Hebrews 10:38. We are also told in Hebrews 10:31 that "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” We need to be unwavering in our faith as we walk with God lest the same fate befall us as did the Israelites. Randall Jones Jesus tells us 3:9-10-"...Yoi tempted me, proved (chal lenged) me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, they do alway err in their heart (sin); and they have not known my ways.” So, God refused to let them enter into the Promised Land.

His father, Dr. English E. Jones, is Chancellor Emeritus of that University. But, all things considered, I cannot help but feel that God’s patience is running out. This is a wicked and perverse gener ation in which we live. God tells us that we will know the end is near by watching the fig tree (Israel). Israel is very much in the news. The fig tree is sprouting every day. I expect any day now to be translated just like Enoch.
