Sober Raccoons!
Reply to a message by a Curious Questioner--
re: (3) SWEET SOBERNESS!
>>RC> The Jewish rabbi, S.M.Isaacs emphatically said: "The Jews do NOT, in their feasts for sacred purposes, INCLUDING THE MARRIAGE FEAST, ever use any kind of fermented drinks. In their oblations and libations, both private and public, they employ the fruit of the vine - that is, fresh grapes - unfermented grape-juice, and raisins, as the symbol of benediction." (--"Bible Wines")
>CQ> Would you supply more details on this quote...What? The quote is on page 70 of the aforementioned book, seemingly written sometime after 1870, when Isaacs dwelt in New York City.
>CQ> At the Reform temple here in [location veiled], Mogen David wine (12%) is served every Sabbath. On Pesach (Passover) they break out the good stuff and serve King David sacramental kosher wine imported from Israel, again, 12% alcohol.So that would be about A HALF CUP of -alcohol- per FOUR cups of such "wine" made by the corrupt leaven of fermentation. The original Passover of Exodus was a time to WATCH and BE SOBER, having "your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it IN HASTE:" ready to leave "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye." (They didn't stagger half-drunk out of Egypt.)
>CQ> At Pesach, all chametz (leaven, yeast, etc.) MUST be removed from the house (Ex. 12:15). Grapes have a "bloom" on them which is actually a form of yeast and in those days it would be impossible to remove that leaven from the grape juice except by chemical means.With God all things are possible! (Airborne yeast settles on DOUGH too!) "But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee"(Job.12:7p) BEHOLD THE RACCOON! (The creature that BAPTIZES its food in water before eating. Verily, "a thief in the night" in corn patches... :)
After setting out dry dog food next to a large vessel of water, I've spent many a night watching Raccoons receive THE FREE GIFT instead of raiding my corn; and behold, they scoop up "handfuls of purpose", dump them in the water, and even climb into the water to "fish" them back out, redeeming them one by one. (They like marshmallows too! :)
Ancient grape preservation techniques include: "Firm ripe grapes are CHOSEN and WASHED in running water; immersed (blanched) in steaming water; and SEALED up, for storage in a CISTERN or cold spring."
>CQ> Once fermented, the alcohol destroys the yeast...The HEAT OF BAKING destroys the yeast and EVAPORATES the alcohol in BREAD made with LEAVEN, but such BREAD is still FORBIDDEN! The fact that the leaven used to make bread or wine gets destroyed is beside the point; it is still the product of being SPOILED by the leaven of CORRUPTION. ("Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy...")
Remember that Jesus is the Lord and behold, He cometh as a Raccoon!
Grace be to your heart, in love for Jesus' sake. Amen. --Richard
