<<should we be trying to do the work of the Gospel all the faster and with all the more diligence as things, in the word of Alice, get curiouser and curiouser?>> Well, forgive me, Shalom, I do speak in riddles sometimes. May I please translate the above for you in English. It goes: I wonder if it matters what you think about my views of lthe rapture coming before the Lord returns as the wrathful Lamb, not the one silently led to slaughter. Does it matter really, or would it be a better idea for me to spend the time that it would take for us to discuss this matter if it is not even in the Lord's will that we discuss it anyway, and go out into the street and preach to all the people on their way to hell, and soon. Should we be doing these things all the more than we used to when there was really no desperation whatsoever in America actually, and it was a pretty nice place to live actually, and that was the time people were witnessing and street preaching and doing all the things I DON'T DO NOW. As things heat up, and it appears that the world is being repositioned now for N. Korea to make its move at the same time China may be using their good friend posture to swoop in on Taiwan at the same time--much the way prisoners get a fight going in one area to commit a murder in another--and then also march west to the oil fields as planned? While the madman Saddam finally sets the whole thing off in Iraq as he is so anxious to do. I do believe, Shalom, that things are getting worse and worse, even though I don't like to dwell on it, and it all may pass over. It reminds me of Alice in Wonderland, when she said, "Things are getting curiouser and curiouser." I'm having fun now. But do you realize how tired I would be and how tired you would be of reading if I didn't condence my much talk into riddles? Yes, I very much want to discuss Rev. 7,and hopefully Jack you and Shalom and the Ask God brothers can all go over it too and see what we all believe it means. What is necessary is a very slow, very sure journey through it, though.
