It's Not That the Truth Is Too Difficult to See...

“It is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes… 

“We make mistakes because the easiest and most comfortable course for us—is to seek insight where it accords with our emotions—especially selfish ones.” (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn) —DZ

It is easy to appreciate an “historic” prophet

From the distance of time and space.

Harder—yet Better—to Hear and Apply

When a prophet is NOW, and in YOUR face.

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!”

“For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew Him not, nor did they hear the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled the Scriptures by condemning Him.”

“He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.”

“But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished.”

“But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.”

“His winnowing fork is in his hand to clean up his threshing floor. He will gather the grain into his barn, but he will burn the chaff with inextinguishable fire.”

“I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!”

“They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.”

“It is the same now.” (Gal.4) —AR 7:28pm
