Signal of the Signet Ring


Definition of Signet- A seal or ring used by an a official much like a personal signature to give authority to a document.


Here are some biblical examples of usage:


Righteous Examples
Joseph received Pharaoh's ring because he interpreted his dream.The ring was placed to Joseph authority so he could rule over Egypt's well affairs. Genesis Chapter 41

Mordeci was given the ring from Ahasuerus after being proven a friend of the Persian Kingdom, and Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman. Esther Chapter 8.

Zorobabel was like a signet ring because he won a contest using wisdom to remind King Darius of his promise to rebuild Jerusalem. 1 Esdras chapter 4, Sirach chapter 49:11.


Unrighteous Examples
Jezebel took the signet from her husband Ahab to bear false witness and murder Naboth stealing his garden which was coveted by her husband. 

In conclusion, we can learn from the scriptures that a signet ring was utilized as proof of identity, receiving of goods, given to for show of loyalty, wisdom, and abused for ill-will as power of authority. The power of the signet ring lays in the hands of the beholder.

Dear,Teenage World Chronicles

Dear, Teenage World
Everyone been through it
Yes it's true
But at the moment my problem is diiferent from you
Sometimes us teens feel that way
But this teen right here is in the truth to stay
Yes i'm young
But I'm strong
Words hurt but they won't stay for long
Christ was a teen so we can talk to him
He understand a teen world differnt from them(adults)
Sometimes they forgot that they were teens just like us
But don't be mad at them for being "hard on you"
They just want the best for you
Take time with them as they take time with you
Because they can abandon you in the teen world
Going blind and wounded in to the adult world
Just think about it a couple of years
With people I might not know in 20 years
Love yourself and fight through this teen world cause one
A new chapter will be created
