is the shortest of the 4 Gospels. It epitomizes Jesus as the "ox",
representing one of the four heads of the four creatures at the
beginning of Ezekiel chapter 1. It shows forth Jesus in His servant
spirit. Issachar is the tribe of Israel represented by the donkey, a
faithful and valued animal in the Middle East - wise and sure-footed
in the dark. Faithfulness, sensitivity and obedience are attributes
of the First Nations People, who relate to Issachar. All 12 tribes
and all 12 related peoples are necessary for the fulfillment of God's
purposes. Remember Judges 19-21. </span></span></span></font>

16:9-20 is perhaps the most controversial portion of the New

seems that Satan has a special vendetta to have this portion omitted.</span></span></span></font></p>
