-Deborah:.Deborah,
means 'a bee'. Jabin, the king of Hazor
at the time, had for twenty years held Israel in degrading subjection.
The spirit of patriotism seemed crushed out of the nation. In this emergency
Deborah roused the people from their lethargy. Her fame spread far and
wide. She became a."mother
in Israel".(Judges
4:6).and."the
children of Israel came up to her for judgment".as
she sat in her tent under the palm tree."between
Ramah and Bethel".
Preparations were everywhere
made by her direction for the great effort to throw off the yoke of bondage.
She summoned Barak from Kadesh.(the
story).to
take the command of 10,000 men of Zebulun and Naphtali and lead
them to Mount Tabor on the plain of Esdraelon at its north east end. With
his aid she organized this army. She gave the signal for attack and the
Hebrew host rushed down impetuously upon the army of Jabin, which was commanded
by Sisera and gained a great and decisive victory. The Canaanitish army
almost wholly perished. That was a great and ever memorable day in Israel.
This was the first great victory Israel had gained since the days of Joshua.
They never needed to fight another battle with the Canaanites:.Judges
5:31.
In Judges
5:1-31 is given the grand triumphal ode, the "song of Deborah and Barak",
which she wrote in grateful commemoration of that great deliverance.
Anna,
Huldah
and Miriam are the only others who
bear the title of 'prophetess'.(a
speaker who prophesies).
Deborah was one of the judges
in ancient Israel:.Judges
4:4,5.
There were other
prophetesses too.
-Divination:.from.Easton's
Bible Dictionary: Divination
is of false prophets.(Deuteronomy
18:10,14; Micah 3:6,7,11).and
of.necromancers.(Deuteronomy
18:11.{a
necromancer is 'one who interrogates
the dead', as some modern day psychics
do}). On false
prophets.
The word divination literally
means 'with the view of discovering the secrets of futurity'.(the
future):.1Samuel
28:7,8.
Ancient Philistine
priests and diviners.(1Samuel
6:2), were an outcrop
of Balaam:.Joshua
13:22. Like in all things, there is a true and an erroneous
side, such as in the beginning of
living organisms on Earth.
2Corinthians
11:3 "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through
his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that
is in Christ."
Three kinds of divination
are mentioned in Ezekiel 21:21,
as used by the king of Babylon.
They were by arrows, consulting with images.(the
teraphim).and
by examining the entrails.(internal
organs).of
animals sacrificed. The practice of this art seems to have been encouraged
in ancient Egypt.
Dark side workings can easily
infiltrate.the
low consciousness mind and be given opportunity by such things as the
ancients were into. The.diviners
and necromancers.(above),
were the.observers
of times.(1,
2,
3),.astrologers/stargazers/monthly
pronosticators.(1,
2,
3,
4),
charmers.(Easton's
Bible Dictionary:."the
word 'charmer' means a dealer in spells,
especially one who, by binding certain knots, was supposed thereby to bind
a curse or a blessing on its object":.Deuteronomy
18:10,11),.enchanters.(1,
2,
3),
witches/witchcraft.(1,
2,
3,
4),
soothsayers.(*),.sorcerers.(*),
magic/magicians.(*),
dreamers.(some
dreams have the true God involved; one has to learn to discern; if
it;s not of love, reject it, no matter how good it may appear to be at
the first),.consulters
with familiar spirits.(*),
wizards.(*),.psychics.(*)
and
those using.idols.(1,
2,.images,.arrows
and.livers
for
guidance.(*),
worshipping at.groves.(*).and
those.cults.(*).with
their philosophies
aimed at mind control, even today. Look on the Internet for mkUltra, used
on the children and others kept in the DUMBS
and tunnels. To protect yourself from any and all evil entities, one
can use what Gene Decode uses, a
special invocation.
Such were those of the Pharisees,
Sadducces. Champion
anything for money.(Numbers
22:17), even if it deceives
and leads astray
the seeker of guidance, was the thinking of many back then.
Included with all these
evil strange customs and practices.(Leviticus
19:27,28), which are.witchcraft.workings.(such
as did the dark side ones in their putting
curses on others).and
those who cause their sons to.pass
through the fire in.blood
rituals of Satan.(Joshua
15:8; Psalms 106:37,38;
2Kings
23:10; 2Chronicles 28:3).at
certain
times of the year and those using.black
magic.(*).and
being into.enchantments.(1,
2,
3),
much the same as the deep state.(also
called 'cabal');
see the Fall
of the Cabal series and its sequels).pedophiles
have done today.
Stupid.customs
such as these included.sacrificing
children.(Psalms
106:37,38; 2Kings 16:3,4;
17:31;
Isaiah
57:5; Jeremiah 7:31; Ezekiel
23:39).and
are not only horrendous.practices
but are completely spiritually unprofitable, a waste of time and are depreciations
of hope. But they
continue today
amongst satanists as evidenced in the documentary and its sequels.End
of the World As We Know It.
A low consciousness mind
can't see this, instead feeling, that for them, it's the 'right thing'
to do:.Jeremiah
2:11; Zechariah 10:2;
Proverbs
14:12.
These sort of things bring
out of the mass mind information
according to what one is in life. One's decisions in life make him or her
what they appear to be.
But
what about the sacrifices and offerings.God
wanted.the
people to do in the Old Testament?
This woman.(Acts
16:16-18), though
what she was saying was correct, was saying it in a manner
which proved to be annoying.
So it was not good, meaning, not of love. And there was a harassing
evil spirit behind it all as there also was behind the stupid practices
some allowed themselves to be sucked into, since the beginning of humanity
on Earth:.Deuteronomy
32:17;
Psalms 106:35-39.
Diviners also abounded among
the aborigines
of Canaan and the
Philistines:.Isaiah
2:6;
1Samuel 28th chapter.
And we have modern day ones
with updated approaches.
At a later period multitudes
of magicians poured from Chaldea
and Arabia into the land of
Israel
and pursued their occupations, such as consulting the dead:.Isaiah
8:19;
2Kings 21:6; 2Chronicles
33:6.
This superstition
widely spread and in the time of the apostles there were."vagabond
Jews, exorcists".(Acts
19:13).and
men like Simon Magus.(Acts
8:9), Bar-Emmanuel.(Acts
13:6-8).and
other jugglers and impostors:.Acts
19:19. Every species and degree of this superstition was strictly forbidden
by the ancient
law of Moses:.Exodus
22:18;
Leviticus 19:26,31;
20:27;
Deuteronomy
18:10,11.
But beyond these various
forms of superstition, there are instances of divination
on record in the Scriptures by which Creator-God was pleased to make known
his will. This system of selection is what's known as 'lots'.
1) There was divination by.lot,
by which, when resorted
to in matters of moment and with solemnity,
the Creator intimated
his will:.Joshua
7:13.
The land
of Canaan was divided by lot:.Numbers
26:55,56; Achan's guilt was detected.(Joshua
7:16-19), Saul was elected king:.1Samuel
10:20,21 and Matthias chosen to the apostleship, by the lot:.Acts
1:26.
It was thus
also that the ancient scapegoat was determined:.Leviticus
16:8-10. The scapegoat was an annual means for man to experience relief
from the guilt he experienced under the Old Testament law.
The Creator never wanted
man to feel guilty once they were willing to change, yet many churches
today preach a small gospel
exclusive of the freedom God wants us to experience and some feel they,
like Israel of the Old Testament, are the only
ones God is truly using. The Creator is much
bigger in outlook than that.
2) There was divination.(foretelling
events).by
dreams:.Genesis
20:6;
Deuteronomy 13:1,3;
Judges
7:13,15; Matthew 1:20; 2:12,13,19,22.
This is illustrated in the
history of Joseph:.Genesis
40:8; 41:15,16,25,28..
Also in Daniel's history:.Daniel
2:27,28; 4:19-28.
God sometimes speaks in
dreams, but never regarding negativity
to you, only information to help, guide and protect:.Genesis
20:3; 31:11; 40:8;
41:25;
1Kings
3:5; Ecclesiastes 5:3,7;
Daniel
2:27,28; Matthew 1:20; 2:12,13,19,22;
27:19;
Acts
2:17;
It's God who gives one interpretation
of dreams:.Daniel
1:17; 2:28.
Some dreams are just from
you:.Job
33:14-18; Jeremiah 27:9.
3) By divine appointment
there was also divination by the Urim
and Thummim.(Numbers
27:21).and
by the ephod.
4) God was pleased sometimes
to vouchsafe
direct vocal communications to men:.Deuteronomy
34:10; Exodus 3:4; 4:3;
Deuteronomy
4:14,15; 1Kings 19:12. He
also communed with men from above the mercy
seat.(Exodus
25:22).and
at the door of the tabernacle:.Exodus
29:42,43.
5) Through his prophets
God revealed Himself and gave
intimations
of His will:.2Kings
13:17; Jeremiah 51:63,64.
6) Jacob's wacky
idea.seems.akin
to.divination.
7) Today we have other ways
than that of ancient peoples in determining
Creator-God's mind:
...intuition
...clairvoyance
...meditation
to see what wells up to the mind
...guidance
is in those of a higher
consciousness
...Ask
Suby to get one on the road
to higher consciousness
...talk
to others whom you feel are able to help
But why do we need God's
guidance? We need it to become good, to come out.(*).of
the low consciousness ego level
from which all problems of humanity come from:.Psalms
37:23 "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord and he delights
in his way.".or
as the.Jewish
Translation.of
the Old
Testament has it:."It
is of the Lord that a man's goings are established and He delights in his
way."
If you are not delighting
daily in the way your daily life is going, then you need the guidance of
the Creator. Here one has
to listen, for what good is guidance if you don't act upon it. But
without being sure God is in your life, you'll second guess yourself. So,
first one must be sure that God is real
and next, that God has been a part of you right from the start of humanity.(2Timothy
1:9) and from
your start here in the physical life on Earth.
