*What year did King Uzziah die? 742 BC
*Jasher is Leah's son
Definitions:
*terebinth-a Mediterranean tree, Pistacia terebinthus, of the cashew family, yielding Chian turpentine.
*Incarnation-incarnation-an incarnate being or form;

*Maher-shal-al-hash-baz-Maher-shalal-hash-baz (Hebrew: מַהֵר שָׁלָל חָשׁ בַּז Mahêršālālḥāšbaz – "Hurry to the spoils!" or "He has made haste to the plunder!" – was the second mentioned prophetic-name child in Isaiah chapter
*3rd heaven-place where God himself dwells. What Jesus called the “Father's house.”
*Oracle- a person (such as a priestess of ancient Greece) through whom a deity is believed to speak; a shrine in which a deity reveals hidden knowledge or the divine purpose through such a person; an answer or decision given by an oracle; a person giving wise or authoritative decisions or opinions; an authoritative or wise expression or answer

*Homogenization-
Diadem a process by which the fat droplets from milk are emulsified and the cream does not separate: "after homogenization and pasteurization, milk travels to one of six storage tanks" 2. the process of making things uniform or similar:
*Spelt (noun): an ancient wheat (Triticum spelta synonym T. aestivum spelta) with long spikelets containing two light red flattened grains; also :the grain of spelt Note: Both the plant and the grain are also called farro.
*Lord God of Hosts-The word LORD, capitalized, refers to Yahweh, the self-existent, redemptive God. The word hosts is a translation of the Hebrew word sabaoth, meaning “armies”—a reference to the angelic armies of heaven. Thus, another way of saying “LORD of hosts” is “God of the armies of heaven.” The NIV translates YHWH saboath as “LORD Almighty.
”This name for God first appears at the close of the period of the judges. In the same sentence as “LORD of hosts” is a reference to Shiloh, where the Ark of the Covenant was kept. The Ark symbolized Yahweh’s rulership, among other things, for He sits enthroned above the cherubim (1 Samuel 4:4; Psalm 99:1). Some have suggested that ”LORD of hosts” reaffirms that God is the true Leader of Israel’s armies, in spite of the low spiritual condition of the nation of Israel at the time of the judges. In 1 Samuel 17:45, as part of his pre-fight verbal sparring with Goliath, David evokes this name of God. In doing so, David was claiming that God is the universal ruler over every force whether in heaven or on earth.

How Many “Fear Nots” are There in the Bible?
“Fear not!” is the most repeated command in the Bible. In fact, it’s been said that there are 365 “Fear nots” in the Bible — one “Fear not” for every day
Are there Really More than 365 Fear Nots in the Bible?
Many people say, “It’s a nice thought to say that there are 365
‘Fear nots’ in the Bible, but it’s not true.” Indeed, there is not a version of the Bible that 365 times says, quote unquote, “Fear not.” For instance, the King James Version says “Fear not” or “Be not afraid” 103 times, but not 365 times.
So why do I say that there are more than 365 “Fear nots” in the Bible?
“Fear” is spoken of over 500 times in the KJV. Furthermore, in addition to the “Fear nots” many times the Bible teaches us to “Fear God,” which really means reverence God alone and do not fear anyone or anything else. Expanding the search to look at verses encouraging us not to worry or not to be anxious would add many, many more “Fear not” Scriptures. This is why I say that there are more than 365 “Fear nots” in the Bible.
A Fear Not Prayer
The Psalmist often leads us in a “Fear not” prayer. The Psalms are the Bible’s great soul book, meant to train us to respond to all life situations and difficulties through prayer and trust in the Lord.
One example is Psalm 56. David has been seized by the Philistines and he starts to become afraid, but instead he sets his vision on his Lord and Savior in his midst. He praises God and his word to him: “Fear not!” He puts his trust in the Lord…
When I am afraid,
I will trust in you.
In God, whose word I praise,
In God I trust; I will not be afraid.
What can mortal man do to me?
(Psalm 56:3-4, repeated in similar words in verses 10-11.)
Watch and pray with David, “When I am afraid of _________, I will trust in you, O Lord.”

DID YOU KNOW:
What is the difference between sins and abominations?
Sometimes there is no difference between sins and abominations. It depends on the context. But by definition, a sin is a thought, word or deed that falls short of God’s glory or laws or expectations or holy standard or basically something that hurts God. According to Christian theology, Sin as in “original sin” is a fallen state of being that humankind has inherited from Adam and Eve as a result of the fall in the Garden of Eden when they disobeyed God.
Abomination, on the other hand, is something that causes anyone disgust or hatred. Sin can be an abomination because sin causes God to be disgusted with our association with evil thoughts, words and deeds.
Abomination as a word sounds like someone has done something more evil than sin. However, according to Christian theology, “all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God.” Abomination is not more evil than sin. It is just another description of sin. Sin can be either thoughts, words or acts of willful rejection of or disobedience to God.
