verses read: Jeremiah 46
prayer: 5 minutes
This passage begins the final portion of the book of Jeremiah. Another series of prophecies before the epilogue. Long chapters ahead.
Slept pretty well last night, only problem was the few minutes before I fell asleep, was thinking of something really deep, or so I thought. Someone had asked the question, “What is a real number” on Yahoo Answers. And some smart alec replied, “A real number is an element of an ordered field”. (Or so I thought that was the reply.)
So the following went through my head, if a real is an element of an ordered field, then the real number line has to be bijective to it. But then, the rationals also form an ordered field, but the reals and the rationals are certainly not bijective! The reals are not countable, unlike the rationals. So there seems to be a problem there! Well, when I woke up and we to check, I realise there wasn’t a problem after all, the actual answer was “A real number is an element of a complete ordered field.” According to what I found online, that is indeed true. Well, that’s what happens when you mix set theory and sleepiness together. Well, better than counting sheep.
Maundy Thursday, today is Maundy Thursday. And at tonight’s service, finally found out what “Maundy” means. It is actually derived from some Greek Word, which is the root word for “commandment” and “mandate”. So, Maundy Thursday is also a day to remember the last few commandments Jesus made before His crucifixion. Interesting, I must research on this more.
