    Gen.31.11-12 "Here am I"

    And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I."

    When God 'tempted' Abraham 'and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am".(22.1) we have the Fellowship of God with man as set forth in the everlasting Covenant. He is called in his Son. There is none other. He called Samuel similarly and it was for His service. He called Jacob to empower him, "For I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee." We have the words of Elihu as well, " In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;/Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,"(Job.33.15-16) He opens the ears of faith, so when he wakes up he is not walking by sight but by faith. This is how God melds a nation of righteous me, children of the inheritance in light. Where there is no vision people perish. How can faithless and perverse generation whose catechism was administered by false shepherds, and the heresies and activism have reached the ears of the Lord of Sabbaoth. They are neither loyal to the country nor to God.

    The Spirit narrated this visionof Jacob in the house of Laban, in particular so we shall understand the significance of the garden of Eden and of Adam and Eve. Similarly how Jacob did with 'the rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree' owe to the trees of righteousness written in the Covenant. The third day instructs it and it is in accordance with the dictum,'by him all things consist'. By the way the blind man in the Mark gospel looked up and saw men walking as trees. What are these 'angels'? Are they not trees of righteousness?"

    "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;/Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. (Rom.1.18-19) You and I included. If your faith is only in name, you alone are to blame.
