Good evening. Great is His faithfulness.
Mark 6:35-38
35 When the day was now far spent, His disciples came to Him and said, “This is a deserted place, and already the hour is late. 36 Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves [a]bread; for they have nothing to eat.”
37 But He answered and said to them, “You give them something to eat.”
And they said to Him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?”
38 But He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.”
And when they found out they said, “Five, and two fish.”
See also Mark 6:30-44; Luke 9:10-17; John 6:1-14
Jesus feeding the GREAT MULITITUDE of His people is resciment of the Israelites being fed by God in the wilderness after their liberation from Egypt (Exodus 16). The Church Fathers (The Apostles) see this as an image of the Eucharist which is made clear in (John 6). See Matthew 15:32-39, here Jesus feeds four thousand people will only seven loaves and a few fish. Some modern scholars have tried to say these are the same event, but witness of the gospel tells they are two different accounts, even Christ Himself referring to both of them separately see also Matthew 16:8-10. MOVED WITH COMPASSION is used often concerning the Lord (Matthew 20:34: Luke 7:13: and Mark 1:41; Mark 6:34). This is showing us His power and authority are given to those who suffer.
The Fathers (Apostles) teach the FIVE LOAVES indicate the five books of the Law (Genesis- Deuteronomy), and our broken open in Christ and so feed the universe. TWO FISH represents the Gospel Book and the Eptistle Book, the teaching of the fishermen. The gathering of the leftovers by the apostles is showing teaching the faithful are unable to grasp are nevertheless held in the consciousness of the Church.
Psalm 6
Teaches the Church, all the faithful the Spirit of humility, and the faithful should pray, "Lord have mercy," for this prayer is great for confession, repentance, and forgiveness.
Orthodox Study Bible -Psalm 6:3-5 - (the other version is Psalm 6:2-4)
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak;O Lord, heal me, for my bones are troubled.3 My soul also is greatly troubled;But You, O Lord—how long?
4 Return, O Lord, deliver me! (My Orthodox Study Bible reads, "Return, O Lord, and deliver my soul.")
These verse led me to reflect on how what's bad is now good and what's good is now bad. And I said how we are living the just like the days of Noah. I spoke how the world is heading into a nihilistic society, here is a link of a video on YouTube I did discussing Nihilism, and read 2 Timothy 3 and spoke about the people of the LAST DAYS (https://youtu.be/3fNd1iA4sxw DAY 21: FIND - (Mat 10:39- 2Ti 3:1-9) Moral Decline in The Last Days- The Age Nihilism is Rising…
Numbers 6:24-26
“The Lord bless you and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
26 The Lord [a]lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.” ’
