"And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;" (Ecclesiastes 12:4 KJV)
"But tell me this - since we preach that Christ rose from the dead, why are some of you saying there is no resurrection of the dead? For is there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your faith is useless. And we apostles would all be lying about God - for we have said that God raised Christ from the grave. But that can't be true if there is no resurrection of the dead. And if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless and you are still guilty of your sins. In that case, all who have died believing in Christ are lost! And if our hope in Christ is only for this life, we are more to be pitied than anyone in the world. But in fact, Christ has been raised from the dead. He is the first of a great harvest of all who have died. So you see, just as death came into the world through a man, now the resurrection from the dead has begun through another man. Just as everyone dies because we all belong to Adam, everyone who belongs to Christ will be given new life." (1 Corinthians 15:12-22 NLT)
Yes, I know, I am just a foolish and stupid man that things he knows things because they might make some sort of sense. But I don't care what people think, because I love finding buried treasure! By the way, I have shared that, "Treasure Thing", from Job 38:22-23, with all sorts of people, even Pastors; yet many just shake their heads, saying that it doesn't make any sense.
I beg to differ! If God said that there is a treasure in the snow and hail, but that no one will find it until the day of battle and wars, then there is something to be said about when that treasure was discovered, as well as when the world could actually begin engaging one another in battle! When did that happen? 1914 was when World War One started; 40 million casualties. When did the treasure get discovered? Wilson Bentley discovered it in 1885; and it was published in National Geographic in 1904, as a Treasure!
To be perfectly honest, I just believe that God's word is alive and can speak to us in so many ways, most of which is hard to relate to one another, because we are all so entirely different; much like all of those snowflakes: No two are alike...
""Have you visited the storehouse of the snow or seen the storehouse of the hail? (I have reserved them as weapons for the time of trouble, for the day of battle and war.)"" (Job 38:22-23 NLT)
