Joel 223: Prostitutes In His DNA! Why does Christ want Gentiles and Jews in His DNA?

We are going all over the Bible because we’re interested in discovering all we can about Ephesians 1:9-14, The Mystery of The Will of The Father.

We go to the harlots in the Bible that are woman of great faith. The Canaanite women, Rahab, and the Canaanite woman who Christ talks with... but there are more, and we go over a few. Some are in the lineage of Christ. We have Tamar, the first woman named in the lineage of Christ in Matthew. She, at least for a brief time, is a harlot. We are reminded of Saul tearing apart an oxen and sends the pieces to the tribes. That should remind us of the great perversion in Judges 19. What’s the nature of perversion? It goes to war. Goliath was a perversion. We have King Og. His coffin was 6 feet wide and 18 feet tall. Could Tamar have something to do with Rahab. Tamar was a Canaanite. The Canaanite woman knew who Christ is, and asks Him to deliver her daughter from a demon. How does the mother connect with Tamar and Rahab? Christ deliberately included Gentiles in His line. We have the unification of Jews and Gentiles in the body of Christ. And Paul goes around saying the Gentiles have the same opportunity as the Jews. But back to Tamar. What was she thinking? Rahab and Tamar could have been killed for what they did. And we have the red cord, a picture of the blood of Christ. But back again to Tamar, and prostitutes of great faith, and Mary and Martha.

This is beginning to look like a ping pong match with several tables in play. That’s why these notes seem to be all over the place. The confusion is probably not conducive to bringing in the visitors, but the Cliffside moto is, Chasing away the visitors every Sunday no matter what.
