Description
Have you ever noticed what we do in the rain? Either we scrunch up and run for cover or we throw our hands in the air and start laughing and jumping around! Let's look at pictures of people in the rain, imagine what we'll be doing right after we get raised from the dead, and talk about why an ancient Jewish prayer smunches rainfall and the resurrection together. This is a takeaway from my newest Mishnah Snapshots study. We also talked about these questions: ~Did you know Israel gets about as much rain as Sudan? ~When are the "early and latter rains", anyway? ~How long did it take to hike from Babylon to Israel? ~Why did Yeshua say to anoint yourself when fasting? ~The bittersweet experience of walking the spiritual path.
