Sister, I know most of the time I don't make sense and I rarely can put things together    But at least the Lord does allow me crumbs  bits and pieces, PRAISE for that! 


Now this post reminded me of the directions and how biblical people oriented themselves...http://www.christian-forum.net/index.php?showtopic=33141&st=0 Post #3

How did the people of the bible orient themselves?

Isa 11:12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

"four corners of the earth" :: << like 'orient'--al>>> EAST!

The bibilical person faced eastward toward the sunrise, thus, front/east, behind/west, left/north, right/south.

In this Israel differed from the Egpytians, who oriented themselves to the south, the source of the Nile River.

Israel combined its sunrise' system with geographical viewpoints, thus, west/the sea, east/the wilderness, south/Negeb (dry southern country), north/mountians

And here is one I most indentify with <center of the world, YEP! that's me> :D :lol:

Israel lay in the central position between the nations, at the connecting point of three continents, via. land and water. They saw Jerusalem with its Mount Zion as the center of the world and for good reason too, so does the Lord God,

Isa 2:2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, [that] the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

Eze 5:5 ¶ Thus saith the Lord GOD; This [is] Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries [that are] round about her.

As expressed in the Jewish Midrash, "just as the navel is in the center of a person, so is the land of Israel".
