"NOMADIC TIMES REQUIRES:  FLEXIBILITY..  FUNCTIONALITY ..FLUIDITY.."

*PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM!!

THE FIGHT IS FIXED..

IN THE END, WE WIN..

CEASE FROM YOUR LABORS; TAKE UP YOUR CROSS; FOLLOW HIM

THE PROPHETIC TIMEPIECE (ISRAEL) DEMANDS OUR ATTENTION…

UNCONVENTIONAL WARFARE requires EXTRAORDINARY — STRATEGIC — and SUPERNATURAL..

Specialized Soldiers

A nomad is a member of a community without fixed habitation who regularly moves to and from areas. Such groups include hunter-gatherers, pastoral nomads (owning livestock), tinkers and trader nomads. In the twentieth century, the population of nomadic pastoral tribes slowly decreased, reaching an estimated 30–40 million nomads in the world as of 1995.

Sometimes also described as "nomadic" are various itinerant populations who move among densely populated areas to offer specialized services (crafts or trades) to their residents—external consultants, for example. These groups are known as "peripatetic nomads".

No longer seen as a DISABILITY..But, DIFFERENCE = Higher-functioning and Lower-functioning is now called a 'spectrum of difference' (e.g. Autism)

SINFUL HUMANITY has an acquired taste for DARKNESS, DEPRAVITY, and DYSFUNCTION in the name of freedom of the human will.

But, God's People have developed a weaponized indifference to the strategies of hell that are severely attempting to thwart the progress of Almighty God!!

FLEXIBILITY

= the quality of bending easily without breaking; adaptability and pliability

FUNCTIONALITY

= the quality of being suited to serve a purpose well; practicality of use

FLUIDITY

= the ability of a substance to flow without limitation or restriction

John 7:37-39

John 7:37-39) The great invitation: If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.

On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

a. On the last day, that great day of the feast: The Feast of Tabernacles lasted eight days. All through the first seven days water from the Pool of Siloam was carried in a golden pitcher and poured out at the altar to remind everyone of the water God miraculously provided for a thirsty Israel in the wilderness. It seems that on the eighth day there was no pouring of water — only prayers for water — to remind them that they came into the Promised Land.

i. "But the eighth day was not properly one of the feast days; the people ceased to dwell in the tabernacles on the seventh day. Philo says of it that it was the solemn conclusion, not of that feast alone, but of all the feasts in the year." (Alford)

See. This was the last feast-time Jesus would spend in Jerusalem before the Passover of His death. This was the last day of the last feast; the last time He would speak to many of them before His crucifixion.

b. Jesus stood and cried out: What Jesus was about to say was of great importance.

• Important because of where He said it (standing in the temple courts, right outside the temple itself).
• Important because of when He said it (at the last day of Tabernacles, after water had been poured out on the previous days).
• Important because of how He said it (crying out, even shouting — in contrast to the general tone of His ministry, according to Isaiah 42:2: He will not cry out, nor raise His voice, in nor cause His voice to be heard in the street).

c. If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink: The celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles emphasized how God provided water to Israel in the wilderness on their way to Canaan. Jesus boldly called people to Himself to drink and satisfy their deepest thirst, their spiritual thirst.

i. The invitation was broad because it said, if anyone. Intelligence, race, class, nationality, or political party don't limit it. The invitation was narrow because it said, if anyone thirsts. One must see their need. Thirst is not anything in itself; it is a lack of something. It is an emptiness, a crying need.

ii. There is dispute among commentators as to if Jesus said this as water was being poured out, or if He did it on the day when no water was poured out. It is perhaps impossible to be certain, but John's emphasis on the last day probably indicates that Jesus meant to show a contrast. "There's no more water at the temple and in the rituals we love. I have the water you're looking for."

iii. "On the eighth day no water was poured, and this would make Jesus' claim all the more impressive." (Morris)

iv. "On the eighth day, which commemorated their entrance into 'a land of springs of water,' this ceremony was discontinued. But the deeper spirits must have viewed with some misgiving all this ritual, feeling still in themselves a thirst which none of these symbolic forms quenched."

Hs include hunter-gatherers, pastoral nomads (owning livestock), tinkers and trader nomads. In the twentieth century, the population of nomadic pastoral tribes slowly decreased, reaching an estimated 30–40 million nomads in the world as of 1995.

Nomadic hunting and gathering—following seasonally available wild plants and game—is by far the oldest human subsistence method.[4] Pastoralists raise herds of domesticated livestock, driving or accompanying them in patterns that normally avoid depleting pastures beyond their ability to recover.[5] Nomadism is also a lifestyle adapted to infertile regions such as steppe, tundra, or ice and sand, where mobility is the most efficient strategy for exploiting scarce resources. For example, many groups living in the tundra are reindeer herders and are semi-nomadic, following forage for their animals.

Sometimes also described as "nomadic" are various itinerant populations who move among densely populated areas to offer specialized services (crafts or trades) to their residents—external consultants, for example. These groups are known as "peripatetic nomads".
