Between Zabul and Laghman


These are two places, 2 strange and high places on earth. Do you know the meaning of "high places" in the Bible? Valley is found between 2 mountains, but the pagans like to go up to the top to worship the idol...they burned sacrifices and incenses to their Baal and idols. Highness places are not good in spiritual term. Israel were told not to worship baal and idols on those high places.

But in Ezekiel time they were told to do some strange thing.

Ezekiel 4:9 refers to a passage in the Bible that describes how to prepare bread with wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet and fitches (spelt). The problem here is that the biblical recipe was intended to help survive famine during an upcoming siege, not because it tastes good or that it's healthy for you. The last ingredient is human feces! The dung is to be burn to cook the bread.

Ezekiel 4:12 Eat the food as you would a barley cake; bake it in the sight of the people, using human excrement for fuel."

verse 13 The LORD said, "In this way the people of Israel will eat defiled food among the nations where I will drive them."

verse 14 Then I said, "Not so, Sovereign LORD! I have never defiled myself. From my youth until now I have never eaten anything found dead or torn by wild animals. No unclean meat has ever entered my mouth."

verse 15 "Very well," he said, "I will let you bake your bread over cow manure instead of human excrement."

VPP theologians forgot that in these siege time, "Dung" mixed with straw and dried was commonly used as fuel throughout the Middle East because of the scarcity of wood. The dried dung burned slowly but gave off an unpleasant odor.

Just eat the bread.....do not be choosy! Eat ! It is edible. Peter was asked to eat unclean animals, eat, God see and pronounced them as cleansed, we have to accept the food !

If Bible is to say as a bread figuratively, and if NIV to compared to those "unclean bread," do you pick and choose not to eat?

Since you do not want to read NIV, you rather pick KJV only.

If CUV taken as a bread burned and cooked in those unclean fuel, do you refuse to eat it? You dare to say it is smelly, unclean? With your empty stomach? Dare you say that to the Lord who commanded you to take and eat!

Thank God, in the NT we knew Jesus Christ is the bread from heaven, He is the hidden manna, living bread for our soul, living water for thirsty soul like us.

Some misinterpretations and missing words in the CUV and NIV and NKJV are compared with the unclean fuel, are to refer figuratively as the unclean fuel, do these unclean fuel defiled the bread? And so you do not want to eat the bread, because of smell of the dung? You are over extra... choosy! You are going to stave to death.

Do not go to the high places like the mountain of VPP!
