Numbers 9:6:
Now there were certain men who were defiled by a human corpse, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day; NKJV
One afternoon whilst walking up from Brighton Beach I found an old Cadaver washed up at my feet. Not a corpse mind you, not an abandoned dead body poked and pecked at by the silk white seagulls but a well laid out old Cadaver. It’s yellowed, Glutaraldehyde stained, sandstone skin, bore the marks of its long preservation and through the barred gates of this old church building the sign read “St Andrews is no longer ...

When God made me, I was born with what my father often referred to as, ‘Ducks Disease’. In other words, my backside was very close to the ground or, to put it another way, I’m not very tall!

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marvelled.

Nahum 1:14:
The Lord has given a command concerning you: "Your name shall be perpetuated no longer. Out of the house of your gods I will cut off the carved image and the molded image. I will dig your grave, For you are vile." NKJV
The prophet Jonah had previously been mightily, if not reluctantly, used by God to preach repentance and grace to that great city of Ninevah. The Ninevite’s response to Jonah’s reluctant proclamations then had been to repent and to accept God’s goodness and thus, God’s falling feet of judgement pounding their way toward them, had then happily been turned away.
