Well, I think the blog title says it all. There’s no Old Testament lectionary reading today (except for the Psalm). And for that matter, there are none for a while here except on Sundays and feast days. They decided to go with that Revelation book instead. What to do? What to do? I know. I’ll try that Bibliomancy thing, I linked to earlier.
Flip… 1 Chronicles 9.39 “Ner begot Kish, Kish begot Saul, Saul begot Jonathan, Malchi-shua, Abinadab, and Eshbaal;”
Don’t think that’s going to work. Flip… Numbers 1.38-39 “Of the Descendants of Dan, the registration of the clans of their ancestral house listed by name, aged twenty years and over, all who were able to bear arms — those enrolled from the Tribe of Dan: 62,700.”
Shoot! I wonder why no one tells stories about “I just opened up my Bible, pointed my finger, and there it was … A genealogy.” Or, “I just opened up my Bible, and God showed me this … census data.”
Oh well. Maybe I’ll do a series. If you have any suggestions for series topics that might interest you, let me know in the comments below:
