Flight through Border: Day One "Given-Taken"

Hello and welcome to Mourning Cloak’s K-pop flight!!  I am Mourning Cloak and I am glad you could join me!  Here's the podcast that relates to this Flight - https://open.spotify.com/episode/6WVWeqJfkHgRBX2D58keco

 
Below are some of the highlights from the podcast including the Bible verses in case I read where they were from too quickly,  links to what I discussed in the podcast, and some visuals that cannot be provided in a podcast setting.

For this flight, I read the lyrics from Border: Day One "Given-Taken".  I'll have a second podcast covering the music video and theories related it and their connections with Christianity.

For Enhypen, here's a link to an article discussing that 6 tested positive for COVID-19.  https://www.thestar.com.my/lifestyle/entertainment/2021/09/08/six-members-from-k-pop-boy-band-enhypen-test-positive-for-covid-19
I've heard nothing additional about any other positive results, so I'm assuming Sunoo escaped without getting it.  A few have posted on various social media channels that they are recovered - I think I've seen possibly all but Ni-ki who was diagnosed last, and Ni-ki doesn't regularly post on what sites I watch.  I'm getting old and am not on all the hip sites 😂. 

Update on 9/16 - There was a tweet showing the full group together!!!  All healthy again 💕

Here's a link to the YouTube playlist.  In includes songs previously discussed, the Given-Taken mv, the Japanese mv, a lyrics mv, the songs mentioned in the podcast, and a video on the proper pronunciation of names since I'm hopeless and couldn't even get one of the easiest ones right!

Below are the Bible verses we discussed on the podcast and the song line I was connecting it to.

Given-Taken

Job 1:21 [Job] said, "Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised."

🎵Wake up in day one

First day morning

Lights shining 

Eyes of the sun 🎵

Genesis 1

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning - the first day.

🎵 That light blinded me 🎵

Acts 9 The story of Saul's conversion

Acts 13:9 "Saul who was also called Paul"

🎵 But I go now, follow my dreams

Dive into red sun, no lie 🎵

Dive by Stephen Curtis Chapman

🎵"I’m diving in, I’m going deep, In over my head I want to be

Caught in the rush, lost in the flow, in over my head I want to go

The river’s deep, the river’s wide, the river’s water is alive

so sink or swim I’m diving in"🎵

All In by Matthew West

🎵 Countless stars, countless moons

I was wandering in the woods of questions 🎵

Jeremiah 33:22 

I will make the descendants of David my servant and the Levites who minister before me as countless as the stars in the sky and as measureless as the sand on the seashore.

Hebrews 11

8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed, and went, even though he did not know where he was going. 9 By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. 11 And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise. 12 And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.

🎵 I followed the light in the dark 🎵

John 1

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Matthew 2 The magi following the star to Jesus

 🎵You calling me over the thin line

I who calls you 🎵

This verse takes me back to the song we discussed last episode, ""Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" which starts "You call me out upon the waters" and the next verse is "And I will call upon Your Name"

 🎵 In a shower of fate's arrows 🎵

Ezekiel 21:21 For the king of Babylon will stop at the fork of the road, at the junction of the two roads, to seek an omen: He will cast lots with arrows, he will consult his idols, he will examine the liver.

🎵. Red blood On that Crown

That blood Dripping Down 🎵

Mark 15: 17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him.

🎵. Red blood

My fingers pointing to you keep staining red 🎵

John 8 - The woman brought to the temple to be judged for committing adultery

Below are the verses that I was hoping you all might have some suggestions on!  In the podcast, for the first, I could only think of one connection while for the second I thought of nothing.  The first connection was to the story in Mark 9 of Jesus healing a boy possessed by an impure spirt when his father asked Jesus to help him overcome his doubt.

Thousands of doubts behind me
More thousands of mistrust behind me
But I go now, follow my dreams
Drive through the question for life

Between giving and taking
It’s time for my proving
We’ve been waiting for that sky

🦋 I’m hoping our butterfly effect on this flight together will help to make the world better for all of us.  Thank you for joining me on this flight and I look forward to our next discussion about the music video for this song!  🦋
