Well! Come! to THE Great BACK Forrest! Psalm 50:10 says, "All the Animals of the Forrest are Mine, and I own the Cattle On A Thousand Hills!"
While we do speak English here in THE Great BACK Forrest, you may feel like what you are reading and hearing is (almost) another language! But we think it is English at it's best! You will find puns, acronyms, word play, innovative spelling, alliteration always, and an abundance of hidden meaning! We love to seek and find! The Kingdom of GOD, Firs' and Four Moose, of course!
What is THE Great BACK Forrest? It is Forrest of the Bought'tea!
Forrest, just as it sounds. For rest. "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest."
For rest. The core Mines'trees here are Massage (which we call Christmassage and Myrrh'sage) and Prayer, which both give rest.
For rest. We are POUR! Servaunts "for rest" of our lives.
For rest. There are many others. "For rest" of those!
Forrest of the Bought'tea! Bought'tea! is the Body of Christ, and this is meant as care for our bodies, which are temples of the Holy Spirit. "You have been BOUGHT with a price. You are not your own. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are His." "Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all for the glory of God!"
Forrest of the Bought'tea! Jesus PURCHASED (bought) with His blood peoples for His praise from every tongue, tribe and nation!
Bought'tea! TEA! is an English acronym made up of Greek words, "Ta Ethne Alleluia!" which means, "All Peoples Praise the LORD!"
the Bought'tea! are the people purchased, bought with a price, for His praise and glory from every tongue, tribe, and nation!

All the animals of the forest are His! He owns the cattle on a thousand hills! He who did not spare His own son, but gave Him up for us all, how will He not with Him graciously give us all things?)

Will You Hold the Rope?
William Carey (born August 17, 1761) was a missionary extraordinaire to India, and Andrew Fuller (born February 6, 1754) was his chief support. Carey famously said to Fuller (and a few others) "I will go if you will hold the rope." He had likened taking the Good News of Great Joy for All People to India, to going down into a mine, wherein was great treasure and great risk, and a venture not to be entered into alone. To this mission venture he pledged his life, as long as his friends would "hold the rope" by supporting him with prayer and resources.
"Our undertaking to India really appeared at its beginning to me somewhat like a few men, who were deliberating about the importance of penetrating a deep mine, which had never before been explored. We had no one to guide us; and whilst we were thus deliberating, Carey, as it were, said, "Well, I will go down, if you will hold the rope." But, before he descended, he, as it seemed to me, took an oath from each of us at the mouth of the pit, to this effect that "whilst we lived, we should never let go the rope." -Andrew Fuller, in a letter to Christopher Anderson
"throp'E!' of Fullaunthrop'E! (Fuller's name is in Fullaunthrop'E!) is braided together with 3 strands: Gold-Frankincense-Myrrh!
*Bought'tea! is a word for body, our temple of the Holy Spirit
"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from GOD? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor GOD with your bodies."1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Bought'tea! is a word for the Body of Christ among "all peoples" Jesus bought peoples from every tribe, tongue, and nation with His blood
Again-this is why I use the word Purchased rather than Unreached 'tea! in Bought'tea! is an acronym for "ta ethne alleluia!" which is Greek and means, "all peoples praise the Lord!" When Jesus gave The Great Commission (Matthew 28) He said to make disciples of "ta ethne", "all peoples"....so... if we make disciples, they will praise the LORD and since "alleluia!" means "praise the Lord!" then "ta ethne alleuia", "all peoples praise the Lord!" fits Fullaunthrop'E! to a 'tea! Wouldn't you say?
