Juzgue – “Lo que consume la palabra de pacto.” ¿Cómo puede ser cierta esta imagen de la palabra hebrea mishpat (Shin-Pey-Tau)? Esta imagen de palabra debe estar errada. ¿No es acaso el juicio sobre restauración? ¿No acabamos de aprender que mishpat (de shapat) tiene como intención la reconciliación? Alto.

We don’t really believe in a God of hope. If we did, we would rejoice in dead ends. No, my observation is that we really believe in the God of stoic perseverance. We believe in that inner resolve of the human spirit that shouts at the dark, “I will not go quietly. I will fight….
Moses made a copper serpent and mounted it on a standard; and when anyone was bitten by a serpent, he would look at the copper serpent and recover. Numbers 21:9 Copper Serpent – Many people believe that the common symbol of medicine, two serpents on a cross, originated with this event. But a careful reading…
