During some bible reading, I was studying this passage:
Zechariah 12:2 – “I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem.
What do you think about the word “reeling”? seems an odd word not really used these days.
I think once or twice its used by sports commentators about a team losing at a football match maybe. Look on Wikipedia and it only refers to fishing or the tape canisters used by the film industry.
When I was doing an IT site visit, this is the doors of the cupboard that hold our network kit in. The smaller red one I have shown a closer look below as it has a warning about there are poisonous chemicals in here, which is not the case any more as it was left over from the previous business here.
The Hebrew symbols on the right corner is, pronounced Ral or Reel – so the word reeling I think is talking about poison!!
In fact looking at this passage here: http://bible.cc/zechariah/12-2.htm various bible translations uses words like staggering, trembling and surfeiting (another word I never see used)
In the news, I see plans for another march for people from Arab nations, and most probably helped out by misguided Christians in western countries, thinking they are helping out for ‘peace’ and not really understanding the seriousness of what they are getting into.
From the organiser’s web site, there is a statement from Israel that they would be considered trespassing. http://gm2j.com/main/blog/2012/03/23/israel-warns-of-the-consequences-of-jerusalem-global-march/ Just like any other country, if you force your way through the borders of any other nation without going through the proper protocol of having a passport and required visa etc, they should be treated as a threat and prosecuted.
