(( I should have thought this through before starting it ))
If the primary author of this Post had understood this was going to be a novella a better approach would have been devised. Maybe a Table of Contents? A introductory preface or summary statement would probably do well. We are on a forum here on the internet where such things are often simply neglected.
The scope of this thread has rapidly exceeded me and what I once thought of as a conversation of many interested members of the Ecclesia has turned out to be a soliloquy.
Perhaps I should quit this with a brief synopsis of the Chapter? There are many, many sources online that surpass my efforts here with ease. I don't have a doctorate in Theology; if I were personally going to invest my efforts in reading (and digesting) such a work, that would be one of the expected requirements.
Pardon me. I do hope that readers open Pastor Jon's Sermon. He has more of his work uploaded to YouTube.
Part of me wants to shout, "WAKE UP!" but we are constrained to remain quiet and at peace. Solomon's very name means 'peace'. In these tumultuous times the Church needs the active presence of her King of Kings. Fear not. He is and will remain here with us. It was He who shouted (often) "To all those who have an ear to hear, let them hear!" We are told, "Where two or more join, there also am I," and "Forsake not the joining of yourselves together, especially as you see the end approaching." If you are burdened overly? Pause. Quit. Quiet yourself. Calm yourself and look up expectantly. He sees and knows and will not tarry.
Why would one wait when this is what is so urgently needed? Maybe we could ask some of the saints when we see them. I'm thinking of these guys mentioned by Paul in Hebrews 11:35. They are our heroes. Zealots all.
