*…"PARADOX" MEANS "SOMETHING THAT'S INCREDIBLE, BUT
TRUE."
PARADOX_ JEFF.IN V-15 N-8 SUNDAY_ 61-1210
83 May God add His blessings to His Word. Now,
I wish, if it be the will of the Lord, that you tarry with me for a few
minutes. I want to take a subject, strange, odd upon reading such a Scripture.
And I want your attention and--and prayer during this time. I want to take the
subject of one word: "Paradox."
And first I'd like to explain maybe what a paradox is. In
the Webster's dictionary, it says that a "paradox"
means "something that's incredible, but true." That is a
paradox. Something that's almost completely out of
reason, couldn't be so but yet it is, that's a paradox. And I want to
rest a few minutes on these words, a paradox.
Now, we have many things that we could refer to as paradox. One thing that I would like to refer to is, this world itself is a paradox. Its standing is a paradox.
*BUT THE BIBLE SAID
THAT THE SUN STOPPED, AND HELD ITS PLACE FOR A WHOLE DAY. I BELIEVE IT.
PARADOX_ JEFF.IN V-15 N-8 SUNDAY_ 61-1210
86 Last night I was talking to my daughter,
Rebekah, that's in high school. And I was studying here in the Scripture,
and--and was telling her about reading this--this verse here. And she said,
"Daddy, Joshua actually stopped the world, didn't he?"
I said, "I don't know what he stopped. He stopped
the sun."
She said, "He could not stop the sun, because the
sun doesn't travel."
I said, "The reflection of it travels across the
earth though, and he stopped that."
She said, "Well, then God stopped the world."
I said, "Then to the agnostic, what happens if the
world happens to stop and lose its gravitation? It would shoot through space
like a--a star, and missiles of it would be falling for a hundred billions of
years in space."
But the Bible said that the sun stopped, and held its place for a whole day. I believe it. I believe it. It's unreasonable and incredible, but it's the truth.
*HOW THAT IT'S ALL THE HEAVENLY SYSTEMS, HOW THEY ARE SO TIMED, SO
PERFECTLY …
PARADOX_ JEFF.IN V-15 N-8 SUNDAY_ 61-1210
91 Pray tell me then, which is the
top side of the world, the North Pole or the South Pole? How do you know, if
you're in space? You say, "The South Pole's down, under us." They
think the North Pole is down, under them. See?
It's standing in a space, in a little circle of air, as
it's turning some thousand-something miles per hour. 'Cause there's twenty-four
or twenty-five thousand miles around it, and it turns around in twenty-four
hours, so it make it going better than a thousand miles an hour, traveling
around. And it never misses, striking exactly. Where it's--where it's on the
equator where it goes around, it never misses a minute, perfectly timed,
standing in the air. If that isn't a paradox, I don't know what one is. How that it's all the heavenly systems, how they are so
timed, so perfectly; till that, in years that's to come, twenty and
thirty years from now, science can see the coming of the eclipse of the sun and
the moon, passing, and can tell you, to the moment, when they will pass, and
when the eclipse will start.
Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Heb 11:2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
Heb 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Heb 11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
Heb 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Heb 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
Heb 11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
Heb 11:9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
Heb 11:10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
Heb 11:11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
Heb 11:12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
Heb 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Heb 11:14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
Heb 11:15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
Heb 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
Heb 11:17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
Heb 11:18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
Heb 11:19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
