Let me ask one simple question: How many local church meetings did you go to where the focus was not Jesus Christ, but rather the church, the ministry, or some latest "move of the Lord"? The revelation we were receiving was not of Jesus Christ, but rather of some supposed "speaking" or "move" of Jesus Christ, which supposedly arriving through God's oracle, said speaking directing "the Body of Christ" to "build up the New Jerusalem" and "consummate the age" and so forth.

In all of this frantic activity Jesus recedes until He is frozen in the background like one of those carved images in the Roman Catholic cathedrals.
