Manna
Hebrews 9:4
2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. 3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; 4 which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; 5 and over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercy seat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. 6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.
Exodus 16:3X
32 And Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.
33 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations.
Joshuah 5:12
And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
Numbers 11:6-9
But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes. 7 And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium. 8 And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil. 9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
Nehemiah 9:15-20 KJV and gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them. But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments, and refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not. Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations; yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein they should go. Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.
John 6:31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
Spirits speak without speaking, and you hear them without listening.
Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
Deueteronomy 8:3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.
Genesis 3 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. 8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
Psalm 1:2-3 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Revelation 10 The Fruit, The Storm, And The Nearing Prophecy Of The End Of Time ( A Real Storm Is Coming ) 850
Revelation Chapter 10 1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. 4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. 5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, 6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: 7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. 8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. 9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. 11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
A lot of false teachers online are trying to justify magic and occult practices.. Don't fall for this nonsense. If you see someone with a poster of Shiva( a false God or Idol), or in any type of violation of the bible, and they're sharing bible verses to try to OK some type of practice that you're looking for biblical permission to engage in, then you should not listen to them. Thou shalt have no other Gods before him. and thou shalt certainly not believe the words of a prophet that has other God's before him.
Look, a lot of people are not aware of the connection that psychedelic drugs have with the occult ( new age occultism counts ) . Regardless of how "angelic" something is made to appear((2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.)), one should note that psychedelic drugs open you up to the spirit world. { Luke 8:17 There is no secret that shall not be revealed, nor anything hidden that shall not be made manifest }
If you're not abiding in God, you will encounter fallen angels ( ministering spirits of Lucifer ) Psalm 91:1(911) NASB He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High God, will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. 91:3 For it is HE who delivers you from the snare of the trapper and from the deadly pestilence.
Is there evidence that the saints were consuming psilocybin mushrooms? In my opinion, Yes. That does NOT however, justify that occult practices which people often engage in while using such substances are ok.. Shamans used psychedelic drugs to practice divination, and spirit communication, and even necromancy, and these things are clearly and definitely forbidden in the book of Deuteronomy 18: There shall not be found among you anyone who practices divination, shamanism(sorcery), the use of drugs to engage in the magical arts. (I paraphrased, it doesn't use those exact words, but I am just elaborating to its meaning) Stuff like visualizations is an occult practice. Be CAREFUL! Something as innocent seeming as "visualization" is used in witchcraft, and shamanism. Please note that Shamanism is sorcery, and is another form of Witchcraft, just appears more innocent to many, and less creepy. You should consult with the bible for clarification on such things, and if you're still confused, Ask God to answer you in a dream. God can communicate in dreams. ( Job 33:14-18 )
God spoke to Moses through a burning bush, in the book of Revelation chapter 10, John says seven thunders uttered their voices, and he heard a voice from heaven saying unto him "seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered and write them not". A voice from heaven told him to go unto an angel that held a little book in his hands, and he went unto the angel and said unto him, "give me the little book", and the angel said unto him "take it, and eat it up.. it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey, but it shall be in thy belly bitter." He took the book and ate it up and the angel then said "thou must prophecy again before many peoples and nations and tounges and kings".
In Ezekiel 4:15-17 It mentions preparing "bread" with COW DUNG(psilocybin mushrooms grow in Cow poop) "Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith. 16 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment: 17 That they may want bread and water, and be astonied one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.
Do not take any of the bible verses that I post as some sort of biblical permission to engage in new age occult practices. Deuteronony 18 is very clear, there shall not be found among you anyone who practices divination magic sorcery shamanism etc. (visualization, meditation, those are all occult practices.) The bible tell us to meditate on Gods word." So I see evidence of such, but the saints of the bible were not atheist, they were not new agers, and they hearkened unto the voice of the Lord thy God. I still can't suggest to anyone that it is ok to do this. I can definitely say that it leads to an interest in the occult. Most peoples interest in new age occultism begins with some type of psychedelic experience. You've been warned. Psalm 91:1 and keep in mind Psalm 90:11 "Even according to thy fear, so too is thy wrath."
This guys right about a lot of things. One thing I must disagree with though, is I wish people would give God credit. There are dangers to using these substances, but God makes everything for a reason, even if it's to put the fear of him into you so that you'll turn to him and cry out to him. He knows what he is doing. You should acknowledge God gave it a purpose at the same time. You can not idolize something and not insult his handy work at the same time. Also I wish he would acknowledge that Cannabis has a purpose, and the psychoactive effects have a purpose as well. Do people turn it into an idol and use it in a way that's an abomination way? Yes. We don't insult what he's done, nor do we idolize it. Give him credit.
