35th Post Comments on this part of our study Jesus' Authority.

Our class meets for two hours each week, and you would think in that much time, we could finish our Bible passages we are to study, and thoroughly exhaust each discussion on the Bible passages.
This is far from the case, what we find is that the two hour time slot rushes by, and things come up that need explaining, I say I will put in the blog, but I can't seem to find a place to fit them in. These go without explanation, and people think I have forgotten about their questions. This is not always the case, I do confess that I suffer from short term memory loss, and this can be a problem.
In one of our meetings, the word Shechinah came up. Those who have had my class in the past or know me, spelling is not one of my strong suits. I told them that I would find the correct spelling of this word and put in my blog. Now I can't very well give you the correct spelling and not tell you what this word means. Shechinah comes from the Hebrew, and means visible presence of God. This was the word used in the Old Testament to describe the pilar of smoke and the pilar of fire that led the Israelites in the wilderness, this same word is used to describe the cloud on the Mount of Transfiguration. We have talked about this but have not studied it yet in this blog. I will have to write down words that I need to post in the future, and I will try to share them in this blog in a more timely fashion. Thanks to all of you who are reading this blog. I hope it is informative and helps you build a stronger relationship with God. God Bless You.
