There is an account of 5 golden mice ....
but I’ve never seen any verses about ‘the Big Cheese’:
1 Sam 6:1-5 And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his place.
3 And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.
4 Then said they, What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines: for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.
5 Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
The reason I mentioned about ‘the Big Cheese’ .... is because that is what the IL ‘teaching elder’ called the Lord .... during this past Sunday Evening Story-Time on August 22, 2010. He said, "We’re going to go meet the Lord .... He’s the Big Cheese!" His comment was extremely disrespectful to our Saviour.
The IL ‘teaching elder’ also talked about "the bums at the rescue mission". Evidently, the Cunning Royal Jester doesn’t like to be called names .... but he sure doesn’t mind himself calling other people names! Would that be a hypocrite?
Mark 7:6-7 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
This is David Dowell, saying, "Think about it!"
