<div style="background: white; line-height: 20.25pt; margin-bottom: 15.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The key to travelling light but with all the important stuffs you’ll need during your business trip is by creating a checklist covering your essentials.

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For major tips on organising a business travel checklist; here are some of the things to look out for:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h2 style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong><span lang="EN-GB" style="border: 1pt none; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small; padding: 0in;">Get a carry-on sized bag:</span></strong></h2>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Most business travellers stick to using carryon luggage only. It saves time and reduces the risk of losing your luggage. It is extremely uncomfortable to arrive at your business destination without your work clothes. You don’t have to check your luggage in or wait for it at the other end.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong><span lang="EN-GB" style="border: 1pt none; padding: 0in;">Clothing:</span></strong><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "bell mt" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A business traveller’s wardrobe tends to be a lot more conservative. Accessories and catchy outfits are kept at a minimum. A number of factors affect the type and amount of clothing you will need for a trip, stick to packing appropriate business attire that can also play a double role for both meetings and dining out and stick with just a few casual outfits for your free time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong><span lang="EN-GB" style="border: 1pt none; padding: 0in;">Packing:</span></strong><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "bell mt" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The best packing method for your carryon luggage is the Bundle Wrapping Method. You will be surprised by how much of your outfits will be able to fit into your carryon luggage. Roll softer fabric and fold stiffer fabrics. You can also use garment carrier bags when travelling with suits. Ensure you pack and arrange your items strategically, it saves you valuable time and hassle when going through security.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h2 style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong><span lang="EN-GB" style="border: 1pt none; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small; padding: 0in;">Travel documents and money:</span></strong></h2>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Keep your travel documents organized and in as safe place while travelling. Travel organizers are perfect for storing your travel documents while on the move. Extra copies of your travel documents should be kept separately at all times as you are likely to need some of these items for your journey:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong><span lang="EN-GB" style="border: 1pt none; padding: 0in;">Electronics and Gadgets:</span></strong><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "bell mt" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ensure that your carryon luggage allows you easy access to your laptop, as you have to remove it from your bag when going through airport security. Every business traveller takes a small mobile office along on trips. This includes your mobile phone, laptop, iPad and charger, e-book reader, extension cord or plug Adaptor. Invest in good quality wheeled carryon luggage for business travels, it helps you stay organized and makes it easier for you to work while travelling.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong><span lang="EN-GB" style="border: 1pt none; padding: 0in;">Toiletries:</span></strong><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "bell mt" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Minimize the amount of toiletries you put in your carryon bag as much as possible but take the necessary things like your hygiene products and antibacterial wipes, insect repellent or sunscreen lotion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When arranging, keep your toiletry bag at the top of your carryon bag for easy access. Put all liquids in the right size of containers (less than 100 ml. is the current regulation) and should be in separate clear plastic bags.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h3 style="background: white; line-height: 18.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong><span lang="EN-GB" style="border: 1pt none; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small; padding: 0in;">Follow TSA regulations:</span></strong></h3>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Transportation Security Administration screens all aircraft passengers and luggage prior to boarding a commercial aircraft. Restrictions on liquids, gels and aerosols may vary by destination, so, go to the website of your departure airport for information before packing.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Packing for a business trip doesn’t have to be such a herculean task. By preparing in time and sticking only to the essentials, you can focus solely on the trip.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Monday announced the release of its guidelines for admission process this year.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 20px; widows: auto;">
The announcement followed a week of meeting with universities and other tertiary institutions in Nigeria.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 20px; widows: auto;">
Announcing the guidelines on its website, the board said that the modalities was going to be based on point system.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 20px; widows: auto;">
The board, which explained   how the admission process would work‎ for JAMB candidates and direct entry students, also stated that universities were going to charge fees for screening of candidates at the end of the process for admission.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 20px; widows: auto;">
According to the board, the new method uses a point system, which is divided into other processes, that is easy to understan<span style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px; widows: auto;">For instance, it noted among others: “Before a candidate can be considered for screening, he/she must have been given provisional admission by JAMB. The JAMB admission checker portal is going to be opened soon for this process, so praying is all you can do now,” the statement on JAMB’s website said.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 20px; widows: auto;">
The second process, the board said, was the point system where admission would depend on the point tally of the candidate.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 20px; widows: auto;">
“JAMB’s provisional admission no longer makes much sense this year, your points tally will decide your faith.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 20px; widows: auto;">
“The points are evenly spread out between your O’level and JAMB results to provide a level playing field for all.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 20px; widows: auto;">
“In the first case, any candidate who submits only one result which contains his/her relevant subjects already has 10 points, the exam could be NECO, WAEC, GCE etc, but any candidate who has 2 sittings only gets 2 points. So this means that aspirants with only one result are at an advantage but only just,” the statement said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 20px; widows: auto;">
The board explained that the next point grades fell into the O’level grades where each grade has it’s equivalent point;  A=6 marks, B=4 marks, C=3 marks, so the better the candidates’  grades, the better his or her  chances of securing admission this year.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 20px; widows: auto;">
The next point is the UTME scores where each score range has its equivalent point which can be summarized thus, 180-200=20-23 marks, 200-250=24-33 points, 251-300=34-43, 300-400=44-60 points.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 20px; widows: auto;">
Giving a breakdown, JAMB explained that each categories contains five JAMB results per point added. For example a candidate with 180-185 gets 20 points, a candidate with 186-190 gets 21 points etc, adding that ‎points system for direct entry will be released soon.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 20px; widows: auto;">
The board stated that fees would still be charged for screening which has replaced the Post UTME.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 20px; widows: auto;">
“It  then comes down to the fact that fees will still be charged for screening, it depends on the school as well,” the statement said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 20px; widows: auto;">
‎It also disclosed that catchment and ELDS will still be used!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 20px; widows: auto;">
“Merit contains 45% of the total candidates for a particular course, Catchment contains 35% and ELDS and staff lists contains the rest.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 20px; widows: auto;">
<span style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px; widows: auto;">“Cut off marks will be released by schools this year in the form of points and not marks. If a school declares it’s cut off mark for Medicine as 90 points and JAMB grants a candidate with 250 a provisional admission but his/her total points falls short of the 90 points, then he/she will lose the admission. So the provisional admission is just a means to an end, not the end in itself,” the statement added.</span>d.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 20px; widows: auto;">

In a passage found in the Book of Jeremiah (<a href="http://biblehub.com/jeremiah/13.htm" style="color: #d24d33; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">13:1-11</a>), God instructs the prophet to act out a lesson for the people via a linen “waistcloth.” The word is ambiguous enough that it could refer to a belt or to a cloth tied around the wast, a common type of underwear at the time. Most scholars favor the second interpretation, since “the intimacy of the garment to the wearer requires it to be <a href="https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=3OpLAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA103&lpg=PA103&dq=jeremiah+underwear+belt&source=bl&ots=2z7L6ziHuN&sig=guYC0qwPsI7pwUrTosZoVWWKAl4&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwil8dqfrKnKAhWJNz4KHSH6Aa44FBDoAQgyMAQ#v=onepage&q=jeremiah%20underwear%20belt&f=false" style="color: #d24d33; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">an undergarment</a>.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
Sticking with the underwear interpretation, God tells Jeremiah to go out and buy himself a new linen undergarment, but forbids him from letting water touch it. In other words, Jeremiah can’t wash his underwear! After wearing the waistcloth for some time, God tells the prophet take it off and hide it in the cleft of a rock near the Euphrates.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
And things don’t end there. After many days, Jeremiah is instructed to return to the Euphrates and retrieve his hidden undies. Once there, the prophet finds the underwear in a disgusting state and judges it “ruined and useless.” God then informs him that the pride of Judah and Jerusalem will be ruined in the same way as his revolting underwear, “for as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel.”</div>

2.The Xenophobic Prophet</h2>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
Nehemiah was governor of Jerusalem during the Persian rule in 444 BC. The<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Nehemiah%2013&version=NIV" style="color: #d24d33; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">Book of Nehemiah</a> is a first-person account of his attempts to rebuild Jerusalem both physically and spiritually. One of his key achievements was the completion of the city walls in a mere 52 days.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
Soon after the walls were done, Nehemiah left for Persia to report to King Artaxerxes (and probably brag about his awesome wall-building skills). When Nehemiah finally returned to Jerusalem, he was greeted with some bad news. During his absence, some of the Jews had married foreign women from Ashdod, Moab, and Ammon. As a result, their mixed children couldn’t even speak Hebrew.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
Incensed by this intermarriage, Nehemiah had a meltdown and began hurling curses at the culprits. When this wasn’t enough, he started pulling out their hair and beating them. Eventually, the men could bear it no longer and agreed to take an oath agreeing that they were “not to give your daughters in marriage to their sons, nor are you to take their daughters in marriage for your sons or for yourselves.” This seemed to calm Nehemiah down and he ended his book with a boast that he “purified the priests and the Levites of everything foreign.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
Ironically, the short-tempered Nehemiah’s name means “<a href="http://www.behindthename.com/name/nehemiah" style="color: #d24d33; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">comforted by Yahweh</a>.”</div>

<h2 style="background-color: white; border-top-color: rgb(221, 221, 219); border-top-style: solid; border-width: 1px 0px 0px; color: #343434; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 28px; font-stretch: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.1; margin: 30px 0px 0px; padding: 12px 0px 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
3.The Prophetic Ghost</h2>
</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
The story of King Saul and the <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/resources/all-women-bible/Witch-Endor" style="color: #d24d33; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">Witch of Endor</a> is one Biblical passage that raises more questions than it answers, prompting all sorts of theological and moral dilemmas.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
After the death and burial of the prophet Samuel in Ramah, the Philistines gathered their entire army ready to attack Israel. Terrified, Saul sought advice from God, but received no answer. So Saul decided to force the matter and ordered his servants to find him a witch.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
This was difficult, since Saul had previously launched a campaign to wipe out all witches and magicians in the land of Israel. But a spirit-medium of some sort was eventually discovered in Endor, and Saul decided to <a href="http://biblehub.com/1_samuel/28-7.htm" style="color: #d24d33; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">visit her in disguise</a>. At Saul’s bidding, the unnamed woman apparently summoned the ghost of Samuel. The prophet, however, was unimpressed and proceeded to berate Saul for bothering him and for disobeying God by consulting a witch. The prophetic ghost then predicted Saul’s death in battle the next day. And sure enough, Saul and his family were all promptly killed by the Philistines.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
Of course, the Bible strictly forbids witchcraft, so it’s no surprise that Saul was punished. What is puzzling is that the woman of Endor apparently succeeds in communicating with Samuel. This suggests that magic might actually be real in Christianity, to the point that a witch can have power over the spirit of a prophet, even though this doesn’t gel at all with the rest of the Bible. According to the Bible, all power stems from God and God reviles witches. So why would He allow them the power to raise the dead?</div>

On the other hand, scholars have long noted that the witch reacts with <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/resources/commentaries/Matthew-Henry/1Sam/Saul-Consults-Witch-Endor" style="color: #d24d33; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">surprise and alarm</a> when Samuel actually shows up. This might suggest that she was a con artist who didn’t really expect the seance to work. Instead, God decided to send Samuel’s spirit down to call Saul out for his sinfulness and lack of faith. But the Bible doesn’t spell that out, so the exact meaning of the passage remains a matter of debate.</div>

4.The Gentile Prophet</h2>

Elijah is one of the most famous Biblical figures. Among other things, he was the first prophet to raise a dead person and was eventually taken up to heaven in “a whirlwind.” The Bible once refers to him as “the Tishbite from Gilead,” which has led some commentators to suggest that he might have been a <a href="http://www.osyministries.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&catid=44%3Aosy-study-docs&id=282%3Aelijah-was-not-a-gentile&Itemid=87" style="color: #d24d33; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">non-Jewish gentile</a> by birth (<span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: oblique; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">tishbe</span> can be translated as “stranger”). This theory doesn’t hold much water, since it’s much more likely that he was from the town of Tishbe and Elijah is a Jewish name anyway.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
But that doesn’t mean that there are no gentile prophets in the Bible. The Book of Numbers features an enigmatic figure <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers+22" style="color: #d24d33; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">named Balaam</a>, a non-Israelite prophet who actually ends up working against Moses and the Jews. Balaam enters the narrative in Numbers 22, when the Israelites arrive in Moab on their long journey to the promised land. Naturally, this alarms King Balak of Moab, who sends messengers asking Balaam to curse the invaders “for I know that whoever you bless is blessed, and whoever you curse is cursed.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
God tells Balaam to refuse the request, since the Jews are His chosen people and He’s not going to put a curse on them. But Balak keeps offering more money and God eventually agrees to let Balaam go see the king in person. Balaam and the king offer three sacrifices to God, but each time God responds through Balaam with a blessing for the Jews instead of a curse. Naturally, the king is furious, but Balaam tells him he can only speak the words God gives him.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
The king must have been <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: oblique; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">really</span> unhappy with that answer, because Balaam apparently did give some advice of his own. A <a href="http://biblehub.com/numbers/31.htm" style="color: #d24d33; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">later passage</a> mentions that he told the king to tempt the Israelites into sinning, thereby causing God to be angry with them and removing their special protection. Ironically, this sinful advice probably had the same effect on Balaam, and Numbers 31:8 briefly mentions that he was killed during a battle between the Israelites and the Midianites.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">

5.A Doomed Prophetic Marriage</h2>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
The Book of Hosea isn’t the most popular segment of the Bible, as its content can be a bit hard to chew. Among other things, it kicks off with God ordering Hosea to marry the <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hosea%201&version=NIV" style="color: #d24d33; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">most promiscuous woman</a> he can find, “for like an adulterous wife this land is guilty of unfaithfulness to the Lord.” Hosea obediently marries a woman named Gomer, who presumably didn’t mind the worst proposal in history.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
Gomer eventually has three children (the Bible only specifies that Hosea was the father of the oldest) and it quickly becomes clear that God intends to continue using the family to convey his irritation with the people of Israel. He tells Hosea to name the oldest son Jezreel, for “I will break Israel’s bow in the Valley of Jezreel.” The youngest daughter is dubbed “Lo-Ruhamah (which means ‘not loved’), for I will no longer show love to Israel.” Gomer’s youngest son is slightly luckier than Lo-Ruhamah, with God telling Hosea to “call him Lo-Ammi (‘not my people’), for you are not my people and I am not your God.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
The book then describes how God metaphorically breaks up with Israel, “for she is not my wife and I am not her husband,” and vows to “punish her for the days she burned incense to the Baals.” Meanwhile, Gomer leaves Hosea to live with another man.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
But the story ends on a hopeful note, with God urging the prophet to forgive his wife. The couple reconcile and pledge to be faithful to each other. As for God and Israel: “I am now going to allure her. I will lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her. There I will give her back her vineyards, and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. There she will respond as in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt.” In other words, God will always be willing to love and forgive his people, no matter their sins.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
Interestingly, the story of Hosea and Gomer seems to directly contradict<a href="http://biblehub.com/leviticus/20-10.htm" style="color: #d24d33; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">Leviticus 20:10</a>, which calls for adulterers to be stoned to death.</div>

6.The Doubting Prophet</h2>
</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
The typical image of a prophet includes an iron faith in the will of the Lord. But the prophet Habakkuk often found himself questioning just what God was thinking. In fact, while most prophets relayed God’s word to the people, Habakkuk was more concerned with relaying the people’s questions to God. The short Book of Habakkuk starts with the prophet reaching the end of his tether and <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Habakkuk%201&version=NIV" style="color: #d24d33; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">demanding some answers</a>: “How long, Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen? Or cry out to you, “Violence!” but you do not save? Why do you make me look at injustice? Why do you tolerate wrongdoing?”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
God responds to Habakkuk, but completely ignores the questions and just says He’s going to let the Babylonians devastate the region. Inexplicably, that doesn’t satisfy Habakkuk, who essentially repeats his earlier complaints and then announces he’ll be camping on the city walls until he gets some proper answers. Impressed by the prophet’s passion, God speaks again.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
He explains that people can make their own choices in life, but that everyone will eventually face a day of judgment for their actions. In a lengthy speech, God calls out everyone from violent empires like Babylon (“Has not the Lord Almighty determined that the people’s labor is only fuel for the fire, that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing? For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.”) to rapists (“Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbors, pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk, so that he can gaze on their naked bodies! You will be filled with shame instead of glory. Now it is your turn! Drink and let your nakedness be exposed!”).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
This answer satisfies Habakkuk, and his book ends with a lengthy passage praising God</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; border-top-color: rgb(221, 221, 219); border-top-style: solid; border-width: 1px 0px 0px; color: #343434; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 28px; font-stretch: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.1; margin: 30px 0px 0px; padding: 12px 0px 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
7.The Strange Prophet</h2>
</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
It’s no secret that Ezekiel is perhaps the weirdest book in the Bible. With its strange visions and explicit sexual language, some rabbis instructed that the book shouldn’t be read by any Torah student under <a href="https://sojo.net/articles/don-t-read-part-bible-if-you-re-under-30-or-woman" style="color: #d24d33; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">the age of 30</a>. Ezekiel himself was among 10,000 Jewish captives taken to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar. He was from the tribe of Levi, and God called him to be a prophet <a href="http://www.ldolphin.org/ezekiel/ezekiel2.html" style="color: #d24d33; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">around 593 BC</a>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
Ezekiel’s trances and visions of <a href="http://biblehub.com/ezekiel/1.htm" style="color: #d24d33; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">wheels with eyes</a>, four-faced creatures with human hands and wings, and strange crystalline architectures in the sky were so intense that it has been seriously suggested he suffered <a href="https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=z10-Xz9Kno4C&pg=PA185&lpg=PA185&dq=ezekiel+psychotic&source=bl&ots=ajuA2ieRKX&sig=TRweSSu5ctYeiSs03dlVEpktWnI&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjxh7Ce86fKAhXM8RQKHXfqB5UQ6AEIKTAC#v=onepage&q=ezekiel%20psychotic&f=false" style="color: #d24d33; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">from schizophrenia</a> or some other form of psychosis.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
And the style of Ezekiel’s preaching was almost as unusual as its content. After starting his prophetic career by <a href="http://biblehub.com/ezekiel/3-3.htm" style="color: #d24d33; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">eating a scroll</a> given to him by God, Ezekiel developed a penchant for bizarre and dramatic symbolic acts. These included lying on his side for <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel%204:4-8&version=NIV" style="color: #d24d33; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">430 days</a> to symbolize the number of years the people of Israel and Judah had spent in sin. To warn the people of their impending destruction, he cut off his hair and beard using a sword, burned a third of it, threw a third of it into the wind, and hacked the remaining third <a href="http://www.bibletools.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/Topical.show/RTD/CGG/ID/7133/Hair-Metaphor-Ezekiel-5.htm" style="color: #d24d33; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">to pieces</a>, only saving a few hairs in his garment.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6d6d6d; float: left; font-family: TitilliumRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
On another occasion, Ezekiel had a vision ordering him to cook his food over<a href="http://biblehub.com/ezekiel/4-12.htm" style="color: #d24d33; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">human excrement</a>, to symbolize the desperate state the Jews would be reduced to. This proved too much for even Ezekiel, who managed to persuade God to let him use cow dung instead. But perhaps the most shocking passage tells of how Ezekiel <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel+24:15-24&version=NIV" style="color: #d24d33; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">refused to mourn</a> his beloved wife’s death. Wise to his act, the people quickly asked what his weird behavior had to do with them. Ezekiel responded that greater suffering was in store than the loss of his wife and advised that the people should <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/resources/all-women-bible/Ezekiel-8217-s-Wife" style="color: #d24d33; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in;" target="_blank">bear it bravely</a>, without giving in to grief.</div>
