Pharaoh - blessed by Jacob : Gen. 47:7-10

✪ It goes without saying that this is not the Pharaoh of the Exodus.


Pharaoh - divine - claimed : Ex. 3:11; Ex. 5:1-2

"It would be distressing enough to stand before the monarch of the greatest empire on earth with an unpopular request. Add to this the fact, however, that he was not considered to be only a man, or even a mere representative of the gods, but himself divine. It is no wonder that Moses devised several excuses to avoid this confrontation. The Pharaoh was believed to be the incarnation and patron of the falcon-god Horus, and therefore a god in his own right. In addition, he was also considered to be the physical son of the sun-god Re." Jerry M. Hullinger, A Reexamination of Pharaoh’s Hard Heart with regard to Egyptian Religion, Ref-0785, Vol. 16 No. 47 April 2012, 23-40, p. 29.

Pharisee : Paul - Pharisee; Pharisee - meaning
Pharisee - meaning : John 7:47-49

"The root meaning of “Pharisee” is uncertain. It is probably related to the Hebrew word parash and Aramaic perash (one who separates). From whom did the Pharisees separate? From those, especially priests and clerics, whose interpretation of the law was different from theirs? From the common people of the land (John 7:47-49)? From Gentiles or Jews who embraced Hellenistic culture? Or from certain political groups? All these would be included in the Pharisees’ determination to separate themselves from the types of impurity proscribed by Levitical law or, more specifically, by their strict understanding of it. Another explanation suggests that “Pharisee” is a nickname derived from a Grecianized from of “Persian”; the Pharisees’ opponents used it in accusing them of introducing foreign (especially Iranian) doctrines into Judaism." Ref-1200, pp. 202-203.

phylactery : Ex. 13:9; Ex. 13:16; Deu. 6:8-9; Isa. 49:16; Sos. 8:6

Tefillin (phylacteries) are small tightly rolled scrolls that contain passages from Exodus and Deuteronomy. They were placed in boxes that were tied to the head or left arm. The mezuzot were placed in ornamental cases that were attached to the doorpost of a house. Ref-0025, p. 279. "Pieces of parchment inscribed with texts from the Torah are enclosed in the Tefillin, two tiny boxes with leather straps. One box is strapped to the left arm leaving free the right arm to hold the Tzizith during study and prayer when appropriate. The second box is placed against the forehead, centered between the eyes, and its straps are knotted at the back of the head. The ritual of the wareing of the Tefillin is a call to remember and memorialize what God has done. The Tefillin, when worn, is a reminder that what we see, what we do, and what we think should be pleasing to the Holy One of Israel." "Perspectives", Ref-0067, Spring 05, p. 7.

physics - second law of thermodynamics : Gen. 3:15

"The main lesson of the second law of thermodynamics is that physical systems have an overwhelming tendency to be in high-entropy configurations because there are so many ways such states can be realized. And once in such high-entropy states, physical systems have an overwhelming tendency to stay in them. High entropy is the natural state of being. You should never be surprised by or feel the need to explain why any physical system is in a high-entropy state. Such states are the norm. On the contrary, what does need explaining is why any given physical system is in a state of order, a state of low entropy. These states are not the norm. They can certainly happen. But from the viewpoint of entropy, such ordered states are rare aberrations that cry out for explanation." Ref-1294, loc. 3098. "The revelation we’ve come to is that we can trust our memories of a past with lower, not higher, entropy only if the big bang—the process, event, or happening that brought the universe into existence—started off the universe in an extraordinarily special, highly ordered state of low entropy." Ref-1294, loc. 3268. "This unique unidirectional nature of time is called ‘the arrow of time’, a term coined in 1927 by British astronomer Sir Arthur Eddington." Ref-1341, loc. 1805. "almost all the equations and theories of science are symmetrical with respect to time — that is, they hold true whether events are running forwards or backwards in time. For all they care, the clock can go ‘tick-tock’ or ‘tock-tick’, it makes no difference. They contain nothing to indicate what we all know to be true, namely, that we can only move in one direction through time. But Eddington identified one glaring exception — a single physical law that is not indifferent to the direction of time. The law in question is the ‘second law of thermodynamics’, a long-established principle that describes and governs growth in randomness. The law states that while the randomness (technically, the ‘entropy’) of an isolated system may increase with the passage of time or remain unchanged, it can never decrease. Eddington concluded that as far as science is concerned, the arrow of time is a property of entropy alone." Ref-1341, loc. 1807. "Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day; Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories fade away; Change and decay in all around I see; O thou who changest not, abide with me. From the hymn Abide with me by Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847)" Ref-1341, loc. 3785. "Thermodynamics is concerned with systems that utilize energy, work, and heat, as well as their respective relationships. Physicists define three types of thermodynamic systems: isolated, closed, and open. An isolated system exchanges neither matter nor energy with its surroundings. A truly isolated system does not exist as a subset of the universe, but we can approximate an isolated system very closely. A closed system can exchange energy but not matter with its surroundings. An open system may exchange both matter and energy with its surroundings. There are four laws of thermodynamics, called the zeroth (0th) law, first (1st) law, second (2nd) law (sometimes denoted as the “law of entropy”), and third (3rd) law. Each law is briefly defined below: Zeroth: If system A is in thermal equilibrium with system B, and system B is in thermal equilibrium with system C, then systems A and C are in thermal equilibrium. First: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Second: The entropy change of an isolated system can never be negative.1 Third: The entropy of a perfect crystal at absolute zero temperature is equal to zero. It may seem strange that there is a zeroth law, but that law was formulated after some of the other laws were developed. After some of the other laws were recognized, physicists realized that that the principle of the zeroth law was more basic than the others, and so they inserted it before the others. The first law is the familiar conservation of energy principle. Since the discovery in the early twentieth century that mass and energy are equivalent, the first law has been generalized to allow for the conservation of mass-energy, but only in situations where mass-energy conversion is relevant. Unlike the straightforward statements of the zeroth and first laws of thermodynamics, there are many different statements and formulations of the second and third laws." Danny R. Faulkner, The Second Law of Thermodynamics and the Curse, Ref-1402, 6 (2013): 399-407. [http://www.answersingenesis.org/contents/379/arj/v6/second_law_thermodynamics_curse.pdf] accessed 2013113.
