INTERPRETATION OF TIMOR-LESTE ISLAND
Timor-Leste , leste meaning East, is a sovereign state island Asian sea, the island is split in half with the west end a part of Indonesia and the east side that gained independence from being a Portugal territory in 1999. It is now part of the association of Asian nations and thus one of two Christian nations in Asia. But also within the west side is a little enclave of belonging to the East. Most of East Timor is marked by low education, extreme poverty. & sustenance farming. Coffee is one of their main exports and Starbucks has heavy investments there.
RELIGION- Roman Catholic 96%, 2.5% protestant, less than 1% muslim.
In 1974 it became LAW for people to only believe in one God, thus RC exploded, but truth is many still practice local tribal animistic. They have a belief that the island was formed by a crocodile in repayment to a boys help, thus “leaving the crocodile” is an expression of sad exile. There are dangerous salt water crocks there.
INTERPRETATION OF IMAGERY
Psa 74:13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters. Psa 74:14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
Sampson said- Out of the strong comes forth sweetness
Crock head pierced by cross with fruitful vine growing up it
Bread of Life
