you noticed the progression in revelation and challenge in the
various writings of the New Testament? It is only recently that this
has become increasingly clear to me. In the Gospels, Jesus is as the
“Alpha”, the Beginning, where His disciples could not really
understand Him, because the Holy Spirit as the inward Teacher had not
yet come. But in the Book of “Revelation”, Jesus is now the
“Omega” - the fullness and the ultimate!</span></span></span></font></font></p>

to gain this final goal, the Holy Spirit through Luke leads us from
the Gospels - like Elementary School”, to “Junior High” in
“Acts”, where the historical background of the 21 epistles find
context. The 7 General Epistles written by inspiration of the Holy
Spirit by James, Peter, John and Jude - take us on to the equivalent
of “Senior High”. But Paul's first 9 epistles, Romans through
Thessalonians, are like University. Peter himself said that Paul
wrote some things “hard to understand”, which the unstable </span></span></span><u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">wrest</span></span></u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">

is like moving from a College to a Master's degree. Some excellent
commentaries have been written on this letter. God's Bible Numerics
establishes Paul as the author under the Holy Spirit for this
challenge to Jewish believers, paralleling, but taking us on from
James through Jude. As Romans laid the basic ground for salvation and
“Righteousness by Faith” to Gentiles, Hebrews does a similar work
for Jews.</font></font></p>

threatenings had no effect on Peter and John, but rather emboldened
Peter to continue his defense, having also “nailed” the Jewish
rulers as some of those responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus.</font></font></p>

- Corporate and united prayer was a key to the success of early
church believers. See how they reasoned from Scripture in presenting
their case before God. They were in good company with Moses, Joshua
and David in this. Bible Meditation as the basis of prayer, both
individually and corporately - leads to unusual results. Rees Howells
and George Muller both tapped into this secret with similar success.
Joshua 1:8, Psalm 1 and Psalm 19:14 encourage us to do likewise.</font></font></p>
