Philippians 4:10–19
Philippian Generosity
10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last (2 Cor. 11:9; Phil. 2:30) your (you have revived your care) care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, you lacked opportunity. 
11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, (2 Cor. 9:8; 1 Tim. 6:6, 8; Heb. 13:5) to be content: 
12 (1 Cor. 4:11) I know how to ( live humbly) be abased, and I know how to (live in prosperity) abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 
13 I can do all things ( John 15:5) through (NU Him who) Christ who strengthens me.
14 Nevertheless, you have done well that (Phil. 1:7) you shared in my distress. 
15 Now you Philippians know also that [at] the beginning of the gospel when I departed from Macedonia, (2 Cor. 11:8, 9) no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only. 
16 For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities. 
17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek (Titus 3:14) the fruit that abounds to your account. 
18 Indeed I (Or have received all) have all and abound. I am full, having received from (Phil. 2:25) Epaphroditus the things sent from you, (Heb. 13:16) a sweet-smelling aroma, (Rom. 12:1; 2 Cor. 9:12) an acceptable sacrifice, [well-pleasing] to God. 
19 And my God (Ps. 23:1; 2 Cor. 9:8) shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Furnishings of the Tabernacle . ‎The book of Exodus details the construction of the tabernacle and its furnishings. As Yahweh’s sanctuary, the tabernacle served as God’s dwelling place among the Israelites—the expression of the covenant between Yahweh and His people ( Exod 25:8–9 ).

A Threshing Floor

Image
A Threshing Floor In the ancient world, farmers used threshing floors to separate grain from its inedible husk (chaff) by beating it with a flail or walking animals on it—sometimes while towing a threshing sledge. Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.

Modern Mount Calvary

Modern Mount Calvary ‎Great authorities are marshaled in favor of both claimants—the church within and the mound without the walls. For a long time, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was the only traditional spot pointed out as the place of burial. But with the growing influence of the Grotto of Jeremiah, the modern Mount Calvary, a picture of which we give, increased in favor. This whole discussion as to the place where Christ was crucified, and as to the tomb in which His body was placed, turns upon the direction which the walls about Jerusalem took at the time of the crucifixion. If the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was outside the wall at that time, as Dean Stanley thinks it might have been, the chances in favor of its being the place of crucifixion and burial are increased. If, however, the site of this church was inside the wall at that time it is sure that the place of burial and crucifixion was not there, for Christ was crucified outside of the walls of Jerusalem. And ...
