A covenant of salome is extended to Pinchas after he follows the mandate given by God to impale those who joined themselves to Baal Peor. He does so with the zeal of the Lord, (i.e. to disdain what God disdains, in favor of righteousness) and God commends him and gives him a covenant of salome. Perhaps we need to revisit our understanding of what salome is and how it applies to our life today. Afterall, it is part of the Beatitudes and the fruits of the spirit. Jesus made a covenant of salome with us in John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Kevin Ivey and Thomas Beaver come together to discuss and discover God's weekly devotional known as Torah Portions. The question on the table is always a very simple one, with often times deep and profound impact: "What Is It?" This we can tell you will be fresh and new every week. We call it, Adventures in Torah!
The purpose is to get the people of the church interacting with each other and with us as to answer the question, what is it to you...this week?
We would encourage people to interact with one another on this channel by leaving your comments regarding each portion discussed and if you'd like, please subscribe.
Thank you for sharing this with your friends and other believers; start talking about the Bible.
