Why Did Jesus Fold the Napkin?

Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His resurrection? I never noticed this....

The Gospel of John (20:7) tells us that the napkin, which was placed over the face of Jesus, was not just thrown aside like the grave clothes.

The Bible takes an entire verse to tell us that the napkin was neatly folded, and was placed at the head of that stony coffin.

Early Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance.

She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved.. She said, 'They have taken the Lord's body out of the tomb, and I don't know where they have put him!'

Peter and the other disciple ran to the tomb to see. The other disciple out ran Peter and got there first. He stopped and looked in and saw the linen cloth lying there, but he didn't go in.

Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside. He also noticed the linen wrappings lying there, while the cloth that had covered Jesus' head was folded up and lying to the side.

Was that important? Absolutely!

Is it really significant? Yes!

In order to understand the significance of the folded napkin, you have to understand a little bit about Hebrew tradition of that day.

The folded napkin had to do with the Master and Servant, and every

Jewish boy knew this tradition.

When the servant set the dinner table for the master, he made sure that it was exactly the way the master wanted it.

The table was furnished perfectly, and then the servant would wait, just out of sight, until the master had finished eating, and the servant would not dare touch that table, until the master was finished.

Now if the master were done eating, he would rise from the table, wipe his fingers, his mouth, and clean his beard, and would wad up that napkin and toss it onto the table.

The servant would then know to clear the table. For in those days, the wadded napkin meant, "I'm finished."

But if the master got up from the table, and folded his napkin, and laid it beside his plate, the servant would not dare touch the table, because..........

The folded napkin meant,

"I'm coming back."

Jeremiah 4: 22 (God speaking)

For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are SOTTISH children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

Where did you hear this rapture lie from? Take some time out and listen to this and then STUDY and look it up for yourselves.

There will be some that God tells to depart from Him, that He never knew you. Don't let the deception taught today put you in that situation.

have heard what they believe? Have you ever heard this?

We are supposed to stay in the field, the world until Christ returns. We are supposed to put on the full armor and stand for God. God tells us that He's against those who teach His souls to fly to save their soul. Where did you hear about this rapture when it's not in Gods Word?

What did you think?

in the Hebrew and Greek to get a deeper meaning of Gods truth?

Eariler today someone ask about "speaking in tongues". The translation of the word in the Greek means: a language(spec. one naturally unacquired):tongue, "dialect": language, tongue.

Naturally unaquired means the tongue/language you were born into as to the language you were brought up into.

Many seem to "think" of it as some sort of babble(confusion) of languages and something they have to "work" at. And they say it's a "gift" from God. Did they learn this from their "preacher" or is it IN Gods word? If you are learning another language than the one you were born into, then yes you have to work at learning it( and that's a gift from God); and if you don't know the language of a country you may be visiting, then it's good to have or take an interpreter. Since Jesus Christ is our PERFECT EXAMPLE, I'd like for one of these to show me scripture when Jesus spoke something other than Hebrew.
