The title says it all: Tamar tricks Judah into thinking she’s a prostitute, but I pray that any caught in this dirty business would find love and repentance (not to mention endless forgiveness) in Jesus Himself. There’s a red light district in probably every city in the world (though I think the Islamic nations, mostly the people in them, that shame women for showing any skin that doesn’t need to be concealed are more in the wrong), and a red light district means that prostitution is incredibly high there compared to other neighborhoods, and please note: if someone wants to have sex with you in exchange of something that isn’t actually money, that’s prostitution still. Regardless, I pray that the pimps can’t take advantage of them… the cities are super-dirty, but Gilbert’s pretty chill compared to that since there’s not a single strip club in it 😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😇😇😇😇😇🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I pray that the people caught in this would find that God really loves them and it breaks His heart that someone had probably told them they need to be ashamed of themselves when they were little 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I don’t think I can emphasize enough how heartbroken I am for these people because of what shame does to their souls 💔💔💔💔💔 no post can do it justice, actually… (long pause)
But on with this post (though I want to be prayerful for the people mentioned above throughout this entry): this chapter is found in page 23 of my NKJV Bible, pages 29-30 of my NASB Bible, pages 50-51 of my VOICE copy, and pages 49-50 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy. Indeed, Judah has some strange stuff happen to him and two of his sons, and he actually sleeps with his daughter-in-law, Tamar thinking she was someone he didn’t know. I won’t comment on the bizarre stuff here as much as I can say that God can make a purpose through even the most ridiculous circumstances. Hopefully, people are united in Jesus a little more despite the pandemic. I do pray against martial law, though… but if the Bible prophesies that it’ll happen, we’re screwed. Thank God that probably won’t happen for very long, though… and yet, I can see by the Holy Spirit that the great apostasy about conservative takeover (coupled with Calvinism vs. Arminianism imposed on literally every churchgoer ever) is being perfected before our eyes. Once that happens, there’s no stopping it from world domination. The best thing we can do is pray that people all across the earth would be saved because there’s no redeeming human leadership in terms of diplomacy. Take notes, my friends, I hope you read this post; I’d like to see more people get saved because of me… I’m sorry if I’m sounding difficult 😅
But despite the lewd events that happen here, Perez grabs his twin brother out of the womb and he actually happens to be one of Jesus’ ancestors, as written in Matthew 1 and Luke 3:23-38. I’d like to meet people descended from Perez’s brother, though, I pray they are saved, too. I don’t know how many years pass between Joseph’s capture and this, but this must’ve been before they went to Egypt several chapters later (chapter 46). Indeed, this actually connects this book with the rest of the Bible, even the New Testament, to lead the greatest faith in history. I’d love to see my niece again, though, for it’s been several weeks since the party and I miss her badly. The pandemic is making it difficult for me to do anything, really, but I don’t mind being at home a lot until this blows over, if it even happens 😧😩😖 I’m not expecting really any economy to recover, actually… 💸📉⏱⏲🚇🚆💨 we’ll need new things to look forward to. But we can preach the gospel a lot because this is a historic time in which we can get people saved out of this! 😁😁😁😁 (By the way, I don’t plan on using every emoji in this life; I just know I should be careful how I use everything.)
Any prayer requests you want to e-mail me about? Do that in my e-mail: ron.outland4727@gmail.com! I’ll read each one, write them down (if they’re good), then tape them to my bedroom walls! I really should share my Bible note blog website to others if they’re up for it… I did it with a guy at work on his last day there, but I still haven’t seen him, yet I pray he receives Jesus if he hasn’t still. I’ll see you in the next chapter, where I’ll likely get lost in the details 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 l8r!
