Acts19,32 The assembly was in confusion: Some were shouting one thing, some another. Most of the people did not even know why they were there. > wow - i don't know: they just came together for what ever reason - engry -WHAT WOULD THE WORLD BE LIKE, IF WE JUST WOULD NOT BE SO ENGRY?
33 The Jews pushed Alexander to the front, and some of the crowd shouted instructions to him. He motioned for silence in order to make a defence before the people. > crazy moments - shouting screaming, ...
34 But when they realised he was a Jew, they all shouted in unison for about two hours: Great is Artemis of the Ephesians! > TWO HOURS SHOUTING ... i can not imagine -
35 The city clerk quietened the crowd and said: Men of Ephesus, doesn't all the world know that the city of Ephesus is the guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image, which fell from heaven? > This is the alternative of believe. Something is falling from heaven. <> The alternative of believe: Jesus risen from the death for us!
36 Therefore, since these facts are undeniable, you ought to be quiet and not do anything rash. > this facts ...
37 You have brought these men here, though they have neither robbed temples nor blasphemed our goddess. > Wow - what is coming now?
38 If, then, Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a grievance against anybody, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. They can press charges. > OK - Guys get back in order!!!
39 If there is anything further you want to bring up, it must be settled in a legal assembly. > Understand!
40 As it is, we are in danger of being charged with rioting because of today's events. In that case we would not be able to account for this commotion, since there is no reason for it. > THIS IS WHAT PILAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO!
41 After he had said this, he dismissed the assembly. > It is over now! Go home.
The world is angry - not joyful - empty - fearful -
Am i different? Am i in peace? am i joyful? do i feel fulfilled? Am i courageous?
