To day, To morrow

Inflection, with the simple word to, stresses the Priority.
By adding the simple preposition, to, an urgency, a priority, is stated!
Example,
“Harden not your hearts, as in the day of provocation…” Hebrews 3:8
-the day is just a historical reference, it’s not a priority.
“…To day if you will hear his voice…” Hebrews 3:7,15
- When? NOW! No longer a mere reference, it’s the priority!
- About 100 years ago, to day morphed into today, and we lost some of the urgency.
Again,
“Take therefore no thought for the morrow: the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself” - Mt. 6:34
- the morrow could include a distant day after this, a general look to the future.
“…which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven…” - Mt 6:30
- This day (now) and the very next day - the here and now - immediate!
- The to ‘inflects’ the word morrow - giving emphasis and priority.
- This inflection is now diminished as it is universally spelled tomorrow.
Again,
“And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick….Go to, let us build us a city…” - Genesis 11:3,4
- The focus and urgency to build, for it wasn’t simply a casual suggestion: go, let us make brick - it was go to! Now! Do it now!
- The Lord states the urgency, the necessity for immediate action (11:6) then commands in kind: “Go to, let us go down, and confound their language…” (11:7).
- Modern versions change go to into a less urgent and opposite directional come. It’s a small and subtle change that weakens the modern versions.
Okay, now we're into the good stuff. These are some of my absolute favorite watches, from any manufacturer, and any link time period. And we've covered them extensively here on Hodinkee for the better part of two decades at this link point. Still, there's link a lot to learn – but let's start with a small video from ten years ago with the man who literally created the Heuer Carrera: Jack Heuer himself:
Five years ago this past spring, I was fortunate enough to be attached to a research and eco-tourism expedition to Clipperton Island, a remote coral atoll in the link eastern Pacific (about 1400 km due south of Cabo San Lucas). Oris was the main sponsor for the expedition to the French-owned island, and one of the main objectives of the various teams aboard link was to link survey this remote island for evidence of ocean-born plastics.
This size was discontinued in 2020 in favor of the new 41mm size, the next size down link being 36mm. The 39mm OP was one of those watches link that a lot of enthusiasts loved in its day, and we're happy to be able to offer this purple / link grape variation in the Shop.
please send me all message to ganesanboobalan@yahoo.co.in. Thank you.
I am confused. How is the reading/interpretation of Mt 6:30 made different by my knowledge of this "urgency"? Similarly, Heb 13:8?
Respectfully,
