-- SOURCE: 07-02-18 Seeking Alpha - "A Bearish Stock Signal From IG Spreads" --
As the corporate bond market goes, so goes the stock market
- Over the past three decades, the directionality of investment grade corporate bond spreads has been strongly related to equity returns.
- As we reach the half point of 2018, IG spreads are notably wider, albeit from initially tight levels.
- This article discusses the relationship between spreads and equity performance, and examines whether history can be a guide to forward returns.
Since 1990, investment grade corporate bond spreads have widened in 12 of 28 years. When IG credit spreads (LQD), the risk premium that blue chip companies pay over Treasuries to borrow, have increased over a calendar year, the S&P 500 (SPY) has produced a meager 1.6% annual return. In the 16 years that spreads have tightened, the S&P 500 has produced a very strong 18.5% annualized return.
As we reach the midway point of 2018, IG spreads are meaningfully wider. The average investment grade corporate bond spread over Treasuries is 31bp higher year-to-date. While this may not seem like a meaningful widening, only 7 of the 28 years in our dataset have experienced greater spread widening than we have seen so far this year. Four of those seven years produced negative total returns for the equity markets; two of those additional years produced only meager 1-2% returns.
At the midway point of the year, the S&P 500 has produced a 2.7% total return. This aligns with 2015, which saw a 34bp spread widening and an annualized total return for the S&P 500 of 1.4%. Spread widening in 2015 was driven by sharply lower commodity prices that pressured the debt of energy and mining companies, which saw sharply higher leverage as earnings tumbled. Spreads had begun to widen in late 2014 as oil prices rolled over.
The only year with a larger spread widening than 2018 that ended up being a strong year for equities was 1998. The Russian default in August of that year, and the collapse of hedge fund Long Term Capital Management shortly thereafter, weighed on global credit markets. Equities, amidst the inflating of the tech bubble that saw the Nasdaq (QQQ) produce a 40% return, managed to deliver a year of strong performance. Similarly, 1997 also saw strong equity returns as domestic credit spreads widened from historic lows in part driven by sovereign debt crises in Asia.
Rising credit spreads directly increase a companies cost of capital. If equity values are the discounted future cash flows produced by a company, a rise in the discount rate should lower the present value. Higher credit spreads should translate into lower equity values as we have seen historically.
From a pure balance sheet view, the equity of a firm is the value of its assets less its liabilities. The equity value can be viewed as a call option on the asset value with a strike price equal to the value of the debt. Wider credit spreads of a given company are the market pricing in a greater likelihood that the value of the assets is not greater than the value of the debt. The risk premium bondholders need to be paid for lending to that company is rising. Credit spreads are naturally linked to equity volatility, and 2018 has delivered wider spreads and higher volatility.
I view it as unlikely that 2018 is going to end with investment grade corporate bond spreads tighter than where we started. While investment grade corporate balance sheets are generally in decent shape and corporate earnings have proven resilient, a large scale rally in a maturing credit cycle feels like a stretch at this point. When I show this table again, 2018 is very likely to fall to the left of this graph. That does not spell a high likelihood of strong equity returns for the remainder of the year.

Is Everything Code?
Marc Andreessen is famous for saying that "software is eating the world," a flippant way of saying that nearly every product and service relies on software to deliver on its business promise. Modern software development and delivery practices such as agile and DevOps are taking this to the next level as one might argue that today, nearly everything in software development is code, as more and more of the software process itself is automated. Obviously, our software applications are comprised of code, but that's only the start of it.
Software tests are code
The recent 2018 Accelerate: State of DevOps Report makes this clear. High performing organizations now automate on average more than 80 percent of their testing work, up from 70 percent just a year ago. While there will always be a need to perform some manual testing—either because automation cannot identify certain kinds of errors or the cost of automation for some tests are too high—there is no doubt that tests are primarily code today.
Delivery orchestration is code
Back in the dark ages of software development, the process of moving code from its development environments into testing environments and, ultimately, into production, was an intensive manual process that was fraught with risk. Thanks to continuous integration and delivery practices—along with tooling to support this process—managing builds, tracking versions of release candidates, and promoting applications to downstream environments is all done with code.
Environment provisioning/deprovisioning is code
The ability to setup and teardown development, test, and production environments has become code, too. Whether these environments are on premise in a datacenter or cloud-based, code now drives these activities. The mainstream use of virtual machines and containers has made automating these practices practical, reducing human error and time.
Production deployments are code
We no longer need to nervously deploy code into production at midnight on a Friday evening, expecting days if not weeks of debugging issues to get new production code to work. Along with automated delivery orchestration has come the ability to automatically deploy applications into production environments just like we do into earlier environments. Besides pushing application code into production, automated deployments can deploy mechanisms to rollback code if necessary and monitor applications for performance, reliability, and security. Deployments are now code, too.
So what will become code next?
Hardware as code
Software-based hardware design languages, robotic assembly, and 3-D printing technology are converging to make it possible to design, prototype, and build all sorts of hardware automatically using code. In the future, it might be possible to build nearly any product using just raw materials and software-controlled systems.
People as code
While I'm not a big believer that robots are going to take over the earth and put us all out of business, there is no question that the push toward automating the creation of code and mechanisms to self-heal defective systems could mature to the point where most code is created by other code. Rudimentary code generation techniques already exist and artificial intelligence is pushing the envelope in these areas and who knows for sure how far it will go.

( Part I is here. )
Now we shall turn to the second obstacle in the spiritual path, viz. wealth, and see how he met this impediment. We have already pointed out how categorically he refused to acquire what he termed a 'breadwinning education', that is to say, an education that will give wealth, name and fame. He never gave a thought to these things. Not only that, when wealth was offered to him, he would feel extremely uncomfortable; for he had banished from his mind all thought about wealth, discarding it as of no more value than a clod of earth: "By reasoning he came to the sure conclusion, that a person who had made the realization of Brahman the only goal of his life could not derive any help whatsoever from gold any more than from a lump of earth. Therefore, repeating again and again, 'Rupee is earth and earth is rupee' he threw them both into the Ganges." By following this discipline this idea was so firmly engraved in his mind that any suggestion of possession would raise, as it were, a storm in his mind.
Once Mathur wanted to make some provision for the Master's maintenance. On making the proposal Sri Ramakrishna seems to have thundered: "Do you want to make me a worldly man?"10 "Among the many who came to visit Sri Ramakrishna there was a rich Marwari gentleman named Lakshmi Narayan, who held the Master in great esteem." We shall narrate here the circumstances as we find in the biography: "One day Lakshmi Narayan noticed a soiled coverlet on the Master's bed and at once offered to deposit in the bank in his name a sum of ten thousand rupees, so that his needs might always be supplied. The proposal was so painful to Sri Ramakrishna that he besought him with folded hands never to mention the subject again. Finding all his importunities futile, the Marwari next approached Hriday and pressed him to accept the money in the name of the Holy Mother, who would thereby be enabled to look to the Master's comforts. When this was made known to the Master, he again objected, saying that even in that case the money would be practically his, and he could not bear the idea of having any possessions. The generous man still insisted. Finding argument of no avail Sri Ramakrishna cried out in anguish: 'O Mother, why dost Thus bring such people here, who want to estrange me from Thee?' At this pathetic appeal the gentleman desisted. Referring to this incident the Master afterwards remarked, 'At the offers of Mathur and Lakshmi Narayan I felt as if somebody was sawing through my skull!'"
Sri Ramakrishna's renunciation was thorough as well as total. He could not entertain the idea of possession even of things trivial. His nervous system recoiled at the very idea of hoarding. We can understand this better if we give here an example. "The Master was fond of chewing certain spices now and then, especially after meals. One day after he had taken his meal at the room where Sri Sarada Devi the Holy Mother stayed in Dakshineswar, she gave him some spices in a packet of paper and asked him to take them to his room. The Master started for his room but felt confused. He walked straight to the embankment and was about to fall into the river. Sarada Devi did not know what to do. She was too bashful to go out in the public and restrain him. Suddenly she saw a priest of the temple and asked him to call Hriday, who saved the Master from the imminent catastrophe. Evidently, to Sri Ramakrishna, the carrying of a small packet of spices was an act of hoarding."
The very touch of metal which symbolises money would cause excruciating pain to him. One day, after his last illness had begun, a great physician named Bhagavan Rudra was called in. The physician was told all about the Master's illness. Sri Ramakrishna then began to talk with the doctor. "Well, what do you think of this? When I touch a coin my hand gets twisted; my breathing stops. Further, if I tie a knot in the corner of my cloth, I cannot breathe. My breathing stops until the knot is untied," said the Master. "He asked a devotee to bring a rupee. When Sri Ramakrishna held it in his hand, the hand began to writhe with pain. The Master's breathing also stopped. After the coin had been taken away, he breathed deeply three times and his hands relaxed."
Even an unconscious touch of money would produce the same result as we shall see in the following incident of his life. "One day when the Master was absent in Calcutta, Narendra came to Dakshineswar. Finding there was no one in his room, a desire arose in his mind to test the Master's renunciation of wealth. So he secretly placed a rupee under the bed and went to the Panchavati for meditation. After a time Sri Ramakrishna returned. No sooner had he touched the bed than he started back in great pain. Wondering, he was looking around, when Narendra came in and watched him silently. An attendant examined the bed, and the presence of the rupee was disclosed."
Having thus observed the Master for many years how he practised renunciation, not only from the conscious plane but even in the unconscious, Swami Vivekananda in his Bengali hymn to the Master describes him as Tyagīśvara, supreme among the renouncers.
We shall conclude by what the Holy Mother said of the unique feature of Sri Ramakrishna's life. "One day a disciple asked her about the special message of Sri Ramakrishna. Was it not the harmony of religions that he experienced and taught? The Mother replied: 'My child, what you say about the harmony of religion is true. But it never occurred to me that he had practised the disciplines of different faiths with the definite idea of preaching this harmony. Day and night the Master remained overwhelmed with divine rapture. He enjoyed God's sport by following the paths of the Vaishnavas, Christians, Mussulmans, and the rest. But it seems to me, my child, that the chief characteristic of the Master's sādhanā was his renunciation. Has anyone ever seen such natural renunciation? Renunciation is his great ornament.'

The other day I went on a typical London walk near Thames, and as always loved the lights, reflections and the view. It was amazing! One thing I really liked was the RGB mood lights on the bridge that transformed from every possible color in a way that it made the whole experience amazing!! Here is a glimpse from my instagram.
Since there was a sequence of colors involved, I thought I would at least try to replicate these mood lights using OpenCV. Turns out its not very difficult to make this animation at all. I wrote an algorithm for doing this using some clever tricks that did make it simple and interesting. Here is a gif showing how cool the animation looks when you execute the code.

A-Z Fashion print // "Blah" phone case // Pink body mist // Essie nail polish // VS Pink makeup bag // Taylor Swift album // Bow earrings // pink earrings // "Flawless" pillowcase // Nars lipsticks // pale pink/nude bag
ooh la la … the 'girly girl'! this is pretty self explanatory. anything glitzy, name brand and pink is going to be a perfect gift for this sweet yet sassy lady. I love Kate Spade so these bow earrings are a must have for me ( a great staple, that'll never go out of style ) also how AMAZE is this Alphabet print done by Holly Nichols … you must check out her work. she's reeeeeally good ( I have a print done by her that was given to me by a really sweet friend I met on Instagram! 😉 one more must have
(drum roooooll!) lipstick, duh.
leopard & black hat // pretzel pillowcases // sunglasses // marc jacobs phone case // nars eyeshadow // gold necklace // fox mug // zippered bag // emoji pillow // too faced lipstick // ear cuff // outdoor "Holla" mat
aren't you just obsessed??!! I love the emoji pillow, I think it's absolutely hilarious and I need it in my life. I had to include a fox 😉 and pretzels because if you know me … you know I am also very obsessed. the 'quirky fashionista' is funny, confident, and just does her own thing. she's a trend setter and go getter. she's loyal and is probably one of your best friends.
watch // cat framed print // animal mugs // Kidogo Kidogo phone case (show above is a 2 piece style) // triangle pillow // Kidogo Kidogo – Kitenge Pouch (great for jewelry and other small items) // hat // porcelain deer head // earrings // boots // plaid shirt
this 'outdoor chic' girl is seriously cool. she can not do her hair for a week and STILL look like a model. she is an animal lover, wants to save the world ( by traveling it of course! ) and is into shopping small and appreciates good quality.
I had a lot of fun putting these wishlists together because honestly, I feel like I'm a bit of all 3 of the cute imaginary girls I came up with 😉 I wish you luck in finding those special gems for those special people in your life! which girl are you???
to go along with the season of gift giving I thought I'd talk a little bit more about Kidogo Kidogo and their mission, a few months ago I collaborated with them on my blog … I'll link the post here.
Kidogo Kidogo means "little by little" in Swahili, which I think is really cool. I don't know if I knew that when I first talked of their cute phone cases. The mission of Kidogo Kidogo is to provide women in Tanzania with their own cell phones. When a case is purchased, Kidogo Kidogo gives a phone (essentially phone credits) that the women in Tanzania may use. I love the action that the founders of Kidogo Kidogo have taken. even something as simple as a cell phone is life changing… because think about life without your cell phone.
Kidogo Kidogo has branched their product line into t shirts, more phone case styles and colors and brought in the Kitenge Pouch. Kidogo Kidogo is offering 10% off your purchase using code KIDOGO14
thank you so much for reading! happy gift giving!
thank you Kidogo Kidogo for inspiring this post

PICC line was placed less than 1 week ago in the patient's right basilic vein. MD order states to place new PICC and remove old one. Patient has had a stroke to the left side with left sided paralysis. Is it appropriate to place two PICC lines in one arm temporarily until placement of new line is verified and then old line removed?Â
Forum topic
First, why does the physician want the first PICC removed? The reason would have to be a valid one and suspicion of infection with fever only is not enough reason. So invesstigate that first. If the reason was valid, I would insert the new one using either the brachial or cephalic vein, staying away from the basilic on the right. You can not use the left side at all due to the paralysis. Then pull the first PICC and get the chest xray. But there would have to be a great reason for doing this!! Lynn
Lynn Hadaway, M.Ed., RN, BC, CRNI
Why can't a PICC line be placed in an arm with paralysis? What if the patient is a quad?
Paralysis means that the muscle pump or venous pump action is gone. This is the normal mechanism that moves blood back to the heart. Muscles contract, upper venous valves open, distal valves close and blood is propelled back to the heart. With paralysis this mechanism is gone. Add a catheter of any kind to a paralyzed extremity and you have a wonderful site for vein thrombosis. So for a quad, I would never choose a PICC. Lynn

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of U.S. (1743-1826), Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802)
Within the context of the current global financial meltdown, this quote of Thomas Jefferson is gettng a lot of "air time" in the blogosphere. To include it in this blog does no harm.
For those whose curiosity goes beyond the front-page prattle of the corporate media, the following two articles on the financial malaise may prove worthwhile. Behind the Panic: Financial Warfare and the Future of Global Bank Power, by F. William Engdahl; Down the Rabbit Hole Towards a New Economic World Order, by Simon Davies and Donald Hunt.
The Internet offers numerous alternative red pills, i.e. news sources. To quote from the same literary source that gave us the "rabbit hole": "Feed your head."

Kohtla-Järve and Kiviõli semi-coke mountains that endangered the environment of Ida-Virumaa for a long time are now properly closed and do not pose a threat to the environment.
"The closing of the big semi-coke mountains of Ida-Virumaa is an example of how costly in terms of time and money it is to improve the nature-ignoring decisions that were once made. The semi-coke mountains have been dangerous for both human health and the environment. Poisonous gases and a variety of contaminants were emitted into surface and groundwater from them," the Minister of the Environment Mati Raidma said.
Both Kiviõli and Kohtla-Järve semi-coke landfills were transformed during the works and the sides of the mountains were flattened. In order to avoid pollutants from coming into contact with groundwater or surface water, it was required to ensure the water-tightness of the semi-coke mountain. First, the surfaces were covered with bentonite clay mats, then with drainage mats and finally with coating, which was fresh semi-coke in Kohtla-Järve and mine waste in Kiviõli. Finally, lawn was smothered on the mountain slopes and birch saplings were planted. Additionally, the pitch waste lakes that had formed as a result of the manufacturing of oil were closed at the site of both semi-coke landfills.
"Such quite specific works were made even complicated by the fact that the majority of the work had to be carried out on the slopes with high angle. In turn, the burning brands that had emerged inside the mountain at an earlier time caused problems and in order to eliminate these, studies had to be carried out first and then a diverse technical solution developed," Project Manager of Merko Eesti AS Tarmo Sinisaar, who managed the works, said.
The cost of the project of closing Kiviõli semi-coke landfill was 5.58 million euros and the closing works were carried out by Skanska EMV AS. The cost of the project of closing Kohtla-Järve semi-coke landfill was over 36 million euros and the closing works were carried out by a consortium in cooperation with its leading partner Merko Ehitus Eesti AS. Both projects were fully financed from the European Union Cohesion Fund.
Since 1938, approximately 73 million tonnes of semi-coke and nearly 100,000 tonnes of pitch waste were landfilled in Kohtla-Järve semi-coke landfill. Prior to closing, Kohtla-Järve semi-coke landfill was the highest point with nearly 170 metres above the sea level on a total area of nearly 214 hectares. Over 15 million tonnes of waste have been landfilled in Kiviõli semi-coke landfill on a total area of nearly 47 hectares.

As chairperson of the Headley-Whitney Board of Directors, I am proud of the strides and contributions to the community the Headley-Whitney Museum of Art has made in the last few years. Doubling its facility and exhibition size has allowed it to bring in first class national decorative art exhibits to the Museum and host great speakers and educational events at the Museum. As the first Smithsonian Affiliate in Kentucky, the Museum has access to the treasures of the Smithsonian and has brought and will continue to bring these to Kentucky for all to enjoy. I am also especially proud of the Museum's outreach program to children in the community. In addition to numerous programs and workshops, over the last several years the museum has sponsored a faux bibelot contest for students in Fayette and surrounding counties. Through participatory programs and workshops, the Museum has encouraged and reached out to students of all ages in the community. A truly unique Museum, the Headley-Whitney is considered, as one local art organization head put it, "a jewel of the Bluegrass".
The Museum serves Fayette and surrounding counties in addition to attracting visitors from Louisville and Cincinnati.
The Headley-Whitney Museum of Art seeks to introduce children and adults to the decorative and fine arts through exhibits, workshops and events. The Museum displays many local artists in a variety of group and solo exhibits.
The Museum continues to introduce new workshops and programs for children and families as well as evolve existing programs like "Improbable Baubles." "Improbable Baubles" is an art competition program for students to learn about the decorative arts through making their own bibelot and the winning pieces are displayed in an exhibit in the Museum. Students who are not selected to display in the Museum still have a photograph of their piece and their artist statement in the exhibit. "Improbable Baubles" regularly reaches over 1,000 students a year.
The Museum is also working on developing programs for senior citizens. These programs will be available to senior groups that visit the Museum and can also be taken to senior centers and senior housing.
The Museum seeks to increase attendance at programs and events by 25% in the coming years. The Museum hopes to expand "Improbable Baubles" from 3 participating counties to 5 in the next 2 years and increase the student participation by 50%.
The main strategy the Museum has for reaching our goals is to increase awareness of the Museum in the community. A large part of this is partnering with local organizations, artists and schools. In 2016, the Museum partnered with 28 community organizations. Recent and upcoming exhibits feature a variety of artists from the area and programming that relates to the exhibits also utilizes local talent. To increase attendance at children and family workshops the Museum will be distributing flyers to schools in Lexington and for the first time, to surrounding counties. The Museum sent out letters to local senior centers to advise them of what the Museum can offer. The recent increase in "Improbable Baubles" participation was the result of revising the existing program with the help of a consultant to better tailor it to the needs of local schools.
The Headley-Whitney Museum of Art has a small but capable staff consisting primarily of two full-time and one part-time person who are in charge of the day to day running of the Museum. Each member of the staff has experience working with children in creative environments. The Museum has a recent history of successfully raising funds to support increasing the education programs that the Museum presents. Through "Improbable Baubles" the Museum has developed a relationship with many area teachers. The Museum partners with local organizations to participate in their local activities such as the Arbor Day event at the Arboretum and providing art activities at the Farmers' Market. The Museum also partners with local organizations to create interesting exhibits and programs. Past organizations include the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of the Kentucky, the Confucius Institute at the University of Kentucky and the Woodford Humane Society.
A primary way that the Museum will measure success is the number of people attending workshops and other events, in addition to daily visitors. These numbers will be tracked continuously and processed monthly. The Museum will also look to feedback from teachers who participate in "Improbable Baubles," staff at senior centers and workshop attendees.
"Improbable Baubles" began 9 years ago reaching about a hundred students and now annually averages about 1,000 students in three counties. The revamped program received high marks from teachers and will continue to be offered in the future with changes made each year to fine-tune it and make it more closely tied to the Core Standards or Kentucky.
The Headley-Whitney Museum of Art is working with local artists and collectors to increase awareness of the Museum and hopefully increase attendance at the same time.
The perception appears to be that the Headley-Whitney Museum of Art is a long distance from the city of Lexington. We are working to combat that by publicizing that we are about ten minutes from downtown rather than 5 miles.
The Headley Whitney Museum's annual student art program, Improbable Baubles, is designed to give Kentucky school children (Grades K-8) the opportunity to create, perform, and respond to art. Working in tandem with the Headley-Whitney Museum's Curator of Education, students learn the history of George Headley, his artwork and bibelots, and his significance to Kentucky. The educator leaves teachers with materials and lesson plans for students to create their own works of art (faux bibelots), perform their own artistic critiques, and democratically choose pieces by their own peers to be displayed at the Headley-Whitney Museum. All participants display a photograph of their work and their artist's statement at the Headley-Whitney Museum. Students with pieces at the Museum are jurored by local professional artists and receive recognition for their achievements.

ISL: Chennaiyin FC announce new contract for Brazilian midfielder Raphael Augusto
Indian Super League (ISL) side Chennaiyin F.C have announced the signing of Brazilian playmaker Raphael Augusto Santos da Silva on a new two-year contract that will keep him at the club until the end of 2019.
The 26 year old Augusto was initially signed on loan from Fluminese F.C in Brazil for the 2015 ISL season and was a key part of the side that went on lift the trophy in the final. His excellent performances in the midfield for Chennaiyin convinced the club to sign him on a permanent basis the following season.
The Brazilian has already represented DC United in the Major League Soccer (MLS) and Legia Warsaw in the Ektraklasa in Poland in his professional career so far. He went on to make 12 appearances in his first season in the ISL, scoring a vital goal along the way. The following season he made another 13 appearances for the Chennai based side winning several individual awards.
Newly appointed ex Aston Villa F.C coach John Gregory was delighted to announce the new contract for the playmaker. "I have received great feedback on Raphael from Sabir. He has clearly been one of best midfielders in the ISL and at 26 can only get better. I hear that he is a real fan favourite so it's great for the club to have him attached for the long term," he said.
The Brazilian fan favourite was equally delighted to extend his stay at the club. Augusto added, "I can't express in words how I feel for Chennaiyin FC and the people of Chennai and Tamil Nadu. We have a special bond. I have spent two memorable seasons already and look forward to be with the club for many more years. We didn't get the results we wanted last season after the success of 2015 so I am determined to bring the trophy back to Chennai."
This comes after the Abishek Bacchan owned outfit had announced the signing of Spanish defender Inigo Calderon yesterday. The former Brighton and Hove Albion defender has been signed on for the 2017-18 season.

Medication Management Is a Challenge for Many Seniors
You've probably read by now that older adults have been seriously affected by today's opioid crisis. Many seniors abuse opioid drugs, such as codeine, oxycodone or hydrocodone—and often as not, they started with a prescription from their doctor. A study in the September 2018 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine noted that many of these prescriptions were unjustified in the first place!
Opioids aren't the only medications that can cause problems for seniors. Earlier this year, Boston University School of Medicine experts noted that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as Advil (ibuprofen), Aleve (naproxen) and Celebrex, can have serious side effects including internal bleeding and even heart attacks. Benzodiazepines, often prescribed for anxiety and insomnia, also can be very dangerous for older adults, according to a recent study from the University of Michigan.
The medications seniors take help them manage many health conditions—everything from diabetes to heart disease to osteoporosis. But it can be a complicated balancing act. Take too much and we could experience a dangerous overdose. Take too little, and our medication might be ineffective. Take a medication at the wrong time of day, with alcohol, or even with grapefruit juice, and bad side effects could follow. Medications can be a health management challenge in its own right! Here are four important steps seniors should take:
Step 1: Ask your doctor or pharmacist to review all your medications. Today, there's emphasis on "deprescribing" unneeded prescription drugs. Perhaps a doctor prescribed a drug for you in the past, and you're still taking it even if you no longer need it. Maybe another doctor prescribed a second drug that can interact badly with the first one. The review should include prescription and over-the-counter drugs, as well as herbal preparations.
Step 2: Use a single pharmacy. This allows the pharmacist to keep track of all your prescriptions and let you know if a combination of drugs might cause a problem. The pharmacist can also remind you that it's time to refill a prescription, and suggest that you ask your doctor about a different drug that might be less expensive; studies show that the price of medications is one reason seniors fail to take them. (By the way, October is American Pharmacists Month! Check out these resources from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.)
Step 3: Be sure you're taking medications correctly. Read the label on the container and other informational materials—should you take this medication on an empty stomach, or with meals? What should you do if you accidentally skip a dose? If you're not sure, ask your doctor or pharmacist. If it's a new prescription, the pharmacist will most likely go over this information with you.
Step 4: Keep track of your medications. For people of any age, it's so easy to forget to take a dose, or to absentmindedly pop a pill, and then take another one. That can be dangerous! Use a chart, pillbox, calendar, automatic alarm or premeasured doses to remind you that you need to take a medication—or that you already did.
Never stop taking a drug or change the way you take it without first discussing it with your doctor.
Home care can help!
Did you know that many seniors who move to a nursing home do so because they have problems managing their medications? Vision problems, memory loss and arthritis might make it hard to read pill bottle labels, remember to take a dose, and even to open the container.
These seniors can stay home longer with the help of professional home care. Skilled nursing services can be provided in a senior's own home, and that can include help administering and managing medications.
Nonmedical home care also can help, at a lower cost. As part of a suite of services that might include assistance with bathing, dressing, meal preparation and light housekeeping, the caregiver can also provide medication reminders, and drive the client to the pharmacy or pick up prescriptions. Caregivers also are often the first one to notice if a senior client is suffering from side effects such as dizziness, depression or sleep disturbances. Some side effects even mimic the symptoms of dementia!
Having a trained caregiver on the scene not only protects the health and well-being of seniors—it also provides invaluable peace of mind for family.

Place of origin:
Thuringia (made)
1764-1765 (made)
Neu, Wenzel (modeller)
Kloster-Veilsdorf porcelain factory (manufacturer)
Materials and Techniques:
Hard-paste porcelain painted with enamels
Museum number:
Gallery location:
Europe 1600-1815, Room 2a, case CA1
Public access description
The Commedia dell'Arte, was a form of improvised street theatre, which spread from 16th-century Italy throughout Europe, and remained popular for around two centuries. Commedia dell'Arte troupes engaged in very physical acting using music, dance and acrobatics in their performances. While the plot was largely improvised, stock characters were used and were recognisable to the audience by their costumes, accents and poses. The popularity of this form of theatre inspired paintings and decorative objects depicting the commedia characters.
This figure of Pierrot is from a set of ten made at Kloster Veilsdorf in 1764. They were created by the factory's master modeller Wenzel Neu, following following engravings of designs by Johann Jacob Schubler published in Augsburg in 1729 (engraved by Johann Balthasar Probst). They may have been intended for display at grand dinners and set out down a table during the service of the dessert.
The factory at Kloster Veilsdorf was near Hildburghausen, the seat of the Dukes of Sachsen- Hildburghausen, in Thuringia, in present day northern Germany. It was founded in 1759, but did not achieve commercial production until 1763, when Nicholas Paul the younger brought his father's 'arcana' (knowledge of porcelain production) from the factory at Fürstenburg. Two years later the Kloster Veilsdorf factory received a privilige (patent) from the Duke of Sachsen Hildburghausen. Almost all the the eighteenth-century German porcelain factories were founded with princely or ducal support and many relied on such patronage for their continued survival.

Object history note
The information below is from the essay by Sattler in the 2001 Stuttgart exhibition catalogue (see reference below).
Hildburghausen is the seat of the Dukes of Sachsen Hildburghausen and its ruler, Duke Carl (1727-1780) was fanatical about the theatre. Soon after he inherited the dukedom in 1745, he had converted the 'Ballspielhaus' in Hildburghausen into a theatre in 1750-55 and was a lavish patron of the arts. The Duke's younger brother, Prinz Friedrich Wilhelm Eugen von Sachsen-Hildburghausen (1730-95) had developed a keen interest in porcelain during a stay in Copenhagen and in 1759 leased the 'Kammergut' Closter Veilsdorf, a few kilometres from Hildburghausen in order to found a porcelain factory. Initially his workmen could only produce earthenwares, however it was only when Nicolaus Paul the younger arrived in 1763 who had been given the 'arcana' (secret of porcelain production) from his father at the Fürstenburg factory, that porcelain production started.
The Commedia dell'Arte figures are among the first produced by the factory. Wenzel Neu (ca. 1707-1774) had first visited Closter Veilsdorf in 1761. He was recorded at Volkstedt in 1762 and was 'Modellmeister' (chief designer) at Closter Veilsdorf from 1763- October 1767. Neu was born in Tragau, Bohemia in about 1707. He was probably trained in Prague by two sculptors; Braun and Maximilian Brockoff. In 1742 he was invited to become 'Modellmeister' at the faience factory in Fulda which had started one year previously. He worked there, creating the models for all their figures until the factory closed in 1761. During his time at Closter Veilsdorf he worked on at least 91 different models: 33 figures and groups, 11 animals, 7 busts or portrait reliefs, 2 snuffboxes, 1 sword-hilt, 3 cane handles, 2 sculptural pipe-heads, 5 mirrors, brush-heads, 12 pieces for a dinner service and 11 pieces for a tea and coffee service, 3 sweetmeat dishes and one objet de vertu. In addition he oversaw the models created by his apprentices. He subsequently returned to Fulda where he died on 21st May, 1774.
Neu created a series of 10 Commedia figures after the Augsburg engravings. 'Neu succeeded in transforming his graphical source into superb three-dimensional works of art. He hardly changed the appearance of certain figures (Scaramuza, Doictor Poloward, Pierrot and Arlequin), but adapted others (Gobiel, Capitaine Rodomond and Columbina). Only the appearance of Isabelle and, in particular Mezzeti were altered noticeably.' (Mezzetin is seated in the engraving). The series was produced over a long period of time and appears in the documents 12 years after Neu had left the factory. However, they were only produced to order, so it is impossible to say how many were made.
According to Meredith Chilton (see reference below), Molière was responsible for inventing the character of Pierrot. In his play, Dom Juan ou le festin de pierre, Pierrot appears as a simple character with a rustic accent. 'Molière appears to have adopted an existing character of the commedia dell'arte, Pedrolino, a young, personable and gullible servant who was both innocent and charming, but nonetheless comic, and transformed him into Pierrot.... Pierrot did not wear a mask, but floured or powdered his face white. The choice of white as the colour for Pierrot is interesting, as it was usually used for ghosts or phantoms in French ballets of the seventeenth century, though it was also the ancient colour of mourning. Perhaps this association served to show Pierrot as a character who was at once unworldly and filled with melancholy.'
Chilton suggests (p. 151) that Pierrot's gesture of pointing to his mouth may be to indicate his muteness.

The Abrahamic covenant was certainly a hereditary covenant and we see this clearly throughout the Old Testament. Most would claim that this has changed under the New Covenant, but in doing so they must deny many witnesses in both the New and Old Testaments to the continued exclusivity of the New Covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.
Many will object to this saying that the Gospel was brought to the Gentiles, but ethnos (sometimes rendered "Gentile", Strong's G1484, goy in Hebrew, H1471) never meant "non-Israelite". Rather it simply means "nation". In fact Esau and Jacob himself were together called ethne/goyim/nations in the womb (Genesis 25.23) and the promise to Abraham and his offspring was that they would become many ethne/goyim/nations (Genesis 17.4-6, 28.3, 35.11). Whenever we see the word "Gentile" when reading English translations we would do well to remember these promises to the fathers.
Some will point to instances in the New Testament where we see that the Gospel was to be brought to "the whole world" but we are told in the Old Testament that Israel would be scattered throughout the world to the ends of the earth (Isaiah 11.12, Deuteronomy 28.64, 33.17 et al.).
In the New Testament we see "the whole world" defined as the inhabited earth known to Greco-Roman civilization (Luke 2.1). We also see that in the Apostle's own time the Gospel had reached its intended recipients (Colossians 1.5-6, 23, Romans 10.18, 16.25-26) with churches established in Anatolia and Southern and Western Europe reaching each main body of dispersed Israelites. The words commonly translated "world" were never perceived in ancient times to refer to the whole of the planet. Erets and ge (H776 and G1093, "land"), oikoumene (G3625, "inhabited earth"), and kosmos (G2889, "adorning", "society" or "order") were never intended to describe the whole planet which was largely unknown to Biblical authors.
In Hebrews 8.8 we see St. Paul quote the prophecy of the New Covenant in Jeremiah 31.31. There is no mention of other peoples being parties of the New Covenant and the Israelites hearing Jeremiah's prophecy would never have conceived of such a thing.
"8 Censuring them He says: "Behold, days are coming, says Yahweh, and I will consummate for the house of Israel and for the house of Judah a new covenant. 9 Not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day of my taking hold of their hand to lead them out from the land of Egypt; because they did not abide by My covenant, I then disregarded them, says Yahweh. 10 For this is the covenant which I will devise with the house of Israel after those days, says Yahweh: giving My laws into their minds, I will also inscribe them upon their hearts, and I will be for a God to them, and they shall be for a people to Me."
-Hebrews 8
Later in the same chapter of Jeremiah God affirms that the race (Strong's G1085) of Israel will always persist as a nation. This precludes the possibility of the nation of Israel becoming a "spiritual" entity defined by religion.
"35Thus saith the Lord, who gives the sun for a light by day, the moon and the stars for a light by night, and makes a roaring in the sea, so that the waves thereof roar; the Lord Almighty is his name:
36if these ordinances cease from before me, saith the Lord, then shall the race [genos, Strong's G1085] of Israel cease to be a nation [ethnos, G1484] before me forever.
37Though the sky should be raised to a greater height, saith the Lord, and though the ground of the earth should be sunk lower beneath, yet I will not cast off the race of Israel, saith the Lord, for all that they have done."
-Jeremiah 31
In this Psalm King David, the ancestor of Christ praises God for the exclusive nature of the covenant and God's unique relationship with Israel.
"19He sends his word to Jacob, his ordinances and judgments to Israel.
20He has not done so to any other nation; and he has not shewn them his judgments."
-Psalm 147
Here Christ tells the Canaanite woman in no uncertain terms who he came to save. When she offers supplication he heals her young, but preaches not a word to her and only tells her "go thy way" (Mark 7.29).
"22 And behold, a Canaanite woman from those borders having come out cried out saying "Pity me, Master, Son of David! My sick daughter is possessed by a demon!" 23 But He did not respond to her a word. And coming forth His students begged Him saying: "Dismiss her, for she cries out from behind us!" 24 Then replying He said: "I have not been sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel!""
-Matthew 15
Here the prophet Amos relays God's rebuke to Israel reminding them of God's judgement upon them unlike any other nation.
"1Hear ye this word, O house of Israel, which the Lord has spoken concerning you, and against the whole family whom I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying,
2You only have I known out of all the families of the earth: therefore will I take vengeance upon you for all your sins."
-Amos 3
Adressing dispersed Israelites and quoting Moses' words to the house of Israel (Exodus 19:5-6) St. Peter reminds the recipients of his epistle of their status as a special people in God's eyes.
"9 But you are an elect race [genos, G1085], a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people, so that you should proclaim the virtues for which from out of darkness you have been called into the wonder of His light, 10 who at one time were "not a people" [Hosea 1.10] but now are the people of Yahweh, those who "have not been shown mercy" [Hosea 2.23] but are now shown mercy."
-1 Peter 2
Expressing his concern for his "kinsmen according to the flesh; those who are Israelites" St. Paul tells us that it is Israel to whom the covenants belong.
"3 for I have prayed that I myself would be accursed from the Anointed for the brethren, my kinsmen in regards to the flesh; 4 those who are Israelites, whose is the position of sons, and the honor, and the covenants, and the legislation, and the service, and the promises; 5 whose are the fathers; and of whom are the Anointed in regards to the flesh, being over all blessed of Yahweh for the ages. Truly."
-Romans 9
The children of the flesh in verse 8 are contrasted with the children of the promise which the following verses show to be inherited by birth through Isaac and Jacob-Israel. This excludes the Ishmaelites and Edomites who had become mingled among the Judaeans as Paul here warns us "not all those who are from Israel are those of Israel".
"6 Not, however, that the word of Yahweh has failed; since not all those who are from Israel are those of Israel: 7 nor because they are offspring of Abraham all children: but, "In Isaac will your offspring be called." 8 That is to say, the children of the flesh, these are not children of Yahweh, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring. 9 Indeed this word of promise: "At the appointed time I will come, and there will be a son for Sarah." 10 And not only, but Rebekka also had conceived from one, by Isaak our father. 11 Then not yet having been born, nor having performed any good or evil, (that the purpose of Yahweh concerning the chosen endures, not from rituals, but from the calling,) 12 to her it was said, "the elder will serve the younger:" 13 just as it is written, "Jakob I love, and Esau I hated.""
-Romans 9
'The Satanic Origins of the Kenite, Canaanite and Edomite Jews'
Speaking of certain disbelieving Judaeans St. Paul tells us these opponents of the Gospel are still beloved for the sake of their fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob because the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. Here we again see replacement theology and the doctrine of "spiritual Israel" refuted. These Israelite Judaeans are refered to as being of Jacob in the same breath that they are counted as enemies of the Gospel. Clearly the nation of Israel is still made up of the race of Israel as we saw earlier in Jeremiah 31.
"25 For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, lest you be wise on account of yourselves, that hardness in part has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Nations arrives. 26 And in that manner all of Israel shall be delivered; just as it is written, "From out of Zion shall come the Deliverer, and He shall turn away impiety from Jakob." 27 "And this to them is the covenant from Me, when I should remove their guilt." 28 Certainly concerning the good message, they are on your account enemies; but concerning the chosen, beloved on account of the fathers. 29 Indeed the favor and the calling of Yahweh are not to be repented of."
-Romans 11
The apostles clearly stated their mission to the twelve tribes of Israel. Most churches today teach that the only Israelites in the New Testament are the Judaeans, but there is ample evidence to the contrary within Scripture (and even more evidence in history).
The vast majority of the children of Israel left Egypt and Western Asia between 3,700-2,700 years ago to fulfill the promise to Jacob-Israel that his "seed" would "become many nations" and "a company of nations". Not one nation in Canaan.
The Jews of today are neither Judahites nor Israelites but are a racial conglomeration of Kenites, Canaanites and Edomites. They are primarily descended from the Edomites who were conquered converted and integrated into Judaea in 125 BC by John Hyrcanus.
'The Satanic Origins of the Kenite, Canaanite and Edomite Jews'
Regardless of these facts, even if they were the House of Judah as they falsely claim, it would not make them the heirs of the Israelite legacy as they would have us believe. The overwhelming majority of the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob-Israel vanished from the Near East 1,700-700 years before the birth of Jesus Christ.
Opening his epistle St. James greets all twelve tribes of Israel "which are scattered abroad". Not just the three tribes present among the Judaeans (Judah, Benjamin and Levi).
"1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting."
-James 1
Here St. Peter addresses his epistle to "those who are elect exiles of the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia". St. Peter of course refers to the dispersed Israelites scattered about Asia Minor known to history as Celts, Romans, Scythians and Greeks.
"1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who are elect exiles of the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 2 who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance."
-1 Peter 1
When St. Paul stood before the Edomite Herod Agrippa he gave account of his conversion to Christianity and the mission laid before him by God to minister to all twelve tribes of Israel. Note that here we see clearly that the twelve tribes are distinct from the Judaeans and that the Judaeans are in fact in opposition to the interests of the twelve tribes.
"4 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Judeans;
5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God, unto our fathers:
7 Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Judeans."
-Acts 26
In Galatians three St. Paul speaks to the Galatians as brethren concerning the covenant. While beyond the scope of this discussion, it is evident that ho Christos is not always properly understood to refer to Jesus Christ as evidenced by many passages where such a rendering makes no sense in the broader context of Scripture (Hebrews 11:24-26, 1 Timothy 5:11-12, 1 Corinthians 1:10-13, 1 Corinthians 4:15).
In this passage (quoting from the Christogenea New Testament) ho Christos is rendered as "Anointed". Of course the anointed are collectively the body of Christ, but rendering ho Christos as Christ in these instances misleadingly calls to mind Christ as an individual.
Notice here that St. Paul speaks of the permanence of a covenant. Of course the covenant with Abraham was unconditional and the promises were to Abraham's offspring.
"15 Brethren, (I speak as befits a man,) even a validated covenant of man no one sets aside, or makes additions to for himself. 16 Now to Abraham the promises have been spoken, and to his offspring. It does not say "and to offsprings", as of many; but as of one: "and to your offspring," which are Anointed. 17 Now this I say, a covenant validated beforehand by God, the law which arrived after four hundred and thirty years does not invalidate, by which the promise is left idle. 18 For if from law, the inheritance is no longer from promise, but to Abraham through a promise God has given it freely."
-Galatians 3
Again speaking to the Galatians St. Paul speaks of the purpose of the Father dispatching the Son to the world: "that He would redeem those subject to law". Of course only Israel was ever given the law and subject to its judgements. Notice they are recovering their positions as sons and not newly attaining them. The Israelites had fallen from their positions as sons centuries before when they broke every condition of the covenant and God sent them into the Assyrian captivity.
"1 Now I say, for as long a time as the heir is an infant, he differs not at all from a bondman, being master of all; 2 but he is subject to guardians and stewards until a time appointed by the father. 3 Just as we also, when we were infants, we were held subject under the elements of the society. 4 And when the fulfillment of the time had come, God had dispatched his Son, having been born of a woman, having been subject to law, 5 in order that he would redeem those subject to law, that we would recover the position of sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has dispatched the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying Father, Father. 7 So you are no longer a bondman but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God."
-Galatians 4
In this passage (famously despised by Mohammedans) St. Paul contrasts Sarah with Hagar and Isaac with Ishmael calling the Galatians his "brethren, down through Isaac".
"27 For it is written, "Be gladdened barren who is not bearing; break fourth and shout, she who is not travailing; because many more are the children of the desolate than of she who has the husband." 28 And we, brethren, down through Isaac, are children of promise. 29 But just as at that time he who was born according to flesh had persecuted him according to Spirit, so also now. 30 But what does the Scripture say? "Cast out the servant woman and her son, for by no means shall the son of the servant woman inherit along with the son of the free." 31 Well, brethren, we are not children of a servant woman, but of the free."
-Galatians 4
Abraham surely had no concept of replacement theology and he despaired at the thought of his inheritance being given to someone else's seed (Eliezer of Damascus). What's important to note here is the faith of Abraham in the promise of God to his seed.
"1And after these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I shield thee, thy reward shall be very great. 2And Abram said, Master and Lord, what wilt thou give me? whereas I am departing without a child, but the son of Masek my home-born female slave, this Eliezer of Damascus is mine heir. 3And Abram said, I am grieved since thou hast given me no seed, but my home-born servant shall succeed me. 4And immediately there was a voice of the Lord to him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come out of thee shall be thine heir. 5And he brought him out and said to him, Look up now to heaven, and count the stars, if thou shalt be able to number them fully, and he said, Thus shall thy seed be. 6And Abram believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness."
-Genesis 15
Notice that once again Paul refers to Abraham as the father of both himself and the recipients of his epistle. They according to the faith of Abraham; the faith that his offspring would become many nations. Not one single nation in Palestine, but "a nation and a company of nations" from the loins of Abraham through Isaac and Jacob-Israel.
"16 Therefore from of the faith, that in accordance with favor, then the promise is to be certain to all of the offspring, not to that of the law only, but also to that of the faith of Abraham, who is father of us all; 17 (just as it is written, "That a father of many nations I have made you,") before God whom he trusted, who raises the dead to life, and calls things not existing as existing; 18 who contrary to expectation, in expectation believed, for which he would become a father of many nations according to the declaration, "Thus your offspring will be:" 19 and he not being weak in the faith, nor having considered his own body by this time being dead, being about a hundred years old, and the deadness of the womb of Sara, 20 but at the promise of God he did not doubt in disbelief, rather he was strengthened in faith, giving honor to God, 21 and having full satisfaction that what He has promised, He is also capable of doing; 22 for that reason also "it was accounted to him for righteousness."
-Romans 4
It is evident in numerous places all throughout the prophets and the New Testament that trees, vines and other plant life symbolize people, families, nations and races.
'The Origins of the Serpent Seed'
Here Paul refers to the Romans as a "wild olive tree" (the olive tree is a symbol of Israel, Jeremiah 11.16, Hosea 14.6) grafted in among the other branches. Those branches being the Israelites of Judaea under the law. The ancestors of the Romans had departed from the main body of Israel before Moses ever recieved the law and so they are "wild olive" branches grafted in among the cultivated branches under the law.
"16 Now if the first fruit is sacred, then also the balance, and if the root is sacred, also the branches. 17 But if some of the branches have been broken off and you, being of a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, having become a partaker of the richness of the root of the olive tree, 18 you must not exult over the branches; but if you exult, you will not sustain the root, or the root you. 19 Now you will say, Those branches have been broken off, in order that I would be grafted in? 20 Correct, in disbelief they were broken off, and you in faith stand. Be not proud, but reverent. 21 Indeed if God spared not the natural branches, perhaps you may not be spared. 22 Behold then the goodness and severity of God: certainly upon those who have fallen, severity; but the goodness of God upon you, if then you abide in that goodness, otherwise you also will be cut off."
-Romans 11
Here St. Paul tells the Dorian Greeks of Corinth that their fathers had all passed through the Red Sea with Moses in the Exodus.
"1 Now I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all had passed through the sea. 2 And all up to Moses had immersed themselves in the cloud and in the sea, 3 and all had eaten the same spiritual food, 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of an attending spiritual rock, and that rock was Christ."
-1 Corinthians 10
St. Paul again indicates that the Corinthians are flesh and blood descendants of Israel where he warns them of the evils of idolatry.
"18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
20 But I say, that the things which the nations sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils."
-1 Corinthians 10
It must be understood that while Israel is the sole heir of the New Covenant that the other Adamic nations too will find life in Christ who was long ago prophecied of to Adam. These other Adamites have a different relationship with God than that of Israel but will not be forsaken.
Under the Old Covenant non-Israelites of Adamic stock were permitted to live among Israel and were expected to keep the laws given to Israel. In Exodus chapter twelve we are given instruction for the treatment of those Adamites who live among Israel.
"43And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, This is the law of the passover: no stranger [allogenes, G241 meaning literally "of another race" i.e. a non-Adamite] shall eat of it. 44And every slave or servant bought with money—him thou shalt circumcise, and then shall he eat of it. 45A sojourner or hireling shall not eat of it. 46In one house shall it be eaten, and ye shall not carry of the flesh out from the house; and a bone of it ye shall not break. 47All the congregation of the children of Israel shall keep it. 48And if any proselyte shall come to you to keep the passover to the Lord, thou shalt circumcise every male of him, and then shall he approach to sacrifice it, and he shall be even as the original inhabitant of the land; no uncircumcised person shall eat of it. 49There shall be one law to the native, and to the proselyte coming among you."
-Exodus 12
These ordinances set the precedent for later Christian assemblies. The Israelite nations with whom the New Covenant was made co-existed with the remnants of the various Adamic nations who had preceded them into Europe, the Mediterranean Basin and Asia Minor. Under this provision of the law these other Adamites dwell among us as Christians, circumcised in their hearts, keeping the statutes of Israel and sharing in the passover.
In the book of Isaiah we are told the purpose of Israel's covenant relationship with God and that is for Israel to be a light to the other Adamic nations and to show his glory.
"5Thus saith the Lord God, who made the heaven, and established it; who settled the earth, and the things in it, and gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to them that tread on it:
6I the Lord God have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will strengthen thee: and I have given thee for the covenant of a race, for a light of the nations:
7to open the eyes of the blind, to bring the bound and them that sit in darkness out of bonds and the prison-house.
8I am the Lord God: that is my name: I will not give my glory to another, nor my praises to graven images.
9Behold, the ancient things have come to pass, and so will the new things which I tell you: yea, before I tell them they are made known to you.
10Sing a new hymn to the Lord: ye who are his dominion, glorify his name from the end of the earth: ye that go down to the sea, and sail upon it; the islands, and they that dwell in them.
11Rejoice, thou wilderness, and the villages thereof, the hamlets, and the dwellers in Kedar: the inhabitants of the rock shall rejoice, they shall shout from the top of the mountains.
12They shall give glory to God, and shall proclaim his praises in the islands."
-Isaiah 42
This theme is reiterated in the beginning portion of Isaiah 49. This reminds us of the Abrahamic Covenant and the promise that Abraham's seed all the nations would be blessed (Genesis 22.18). It is of course the unconditional Abrahamic Covenant which is the foundation of the New Covenant as Israel repeatedly breached every condition of the covenant made at Sinai.
We can glean from these passages some important information regarding the nature of Israel's covenant and their relationship to the other Adamites. Firstly we see that Israel is given the covenant of a race and this affirms that the covenant belongs to Israel alone with whom the covenant was established. We also see that the Israelite race will be a light to the other nations who are here distinguished from the race of Israel. Thus these can only be the the other Adamic nations who through Israel will come to know God's glory. Israel is uniquely blessed and elected by God to minister to these nations in the Kingdom.
'The Tree of Life: Redemption of the Adamic Race'
This is a vast topic which ties into every other topic of Scripture and one could likely spend a lifetime studying and discussing these concepts, but I hope here to have established some of the basics.
"19And I will leave a sign upon them, and I will send forth them that have escaped of them to the nations, to Tharsis [Tartessus, Iberia, settled by Phoenician Israelites], and Phud [the North African coastlands, settled by Phoenician Israelites], and Lud [Lydia, Anatolia, settled by Kimmerian, Phoenician and Trojan Israelites], and Mosoch [Moscow, Russia, settled by Scythian Israelites], and to Thobel [Tobolsk, Russia, settled by Scythian Israelites], and to Greece [settled by Phoenician, Dorian and Danaan Israelites], and to the isles afar off [Britain and Ireland, settled by Scythian, Kimmerian, Phoenician, Danaan and Trojan Israelites], to those who have not heard my name, nor seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations."
-Isaiah 66
"8Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I succored thee: and I have formed thee, and given thee for a covenant of the nations, to establish the earth, and to cause to inherit the desert heritages:
9saying to them that are in bonds, Go forth; and bidding them that are in darkness shew themselves. They shall be fed in all the ways, and in all the paths shall be their pasture.
10They shall not hunger, neither shall they thirst; neither shall the heat nor the sun smite them; but he that has mercy on them shall comfort them, and by fountains of waters shall he lead them.
11And I will make every mountain a way, and every path a pasture to them.
12Behold, these shall come from far: and these from the North and the West, and others from the land of the Persians.
13Rejoice, ye heavens; and let the earth be glad: let the mountains break forth with joy; for the Lord has had mercy on his people, and has comforted the lowly ones of his people."
-Isaiah 49
"8Behold, I bring them from the north, and will gather them from the end of the earth to the feast of the passover: and the people shall beget a great multitude, and they shall return hither.
9They went forth with weeping, and I will bring them back with consolation, causing them to lodge by the channels of waters in a straight way, and they shall not err in it: for I am become a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first-born.
10Hear the words of the Lord, ye nations, and proclaim them to the islands afar off; say, He that scattered Israel will also gather him, and keep him as one that feeds his flock."
-Jeremiah 31
