    When Tekta Was Feeling Sad

    She Saw a Vision and Said

    (Continued) 👆 When Tekta was feeling sad, she saw a vision and said, "The work of God is truly amazing. In my dream last night, I saw a white calf come out of me, and that calf gave birth to another white calf. This continued for seven generations, until the seventh gave birth to the moon, and the moon gave birth to the sun." Petrikah was astonished and consulted a dream interpreter about his wife's vision. The interpreter revealed that seven female calves and seven daughters would be born, and that the seventh daughter, who would give birth to the moon, would be more glorious than the angels. However, the interpreter did not reveal the name of the sun. When Petrikah relayed this to his wife, she thanked God, saying "He knows what the God of Israel does." Soon after, she gave birth to a daughter named Hemen, who in turn gave birth to Hemen, who gave birth to Derde. Derdem have birth to Tonan; And then she gave birth to Sikar. Sikar have birth to Setnan and she gave birth to Hermela. Hermela gave birth to Hanna, who was honored and chosen to be the grandmother of the Lord who created the whole world. The Holy Spirit had revealed to the honorable David the honor of the Holy Virgin Mary, especially her birth, through the gift of singing and prophecy: "The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God." (Psalm 87:1-7) Mary was eventually betrothed to Yakem, the grandson of Lazarus, who was born to a poor family in the kingdom of Judah. Ethiopian Orthodox Church scholars, who are well-versed in ancient church texts, attest to the first miracle of Mary's birth. According to verses 15-16, Mary's father, Jacob, was from the House of King David, while her mother, Hannah, was from the lineage of Aaron the priest. Mary's lineage can thus be traced to both the royal family and the priesthood. Prophet Isaiah, one of the first prophets, was guided by the Holy Spirit and prophesied that the Holy Virgin Mary would be born from the side of Jesse, and from her would come a physical word called "tsige," which means "flower" in English. He said, "And a flower will come out of it," which is a wonderful prophecy. (To be continued) May the name of the Holy God be praised forever and ever in every tongue that He has created, today and always. May the blessings of God's mother, the virgin, and the cross be upon us. Amen. © John's Repentance Follow our Telegram group every day and share it with your friends: https://t.me/orthodoxQnAs
