The camel and the needle's eye and the word that became flesh

[Geert van den Bos]

I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.[/I]

If you think that words are not about the seven basic anatomical letters (vowels, lip-made, throat-made, nose made, etc.) then see this You Tube:

Every month in the Hebrew calendar is represented by a letter. The letter of Adar is kuf (ק), which means “monkey” (קוף).

In Hebrew, “monkey” (קוף) also means “eye of a needle”; the epitome of the impossible is to thread an elephant through the eye of a needle.

An elephant coming through the eye of a needle alludes to the infinite God who formed a tiny vacuum and passed through it.

God penetrates the vacuum of creation because the entire creation is being recreated at every moment and God’s presence exists here too.

The wonder (פֶּלֶא) of God’s infinite presence in a finite world is as amusing as an elephant (פִּיל) passing through the eye of a needle.

The same counts for the camel, even more since "camel" is the name of the third letter "gimel". (see above)


The wonder (פֶּלֶא):

"The stone rejected by the builders did become head of the corner -
From the Lord (Tetragrammaton present in the initials of "yom hashishi vayçhulu hashamayim" ) and it is wondrous in our eyes - הִיא נִפְלָאת בְּעֵינֵינוּ,

(Mark 12:10-11 after Psalms 118-22-23)

Which intimates that "the needle's eye" is the little opening represnted by the letter "hey" in "hashishi" ...

(the quantitative differnce between "yom shishi" and "yom hashishi" being very small-- 666 versus 671) -- the qualitative difference is a world to come.

That doesn't take away that the camel represents the third letter.

does anyone listen to your nonsense? You can't even get latin and german right, why should anyone think you can get greek, hebrew, or aramaic right?

[Geert van den Bos]

Syriac Bible the camel rendered as rope.

Detoxification is kind of weaning, it is a process, a way. The camel, the ship of the desert, brings you from out of Egyptian slavery into the promised land.

From: "The Wisdom in the Hebrew Alphabet" by Rabbi Munk:

"The camel received its name ("gamal") because it is like a "weaned" child ("gamul") and can go for a ling time without drinking"

[Geert van den Bos]

more nonsense. Just lay off the drugs slyvius.

Mark 4:19,

καὶ αἱ μέριμναι τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ ἡ ἀπάτη τοῦ πλούτου καὶ αἱ περὶ τὰ λοιπὰ ἐπιθυμίαι εἰσπορευόμεναι συμπνίγουσιν τὸν λόγον, καὶ ἄκαρπος γίνεται.

and the cares of life, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things, entering in, choke the word, and it becomes barren.

συμπνίγω = choke

πνίγω is derived from πνέω to breathe, to blow

like πνεῦμα = spirit, wind, breath.

so : συμπνίγω = choke = take away breath.

πνευματικός = spiritual

Solid food is just for the spiritual (1 Corinthians 3:1-3)

"gamal" as a letter is solid food (The letters form the body of the word).

cf. http://www.chabad.org/kabbalah/artic...d-Paradise.htm

Rabbi Akiva said to his students, "When you come to the place of pure marble stones, do not say, 'Water! Water!' lest you place yourselves in danger, for it is said, 'He who speaks untruths shall not stand before My eyes.'

Or, let's play around with words from different languages and act like if it looks similar, the words mean the same ting, even if I don't know what they really mean" That game?

There is so much wrong with his posts it is hard to know where to begin. He just makes up stuff out of whole cloth.

Maybe he's related to mickiel.

Concerning the rich for whom it is less easy to enter the kingdom of God Mark 4:18-19 did say already:

And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

We are ever dwelling on the threshold
