Mr. Fagan...
The law of Moses in Malachi, does not point to Moses as the servant in the form of the two witnesses, not in the context of Malachi 4:4 alone. I get where it goes, and believe such, but in verse 4 of Malchi 4 What is called to rememberance is the works of the servant and not the servant. The proof of this is in syntax...in vs. 6. But first the verses preceding show two groups. Those that will be as stubble i.e. the wicked, proud who will burn up as the chaff, and those who fear the name of The Lord of Hosts.
Vs. 4 is counsel to the wise to choose to be a part of the latter of those two groups. I see only one witness here, perahaps the other is in Liverpool, but he is not in Malachi. If verses 4 and 5 were speaking of TWO witnesses, then the syntax of verse six should read "And THEY shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to the fathers." But the passage reads..."And He shall turn..." This renders to logic that verse four is a reference to the actual law of Moses, and not the person him
I am sorry sir, it seems I have failed to read chapter 2, I am simply exhausted. I was further from the end of Chapter one than I thought. I continue...but I must sleep...my body is overcome with fatigue.
You know I read in chapter one about the saints having something...they have the "testimony" Jesus....I wonder how many he offered it to? How many he said "would you like to read my testimony...?" to receive no reply. You know his family thought he was crazy. Mark chapter 3 states his disciples, having been sent to fetch him state "he is beside himself."...interesting. Do you know what that prhase means?
Then this
"We are to learn here how God breaks His word in order to save mankind. This is similar to what was done in the crucifixion of Christ 2,000 years ago. That was the form it took back then." another example...."Jonah"...God breaks his word to Jonah to spare ninevah.
"It is important to try to balance all the pieces of the puzzle in the mind simultaneously in order to see the connections."
I am not nit picking sir, just looking for all the peieces...in this case a corner piece. You know it is interesting to think that perhaps the elect in 1844 were Hiram Edson, James White, Joeseph Bates and Ellen G Harmon.
(1:15 am)
WOW...I just read about the Seven last plagues and FIRST PLAGUES...Sir you really need to read what I posted last week on the Discussion board...I have witnessed no less than 7 plagues this last year. In and of themselves, no one seems alarmed...watch Austrailia in the next weeks. I was told of the Spirit to Call for many of them, sir I see an to an inquiry in your writings, and they are most helpful. (1:25 am)
There are at least twelve plagues recorded in the Old Testament on Egypt. I only just recently learned this...tradition teaches ten, but tradition nailed Christ to the cross as well.
Mans folly contributing to the plagues...all in the post sir, I knew it was you.
August 1st, 2008, there will be a solar Eclipse, a Total eclipse....About August 12(give or take a couple days) the Perseids meteor shower in which one falling star a minute will be visible to the naked eye for several hours. I may be wrong, but I don't think a lunar eclipse is scheduled in between the time frame...if this is the case, it will take an act of God or some great tragedy to turn the Moon to blood, perhaps a pillar of Smoke
It is now 2:13 am, I just finished chapter one. I apologize for (Not) fulfilling my word. Please pray for me as I read Chapter 2 beginning later today after school, I must go to bed.
I started from the beggining again. I like to read verses and verify, as well as follow up. But I assure sir, If God grants me this next week, I will read one chapter a night.
Please note that the opinions here, are not set in stone, I reserve the right to do that, or not to, at such time as I have finished reading. I merely note them, because that is where I am and for the moment those are hard to get past.
ONE question I would like an immediate answer to at your earliest convience.
In your summation of Chapter on, you mention
"Under the first four seals we are shown a rider on horses of different colours beginning with white and followed by red, black and pale. "
I perceive A RIDER (one) on several different horses...the language above in your statement...does this say the same thing?
1 rider on several horses? If so , it would explain alot.
Or am I wrong in percieving you to have said such?
what I find in your message tonight, is that our spirits are in harmony. There are some points which seem slightly different in presentation, but the message thus far seems the same. I witnessed 7 plagues last year, even though I was told to speak them in timeframes prior to thier making headlines, in nearly all cases...man was the cause.
California bullfrogs threatening France's eco system and Puerto Rican Coqui frog doing the same in Hawaii, products of global shipping. There were others, Murrain...
Thank you sir for this opportunity.
Thank you sir for Chapter one, I pray I get to chapter 2
--Steve
