Really? With that eye on the watch tower of the pyramid I would have thought that you'd have seen EVERY video series. there are some things I don't waste much time on And yet you so very often present information that I've already presented, either here at NIR, or in my video series that you claim not to have seen.

"David hurls a stone from his sling with all his might, and hits Goliath in the center of his forehead." It left a mark. iameye, this is exactly the type of situation where you should have quoted my post with the "quote" function, like this: Instead, you presented my connection as if it were your own. Play nice. Collaborate. Be respectful of your fellow posters. This isn't rocket science, Lucy.

This isn't rocket science, Lucy. goliath en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_JesseThe purpose of the original story was to show up David's identity as the true king of Israel. Post-Classical Jewish traditions stressed Goliath's status as the representative of paganism, in contrast to David, the champion of the God of Israel. Christian tradition gave him a distinctively Christian twist, seeing in David's battle with Goliath the Church's struggle against Satan. lol

In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his place of rest will be glorious. or ".. a rod out of the root of Jesse, and a flower shall rise up...".[2] Flos, pl floris is Latin for flower. Virga is a "green twig", "rod" or "broom", as well as a convenient near-pun with Virgo or Virgin, which undoubtedly influenced the development of the image. ;D Thus Jesus is the Virga Jesse or "shoot of Jesse".

"The patriarch Jesse belonged to the royal family, that is why the root of Jesse signifies the lineage of kings. As to the rod, it symbolises Mary as the flower symbolises Jesus Christ."[5] In the medieval period, when heredity was all-important, much greater emphasis than today was placed on the actual royal descent of Jesus, especially by royalty and the nobility, including those who had joined the clergy. Between them, these groups were responsible for much of the patronage of the arts. The shoot as an attribute acted as a reminder of the prophecy,[7] In the Byzantine world, the Tree figures only as a normal-looking tree in the background of some Nativity scenes, also a reminder to the viewer.[8] Indeed, the Tree was always far more common in Northern Europe, where it may have originated, than Italy. There exist also other forms of representation of the Genealogy of Jesus which do not employ the Jesse Tree, the most famous being that painted in the Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo.
