Acts 8:32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth. 33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
One thing, and one thing alone absorbs the interest of Philip, and because he is so dead-focused on the mission, he goes to work under the auspices of The Holy Spirit, with a surgical accuracy that is worthy of emulation. The Ethiopian eunuch was reading of current events pertaining directly to salvation, because Christ had recently been crucified, and thus, he was most likely seeking a better understanding of what had taken place in Jerusalem.
The Ethiopian eunuch was reading of current events pertaining directly to salvation, because Christ had recently been crucified, and thus, he was most likely seeking a better understanding of what had taken place in Jerusalem. The place in question was abuzz, with the news of Christ’s recent death and His resurrection, and these current events probably are what drove the eunuch to revisit certain passages of scripture.
Under the latter-rain, the remnant people of God in our day should be able to begin with the current events, and lead persons to Christ, just as Philip did. And the “Current events” will at that time, include the newly minted mark of the beast, and decisions to be made either for or against the laws of God. In other words, speaking of things which might be irrelevant in our day may not tow the line effectively so as to cause persons to ask that most important question: “What must I do to be saved?”
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
