Interesting articles about walls and about the Romani people. Beautiful places in fantasy lands!
Also interesting thoughts about death. One could go on and on, trying to comprehend it all. It seems I remember that God gave man and animals plants for eating until the fall, when some animals became predatory, but man wasn't given animals to eat until after the Flood. I'm not sure about that, and I don't know where to look it up. Anyway, I Cor. 15:55, "…54When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come to pass: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” 55“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” 56The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Law.…"
Thank you. It's Genesis 9:2-3.
Your final quotation is the most important statement on death inn the Bible (or anywhere).
