What

[scleroticstatue]

No no, they are correct. The Messiah is both portrayed as a serpent in pre-Christian Israelite religion and recognized by Jesus himself. Satan was also a serpent who pretended to be the Messiah by taking on said serpentine form. Christians didn't recognize the serpent as a symbol of Christ because the Deuteronomists rejected the Messiah and the Tree of Life during the Josiac Reforms and removed both symbols (the Groves and Nehushtan in the book of Kings) from the Temple.

[greenleavesandwarmbreezes]

I've heard the "Jesus has a seraphim form" thing before but uhhhh... seeing Him portrayed as an earthworm and some kind of venomous snake is new.

[scleroticstatue]

Now, now, venomous snakes are different. Those are epheh. The snakes Jesus compares himself to — the seraph is the bronze serpent that Moses put on a pole (that was in the Temple until Josiah removed it) which Jesus compares himself to, which is also called the Nehushtan, which is the same type of snake in the Garden — are spiritual beings that have wings and live forever.

[greenleavesandwarmbreezes]

That ^ is a poisonous snake, I'm pretty sure.

[hamiltonfairchildracingrescue]

In Psalm 22:6, the Messiah prophetically states, "But I am a worm and not a man". This is also connected to the suffering servant in Isaiah 53.

The Hebrew word used for worm is \(tola'ath\), which specifically refers to the crimson or scarlet worm.

When the female scarlet worm is ready to give birth, she adheres herself to a tree or piece of wood. She lays her eggs and secretes a scarlet dye to protect her offspring, staining her body and the wood. As the mother dies, her body dries out and secretes a white, waxy substance that eventually falls to the ground like snow.

So ... an earthworm, but cooler.

LIP, ALLEY, ICE & EM (1/?) ( for @tenmarchtwentyfourteen )

following Lip’s discharge from the Navy, the core four leave Top Gun for a much-needed weekend at the Conrad Ranch in upstate New York, especially, Alley knows, for Lip’s own good.

“Em. How’s Mr. Daniel?”

“Ah, it’s Mr. David, now.

“A Conrad?  Well, good for you, darlin’.  Good for you.”

If you had to brutally narrow it down to just one, who’s your favourite of your original characters?

When I lost my words looking at you, I didn’t you could change what I see,

“Paddy’s asked if we’re gonna try again.  He wants a brother.” “I wanted him to have one.”

change the way I feel; I was far away from me; I wasn’t listening.

I don't want to put the user on blast but I just saw a "you're never too old to start" post about the Artemis II astronauts, and, respectfully, they are astronauts on our first trip back to the moon since Apollo because their entire lives have been building up to it. Christina, the youngest on the crew, wanted to be an astronaut since childhood, has two bachelor's degrees, and has been involved with NASA since 2001, well before she joined as an astronaut. Jeremy joined the Canadian equivalent to Civil Air Patrol at 12 and did his undergrad in space science. Reid started out as a Navy pilot in the late 1990s. Victor went to a public Ivy, has three master's degrees, and became a Navy test pilot 20 years ago. These people's whole lives have been building up to this.

We are not yet at the point in human space travel where you can just up and career change to being a working astronaut* unless you already are very well-established in a closely relevant career (like medicine), or you're part of a specialty program training mission specialists (like Christa McAuliffe was).

*as opposed to a space tourist

Perhaps a better message, if we insist on mining on here, is, "it's normal for people who are experts in their fields to be middle-aged, actually"

Her mouth trembles. “I hate that I know enough now to be frightened by shadows.”

There it is.

Not only old Simeon's prophecy. Not only a mother’s ordinary fear. The years. The hostility gathering around him. The way each new confrontation leaves a residue in her that fever can wake and enlarge into nightmare.

Yeshua says nothing for a moment.

Then:

“You are loved enough to be frightened.”

[x0401x]

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

[x0401x]

Saw a sharp increase in my follower count after posting this. The legitimacy of it is driving me nuts so I also feel the need to say that you can follow anyone on here regardless of whether you’ve interacted with them or not. People like the above mentioned blog are exceptions. Perhaps they themselves think they aren’t and therefore will act like they aren’t, but they are, trust me.

Just follow anyone you wanna follow. The worst thing that can happen is maybe getting soft-blocked by the other person, but if they do soft-block you, then they were never that worth following in the first place.

[starfieldcanvas]

wow. really hope this isn't actually a norm taking hold with new users! this isn't facebook, you don't need to know people before following them

it was momentary

Joseph leans his forehead to hers. “I don't regret you.”

Mary closes her eyes hard.

“I regret,” Joseph says, more fiercely now, “every mouth that has made you doubt me. I regret every time I have let my own worry make me sound like one of them. I regret not being able to build walls high enough to keep the whole cursed town out of our house.” His breath shakes once. “But I do not regret you.”
