Dr. Mariottini, your WordPress installation is infected, probably because of your theme (spammers often inject their advertisements into free themes). In a div that is styled to be hidden, “div class=ilh2,” there is advertisement for cialis, levitra, etc.
I first noticed this because I read you in a blog reader, which removes native blog styling.
It can possibly be fixed with just a change in theme.

Dear Professor, I stumbled across your post as I was researching the names in Nehemiah. I am a Seventh-day Adventist and a keen Bible student. I like to share my bible discoveries with my bible group and I will use your perceptions in this regard. I read Greek and interested in the gender contained in the Septuagint. Your work is greatly appreciated.

Reading Nehemiah anew and with analysis here is exciting to me. We are thinking of Nehemiah as having much to inform our military quagmire in the Middle East.

There is much to learn from Nehemiah. Our presence in the Middle East is a “military quagmire” and it just got worse with recent events.

Hi, I enjoyed your post, I’ve also been researching Noadiah. I believe we have added insight into the situation via the comments of Jesus and Stephen regarding the Jewish treatment of prophets. “Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute?” Hope you’ll take a look at the research at this link, which complements your own alsowritten.wordpress.com/2022/05/13/noadiah-the-last-prophet/

Thank you for background and ideas about Noadiah. Teaching children 3 to 6 about prophets and false prophets was challenging. Explaining that prophets are messengers sent by God with important information, false prophets are not sent by God and they mean to hurt or harm, needed a visual. I had purchased a small stuffed lamb for an Easter decoration not realizing when turned over and inside out it became a wolf. At first I named the lamb then decided to name the wolf since it is wearing the sheep’s clothing. I looked up false prophets/ prophetesses and came upon Noadiah.. The children readily accepted the idea and explanation. Noadiah became well known as a false prophetess (she-wolf) among the children. Thought you would get a chuckle from this experience.

Jane,
Thank you for this comment. I have never seen a stuffed lamb that becomes a wolf. This can be used in many different contexts to show people that, at times, what we think is a lamb is nothing but a wolf wearing sheep’s clothing. I appreciate your illustration because it clearly shows what a false prophet is all about.
