Reflecting on the Great Flood, Charles Spurgeon says this:
“How marvellous the general apathy! They were all eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, till the awful morning dawned.”
Of any moment, place or identity of Man is just this way. What meager number of this day will refuse to be one of the apathetic? God will know who they are. We all either know or can guess the rest of the story.
A man sat in the early morning darkness. The stars lit his face with imperceptible glow.
The chained dog, below the man’s perch, barked at something imperceptible.
Standing, the man spoke to the dog, “What do you see?”
At that the dog ceased its barking and a vague tail could be perceived to wag.
With a kind word. With a peaceful heart, wisdom shut the mouth full of teeth.
What the dog perceived, moved with stealth into the obscurity from which it came.
The dog settled quietly to wait for another perception of breech to his domain.
And the man sat to marvel:
“The promise to Noah has come to me. My sin is stronger than the teeth of my adversaries.”
“Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. 2The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in the sky, on every creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are given into your hands. 3Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.” (Genesis 9:)
So, we have victory over that which comes against us; even the stubbornness of our folly among the things of this world, even the strength of our faith in eternity, even the Promises of the Holy One.
So, the testimony of God’s majesty moves among the men of this place of testing. So, we are without excuse. For the very things of our standing are plainly visible to all who will desire to perceive them. So, will all men be void of excuse!
If even this lowly and vile excuse of a Christian can see these things and understand, how much more so the righteous of God among us? I was not, am not, and have little. Any man can become far more than I, and this by the Grace of God in Christ Jesus His Holy Son.
Answer this question: Why do you marvel at such things? Why do they not swim about with gladness within your very own soul?
In the building of a task there is a beginning and an end. No one who builds according to a specific plan keeps building after the plan is accomplished. A house has a place where it can be called “finished”. You walk to the park, and there is a time and place where you can say you arrived.
Noah was told to build an Ark for the coming flood. And it wouldn’t take a scholar to recognize that the building of an Ark did not go on for the entirety of Noah’s life. There was a final peg pounded into the gopher wood. There was a final animal which entered the doorway. There was a final word spoken among them as the Ark lifted from its mounting. And there were final things done as they left the Ark. In short, the building of the Ark was a one time task the Lord told Noah to do.
This blog has reached that point. The Lord has made it plain to me that I have arrived at the place where His work is completed here. Through me, He has created what is now refered to as a “bag of seeds”. It will remain available for His work. This place is a tool in the tool box of the Lord. He will direct people here as He sees fit. I may add to it from time to time. But the consuming fire to build is over.
The building of this place of testimony has been an absolutely consuming fire within me. And I know it was of His doing. Even as I read back through some of the posts, I’m amazed at the depth of ideas and words. These words were not mine. They were given to me that I might leave a place where the Father is Glorified through Jesus, my Lord. All glory belongs to God!
As you read through these things it is important that you know these are not the words of a man alone. I know that I interpreted what I saw sometimes. But the vast majority of the writings are eternal. And it important to note that these things are not to be considered Scripture. There is, already, Scripture. I have no desire to replace them. It is through the Bible that you too will find inspiration to testify. But itis the Living God who continually provokes glorious testimony from His people.
I encourage everyone to write and speak the glory of God within them. What are we if we don’t contribute to the salvation of men? And what are we if we do not fight with all we have for the Glory of God?
With this post I conclude what was begun in me. I will now live my life as if I had never typed one letter of this blog. Not that I abandon the Lord and His will. But this task is finished.
Father, I ask Your Holy hand to guard this place. To keep Your work separate from me. And to Glorify Yourself in Your work. This has been a magnificent blessing that You have given this poor man to accomplish! And I am honored to have served you in the building of this “bag of seeds”. May the peace You had before the creation of the world return to You and Your people. In the Glorious name of Jesus, I present you this place as it rightfully belongs to You. Amen.
By His Grace.
We: Live, Die, Face Judgment. Jesus or die twice.
