2 Sunday Fig leaf Toil Paradise Noah’s Ark Dove of peace/Olive branch Lamb/Sheep/Goat Magi

3 Sunday By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

4 Fig leaf “Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together and make themselves converings.” ---Genesis

5 The new constitution is a fig leaf to conceal the dictatorship of the regime.
No big leaf can conceal the sexual scandal of the rascal President.

6 Toil I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. ---Winston Churchill Cursed is the ground beacuse of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. ---Genesis

7 Paradise “Then he said to Jesus, ‘Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom.’ And Jesus said to him, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.’” ---Luke

8 Some people always make complaints over everything even they are living in a country like paradise.
The Third Reich was nothing but a fool’s paradise of Hitler. There is no earthly paradise in the world since drugs, terrorism, robbery, murdering and war exist everythere. A good key is necessary to enter Paradise.

9 Noah’s Ark So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out....” ---Genesis

10 The whole of your article contains nothing but Noah’s ark phrases.
The editor said to him, “Your report on the gun-fight in the congress is just an article telling that the ark rested on Mountain Ararat. You must have come out of ark! You were born in the ark.

11 Dove of peace Then he sent out a dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground. But the dove could find no place to set its feet because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark. He reached out his hand and took the dove and bought it back to himself in the ark.

12 Olive branch He waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark. When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its break was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth. He watied seven more days and sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.

13 Israel’s newly elected prime minister held out the olive branch to the Palestinians by saying that he would continue the peace procession of the Mid-East.

14 Lamb Pascal Lamb “Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the house where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.” ---Exodus

15 Sheep “All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” ---Isaiah (Then Jesus said to them again) “I am the good shepherd. Then good shepherd gives His life to the sheep.” ---John

16 a black sheep There is often a black sheep in every flock. count the sheep If you cannot fall into sleep, count the sheep. follow like sheep Some people do not like to use their brain, but follow false propaganda like sheep. like a sheep to the slaughter He didn’t know it was a minefield and rushed there like a sheep to the slaughter.

17 A sheep often strays if the shepherd is away.
He that makes himslef a sheep shall be eaten by the wolf. If one sheep leaps over the pitch, all the rest will follow. In a large flock, there will be a lamp sheep. It is a silly sheep that goes to a wolf to confess. May as well be hanged for a sheep as for a lamb.

18 Goat separate the sheep from the goats Moses Atonement Day
to get sb’s goat lose one’s goat play the giddy goat Moses Atonement Day Tabernacle Azazel Scapegoat ---Leviticus
