Rebellion, faithfulness, and order before the throne
10/29–11/1MEDITATION GARDEN
สวนแห่งการใคร่ครวญ
เดินอย่างสงบท่ามกลางพระคัมภีร์ ปฏิทินยิว และชีวิต
This is not a place to rush toward an answer, but to remain for a while where Scripture, history, and life meet.
Some dates are simply dates. When a biblical theme, the Jewish calendar, and an article already scheduled for publication meet naturally, it may be worth pausing.
You may stay with one meditation for a day, a week, or longer. There is no schedule to catch up with here.ฉบับภาษานี้อยู่ระหว่างจัดทำ ขณะนี้จะแสดงเนื้อหาภาษาอังกฤษ โดยยังคงวันและตำแหน่งเดิมของหน้าไว้
The date is an entrance; Scripture is the ground. Jewish calendar, Torah, Prophets, biblical background, and life may converse here without turning coincidence into proof.
＋ How did this Meditation Garden begin?
Around the beginning of August 2026, Xiaoyang spent several concentrated days writing and organizing articles. The normal rhythm was roughly one publication a day; when more than one article was completed, later pieces were scheduled on the following days.
By mid-August he began, without an earlier plan, to write several pieces more directly for Jewish readers. The article “How Can Jewish Readers Begin Studying the New Testament?” and related pieces therefore fell in mid-September according to the schedule already in place.
Only later did he ask ChatGPT to compare those existing publication dates with the Jewish calendar. Some dates, festivals, synagogue readings, and article themes appeared to resonate in ways worth noticing. Rather than turn those correspondences into proof, he decided to make room for them as a Meditation Garden.
This garden does not treat date correspondences as theological proof and does not require a supernatural interpretation. It simply lets the Jewish calendar, Scripture, articles, and lived experience speak with one another. Scripture itself remains the ground.
＋ Walk slowly along a thematic pathway
Each pathway connects nearby meditations into a larger biblical thread without replacing each day’s date, type, or textual boundaries.

Grave, Hades, Abyss, and lake of fire

從麥比拉洞到無底坑：看得見的墓穴與看不見的拘禁

死亡的終點不是墳墓：為什麼火湖被放在最後審判之後？
What connects this series?這一天不硬找日期對應，而是完成概念序列；啟示錄說死亡和陰間被投入火湖，正顯示它們不應被當成完全相同的東西。

洪水有結束的一天，那麼「死亡」本身也會有終點嗎？
What meets at this historical or traditional point?Chayei Sarah 記下兩位先祖的死亡；一套重要猶太傳統年代計算又把27 Cheshvan視為洪水結束、地乾燥與出方舟之日，適合反思審判與死亡是否都有終點。

黑暗有邊界：真正值得問的不是邪靈有多強，而是我向誰俯伏
What meets in this festival?從死亡的邊界轉向敬拜的中心：研究黑暗權勢不應使邪靈成為注意力中心，更深的問題是人真正敬畏、信靠並向誰俯伏。

石頭不是重點，敬拜才是：我把終極價值交給了誰？
What does this mirror reveal?希伯來聖經對偶像的批判不只涉及雕像材質，也逼問人把終極價值交給誰；同一面鏡子也照向可能把宗派、領袖、成功、系統或經驗絕對化的基督徒。

血是生命、祭物，還是通道？先分清經文與我們的推論
