Great stuff Daniel and Mercie!
Luk 24:31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
I never seen the importance of this verse before. What an eye opener! :lol:
They "saw" Him before their eyes were opened but when their eyes were opened and they "knew him" He vanished out of their sight.
Amazing!

Dont Those scriptures Just Jump out at you.
Mat 13:16 But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
Faith cometh By Hearing.
Luk 6:20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed [be ye] poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
Luk 10:23 And he turned him unto [his] disciples, and said privately, Blessed [are] the eyes which see the things that ye see:
1Ki 1:48 And also thus said the king, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, which hath given [one] to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing [it].
Dan 4:34 And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion [is] an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom [is] from generation to generation
Amazing it is.
Andy_MI:
This came to mind while meditating on Luke24:31
Act 9:1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
Act 9:2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
Act 9:3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
Act 9:4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Act 9:5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
Act 9:6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
Act 9:7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
Act 9:8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
Act 9:9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink. Act 9:10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
Act 9:11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
Act 9:12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
Act 9:13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
Act 9:14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
Act 9:15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
Act 9:16 For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
Act 9:17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
Act 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

Blessed are your eyes! amen Mercie :D
Heres a few I saw as I read your post. These were quickened to me.
Ecc 1:18 For in much wisdom is much grief[/u]: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.[/u]
Job 17:7 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.[/u]
The law having a "shadow" of the good things
Symbolic of?
Ecc 11:10 Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.[/u]
1Cr 13:8 whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.[/u]
Ephes 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.[/u] :idea:
That which even All knowledge is "in part" and to be "done away" in our experience. Even knowledge itself, for that (even ALL) is in part, until the "perfect COME". Which IS the fulness of the love of God in us, who is our LIFE, JOY and our COMFORT and even to LAUGH
Contast that with this
Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.[/u]
Isaac means "laughter" I believe.
Luke 6:21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.[/u]
Prov 10:22 The blessing of the LORD, IT maketh RICH, and he addeth NO SORROW to it.[/u]
Though there are two divided messages within the beattitudes, wonderful things hidden! :wink:
Prov 13:7 There is that maketh himself rich, YET hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, YET hath great riches.[/u]
2Cr 6:10 As "sorrowful", YET always rejoicing; AS poor, YET making many rich; AS having nothing, and YET possessing all things.[/u]
Prov 23:4 Labour not "to be rich": cease from "thine own wisdom".
Prov 28:32 He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and "considereth not" that poverty shall come upon him.[/u]
Mathew 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Ye SAY ye are RICH but ye are poor blind and naked (He only maketh himself out to be)
Luke 1:53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich sent away empty.[/u]
WITHOUT LOVE we are NOTHING. Such simple truths signified everywhere.
Praise be to God!
Peace
Daniel
