Comments on: The Prodigal Daughter http://alicenah.wordpress.com/2007/06/11/the-prodigal-daughter/ imaginative journeys through the world Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:06:38 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Hanok http://alicenah.wordpress.com/2007/06/11/the-prodigal-daughter/#comment-294 Hanok Sun, 23 Aug 2009 06:35:28 +0000 http://alicenah.wordpress.com/2007/06/11/the-prodigal-daughter/#comment-294 Shalom Alice, Just recently... I started working on an article in regards to the Luke 15 Prodigal Son Parable and was searching to see what others were writing on the subject. Your post grabbed my attention because of the "The Prodigal Daughter" title. I like how you made a very personal connection to the parable and love the image in the post. What I find interesting is this. Yeshua/Jesus was referring to "a people" in a proverbial sense who was also referred to as a "woman" in other prophetic passages (although in Luke 15, they are referred to as a "son"). Yeshua was primarily speaking about the ancient Northern Kingdom of Israel, sometimes referred to proverbially as "Ephraim" collectively, while the southern kingdom was generally referred to as Judah (or Jew-dah). Judah would of course be represented by the older, more faithful, but jealous brother. To get to my point, look how in Jeremiah 3, both the people of Ephraim and the people of Judah are referred to as sisters and daughters. Also, the entire book of Hosea is generally referring to "Ephraim" as the adulterous woman, who was stripped and sent into captivity, but were promised to one day come home. Hoping you'll find that aspect of Luke 15 interesting. The wonderful thing about Scripture is how it can speak to us all on multiple levels, without ever really contradicting itself. If you care to read my article, I published it here: http://jewsandjoes.com/the-prodigal-son-parable-luke-15-a-prophetic-macro-timeline-of-ephraim-in-last-days.html In Messiah Yeshua, Hanok ben-Isaak Shalom Alice,

It crushed me. My daughter and I have had issues as she got older, 18, but the foundation, in heart will never waver. This image blew me away as it portrays exactly how I feel. How wonderful to see art so accurately illuminate the sadness and joy in our lives. This will only come to strengthen both of us. I came across this looking for a Prodigal product for a client.

I read this and it brought tears to my eyes. If you are not familiar with NaNoWrimo - National Novel Writing Month - the challenge is to complete a free for all writing project of 50,000 words or more by the end of Nov. 30 at midnight. I am only close to 9k in my writing project and have decided to just blog each chapter as I write it here at wordpress http://memoiroftheprodigalson.wordpress.com It is definitely refreshing to read this blog. Even, though I read this a year plus later. Thank you for posting this. Timothy I just happened across this blog because I was searching for an image for a banner.

You might want to contact them (see http://www.htb.org.uk/htb-bookshop) and ask if they have a distributor in the USA, or whether they can send it to you. Charlie Mackesey just gave a talk at HTB (6 January 2008) which can be downloaded by looking at http://www.htb.org.uk/downloads. He is great to listen to! Warm wishes to you Alice Hiya Robin
