Joshua C. Pack on Friday was all giddy about Dale Schurter setting up the worlds most important agricultural program ever to exist. Joshua said that they would soon be buying land to start this mind-boggling program.
Apparently Joshua thinks his god is coming back to a cornfield or greenbean patch in Wadsworth or the new garden of Eden he is building on his cult compound.
However, Joshua fails to mention that the God of the Bible he claims to know sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much about is not coming back to some cornfield in the middle of Ohio, but to a city.
A teeming city filled with multitudes of people, living in a close environment, going to work, to school, having parties, going to restaurants and doing the normal things people in cities do. That God is also so pleased with the City that he chooses to live there too.
All that tithe money Joshua Pack is wasting on his okra farm is for naught. That elderly woman's tithe money could have been used for a warm dinner or paid her rent for another month.
10 And
he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and
shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven
from God,
11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 And
had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates
twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the
twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
16 And
the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth:
and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The
length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits [about 250feet], according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
19 And
the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner
of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second,
sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
20 The
fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the
eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the
eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
21 And
the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one
pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent
glass.
22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
23 And
the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it:
for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
24 And
the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and
the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
