The Moshiach * (the Jews awaited Messiah)has come as Isaiah predicted in Chapter 53. He comes again to rule and reign. But just as God only spelled out the exact nature of the first coming in intermittent stages through His prophets....He is doing the same beginning with St Paul and St John and then by the Holy Spirit again unpacking all these things for us. Moses declared the coming of a Deliverer....but en route, nobody saw that Jesus Christ was Himself going to be the Lamb sacrifice, and nobody saw that He was going to call forth a complete co-priesthood who were going to rule and reign on Earth BEFORE His return.
Penny Kanefield used this spelling...are there different spellings?
I was talking to Paul Anderson Walsh this week....nothing firm....just the basic concept of how it might work,then this You Tube appeared through Paul Noble on Facebook. Below is the original script of where the idea of what we would now call a "flash meeting", calling everyone up or texting by mobile or Facebook. Here it is....so nearly materialised!!!!
The original script to HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO CHRISTIANITY III featuring me and Harry, the mystic Road Digger. See the blog side links for the recorded versions of Part One and Two in the section entitled The Stages of Growth.
PART THREE: C. Flippin eck! You said a meeting. There must be 10,000 squashed in here. / H. Yeah. This is one of the only shopping malls in the country that's large and safe enough to hold such a gathering. / C. But where do they all come from? / H. From all over the country. We meet every three months or so. We use the old acid-house party technique of the early 90's where the venue is a secret until 24 hours before the event. / C. But there's so many! / H. Well we followed the multiplication principle of The Book of Acts. Jesus discipled 12, who discipled 120, who discipled 3,000, who went all over Judea doing the same. The problem in previous centuries was nobody knew what discipling was. Now we see it's just getting Jesus into folk so they become 'little Christs' who go off and do the same.... / C. I recognise them .... that's U2 isn't it? / H. Yeah... that's right. They pop over sometimes. Tonight's a bit of a celebration really because the last meeting we had, the Spirit was moving upon us in repentance. Most of us spent 5 hours flat on the floor crying. Well, we washed the floor anyway. / C. Are you responsible for all this? I thought you were just a road-digger. / H. It's true that at the beginning Christ was building this through me. Now though, the Spirit is doing more through about 15 others. The Spirit has got me on the initial stages of a foreign project at the moment. / C. You could get these people to support you. You don't need to dig roads. / H. I'm happy with my headphones on, digging away. I can meditate. The road-firm's paying me to meditate. END.
INCLUDES "40" (Psalm 40) by U2 from the live album "Under a Blood Red Sky" 1983 Island Records Ltd. Used by permission. Actually U2 Management Disallowed this and the recording of Part Three was destroyed .Irony: At the time U2 were disassociating themselves from UK Christianity and Greenbelt Festival which up until then they had taken part in. This track got caught in the cross fire.But the irony is this....if you attend any of their concerts you get caught up in the great heart of a God whose love is for people...so actually the message of Hitchhiker's here is closer to what they stand for than the rest of UK Christianity was at the time, all caught up in little denominational boxes.
