God in his mercy has graciously separated us from the corrupt religious institution in our specific case. After the rapture the pharisees of the institution, I am sure, will still be going to church every Sunday. They have no clue as to the time we are living in.
Our civil and criminal legal cases are in a long pause right now. We did sense this was the course God wanted us to follow. I have no expectation of the outcome and Trust God to do whatever his will is.
One outcome already achieved was the warning to the pharisees, through the summons and court hearings they have been subjected to, the dangerous path they are on due to their decisions. The Ezekiel 33 watchman requirement has been satisfied.
UNDERSTANDABLE.
I can imagine bringing in civil authorities. I’d work hard to avoid it and err on the side of following the spirit and letter of the Scripture about avoiding such.
However, I sit here on a remaining acre out of 175 acres . . . much of which was crookedly bought in difficult family times at a deliberately lower appraised value—$12,000/acre below market value because of powerful pressures on the appraisers—one of whom was my step-dad’s childhood classmate. That really hurt him.
