WAS IT REALLY AN
APPLE?
  
Whether you believe it was
an apple or a pomegranate, food is the centerpiece of Biblical history that
brought about major life changes. The first two major events
in the Bible were directly connected to food.
The first transgression
- eating the forbidden fruit.
Cain killed Able over
a zealous offering to God when his brother's sacrifice was favored.
Whether it was due to the actual offering or because God loved
Able, food was in the midst. Other events that centered around food
include:
Job 1:18...Thy sons and they
daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's
house; And behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness,
and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young
men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
Ruth & Boaz- Ruth 1:22...they
came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
Pharaoh's Dream: Genesis 41:22..And
I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk,
full and good...
Abraham & Sarah feed
angels - Genesis 18:6...And Abraham hastened into the tent unto
Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal,
knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth...
Other important Biblical events
that centered around food include: The Last Supper, Jesus feeding
the multitude.
