Bible Note: Note: Emmaus: Thank you for your reply. "The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong ... but time and chance happen to them all" - Eccl 9.11. Let me share with you an anecdote: Mary Slaney was in a women's 16K race in Canada against a Swede who had just set the world record for that event. The race was televised worldwide. Slaney came out fast, and took an early lead. She was challenged by several others for the point of the race, but she held them all off. Mary continued to lead until near the end of the race. The last mile was four laps in a stadium track. The earnest contenders made a valiant effort to catch her. With 110 yards to go, they were all winded, and began to lag behind. At that time, I said to myself, "The race is over." Then a stocky old man pushed between two spectators on the infield of the track, stuck his head and chest onto the track. Mary Slaney was down and out. I do not recall who won the race; but it certainly was not the swift. This demonstrated the control of God in the affairs of men, and women. Wisdom and Understanding, and Knowledge, operate by the same method: "You have to be in the right place at the right time." The Lord God Almighty has blessed me tremendously, for I was raised up in the faith during the Millennium (AD 1859 - 1959). They called themselves "The Restoration Movement"; and Disciples of Christ, and Christian Churches, and Churches of Christ. I am a historian of Bible Commentaries from the Protestant Reformation Movement, and from the Millennium, and from "Satan loosed a Little" (Rev 20.3 - AD 1959- 2004; continuing to AD 2015. In 1943, a man of God taught a summary of Jesus' Revelation in one hour. I was 10 years old. Papal Dark Ages. Papal Inquisitions. Babylon fell AD 1870 (this is in all encyclopedias under "Italy"). "Satan will be loosed in the future" (Rev 20.7-8). "To be forewarned is to be forearmed." I witnessed the "Murder of the Millennium." I met "Gog" face-to-face. I am, "A Living Link to the Millennium." The churches today are unaware of our teaching during the Millennium. "The Censorship"; or, "The Filthy Five" has banned our teaching. For "Filthy Five" see: Rev 20.7-10. I have never read a man who believed in "The 7 Spirits of God." And, I have done a lot of reading. But Jesus had taught me what they are, and how to receive them,and how to keep them (for some lose this priceless treasure; see: Heb 6.1-9). The history of the kingdom of God on earth, is being suppressed by The Censorship. Jesus also informed me of "The Miracle of 1992." For over 1900 years Bible expositors and churches have been bold to deny that "God can count to three." But now, "The Elect" can count to three. Sent in love, sid |
