NOT EMPTY
***
“And they said, “If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return Him a trespass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why His hand is not removed from you.” (1st Samuel 6:3)

Reminds me of “Teach Your Children the Right Passwords!” — about brood parasitism: https://leesbird.com/2016/01/04/teach-your-children-the-right-passwords/ — and “Cuckoo Deceit” at https://leesbird.com/2009/11/29/it-cuckoo-deceit/ . This is a very tricky form of “home invasion”, like a burglar who is accepted in, based on false pretenses, as a masked yet malevolent fraudfeasor. Hmmm — that reminds me of how television lies and immorality are often accepted into our homes, under false pretenses, when their thief-like influence and disruptiveness is really an illegitimate presence inside what should be a God-honoring home-life — I’m just sayin’ . . . .
