A Moment from My Ministry

While sitting with a precious soul, a dying 88 year-old soldier at the Hazard KY Veteran Center and playing on my banjo and singing, the Lord spoke to me: 'When you sing and play for this dying man, you sing and play for me.'

In as much as ye have done it on the least of these my Brethren, 
ye have done it onto me. Matt. 25:40 

...

The Message: 

Ezra 7:6 

"This Ezra went up from Babylon; and he [was] a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the Lord God of Israel had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the Lord his God upon him." 

The Scribes: Careers of Writing Scripture -

~~ 5 Facts About the Scribes~~

Wrote from left to right, no capitals or paragraphs, they verbalized evey word. 

Only used "clean animal" skins called Vellum or Papyrus and the manuscript was bound with "clean animal" skin. 

Every column could have no less than 48, no more than 60 lines, written with special black ink and as he wrote, each and every word was verbalized. 

When they came to the Hebrew name for God, the name Jehovah, they were to wipe the pen clean and bathe thier entire body, every time they came to it. 

The completed Scripture was then reviewed within 30 days and if as many as 3 pages were found with error needing correction, the entire manuscript was destroyed.
