My mothers bookmark and her favourite psalm. The bible belonged to my great, great grandfather who was born in 1817 and married in 1842, exactly 100 years before I arrived.

John 7:37 Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. 38 The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’”
Isaiah 32 15 till the Spirit is poured on us from on high,
and the desert becomes a fertile field,
and the fertile field seems like a forest.
16 The Lord’s justice will dwell in the desert,
his righteousness live in the fertile field.
17 The fruit of that righteousness will be peace;
its effect will be quietness and confidence forever.
18 My people will live in peaceful dwelling places,
in secure homes,
in undisturbed places of rest.

Messiah in the Gilboa - photo by Oded Israeli 2011
Translating the verse as "Lord's anointed" is actually an interpretation- the literal meaning is Messiah (in Hebrew Mashiach - משיח).

In the biblical Song of Songs 2.1, exegesis has it that Jesus - Christ - refers to himself as a Rose of Sharon. There's been a lot of debate about the precise flower that would be. One of the options is the Hibiscus syriacus. My photo doesn't picture it but rather a Hibiscus chinensis, the Chinese Hibiscus, and a hybrid at that. It's Christmas Day! Enjoy!
Taking his cue from the Bible, or more precisely, from the experience of the prophets that produced biblical speech, Heschel offers a literary analysis of how religious words can function as “hyphens between heaven and earth,”135 a claim that implies a formal connection between the two.
-Sophia The Hidden Christ of Thomas Merton, Christopher Pramuk
The metaphor is a concrete image that alludes to another reality, based upon some analogy between the two terms. The “vehicle” of the metaphor is the term (or image) that appears in the text, alluding to the “tenor,” the absent reality or concept. Metaphor may be used to express something less known, abstract, or even unknown, by something more familiar: for example, “A mighty fortress is our God.” A fortress alludes to one particular aspect of the Deity, seen from a definitely human perspective. The common quality that enables the metaphorical equation or comparison is the “ground” of the metaphor, here God’s strength and stability. Heschel depicts the “ground” of the biblical metaphor as a “hyphen between heaven and earth,” since it hints to what is ultimately real. The vehicle and tenor themselves remain incomplete representations of their referents, for they must emphasize, in order to intensify them, only certain characteristics. In this sense as well, Heschel avers that religious assertion functions as understatement, for the vehicle of language can never completely express the divine tenor.

I found this Bible here and it gave the place a friendly peace. Maybe it should also prevent evil spirits to visit this place.
At any rate, I have not changed anything in this place. Only the title of the book freed from the patina and ... photographed
Bible Rock (Batalegala in the Sinhala language) is a mountain near the town of Aranayake in Kegalle District in central Sri Lanka. It derives its name "Bible rock" from its resemblance to a book on a lectern.
Bible Rock Trail is considered a hard hike that covers 4.7 mi, with an elevation gain of 1,952 ft. It takes about 3.5–4 hr to complete. Hard trails usually cover longer distances, and may have long or steep climbs or more difficult obstacles.is rock can be seen when passing the Kadugannawa pass.
I believe this building dates back to the 1920’s, and was originally home to Vallejo’s First Presbyterian Church. When that congregation moved to a larger building in 1952 it was purchased by the Vallejo Bible Church.
