Phone Theft 9/7/24 Simults ...

Re: Phone Theft Simults
Early in the morning of
Saturday, Sept 7th,
my phone was stolen
in the dark, on 6th Street.
I awakened to see a
black man running away
onto Grand Street.
I opened my Bible twice,
and the second reading
was in Ecclesiastes,
about the wicked.
I then read in the novel
The Grand Complication,
that the book was about
the Theft of a watch in 1823,
and a Librarian named
Alexander Short, who is
enlisted by a wealthy
Library patron, to help him
track down the watch, which
was owned by Marie Antoinette ...
I shared the Ecclesiastes
Simults with "Claude" at
Starbucks.
Claude was delighted
with the simults, highlighting
the omniscience of God.
I tried to show "Claude" the
additional Simults in
The Grand Complication,
but he wasn't interested,
because it was just a book...
Later that day, I read that
the protagonist in the book,
Alexander,
was accidentally called
"Claude" by the wealthy
collector...
Farther on, the protagonist
learns that the Wealthy man
is secretly writing a historical
novel, using the Librarian's life
as material, and he calls
his character "Claude Page".
As in Oliver Twist, mentioned in
the book, a kindly benefactor
restored my loss ...
For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
And he spake to them a parable;
Behold the fig tree,
and all the trees;
30
When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
31
So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
Luke 22 kjv
The Theft took place
at the Fig tree on 6th...
