  • Word of the Day

    “Obfuscation is not unlike the subjective condition of having had no one other than a certain individual, in accordance with the definition of the word, make it, in no uncertain terms, completely and utterly quite far from a reasonable level of ease to, for lack of a better term, understand, or rather receive elucidation as to what may, or may not have been (this matter, is of course, subject to debate, considering several metaphysical and etymological ramifications, but all in good time…) the original intention of the statement, in other words, a means of anacoluthic circumlocution, often being inclusive of what many would certainly come to a consensus to be unnecessarily aggrandized words, as well as having among its structure a superfluous amount of clauses and phrases contained in one sentence, deliberately constructed in such a fashion in order to possess the desired effect, which can be correctly deduced to be an effect of confusion, or perhaps an attempt of verbal subterfuge for the express purpose of escaping comprehension.”

    Please note that I do not intend, whether you perceived that it was implied before this or not, whether by the title of this post or by other means, to, whether by some unanticipated coincidence in the future or by some unrecalled past occurrence, in the sequence of events, commonly known as “time,” or “the passage of time,” though occasionally termed other things, on this site, being my personal (as in, belonging to myself) webpage under the domain of www.xanga.com which I usually use for things other than this purpose (that purpose being the topic of discussion within the confines of this sentence and the comments section below, the discussion and words of which I am not responsible; not to say that I am irresponsible, but rather that I claim no responsibility for the aforementioned), post, propogate, publish, publicate (not a word), or otherwise perform any other action beginning with the letter “P,” a daily word or word of the day, that being one word in a document also containing the definition of that word, posted, published, publicated (also not a word), et cetera, each day, meaning each of the three hundred and sixty five and one quarter days contained in each earth year, one year being defined as the approximate (near estimated) time taken by the earth (assuming time exists, but I shouldn’t digress) to revolve once around the celestial body of fissionating (“fissionating” is to “a real word” as “intelligent” is to “my sister’s dog”) helium and hydrogen commonly called “the sun” by the speakers of the language called “English” by its own speakers, those speakers being members of the race called “humans” (by the aforementioned speakers of “English”), native to the planet “earth” (see previous parenthetical note), that planet being the third planet by distance from the aforementioned celestial body.

    Just thought I should make that clear.

    ryc: thanks for your thoughts…i am going to indulge more but probably not tonight because of time

  • Hahaha. Wow. That post made my head spin; but it was great. :bow:

  • Obfuscation: I definitely think that the definition fits the word. It has caused the desired effect that it was defined to do. Pretty funny.
    So in order to begin we need to set a very large context in which we find Daniel (Daniel 9) praying and the Lord giving him the revelation of the seventy-sevens. All bible verses will be posted from the KJV unless you have some aversion to the translation and become offended. Just let me know, but it will help in the defining of the words used in the original Hebrew.
    In verse 2 of Daniel 9 we see Daniel has the understanding of why Israel had been desolate for the last 70 year (which ran concurrent *a point worthy of mention*). Daniel then begins to pray for the people seeing that the time of desolation had been accomplished and he cries out for the Lord to forgive them of their sins against Him and in verse 4 to remember His covenantial mercies. Verses 11,12,13 show that what had happened to the Israelites was foretold by God and their was a record of it in the books of the Law. As Daniel is praying for forgiveness and restoration the angel Gabriel comes to Daniel and foretells of the restoration to come in verse 24 with the seventy-sevens.
    Nowhere in the immediate text do we find an explanation of why we should except the interpretation that the seventy-sevens are symbolic of years, one needs to dig further back into the judgment that befell Israel to understand this. In 2 Chronicles 36:21 we find the meaning of the seventy years of judgment being about the sabbath rests that the Israelites had failed to give to the land on the commandment of the Lord (they had many other sins as well). One year of exile for every year they failed to let the land rest. (see Leviticus 26 for a prophets foretelling of the events) The decree of the Lord to let the land have its sabbath rests comes from Leviticus 25. Verse 8 is of particular importance to our understanding of the 7′s representing years but the whole chapter and the next (25,26) set the context of Daniel 9. Let me know if you are following and read the chapters in Lev.

  • …you know I tried to actually understand that.

  • and you know what, I do understand it. I’m such a nerd…

  • I like you. So much that I even subscribed. And who knows. Maybe you’ll get me back into the world of blogging.

  • YES!!!!!!! UNCYCLOPEDIA ROCKS!!!!!!!

    Hayden told you about it, right?

    Type in “Zorba the Greek” next time to see how the world is really going to end!!!!

  • don’t forget you have the topic today!

  • haha. No, I don’t think The Message should replace NIV by any means. Actually, I bought it to kind of supplement my NIV; where I can’t understand NIV, the Message clears it up, yet in some areas the NIV translation is clearer. Not sure if that made sense, but I tried!

  • RU oN assid 2????

  • Sounds like a great deal of opinion and heavily culturalized thinking to me, but if it works for you, go for it.
