BUT WHAT ABOUT ISRAEL?  IT’S NOT JUST A COINCIDENCE THAT THE NATION WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1948, IS IT?

There are no coincidences.  We allowed that.  Even so, it became a “straw dog” and now serves to separate those who use their intellect, at times, to interpret the introductory remarks from those who rely on my spirit to discern each facet of truth from those remarks.⁷⁶  It has worked remarkably well in that regard.  The same holds true for a remnant of the old temple wall which we allow to remain standing to this day – the “wailing wall.”  Just another dog with the same spots.  Not a problem for the discerning but a definite stumbling stone to the intellectual elite.

WAIT A MINUTE – I JUST REMEMBERED SOMETHING. MY COUSIN’S A MINISTER, AND HE SAYS MOST SCHOLARS BELIEVE THAT JOHN’S VISION, THE BOOK OF REVELATION, WAS WRITTEN ABOUT A.D. 95.  HOW COULD JOHN BE WARNING THE REMNANT ABOUT A FALL OF JERUSALEM WHICH HAPPENED 25 YEARS BEFORE?

A late date for the last book from the introductory remarks – how can I put it?  No disrespect to your relative, a fine man, but the scholars are grasping at straws.  No, late-dating those closing remarks – another pup from the same litter, like national Israel and the wailing wall.  Any formula for understanding our introductory remarks which relegates my spirit to the orchestra pit is flawed.  It’s their own creation – Exegesis 101 straw-grasping, yet they’re quite proud of it.  Apart from allowing it to develop, we had no part in it.  When compared to spirit-taught truth, all natural learning or systematic theology, if you will, shrinks to insignificance.
