BIBLE DAYS FASHIONS!

Egyptian Hieroglyphics Depicting Elaborate Adornments   








I watch a TV show sometimes that talks about make up and fashion.  Some days I can't stand to watch it  for fear of becoming vain.I want to look good and be conscious of new fashion trends. I am smart enough to know every fashion  trend does not look good on  everybody.  I do not desire to be a fashionista and I do not want to dress like my mother either.

I must say that I respect the Lord and try to go to church modestly dressed.  I am not saying churches need a dress code. But, I am amazed at some of the clothes people wear to church! I would not wear the same clothes that I use when jogging or cleaning my  garage or house.  I would never wear a mini skirt and provocative skin tight clothes either. The wearing of  tops or dresses with a lot of cleavage is a no-no for me too.There is some clothing that is not appropriate
for work and the same goes for the church too.

The following Bible scriptures discuss vanity
and clothing:



LIFE LESSON:

DON'T SPEND A LOT ON TIME ON LOOKING BEAUTIFUL.FOCUS ON PLEASING THE LORD.



PROVERBS  31:30 
Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.


PSALM  119:37

Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things,
And revive me in Your way.



1 TIMOTHY  2:9

In like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest
apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold
 or pearls or costly clothing,


1 PETER  3:3

Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting 
on fine apparel—


JEREMIAH  4:30 

And when you are plundered,
What will you do?
Though you clothe yourself with crimson,
Though you adorn yourself with ornaments of gold,
Though you enlarge your eyes with paint,
In vain you will make yourself fair;
Your lovers will despise you;
They will seek your life.


ECCLESIASTES  5:10 

He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver;
Nor he who loves abundance, with increase.
This also is vanity.



1 PETER  3:3  

Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair,
wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel—



Women have been into fashion since Bible days.
I discovered this when I was doing research for
my blog, Bible Stories Are True.  Numerous hair
ornaments and priceless jewels have been found
by archaeologists in the Middle East.  Here are 
some images of their discoveries:

Pair of Gold Hair Ornaments, Mesopotamian,
circa 2000 BC 




An Egyptian 18th Dynasty Pharaonic era princess' crown


 


Amulet pendant (1254 BC) made from  gold, lapis lanzuli, turquoise, carnelian and 14 cm wide.
 Gold Earring From  Mycenae, 16th Century BC.
Hellenistic bracelets from the 1st century BC 
Byzantine Wedding Ring




Jewelry Found In Jerusalem 614 A.D in 2013

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)

ADAM & EVE'S FAMILY TREE

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h
