☆ＮＯ５９、 New Temple. (Father’s Business.)
According to the Gospel of Luke, that Now when the days of Mary's purification according to the law of Moses were completed,
parents brought the child Jesus to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord. And they offer a pair of doves as a sacrifice to the Lord.
I think those offerings were very fit for Jesus who first came to the earth. Because they were the first creatures who landed after Noah's flood.
Also, the olive leaf as the first plant was in their mouth. And there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon.
And the Holy Spirit was upon him. When the parents brought in Jesus, he took Him up in his arms and blessed God, and said,
"Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, according to Your word."
So, after this, immediately he passed away and was carried by the angels before the throne of God in heaven.
God said to Simeon," I am Spirit and no flesh. Therefore you took Him in your arms instead of Me. How had been He in your arms?"
Simeon answered, "My Lord, He is very well." God said to Simeon," Good! I am glad. How has been Mary, is she well too?"
Simeon said, "My Lord, I am afraid she seemed sad when I told her that a sword will pierce through her soul. My Lord, did I tell her something wrong?"
God said to him, "Simeon! You told her true. That was your business. And, I will give her many peaceful days after His mission. That is my business."
I drew Anna-left side old woman-a, a prophetess.
She was a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple and also served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
She is the future Mary. Mary also prayed night and day. The temple was not God's habitation. However, God kept the temple during Mary's life.
The temple was destroyed in AD70 70 by the Roman army. Therefore I can state Mary was longevity. Her nephew John wrote about Mary in the Book of Revelation.
She put on her head a garland of twelve stars, and which are the twelve disciples of the Lord sent out into all the earth. So, this crown name is Matrix of the church.
Mary is worthy of putting on it. Because at the time of the end she will be a big helper of the church again. I think that would be a very exciting experience for us.
And the moon under her feet was denied by Christianity. Christianity no longer celebrated the new moon like Judaism and never worshiped any idols like animism.
And also, she is clothed with the sun, which represents Christianity is an heir to the ancient Roman religion, which worships the sun.
For example, the day of Christmas had been celebrated, which allowed seeing a longer daytime since this day was one of the ancient Roman religions as the Mithras festival
Many people saw two space pilots who belonged to a Christian country, the US, standing on the moon in July 1969. Their mission's name was Project Apollo.
Apollo means the sun. So literally the sun stood on the moon.
I will end this commentary with a word of Mary's prayer which was quoted from Psalm chapter 138 verse 1-3
I will praise You with my whole heart; before the angels, I will sing praises to You.
I will worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth;
For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.
On the day when I cried out,
You answered me and made me bold with strength in my soul. Amen.
