The Magazines

A magazine is a periodical publication, available in print or digital formats, that provides content on a particular topic or a range of topics, often for a general audience. Magazines are distinguished from newspapers by their subject-specific focus and appearance, typically featuring glossy paper, photographs, and articles like essays, stories, and news. They are usually published weekly or monthly and can be financed through advertising, sales, or subscriptions.  

Key characteristics:

• Periodical: Published at regular intervals, such as weekly or monthly. 

• Content: Contains a variety of textual and visual content, including articles, stories, photos, and advertisements.

• Format: Can be printed on glossy paper or available digitally.

• Purpose: Provides information, entertainment, or a combination of both for a specific or broad audience. 

• Financing: Funded through advertising revenue, direct sales, or prepaid subscriptions.

Types of magazines:

• Consumer magazines: A broad category that includes general interest titles and those focused on specific areas like fashion, sports, or hobbies. 

• Trade magazines: Aimed at professionals in a particular industry. 

Origins:

• The term "magazine" comes from the Arabic word makhzan, meaning "storehouse" or "granary". 

• The concept of regular, subject-focused publications began in the 17th century, with the first true magazine, "Edifying Monthly Discussions," published by Johan Wrist, according to a YouTube video, in 1765. 

Magazine is a periodical publication containing articles and illustrations, often on a particular subject or aimed at a particular readership e.g museum of bible magazine and bible magazine.

The Magazines are cartoons, blogs, journals and pamphlets about The Literatures of Homes and Abodes.  

The Magazines are groups of literatures regarding jobs, occupations, vocations, businesses, careers, professions offered by Homes and Abodes.

The Magazines as groups of cartoons, blogs, journals, pamphlets are parts, members and portions of the home abode (body, spirit, soul) literatures of the homes and abodes.

The life and death or non (life and death) deities or beings are magazine literatures with pages as past, present and future realms, environments, atmospheres or dimensions of experiences.

Each past, present and future pages of magazine literatures as realms, environments, atmospheres or dimensions are like musical staff. The staff is the framework upon which all musical notation such as notes and other symbols are written, listened, read, taught, studied, heared, learnt, meditated, and drawn.

Examples of notes are sport game players while examples of symbols are sport game officials. The staff is made up five horizontal lines with four spaces in between which is similar to sport game (spectator stands and players benches). Each of these lines and spaces represents different musical pitches e.g sport game pitches and pitches in books.

Biblical notes about the body

1 Corinthians 12:12-31

' For just as the body is a unity and yet has many parts, and all the parts, though many, form [only] one body, so it is with Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). For by [means of the personal agency of] one [Holy] Spirit we were all, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free, baptized [and by baptism united together] into one body, and all made to drink of one [Holy] Spirit. 

For the body does not consist of one limb or organ but of many. If the foot should say, Because I am not the hand, I do not belong to the body, would it be therefore not [a part] of the body? If the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I do not belong to the body, would it be therefore not [a part] of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where [would be the sense of] hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where [would be the sense of] smell? 

But as it is, God has placed and arranged the limbs and organs in the body, each [particular one] of them, just as He wished and saw fit and with the best adaptation. But if [the whole] were all a single organ, where would the body be? And now there are [certainly] many limbs and organs, but a single body. And the eye is not able to say to the hand, I have no need of you, nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. But instead, there is [absolute] necessity for the parts of the body that are considered the more weak. 

And those [parts] of the body which we consider rather ignoble are [the very parts] which we invest with additional honor, and our unseemly parts and those unsuitable for exposure are treated with seemliness (modesty and decorum), Which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so adjusted (mingled, harmonized, and subtly proportioned the parts of) the whole body, giving the greater honor and richer endowment to the inferior parts which lack [apparent importance], So that there should be no division or discord or lack of adaptation [of the parts of the body to each other], but the members all alike should have a mutual interest in and care for one another. And if one member suffers, all the parts [share] the suffering; if one member is honored, all the members [share in] the enjoyment of it. 

Now you [collectively] are Christ's body and [individually] you are members of it, each part severally and distinct [each with his own place and function]. So God has appointed some in the church [for His own use]: first apostles (special messengers); second prophets (inspired preachers and expounders); third teachers; then wonder-workers; then those with ability to heal the sick; helpers; administrators; [speakers in] different (unknown) tongues. Are all apostles (special messengers)? 

Are all prophets (inspired interpreters of the will and purposes of God)? Are all teachers? Do all have the power of performing miracles? Do all possess extraordinary powers of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? But earnestly desire and zealously cultivate the greatest and best gifts and graces (the higher gifts and the choicest graces). And yet I will show you a still more excellent way [one that is better by far and the highest of them all–love].'

The Hands

Humans have five fingers on each hand: thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger (also called pinky).The thumb is often distinguished from the other fingers due to its unique anatomy and function. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Thumb: The thumb is the first digit, and while often considered a finger, it's anatomically distinct from the other four fingers. It has two phalanges, while the other fingers have three. 

• Index Finger: The second digit, also known as the pointer finger or forefinger. 

• Middle Finger: The third digit, also called the long finger. 

• Ring Finger: The fourth digit, often associated with wearing a wedding ring. 

• Little Finger: The fifth digit, also known as the pinky or small finger.

For instance, depending on the hand orientation e.g right hand:

The left arm is right index finger

The left leg is right middle finger

The right leg is right ring finger

The right arm is right little finger

The head (right hemisphere of the brain) is right thumb

For instance, depending on the hand orientation e.g left hand:

The right arm is left index finger

The right leg is left middle finger

The left leg is left ring finger

The left arm is left little finger

The head (left hemisphere of the brain) is left thumb

Biblical notes about hands

The spirits, souls and bodies as body parts, members or portions are the hand e.g "kingdom of God is at hand".

The phrase "the Kingdom of God is at hand" is a core message in Jesus' ministry, found in the Gospels. It signifies that the divine rule and reign of God is present and available, requiring a response of repentance and faith. Jesus' presence and actions, including healing and casting out demons, are seen as evidence of God's Kingdom already being near. 

Here's a more detailed look:

• "The time is fulfilled..." (Mark 1:15):
  This phrase indicates that the promised time for God's intervention has come, marking the beginning of his reign through Jesus. 

• "Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand" (Mark 1:15, Matthew 3:2):
  This call to repentance signifies that people must turn away from their sins and embrace God's rule. Repentance is a key element in entering the Kingdom. 

• "The kingdom of God is not coming with observable signs... but the kingdom of God is in your midst." (Luke 17:20-21):
  This verse suggests that the Kingdom's arrival is a spiritual reality, not a sudden, visible event, and that it's already present within those who are receptive to God's grace. 

• The Kingdom's Nature:
  The Kingdom is not just a geographical place but a reign of righteousness, peace, and God's blessings. It's a realm of spiritual transformation and a relationship with God. 

• The Gospel's Importance:
  The good news of the Kingdom is that God is offering his reign and a relationship with him, inviting people to choose to live under his rule. 

• Jesus' Role:
  Jesus is the key figure in the Kingdom, the one who fulfills God's promises and offers access to his rule. 

The Feet

The five toes are called the big toe (or hallux), second toe, third toe, fourth toe (or ring toe), and fifth toe (or little toe, pinky toe, or baby toe).

For instance, depending on the foot orientation e.g right foot:

The left arm is right long toe

The left leg is right middle toe

The right leg is right ring toe

The right arm is right little toe

The head (right hemisphere of the brain) is right big toe

For instance, depending on the foot orientation e.g left foot:

The right arm is left long toe

The right leg is left middle toe

The left leg is left ring toe

The left arm is left little toe

The head (left hemisphere of the brain) is left big toe
