question:  How many times are cucumbers mentioned in the Bible?

 

answer:  Twice (Numbers 11:5; Isaiah 1:8)

 

“Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: ‘Who will give us meat to eat?  We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic; but now our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!’” (Numbers 11:4-6).

 

“Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire; strangers devour your land in your presence; and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.  So the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a hut in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.  Unless the Lord of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been made like Gomorrah” (Isaiah 1:7-9).

3 People Classes

 ~ Are You Consistently Following This Important Teaching? ~

 

Instructive Scripture  ~  “All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify.  Let no one seek his own, but each one the other’s well-being.  Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for conscience' sake; for ‘the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.’  If any of those who do not believe invites you to dinner, and you desire to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience’ sake.  But if anyone says to you, ‘This was offered to idols,’ do not eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience’ sake; for "the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.’  ‘Conscience,’ I say, not your own, but that of the other.  For why is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience?  But if I partake with thanks, why am I evil spoken of for the food over which I give thanks?  Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.  Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God, just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved” (1 Corinthians 10:23-33). 

 

Inherent Concept  ~  This passage of Scripture’s primary thought is that the mature Christian will do everything for the glory of God (10:31).  But remember, “The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein” (Psalm 24:1). 

 

Interesting Note  ~  This passage lists three distinct classes of people: Jews, Greeks, and Christians (10:32). 

 

Important Teaching  ~  The mature believer will never knowingly act in such a way to offend another believer—even though such an action would be perfectly acceptable in their own “freedom in Christ.”
