The Amazon….
is becoming an eye Opener?
For over two hundred years science believed that the peoples of the Amazonas region were settled in their respective tribal land and villages of many types, including boat houses and gardens!
But what is being discovered most were nomadic and only returning to some places to worship their respective gods, while other constructed cites with pyramids and mass storage, only to move on a few years later and never come back?
It was probably the weather that forced these city dwellers to move, while it could be too many snakes and hostile animals for others, but our conceptions of travelers remains too narrow minded!
2 Samuel 7:6, Job 39:25, Psalm 107:4, 138:6, Proverbs 31:14, Ezekiel 34:6, Hebrews 11:13.

Trees!
From the forest to the Oasis?
The ships of the desert find a resting place by the watering holes in the sand and the shade of the trees to rest from the long and weary journey, while it is also a safe place!
We have a slightly different take in the New Testament to the trees as that of failing to share faith, God will cut you down and off from Salvation?
Genesis 1:11-12, Exodus 15:27, Matthew 3:10, Luke 3:9, Hebrews 7:25, 9:26-27, 10:26-29, Revelation 7:3.

Camping in the Open!
Yirts, Wigwams, Tents of various Kinds?
Not all nomadic people were born or live under the trees, because some places have no trees, deserts sand and Ice, grasslands around the world and various means of coverings have been developed over time for protection both heat and cold, safety from animals and snakes
On the other hand the people of the Altai mountains has only animal coverings and lay in the forests of the region on a mat of spruce branches so that they could move or hide in the snow when is danger quickly?
Eskimos and others build ice houses, even today on the South pole scientist do the same to break the wind factor that could rip their tents!
When Abram traveled it was across grasslands, the Exodus was a forty year journey around the Sinai a volcanic desert?
Genesis 12:1-18, Exodus 12:33, Job 6:19, Matthew 2:1-16.

Mamre (Mamray)
A plain near to Hebron,
Abram settled in this plain near to Hebron C-Israel and acknowledged God for getting him thus far by building an altar and sacrificing a burnt offering on it!
The origins of the name Mamre is an ancient one of Amorite source as mentioned in Strongs H4471, the meaning being lusty of vigor?
When we have been travelling for some time and find a place of rest then we should worship God by thanking Him for a our safety and a place of rest!
Genesis 13:18, 14:13, 24, Matthew 11;25, Hebrews 3:7.

The Myrtle Trees!
A symbol of purification and new Birth?
Many people confuse this purple flowering tree with Myrrh which is a sweet smelling gum, but this tree is far different and is a symbol of hope and victory over the evil of the nation, land that cannot prevail in the power of God!
The tops of the trees are ruffled and continue to be today as the Holy Spirit is moving to bring souls to salvation across the world, they may not as yet flutter here again, but the conditions are rife for the blessings to come?
Isaiah 55:13, John 3:3, 14-21, 14:27,

God is our Canopy!
He is our refuge in our times of Need?
The world is always trusting in themselves, in what they can and have achieved and they laugh at us thinking we are stupid, more a reflection of their own attitudes?
But we who have faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus know that our God is a canopy over us and a refuge in our times of need!
Isaiah 4:5-6, 25:4, Revelation 7:15.

Scavage!
Old habits die Hard?
Generally most people in the world who are settled do not understand why travelling peoples have to scavage, but perhaps they should take note of people across India and Africa, who need to make money to buy food!
There is much brass in muck and with this consumer age of waste, much to be reclaimed and sold on in scrap from white goods to computer parts and much that can be recycled?
Genesis 41:33, Nehemiah 4:2, Job 27:16, Matthew 7:8, Luke 14:35. Philippians 3:8.

The abundance of the Heart!
Comes good and Evil?
Jesus tells to us that good cannot come from evil and that we will be known by our fruits!
This is quiet a challenge for all of us who share the Lord, when we can, but it is also about having good fruit and not allowing the enemy to steal it from us?
Evil people cannot serve God, but we have to warn them of their eventual destiny and bring them to repentance, it is not easy to speak to them, neither is it easy to speak and share with the weeds in our fellowships who refuse to serve?
Matthew 12:33-34, Luke 6:44-45, John 1:4-5.

Our need to Witness!
It does not matter what people think of us?
The many people who hate travelers are the walking dead, cold to sympathy and that even to their own, they also are probably mean as they think that they are good living!
But as believers we have a responsibility to share our faith with all without bias and the benefits are in the Eternity for us, but to captures a soul also has its blessings on this side too in helping us to be in serving our Lord Jesus?
Proverbs 3:18, 11:30, Daniel 12:13, 1 Corinthians 9:19-22, James 11:20.

Please Leave?
The cause of Fear!
For many a traveler to be asked to leave a place is nothing strange and here in the New Testament of the Holy Bible we have one instant in which Jesus is asked to leave! Matthew 8:34.
And in the other the Apostle Paul is also asked to leave, after they witnessed the power of God manifested! Acts 16:39.
Many believers who have parked up in their respective vehicles have been asked by scared people to move on, if they overstay their allotted time on the other hand people fear robbery, or being attacked?
