Bro. Bruce:
Just finished re-reading you posts on your study of the parallels of the Bible. I have been far busier than I should be at my age. I just turned 78 a few weeks ago. I just completed two weeks of meetings in Knoxville, TN and Charleston, WV. It will take me a couple weeks to get my energy level back up again. I enjoyed your post because this is what I refer to as "Mining the diamonds and nuggets of the Bible." It is this kind of evidence that confirms the validity and reliability of the Word.
Years ago I noticed the parallels and became interested in the hidden in plain sight lessons that God has placed there for our benefit. I have been studying the themes, types, symbols, now on nearly thirty years. Unfortunately, the church is asleep, dulled in slumber, or hypnotized by the dribble of what is being passed off as Bible teaching. Proverbs 25:2 was the key that opened my eyes in 1989.
God bless,
Pastor Bob
