I've always been in awe of the early saints before us. In my mind, they didn't have access to the scriptures as of today. They looked forward to a messiah but I don't know if they had much more than that. We look forward to the return but we have "stories" that we can read & process. Adventures such as being on a boat, a wedding feast, multitudes of people gathering , people with diseases or even dead..stories that testify that the messiah was a living, breathing human being. The early saints just knew a messiah was in the future. Did they know he would turn water into wine? I don't know. But I feel blessed to have faith like they did but with the added "stories". I commend them in what I think of as 'raw' faith.

 Bible said Abraham was called by god and Abraham answered the call and was chosen just like any Christian is. I agree with you totally. You covered it all. Nothing more that I can think to add.

 Everyone in the first resurrection is a Christian, is in the church; Abraham and David are both in the first resurrection.

 Very creative. Amusing analogy that is spot on. 

 Interesting read, especially the clarification of numbers pertaining to whether it is a statement, illustration, or prophecy. I think today, too many people are wrapped up in numbers, or trying to decode a verse using some kind of weird man-made formula. As stated,, it takes the Holy Spirit to understand the meaning of a verse. Only Yahweh can enlighten us to the use or meaning of a number.

 God is creating love like He is love.

 Nice article sir!
