Hebrew 7799 shushan or shoshan or shoshannah - Lily The noun (shushan) appears fifteen times in canonical Scripture. Twelve of those uses are embedded in poetry and song (Psalms, Song of Songs, Hosea), while three describe architectural details of Solomon’s Temple complex (1 Kings 7:19, 22, 26; 2 Chronicles 4:5). Together they show how the lily moved from Israel’s fields into its sanctuary, music, and prophetic hope. Christological Resonance Solomon’s lily-topped pillars faced east, greeting worshipers who entered through sacrifice toward the Holy Place. They silently anticipated the One greater than Solomon, “the Rose of Sharon, the Lily of the valleys” (Song of Songs 2:1), whose pierced side provided the purification real lilies could only symbolize. The New Testament’s “Consider the lilies” (Matthew 6:28) focuses trust on the Father who clothes the fields and will all the more clothe His children in the righteousness of Christ.

Matthew records two separate instances depicting Jesus’ view on paying these taxes. The first incident is recorded in Matthew 17:24-27, where the collectors of the temple tax ask Peter whether Jesus pays that tax. Jesus, knowing of this conversation, asks Peter, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tribute? From their children or from others?” Peter answers, “From others.” Jesus responds, “Then the children are free. However, so that we do not give offense to them, go to the sea and cast a hook; take the first fish that comes up; and when you open its mouth, you will find a coin; take that and give it to them for you and me.” The second incident, concerning the Roman tax, is found in Matthew 22:15-22. Here the Pharisees and Herodians want to entrap Jesus with the question, “Is it lawful to pay taxes to the emperor, or not?” Jesus knows the malice in their hearts and responds with a cutting question, “Why are you putting me to the test, you hypocrites? Show me the coin used for the tax.” When they hand him a denarius, he asks, “Whose head is this, and whose title?” They respond, “The emperor's.” Jesus ends the conversation with the words, “Give therefore to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” Now, listen to what, I’ve never heard before! Read the last sentence again, What Jesus said, With END TIME EYES! It’s clear to see, Jesus is telling us, EXACTLY what is GOING to HAPPEN at the RAPTURE! If your conduct dictates what you say AND what your heart reflects towards Jesus, you ARE His. If not, you are Caesar’s/ Trumps / or Satans....( until proven otherwise) THAT my friends IS The ULTIMATE TAX DAY! —Watch — Tax Greek 5411 https://biblehub.com/greek/5411.htm ( incredibly, the date & 911 can be seen in there)
