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 the 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 the Israelites were to make. During the 40-year journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, Miriam the prophetess, the older sister of Aaron and Moses, 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' aide and 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. Deborah was a prophetess and wife. Over 100 years after 110-year-old Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, Deborah was the judge leading the Israelites. Over 40 years after Gideon became the judge leading the Israelites, Ruth became a widow and started working in the fields to provide for herself and her mother-in-law Naomi, a widow. Boaz noticed Ruth and became Ruth's husband. Obed was born was Boaz and Ruth. Jesse was born to Obed. David was the 8th son born to Jesse. Over a decade after David was born, Samuel the priest, prophet and judge from the tribe of Jacob's 3rd born son Levi, the birth tribe of Miriam, Aaron and Moses, anointed David to reign as king, according to the command of the Lord God. Sometime thereafter, David began serving as a musician and an armor-bearer for King Saul, the reigning ruler. After David killed and beheaded Goliath the gigantic Philistine, David and Jonathan, Saul's son made a covenant. The Israelite women sang of David higher than they sang of Saul, and Saul was angry. Saul wanted to kill David, and became afraid of David, and sent David on missions to get killed, and commanded others, including Jonathan, to kill David. Saul's daughter Michal was married to David and helped David escape from their home. Saul arranged for Michal to become the wife of Palti (Phalti/Paltiel/Phaltiel). Abigail was the wife of Nabal. In Carmel, Abigail used her intelligence, household goods, and gracious words to save Nabal's life and the lives of Nabal's men. After Nabal died, Abigail was married to David. 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. Over 100 years after Solomon, the 2nd child born to David and Bathsheba, became the 3rd king to rule over all of the Israelites, and 70-year-old David died, Elisha the prophet became proclaiming the words of the Lord God throughout the Promised Land. A woman in Shunem, in the portion of the Promised Land allotted to the tribe of Jacob's 8th born son Issachar, fed Elisha  and arranged with her husband to have a permanent room added to their home for Elisha. Sometime after the son born to the woman and her elderly husband died, Elisha prayed to the Lord God and the Shunnamite woman's dead son began living again. Over 750 years after Elisha died and a dead man began living again after contact with Elisha's bones, John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, were born. John the Baptist was born into the tribe of Levi 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, and testified that Jesus is the Son of God. 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. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that before Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus the Pharisee placed the body of Jesus the Christ in the tomb, Joseph and Nicodemus anointed the body of Jesus the Christ, and 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
