Was Zechariah Deaf and Dumb? ~ No! ~ See Why! ~ ????????

(Luke 1:62)

"Then they asked his father for signs what he wanted him to be called."

Why did they have to ask him for signs? WAS IT DEAF IN ADDITION TO DUMB?

Did Zechariah become mute and deaf? No. Only his speech was affected. Others asked "by signs" what he wanted to name the child, but not because Zechariah was deaf. He most likely heard what his wife had told him about naming his son. Perhaps others asked Zechariah about this by making a sign or a gesture. The fact that it was only necessary to restore his speech indicates that Zechariah's hearing had not been affected (Luke 1:13, 18-20, 

????????

Zechariah, who had been mute since the angel's announcement, was often forced to use gestures, a kind of sign language, to express himself. For example, he "kept beckoning" to those in the temple. (Luke 1:21, 22) 

When you later ordered a tablet, you must have used signs or gestures. (Luke 1:63) It is possible, therefore, that those around him during his period of silence were also inclined to use gestures. - Bible Speaks

    • By the way, if you're into stuff like this, you might wanna check out https://thepythagoras.com/. They have some neat articles about ancient civilizations and their contributions to science and math. It’s really interesting how much we owe to these early thinkers.
    • The Dendera Zodiac is such an amazing piece of history. Imagine ancient Egyptians looking up at the same stars we do now and creating this detailed map. It's mind-blowing! So, what do I think about it? I think it's a fascinating blend of art and astronomy. Those ancient folks really knew their stuff. The way they incorporated their gods and mythologies into the constellations is just brilliant. And it's not just about the stars, it’s a glimpse into how they viewed the universe and their place in it.
    • FIFA's collaboration with Algorand represents a significant milestone for blockchain technology. Algorand will serve as the official blockchain platform for FIFA, supporting events such as the FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in 2023 and the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in 2022. This partnership is poised to enhance FIFA's digital asset management while boosting Algorand's visibility through advertising and promotional opportunities. On another note, I've been tuning into African football recently. The match between Kanifing East FC and Latrikunda United was unexpectedly impressive. African football often goes underappreciated, yet the skill and enthusiasm in these matches are evident. We can expect even more significant development and excitement in African football with increased attention and support.
