Spoke 18

Job, Matthew, I John

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Spoke 18, Cycle 2
(Matthew 28.18f)

The Gospel Goes Forth!

The Eighteenth Century is forever marked as that which witnessed the evangelical explosion of world wide missions. Just as all the European countries simultaneously began to publish Bibles in the common vernacular in the Sixteenth Century, so now the Spirit of Evangelism simultaneously gripped all Christendom. This spiritual phenomenon has filled books - but since I am but one man, all I can do is point to the highlights and fill in the details as I get more time. It was in the first year of the Eighteenth Century that the Society for the Propogation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts  a.k.a. the SPG, was founded in England. The SPG seal is an image of a sailing ship being blown by a strong westerly wind (the Spirit) directly to a people waiting and crying out "Transiens Adiuva Nos " which means "Come over and help us!" This seal is a supernaturally integrated with the content of Isaiah 18 which speaks of "sending ambassadors by the sea." The correlation with the Eighteenth Century greatly enlightens our understanding of that passage of Scripture which many commentators have had difficulty expounding.

There were many missionary movements that began in the Eighteenth Century. In 1714 the Danes established a missionary college in Copenhagen, and by 1740 the Moravians  had missions in ten countries. John Wesley  came to evangelize America as a member of the SPG and played an essential role in the Great Awakening. In 1792 William Carey  wrote his paper  entitled An Inquiry into the Obligations of Christians to use means for the Conversion of the Heathen and helped found the Baptist Missionary Society  and in 1793 he went to India as a missionary. The integration of this Eighteenth Century missionary zeal with the structure of the Bible is truly astounding. It corresponds with the simultaneous proclamation of the Gospel from Cell 40 of Spoke 18 of both the Bible Wheel and the Inner Wheel of Isaiah, as discussed in some detail in The Gospel Goes Forth!. And all of this is integrated with the fundamental Tsaddi KeyWord (Tsey!, Go Forth!). Note also that this integrates with the Great Commission given in Matthew on Spoke 18. Endless glory!
