Monday, May 03, 2004 Welcome Back - Forgetful Janice!Janice, great to have you back on board - we've missed you! Forgetting your username reminds me of a lovely (but very vague) lady physicist I worked with in Grenoble in France. She was incredibly smart, too, BTW. Anyway, one morning she was working away with us on our experiment and pulled her hanky out of her pocket, to discover it had a big knot tied in it. She looked puzzled, and remarked to us (who were desperately trying not to roll around laughing) that "oh yes, this is to remind me not to forget something, but what was it..."Kid you not, she hadn't a clue! How is BSF going? Any inspiration this week? I was intrigued by the prophesy in Zechariah 6 which today we would see clearly (I think) as a prophecy of Jesus building his church: It was spoken to the high priest, Joshua son of Jehozadak: "Tell him this is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Here is the man whose name is the Branch, and he will branch out from his place and build the temple of the LORD. It is he who will build the temple of the LORD, and he will be clothed with majesty and will sit and rule on his throne. And he will be a priest on his throne. And there will be harmony between the two." But back then, with the people looking at the foundations of the new temple in Jerusalem, and a pile of stones waiting to be put together to rebuild the physical temple, I can imagine them looking over their shoulders and wondering who was this "anointed man" who would come and put it all back together for them. I can't imagine any one of them, even in their wildest dreams, seeing this in anyway as a reference to Christ, the Messiah, building his church on earth. And yet, it's as obvious to us as the noses on our faces! The folly of trying to make too much of prophecy, before the right time to understand it! # posted by geoff @ 4:45 pm 0 comments
