Stop to think for a moment about the 'poetic justice' of it all. You espouse 'authority and submission' and the Lord turns a whole country upside down to give you a first-hand dose of your own medicine!

This is an interesting way to look at things. All speculation aside, one of thing things that I find to be most ironic about Nee's life is that he really wasn't around to see the fruit of what he taught. Well maybe a little bit, but certainly not after being imprisoned.

Despite that, however, it seems that people like Lee were fully confident in what Nee taught and continued on full steam ahead.
