Psalm 150:6 KJV [6] Let every thing that hath breath Praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD. Most Christians know about the feeding of the five thousand. Almost nobody notices the feeding of the four thousand is a completely different event with a completely different meaning. The feeding of the five thousand occurs in all four Gospels — Jesus feeding a Jewish crowd in the region of Galilee with five loaves and two fish, with twelve baskets of fragments collected afterward. The number twelve would have carried immediate resonance for any Jewish reader — twelve tribes of Israel, twelve disciples, twelve as the number of completeness for the covenant people. Feeding Five Thousand Mark 6:34-38, 41-44 KJV [34] And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things. [35] And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed: [36] send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat. [37] He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat? [38] He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes. [41] And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all. [42] And they did all eat, and were filled. [43] And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes. [44] And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men. Then in Matthew 15 and Mark 8, a second feeding miracle occurs. Four thousand people. Seven loaves and a few fish. Seven baskets collected afterward. Feeding Four Thousand Mark 8:5-9 KJV [5] And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven. [6] And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people. [7] And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them. [8] So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets. [9] And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away. The location is the first key. Mark 7:31 specifies that this miracle occurs in the region of the Decapolis — the group of ten largely Gentile cities on the eastern and southeastern side of the Sea of Galilee. Jesus has just healed a deaf and mute man whose friends brought him in an episode where Jesus uses physical gesture and saliva — healing methods more familiar in the Gentile world than in Jewish practice. The crowd that has been with him for three days eating nothing is a Gentile crowd. The numbers are the second key. Seven in Jewish numerology was the number of completion for the nations — God rested on the seventh day, bringing creation to its full completion. Seven loaves, seven baskets — the language of completeness for a people who are not Israel but are equally fed by the same hands. Jesus did not perform the same miracle twice by accident or because the tradition confused two memories of one event. He performed it once in Jewish territory and once in Gentile territory, with numbers that said, to anyone who was listening carefully, that what he had done for Israel he was also doing for the nations. The same bread. The same miracle. Different numbers that meant everything. GODSPOWERPROJECT

www.domimedia.org GOD already made the provision of salvation available unto all, not just for the Israelites Romans 9:22-26 KJV [22] What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: [23] and that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, [24] even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? [25] As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; And her beloved, which was not beloved. [26] And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; There shall they be called the children of the living God. |

Every miracle is an opportunity to teach The feeding was an opportunity to teach them that he is the bread of life John 6:35: "Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst |

Bayoonanuga:people define success differently, to some having eternal life is success while for some, gaining the whole world and losing their soul is success |

I don't think the feeding of 5000 people and feeding of 4000 people is a different story. I think it's another person's view of the same story. And who counted the people? How come they were round figure of 5000? Why not 4996 or 5003? This shows that that figure of 4000 or 5000 was an exaggeration. Yes people were plenty that were fed but nobody knows the actual number hence the 4000 and 5000 story. |

Miracle no Dey tired Jesus but daddy GO dey very selective , dem never feed 5k people at once before despite collecting tithe and offering from hundreds of thousands, na private jets dem dey buy . If you say they Are helping people, I say they are selective, Jesus is accessible to all. Everybody was equal and ate to their fill but I’m sure for Nigeria somebody’s meat or fish go plenty pass your own and some people go dey high table. Holy Hypocrites! |

If you tell them that Oduduwa their ancestors fed 10,000 people with two Akara and palm wine from a calabash, their brains will work and become logical such that they will challenge you critically and laugh it off Then take the same texts to Microsoft word, view> find> Oduduwa>replace with > Jesus Find > Akara > Replace with > Bread Find> Palm Wine > Replace with > Fish Then click replace all. You will start seeing comments like AMEN, Hallelujah. Miracle no dey tire Jesus o ![]() |

echoxyz:Absolutely 💯. The difference in the number is simply another person's account of the same event but trust this people, they run to town without thinking deeply about it. For instance, some account says Jesus carried the Cross all by himself while another says, someone was mandate to carry it at a point. Same event but different accounts. |

Godspowerpro:When is any Christian alive today gonna repeat this miracle? Has your god become powerless or like I can say with a high degree of confidence, doesn't exist? |

geoworldedu:All religions have their own , okay in Yoruba mythology the world was created by a diety using chains to descend from heaven carrying a cock and snail shell 🐚 filled with sand , the sand was poured from the shell to the water that fills the earth then and the cock was spreading it like they used to spread sand when searching for food . And they yorubas and traditionals believe it .. each religion to its own. Even in Islam, I read about a creature that holy ones rode on , with the face of a human body of horse and with wings . My take is that every religion has their own kind of miracles or weird stuffs but religion is not science it’s spirituality , it’s not supposed to be logical , it’s supernatural things beyond human comprehension. Glory be to God |

saintkel:Christians like most Peter Obi supporters do not read any test that is more than four lines. They prefer to go to church only on sundays to show off their new cloths and shoes and listen to their motivational speaker called pastor who is spewing human philosophy as doctrine and that is the same with Peter Obi supporters they are echo chamber of pickup lines from their whatsapp group admin that has no logical thinking behind it and when you try to reason with them they become aggressive and start insulting you for asking them to think and articulate their points in support of Peter Obi than against Tinubu but they have nothing to say in support of Peter Obi because he did more of nothing than anything but they prefer to say more of irrational points against Tinubu. |
