Hebraic
Musing - “None of these Diseases…”
(Reprint of Hebraic Insight 4/9/09)
God gave us the Torah or
Pentateuch (gr.), as a teaching on how to live, and in it he said to us "If thou wilt diligently hearken
to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in
his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his
statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which
I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that Healeth thee.."
·
Lepers were quarantined as we are instructed in
Lev.13:46. The unclean has to dwell
outside the camp. Yet the concept of
quarantine to control spread of disease is relatively new.
·
Washing hands to avoid passing deadly germs was
not practiced by our medical profession until the mid 1800’s. God told the priests in
·
God instituted ‘circumcision’ among His
men. While there are many Spiritual
reasons being taught, it is a fact that in Israel, cervical cancer amongst the
women is very rare.
·
Also, God required ‘circumcision’ to be
performed on the 8th day. It
seems that God, our creator, also knew that was the day the clotting capability
of a boy’s blood is at its best. And
science only discovered that recently.
But our omniscient God knew!
·
God has often been accused of not being with the
times re sexual freedom. Yet He had
strict rules regarding virginity and selection of marriage partners. He already knew the harm to befall us by
exercising sexual freedom. We are
learning this in the rampant rise of STD’s and Aids in our increasingly
promiscuous society; and we’ve lost the sanctity of the marriage bed. And widespread reliance on abortion is the
result!
·
How many times did God say “but do not eat the
fat.”? God already understood Arterial
Sclerosis!
·
God’s prohibition to avoid pork and other of the
world’s natural ‘scavengers’ as unclean has been documented as the prime cause
for many of today’s ills – diabetes, cholesterol, obesity, heart disease, food
poisoning, etc. The Jews and followers
of the Torah are known for their Kosher diet as-well-as for their health. (This warrants a whole separate “Insight”)
·
“God loves a cheerful giver.” Did you know that a highly nervous, fearful
person’s blood clots in about 1/5th the time of a cheerful, happy person? Blood clots are the cause of coronary
thrombosis, most common form of heart attack.
·
Causes of Psychosomatic illnesses are Anger,
Stress, Hate, Grudges, etc. These are
things the Christian should not have to deal with.
Point to ponder
Everything a good Father tells His
children to do is for their own good.
Isn’t the Creator the best author of an “Owner’s Manual”
for our Bodies?
Why not consult His “Owner’s Manual”, the Bible?
“Praise the LORD, O my soul
... and forget not all his benefits ... and heals all your diseases.” Psalm 103:1-3

Most of these topics above are described in great detail - Highly recommended
to appreciate how our Loving Creator tries to keep His Hebrew children healthy
– like a good parent should. Since Jew
and Gentile are one in Messiah, we Gentile Christians have access to all God’s
parental advice in His Torah.
