And Jesus said, "Whosoever believes in me shall never die." |
Abraham Zumbado was a Bible believing righteous man. He had made a fortune with alternative power government programs. His life's goal was to end oil dependency. To that end he chose a simple life in a rural community. He had no electricity and no plumbing. His food was preserved in saw dust. He owned a burro, which pulled his tiny cart of wood carvings. That he sold along the highway. His was a higher calling. Abraham would spend many days reading his Bible, sitting beside his wood carvings along the highway. "And the Lord said take me a cow of three years, and a she goat of three years, and a ram of three years, a turtle also, and a pigeon." Genesis 6. Abraham thought long and hard about this sacrifice. What was the significance of the turtle? Beeep! Loud music blared from a car that had stopped at his display of wood carvings. They were a mix of young idolators. Abraham put down his Bible and presented his carving of a turtle. A young infidel, smoking marijuana, took it and handed him $5. Could this have been a prophecy? To be continued... + The Legacy+ Abraham sat back on his beach chair. The car loaded of pot smoking youths had spead away in their gas guzzling van. He opened his Bible and randomly picked passages: "Thus saith the Lord; Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys." (1Kings 15:3) "Vex the Midianites and smite them." (Numbers 25:17) "But, the cities of these people, the Lord thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breathes. But thou shalt utterly destroy them as the Lord thy God has commanded thee." (Duet 32:39) "Abe!" a neighbor called out from their pickup. Abraham waved back at the unclean lesbians. "Say. We're having a cook out tomorrow. All the neighbors are bringing something. Would you like to come?" Sally the defiler asked. "Sure, I'll bring some steaks . . Their only $4.99bl at Market Basket." Abraham waved at Sally and her, lesbian abomination.. Sally purchased a ram carving. She liked the curved horns and striations. Abraham put another $5 into his cash box. Now, it should be said that although Abraham Zumbado was a Bible believing man; he believed in the evolving word of God. Abe was a Pentacostal. He saw no good in waging religious wars or persecuting people of other beliefs. God as the creator of all things gives them his Divine blessing: "Our Lord is great, all powerful, of infinite understanding." Psalm 147:5. In this transcendental moment Abe was held up. A vagrant and a vagabond stood about him with Swiss army knives... They were Filipino. The woman demanded Abraham's cash box. "$10? Is that it?" she chattered in broken English. Her male companion searched Abe's pockets and can up with a harmonica. He threw it on the ground and stomped on it. "Hey you!" the woman took Abe's attention off his shattered harmonica and stuffed the $10 in his shirt pocket. "Go buy a new one." she said with a wicked laugh and hopped on the back of her boyfriend's Kawasaki Ninja 650r. They spead away in a cloud of dust across the Utah plains. It was time to close up shop and buy some steaks for the big cook out... (?) |
