Okay, nerd moment... did anyone else know the High Priest carried holy "dice"? 🤯

Wait, how did I spend 40 years in church and never hear about the Urim and Thummim?! I was doing a deep dive into Exodus, reading about the High Priest's garments. Hidden inside his breastpiece over his heart were these two objects. Scholars believe they were essentially sacred stones used to cast lots—literally physical items used to get a direct "Yes" or "No" from God when the nation was in crisis. It sounds straight out of an Indiana Jones movie! The early Israelites lived in such a gritty, tangible reality with God. He didn't leave them guessing in the dark; He provided a literal, physical mechanism for them to know His will. Thank God we have the Holy Spirit living inside us now, so we don't need to roll stones to hear His voice! #BibleGeek #ExodusMysteries #HolyCuriosity #UrimAndThummim #Scripture

The "Urim and Thummim": Did Israel's priests use holy dice to talk to God? Did vou know the High Priests in the Old Testament basically used sacred dice to hear from God? I was studying Exodus 28 about the "Urim and Thummim." Thev were specific stones kept inside the priest's breastpiece over his heart. When the nation had a massive military decision and didn't know what to do, they would cast these stones to get a direct "Yes" or "No" from God It sounds almost like magic to our modern ears, but it was total surrender to God's sovereignty. Sometimes I really wish I had those physical stones today when I'm agonizing over a life choice! But we have something better: the Holy Spirit inside us. #OldTestamentMysteries #UrimAndThummim #HearingGod #Exodus
