For All the Saints

I heard someone say recently, "God's going to take his church out of this world before the tribulation comes..." Oh, really?

"As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?” Matthew 24:3

"Then they will deliver you up to triblulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake." Mattew 24:9

"Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. " Matthew 24:34

Revolution in Iran...

(An Iranian supporter of reformer Mir Hossein Mousavi is injured while demonstrating.)

"But what do we mean by the American Revolution? Do we mean the American war? The Revolution was effected before the war commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments, of their duties and obligations...This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people was the real American Revolution."

John Adams, letter to H. Niles, February 13, 1818

Would We Be Brave Enough?

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security."

David Goff-Color Stage 9

In these final stages, the rule of thumb is "details, details,...details!  I'm amazed at how smoothly the paint flows using the "fat" medium.  Another stage or two more of details, and I'll be finished.
