Stephanie and I had a bit of a chat today about these chapters, in fact about all the prophetic books and how they relate to us. A lot of people, in fact doubt, that the Old Testament has relevance to us today. I believe it does. Now this is my opinion. I believe, at this time, that the church is the spiritual if you will, nation of Israel. That is my opinion. It may or may not be true but I believe it is.
Take a look at 2 Chronicles 7:14. Who are God's people? Who are called by His name? Is that not us? Don't get me wrong, God hasn't forgotten, nor is He finished with the nation of Israel. But, in my opinion, for the time being we're it.
Any one see that web page "Amos visits America?" For those of you who did it was a bit hard hitting. It was to me. Ezekiel is a bit like that. The people had taken articles from the temple and made idols out of them. How does that relate? Well, it just might be possible that some folk might have made idols out of some things from the church.
Today's text is very sobering. The Glory of God left the temple. The seriousness of that can't be over stressed. Imagine if the Holy Spirit was to depart the church? The implications of that don't bare thinking about. It is the stuff nightmares are made of.
So that was today's Bible reading from St Luke's. There was lots in it. Some of it quite scary.
On to other things. As I write this every one, except me, is in bed. Stephanie has a good dose of the flu. Catherine has decided that beside mum is the place to be. And Michele is in her bed examine the insides of her eye lids. She is asleep.
Work was interesting. The last train I did today I left on time from in town and arrived here 10 minutes late. How come I lost so much time? I caught up with the train in front of me. What was the matter with him? I don't know. I hope tomorrow is better as I have to drive into town and drive home in my car. I am going out tomorrow night and don't want to be late. Then I have a 4 day break.
Oh, by the way, Catherine is 13 weeks old and full of smiles. I am amazed at how well the two girls get on. And pleased. And you can teach a 13 week old to put her legs down when your changing a diaper. You can also tickle her and get smiles from her. But she will pee on the change table if you giver her a chance. Your not interested in that, do I hear you say? Oh, sorry. I wont say it again.
Enough for now.
