Biblical essential oils and
healing oils and Herbs of the bible
Come with us as we explore the bible and learn the truths about the Biblical Essential Oils and Healing Oils and herbs within the pages of scripture.
The fruit of it shall be for food, and the leaf of it for healing...we are going to examine various ideas, recipes, plants, essential oils, herbs and lots more as we seek to unlock the mysteries of the ancients and the gifts that Abba has blessed us with. As you seek to know the end, it is imperative that we go 'back to the beginning'. Yes, the beginning - and that begins in Genesis. Let us place our foot in the well-trod prints of our forefathers and rediscover the natural healings and the blessings that is our heritage It is said that there is healing in His wings...and that is so very true ... and many times this comes with anointing...an anointing of oil. The oil of the pressed olive served many uses - from healing, to cooking to anointing kings.
In Ancient Footsteps we will journey back in time, to places found in the ancient writings of the scripture to understand and see how our forefathers used various types of oils, whether it be olive oil or the essential oils of herbs and various plants. We will explore together the symbolic meanings as well as the literal application of applying these oils to the benefit and healing of our bodies. Retracing the footsteps of our forefathers we will rediscover some of the ancient healing practices, unearth long forgotten recipes using herbs and spices which were used to make tinctures, and long forgotten plants or leaves combined with oils to make poultices for healing. As we journey through time we will gain a glimpse of what our ancestors instinctively knew as they applied the 'healing in the wings' and understood that it given to us by our loving Father - the Creator of all.
Along the way, we will search out the truth in the scriptures to understand the culture, the time and the nuances of how the people of the book understood their writings. We will examine who is Israel, who is the Church and who is the Messiah. Understanding who we are in this journey of life and who we are in 'Messiah' will deepen your commitment and strengthen your faith.

The Cycles of Scripture
One more time around...
It's a cycle and it begins now!
The bible is replete with events and circumstances and prophecies that seen to repeat themselves. Many of these 'cycles' find their completion in the number SEVEN. These cycles of seven are more than just a passing fancy of the Creator of the Universe - they are embedded in each cell of your body!
The Rhythm of Seven
The modern science of studying how living things handle time - which goes by the name of chronobiology - teamed up with computer and discovered that innate seven-day (circaseptan) cycles are in a wide variety of life forms - including humans!
So while we mortals ponder the reason for a seven-day cycle and argue whether it is a religious or cultural invention - we can now understand certain things about the rhythm of the number seven:
- It is ancient in biological origin;
- It is independent from the environmental cycles of sun, moon and stars;
- It is embedded in all living cells and
- It is the beat to which all life is tuned.
So if ALL of life - every living cell, in every animal, plant and human is based on an intricate, indisputable cycle of seven, it begs the question .... Is there a common designer of ALL OF LIFE? Well, those reading this article, will of course say YES! However, many of our family and friends need a bit of scientific proof to sway them in this direction, and this may just be the tip of the iceberg.
