...a history of 'song'-ing through the liturgy, arriving at the 'new song, that we are. Ps. 150, Song of Moses, Song of the Red Sea, Magnificat, Psalms as aids to prayer, then Hymns (A Mighty Fortress as Psalm 46, etc.). A recap, as in Deut. before the new way.

Imagine The Image-Nation

The invention of invention--not just serendipity. ERH said that the French did it. I like to be a member of the image-nation, those in the image of God, who imagine. Jon is one of them. http://www.nomorefakenews.com/ Imagine that you are a member of the image-nation!

Imagine The Image-Nation

PS: The aleph-beth, the alpha-beta, the alphabet.

Back Exegete Song Of Angels At Creation. It can be done

Back Exegete Song Of Angels At Creation. It can be done.

Job 38:7. John 14:12

I was just thinking of a multi-generational task of reverse-exegeting to find the song the angels sang at Creation. It would be like the songs in response to events, such as the Song of the Red Sea, or to covenants, such as the Song of Moses. Or the Ascension--Rev. 5:12, 7:12. In a way, many hymns are responses to Bible verses, in the way that 'A Mighty Fortress' is to Psalm 46. More later. Love in King Jesus, Chuck

Deep Exegesis. Psalm 8:5, Hebrews 2:7.

Like reverse engineering.

Mini-JBJ Sermon Effectiveness Maximizer (mini-SEM)

I often do a mini-JBJ Sermon Effectiveness Maneuver that takes the 'theme' of the sermon, and, each day of the week, runs that theme through the periods of Bible history that JBJ mentions in both 'Crisis...', and 'Brief Reader's...'.

Thus Psalms of Ascent:

Garden
Prison
Wilderness
Kingdom
Remanant and Exile
World Witness
Communion with God/Apsotasy

For advance study and application, vocationally, one could do:
Sun
Moon
Mars
Venus (Mercury)
Thor
Mercury (Venus)
Saturn

For the prophets amongst, do this order :
K.O.L (dragvolved)
Sardis
Pergamos
Ephesus
Philadelphia
Thyatira
Smyrna

(This is the 'lining out' order of JBJ's first list, re-retuned in psalmodic response:
1234567 to 4152(3)6 3 (2) 7 to '8'531642.

Be sure to have the duality of theme and vocation together.

Love in King Jesus,

Chuck
PS: For extra points, add a 'B' in the center of the 3rd, and a backwards moY, and pronounce it YUMM!, and one can eat time(s) as Adam breathed in the Breath, to modulate breath out in glorification.
This is 'Monday': A joyous SardsYUMM! to you and all you all, SardisBmoY.

So, with Psalms of Ascent, one would work with the songs in the Bible, in each period, and the mountains, and the ascensions, and one’s vocation – calendars? The shift from one layer of society to another? – and one would certainly grow, I’d think. One would be ascending the har to the mo’ed.

Well...science--two ponts (sic)

Dear Friends:

Re: Who Wins, Who Loses. ( A pont is a happy mis-typing for 'point'. On an audio, JBJ made a statement, I almost typed point, that out time is one of points of knowledge. I prefer 'pont,' as in bridge.)

1--Goldman, in Science Wars, says that science CANNOT have necessary and certain truth. He founded the discipline. http://www.teach12.com/tgc/courses/course_detail.aspx?cid=1235

Science Wars: What Scientist Know and How They Know It.

2--'Science is that arm of the church (arm of the church) in which we are allowed to attempt to find out how much can be learned by treating the universe as dead (universe as dead). (parentheses mine). A paraphrase of ERH.

But the universe is alive.

So to argue 'science' as if it had necessary and certain truth seems counterproductive.

Consider the scientific method (the art form of this layer of civilization, this era) as compared to liturgy, his mother. Newton sees the apple fall, or it hit him. Called. He thinks, 'I don't know how that works, but I can find out' Cleansed. He consults the books of nature and of previous investigation. Consecration. The hypothesis is tested. Communion. The theory is taken out to help. Commission.

Someone once told me: YOU might see that. (paraphrase).

The bigger question is applying a covenant sequence oriented toward the earth beneath, we, made of world by Breath. We have the orientation toward the (name in the) heavens above in liturgy, and toward the (numbers in the) waters under the earth in the scientific method.

Fill in the blanks, and we will have achieved the wonderfulness of tribal life, without perpetual war, peace the explicit reconciliation of opposites.

Love in King Jesus,

Chuck

Plug and Play Solar?

Plug and Play Solar. When will a person be able to order a solar energy array from his local HVAC person and it be price competitive, I wonder?

Respondent: That one's easy: You can already do that in the third world. We are about three years away on that but may have to wait five for the one with the built in battery. The web has emergency units at a reasonable price. The technology is not the problem its the red tape. What your asking for is called plug and play solar. The best Aussies unit is suncube http://www.greenandgoldenergy.com.au/ and there are units selling on conservative web sites in the US http://www.mysolarbackup.com/ The cost is in free fall. That's the point. Subsidies block newer technology by making the obsolete stuff cheaper. There's always a delay getting subsidies applied to something new. by the time Gillard's tax is up and running the price of these things will halve again and the tax and subsidies will be obsolete.

Psalm 144, the fightingest?

Psalm 144, the fightingest? What music goes best with it? I've read at least 3 who state that the Bible, especially Hebrew, is music. Haik-Vantoura, someone who goes with the consonants, and another who says it's the vowels. And more. Secondly, should we sing it ('Is Saul among the prophets?') with the instruments named in Psalm 150? These are serious questions. Thirdly, it might be wise to recapitulate history in the worship service by using the various instruments and methods of music that have been used in the Bible and history -- or maybe not. What instruments are mentioned as being used in Heaven, in Revelation, even if only typologically?
