📢 Forum Update - Hello everyone! I've made an improvement to the forum that should make following active discussions much easier. Beginning today, forum topics will display the most recent replies first (while keeping the original topic post at the top), so you no longer have to navigate through multiple pages to find the latest conversation. This change also helps improve the browsing experience in long-running discussions with many pages of replies. If you notice anything that doesn't seem to be working correctly or have any feedback, please let me know. — Richard G. Geri7 LOL! I'm with you, I suppose I wont be eating grasshoppers. But then again if you throw enough honey at something, anythings possible. The grasshopper reference was to an old tv show in the 70's about a shaulin priest. Played by David Carradine. Indeed the idea that we will be able to nurture and continue a personal and intimate relationship with the Lord throughout eternity is awesome. And He with us. Sadly so many of us humans have placed such little regard upon relationships in general. We have a tendency to make it all about us. How Sad! TR I think it depends on the grasshopper .... because Keebler “Grasshopper” mint cookies are mighty good tasting! But if you’re talking about the insect, I agree ... put locust and cockroaches on that list too. Can’t imagine how John the Baptist willingly ate locust! Ugh! I wonder if he will be eating a plate full at the Marriage feast? I kind of feel sorry for the lucky person sitting near him .... Just hope it's not grasshopper! :whistle: TR Perhaps "no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it" means it is an utterly unique name in all the universe. I used to think it meant no one else could ever hear it spoken, but having a name not shared by anyone would be a special honor. Jesus calls Himself "the Bread of Life," and if it is to be taken spiritually, then that would suggest a connection with Christ. Or if it is a literal type of food, it must be something truly delicious. Indeed. Not only will we have a name unique to us, so that when it is spoken we shall immediately know that Jesus calls us. Perhaps for a moment's intimacy. Likewise, when He gives us His new name meant only for us to use and call Him. He will immediately be there to fellowship! As like pet names a husband and wife might have for one another, tender and personal. With regards to hidden manna, that could entail almost anything. No doubt we will have varied fare for the stomach always available to each of us. I don't think it to be a food per se. Personal teaching or instruction not meant for the masses, but rather highly individualized. As we continue our growth in Him, He will continue to impart more revelations about Himself and His heart. That we might become ever more pleasing to Him! Or it seems to me. We shall all then be given a robe, a ring, a crown and a stone! TR
