- “So great a cloud of witnesses!” - This word came to Rees
Howells by his pastor in a very crowded evening congregation just
before as a young man he was leaving Wales to go to America to make
much money. It was a phrase that he hadn't remembered hearing before.
But the pastor said it as if he knew Rees was listening in the
crowded foyer - “Young man, you may be leaving home where relatives
and friends will not know what you are doing, </span></span></font><u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="">But</span></font></u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">

cloud of witnesses</span></font></u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
will be on your side, and aware of what you do.” This had a marked
effect on Rees, and kept him </span></span></font><u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="">true</span></font></u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
to his convictions and faith all the time he was in America. Every
time he was tempted to leave his former life-style, he remembered
“the cloud of witnesses”. </span></span></font></font>

day, and is referring to examples he mentioned in the previous
chapter. I believe it is important that we strive to be true to the
context. By outlining sentence by sentence the entire NT according to
Panin's Bible Numerics, and summarizing these into paragraphs and
sections, we learn the importance of “context” according to God's
thinking. In humanity we will all miss this general rule at times -
but nonetheless, it is good to keep it in mind and strive to be
accurate.</span></span></font></font></p>

is a strong exhortation for all of us to understand the mercy of God
in chastening us for our good. Even Jesus as the Son of Man underwent
this. How much more will </span></span></font><u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="">we</span></font></u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">

God strongly quickened this description to E. Stanley Jones, plus
Hebrews 13:8, referring to Jesus as “the Unchanging Person.” Dr.
Jones put the 2 descriptions together and wrote a book entitled “The
Unshakable Kingdom and the Unchanging Person.” It has recently been
reprinted. By all means find it on the “Net” and make it yours.
Bob Mumford felt it was one of the most important books he had ever
come across. I agree. It will change, or at least </span></span></font><u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="">affect</span></font></u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">

heavens. My first mentor in 1944 sent to me by God, was Sister Mary
Bertha Allquist. Verse 23 was one her favorite Bible verses. She as a
converted Jew had literally memorized the entire Bible, much of it in
Hebrew. I saw 4 of her former Bibles, so literally worn out that the
pages and binding were loose, and her fingers turning pages had
literally worn the page back to the print. It was Sister Mary Bertha
who opened the mysteries of the Urim and Thummim to me, and the deep
significance of the Feasts of the Lord as recorded in Leviticus 23.
