Offerings Without the Beg and Plead

And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him, And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, and Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.-Luke 8:1-3***Many of the women identified throughout the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible are described as diligent workers and good stewards. Rebekah willingly served water to a stranger and his camels before she became the wife of Isaac and daughter-in-law of Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai). Rachel herded the sheep owned by her father Laban the Syrian (Aramean) before she became the 2nd wife of Jacob (Israel), Isaac and Rebekah's youngest fraternal twin son. Before Zipporah became the wife of Moses, she worked with her sisters drawing water for their father's sheep. In the desert wilderness of Sinai, in the region of Mount Sinai, months after Moses and his older brother Aaron led the Israelites away from Egyptian slavery, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur, according to the commands of the Lord God, numerous Israelite women spun the animal hair needed for the tabernacle that the Lord God told Moses, when Moses was upon Mount Sinai 40 days and nights with the Lord God, that the Israelites were to make. During the 40-year journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, Aaron and Moses' older sister Miriam the prophetess died and was buried in Kadesh, in the desert wilderness of Zin. Upon Mount Hor, 123-year-old Aaron the high  priest died. When Moses went upon Mount Nebo, the Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and 120-year-old Moses the prophet died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' successor from the tribe of Ephraim, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. Over 100 years after 110-year-old Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, Deborah, a prophetess and wife, was the judge leading the Israelites. Over 40 years after Gideon became the judge leading the Israelites, Ruth, a widow, began working in the fields to provide for herself and her mother-in-law Naomi. Over 100 years after Ruth was married to Boaz, Naomi's relative, Abigail, the wife of Nabal, used her intelligence, household goods, and gracious words to save Nabal's life and the lives of Nabal's men. After Nabal died, Abigail became the wife of David, the great-grandson of Boaz and Ruth. When David was 30 years old, he began to reign as king only over the tribe of Jacob's 4th born son Judah, the tribe of his birth. When David was 37 1/2 years old, he became the 2nd king to rule over all of the Israelites. A woman in Shunem, in the portion of the Promised Land allotted to the tribe of Jacob's 8th born son Issachar, fed Elisha the prophet and arranged with her husband to have a permanent room added to their home for Elisha. Over 800 years after Elisha prayed to the Lord God and the Shunnamite woman's dead son began living again, John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, were born. John the Baptist was born into the tribe of Jacob's 3rd born son Levi, the birth tribe of Miriam, Aaron and Moses, to Zechariah (Zacharias) the priest and his wife Elizabeth (Elisabeth). Jesus the Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Elizabeth's relative Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. On the 8th day after John the Baptist was born, he was circumcised, and on the 8th day after Jesus the Christ was born, Jesus was circumcised, according to the covenant of circumcision that the Lord God gave Abraham. When Mary was purified according to the laws that the Lord God gave Moses for the Israelites, Joseph and Mary took Jesus to Jerusalem. Righteous and devout Simeon held Jesus in his arms, and blessed the Lord God, and blessed the family. Anna the prophetess praised the Lord God and spoke of Jesus to others. Approximately 30 years after John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ were born, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Susanna and other women financially helped the ministry of Jesus the Christ. Less than 3 1/2 years after Jesus was baptized, Jesus was betrayed by Judas Iscariot, the disciple and apostle, and Jesus was arrested. Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Susanna, and other women were not far away when Jesus was crucified, and several of the women went to anoint the body of Jesus after the body of Jesus was buried in a tomb. On the 3rd day after Jesus was crucified, Jesus was resurrected. Mary Magdalene was the 1st of over 500 people to see Jesus. On the 40th day after Jesus was resurrected, Jesus was returned to heaven.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-5:31, Ruth, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings 1:1-8:6, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 10:1-29:30,  Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
