraham and Noah were 'alive' when the Tower of Babel was built and the people were dispersed. As I was looking at the chart, there was one thing that really caught my eye. Abraham was born one-thousand, nine-hundred and forty eight years after creation, that would be the year 1948 after creation. Israel became a nation in the year 1948! After the Messiah's death and resurrection, of course. What does it mean? Well, let me tell you... I have no idea! I just thought it was really interesting. You may ask "When did he die?" Abraham died in 2123 at 175 years old. You can read at Chabad.org more about Abraham's Early Life. I was listening to a teaching from the Lion and Lamb Ministries and Monte Judah said something about Abraham that caught my attention. He said that Abraham was a symbol for the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and by this he meant: Abraham (then Abram) was promised that he was going to be the father of many nations, (this represents the Father). He was promised a son (this represents the Son) and he was given a new name, Abraham (this represents the Holy Spirit). |
