Union Magazine Mark 13:15-16 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:… Opportunity is like a narrow passage in the Arctic Seas. Sometimes, in these northern regions, ships get enclosed in a narrow space between ice islands. The floating rocks glide nearer the ship on every side, and the dismayed seamen behold their only chance of escape from the fatal crash lies in a narrow channel, that every moment grows still narrower. How hurriedly they press their vessel through that strip to reach the safety of the open ocean! Even so must we press along the narrow way that leads to eternal Life; for who knows how soon that narrow way may be closed against him. (Union Magazine.) Parallel Verses KJV: And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:WEB: and let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house. |
