I'm reading
G.H, Pember's Earth's Earliest Ages again.
It's a hoot.
Pember is following the Millerites' Great Disappointment. But didn't learn anything from it.
No. Pember made the same mistake as Miller (and James Ussher too).
And Lee followed in the same mistake they made.
That mistake is turning the Bible into jigsaw puzzle pieces, and arranging them into pictures and ways that, aren't really there; like God buried a secret code in the Bible, that only special ones can find, see, and read.
Miller produced The Great Disappointment. And Pember's predictions, based upon the rise of Theosophy, Buddhism, and Spiritualism, that he considered were coming from descending fallen angels (Nephilim - "as in the days of Noah"), has also disappointed.
And now Lee, and his movement, has become disappointing.
Albert Einstein said: "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
And yet this mistake, of thinking the Bible gives special messages from God, if the verses are reassembled, happens over and over again, with disappointment after disappointment.
When are we gonna see this method, of reassembling the Bible (into God's Eternal Purpose/Economy), for what it is: Insanity? and stop falling for it?
