This from August 7th, because the Lord has had me considering carefully before posting.
Monday 7 August 2023
The Lord reminds me, presses into me something further about “J919” (from 21 June).
Consider it from a signal perspective, child.
Here’s what I discover: In the International system of Maritime Signal Flags, the letter “J” is this flag:
and means: “I am going to send a message by semaphore.”
“J919” in Morse code is: .— —-. .—- —-.
In Hebrew, a ‘dot’ is dagesh, a ‘dash’ is dri•shat shalom (regards, greetings, salutation)
Strong’s Concordance 919 is beḏeq, in maritime context, the cracks between the planks of a ship, filled with caulk to keep it watertight; implied to repair a crack or gap.
Later, I hear this message of encouragement:
I hear your cry, I know your every prayer, and your every word of praise.
And even later into the evening – at night, really, while walking Luke in the dark, He asks me to consider this additional insight into “The Parable of the Wounded Feet”, from March 15th, 2022. He is asking me to re-write some words at the end.
In the original parable, I wrote that for the badly wounded “… it is clear – they can’t go on, they will have to stay behind, and they now are very afraid of being left alone when everyone else moves on. No one will be able to stay with them.”
Yet the Lord gently corrects me now.
… that even though the deeply wounded would not go on with the main group, neither would they be abandoned. They would be cared for by other healers who would stay with them, and that those most deeply wounded would be tended by the Master Healer.
