DEVOURING FIRE

Out of the encyclopaedia of 73 Books of the Roman Catholics and 66 Books 

of the Protestants called the "BIBLE",

2

endless number of quotations can be 

culled to fill a book larger than this publication to illustrate man's various 

imperfect descriptions of God. The above examples will suffice, I hope. 

In the realm of the spirit, no nation has had as much opportunities as the 

children of Israel. And despite repeated warnings to the effect that: 'THY 

GOD IS A JEALOUS GOD, HE SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GOD BEFORE HIM, 

NOT EVEN OF THE LIKENESS OF THE THINGS ON EARTH, OR IN THE 

HEAVENS ABOVE, OR IN THE WATERS BENEATH THE SEA . . .' (Exodus 20:3-

5), they took the golden calf for worship, and again and again reverted into 

idolatry. Nor is the bulk of Christendom any freer from this taint. Visit St. 

Paul's Cathedral in London, or St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome and
you will 

have very little to distinguish them from the Temple of Somnath in India. It 

is a question of Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee.

You do not really have to 

go to England or Italy to verify my statement. Why not an inspection in loco 

to an Anglican or a Roman Catholic Cathedral in your own home town? 

(Exodus 24:17)

"And the sight of the glory of the Lord was like devouring 

fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of 

Israel."

RESTED AND REFRESHED

(Exodus 31:17)

". . . in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the 

seventh day he rested AND WAS REFRESHED."
