John 6:28-35:
"28. Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29. Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30. They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31. Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33. For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34. Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35. And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst."
This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
I remember reading/hearing about it all being symbolic numbers, i.e. Enoch lives 365 years before being taken up into Heaven, and Lamech lives to 777.
Counting up all of the ages from Adam to Moses comes to a nice round 12,600.
Fascinating stuff
Following on from that, Matthew 7:22-23:
"22. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
It's hard to imagine what being face-to-face with the Risen Lord and told "I never knew you" must feels like.

I am very clever and this is proof of my cleverness
Scotland then: Bannockburn, Robert the Bruce, William Wallis
Scotland now: Football violence, Ice Cream Wars, nightly bottlings
Then again, we have Bradford...
SNP is a special breed of leftie politics that I've still not managed to quite understand.
Can't blame you for leaving
I'm a proud Englishman, but Scotland is clearly the superior nation of the Union 😂
Oh yeah, I forget you have wild camping laws in Scotland. Always wanted to give it a go.
Walking St Columba's Way is something I've toyed with doing too
Alone again, naturally
I think you've just helped me plan my holiday for next year
And you've got red squirrels there
