Eccl. 1:9-10 + Eccl. 3:15 has at least a double Prophecy, & Gen. 42:32 tell's us when it has been doubled that it is because it has been established by God and that He will 'shortly bring it to pass.'
OK: In Acts 5:18-29 we find a real test for the early church. Note that this history is said to be repeated. And remember that old Israel were the ones who needed Rome's power for they were power/less of Christ! (Church/State) 'We have NO King but Caesar' was their truthful cry! (Matt. 23:38!)
[18] And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
[19] But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,
[20] Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
[21] And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel and sent to the prison to have them brought.
[22] But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told,
[23] Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
[24] Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.
[25] Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
[26] Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.
[27] And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,
[28] Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.
(and just a thought here!;) some of us will have the Rom. 13 chapter worn about out with these repeated ones false 2 Cor. 4:2 stuff! But note what not only Peter said, but what they ALL Documented in Print!)
[29] Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, [[We ought to obey God rather than men]].
[And that is what the FIRST four Commandments or First table of Stone recording was all about, our duty to God number one! ]
