The morning
Manna will be provided at 6am. Thanks. Studying
Genesis in the SSnet.org series Lesson 9, may the Holy Spirit be the speaker to
your heart. The Topic today
is: "Jacob's Ladder". The Opening
Hymn will be 229 "Spirit of the Living God" The Sabbath
School Quarterly, downloadable from SSnet.org in the Teacher's Edition is on
page 113 and for the laymen edition or Standard Edition, on page 74. The SSnet.org
site allows anyone, anywhere to read the lesson in their own language. Choose
your own language to see God speaking also to your heart. ---Dr. Doukhan
focused on the word natsav which is set up and could further indicate that God
and the ladder is the same. ---it is a
contrast to Babel where humans want to go up to God but here God is coming to a
human. ---The stone is
meant to indicate parts of a sanctuary, temple or some concrete part of it here
on earth. ---Then Jacob
gave a tithe of his income to God as a thank-offering. As it is with
Jewish Rabbis so it is with the Jewish-Adventist dr. Doukhan: sometimes too
creative beyond and above the text. Para-textual. But it is cute.
