drelen’s summary on leprosy

Friday, April 6, 12

In Leviticus chapter 13, the entire chapter speaks on leprosy. Leprosy as Christ stated was just a scab. Before Christ walked on the earth, leprosy was treated in a different manner. If a man had this scab or bright spot on his skin, he was supposed to be brought before the priest, or one of the sons of the priest.

The priest is to then examine the skin and if the hair was white and the plague be deeper than his skin, he is unclean. If the sight of the plague wasn't deeper than the skin, then the priest was to shut him up for seven days. Then, on the seventh day, the priest has to examine him again and if the plague was still dark but the skin was not affected, he shall be pronounced as clean. But, if the scab does spread throughout the skin, he has to see the priest again. If it spreads again, he will be pronounced unclean and will be shut up for seven days.

I think people were so desperate for Christ to heal them because leprosy really distorts your physical appearance. Leprosy makes people look older than what they are and sometimes depressed. In 2 Kings chapter 5 it's speaks about a man named Namaan who had the plague of leprosy.

Friday, April 6, 12

Now Naaman was the captain of the host of the king of Syria. He was a great man who was honored because the Lord gave deliverance to him unto Syria.

Namaan was a mighty man. In this chapter it talks about how he was sent off to be cleansed from his plague of leprosy because he was a leper.

Friday, April 6, 12

And great multitudes came unto him, having with them [those that were] lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

Matthew 15: 30-31

Blindness is something that occurs within the eyes, normally from birth. If you aren’t born blind, that doesn’t mean you can’t become blind later in life. The etiology of blindness or how it occurs is blindness is the lacking of vision due to physiological reasons. The pathogenesis of blindness or the cause of blindness could be a form of eye disease, inheritance, or maybe even diabetes in some cases.

The manifestations and effects that occur with blindness include discomfort within the eyes, irregular body sensations, and headaches often. Just because you are blind, doesn’t mean that there aren’t treatments to help you. Besides Braille, people who are visually impaired have cataract surgery tests, medications in the form of liquid, medications in the form of a pill, and much more. Even in some cases, studies state that the surgery sometimes restores their sight.

Recently this past week, I’ve been challenged to do the dishes while being blindfolded. Now, I really have some knowledge of how it feels to be blind all the time.

Being blind is very hard because you almost always have to depend on someone. You become very frustrated at times because you cannot see. The lives of the visually impaired really lie within the helper. Being blind is extremely hard to go through on an everyday basis!
