Thank you for sharing this point:

Isaiah 28: 10-16 (KJV):
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
11 for with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
13 But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward,
and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
George I read verses 15 and 16 and I think about the foundational doctrine of Christianity. All christians believe that because they believe in Jesus Christ that they will not die spiritually nor will they be judged. They've made a covenant with death and the wrath of God won't touch them, so they are taught. It's a lie that they have made their refuge.

Perhaps, it is much bigger than that - in that, all 'falsehood', 'lies' and 'deception' will be crushed underfoot by 'a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation' - which is 'God manifested in the flesh', 'The Word of God' and 'The Sword of The Holy Spirit'?
On a side note, I find great comfort to my heart and mind, when I read from the Books of 'Proverbs', and 'the Psalms'; as there are many great 'gems of wisdom, hidden there'.
Warmest Regards.

Ahhh yes. Im sure you're correct, much bigger indeed George..
All the lies, deception and falsehood.. 'The Matrix' basically.
The world of lies we are born into eh?
Precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little there a little.. waking up from the matrix, for His chosen, little by little. (Or for the enemies of the cross the little by little they go deeper and deeper into sleep and deception. To those who have, more will be given. To those who have not, even what they have will be taken.) Kind of like the Israelites being given the promised land little by little instead of all at once.
Exodus 23:20 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.
I don't fully understand but this is just a thought.

You can look up the european Jewish population census before and after the war and the number of Jews missing is close to 6 million. Were all the scientist and census takers also lying back then?
lareli:
maybe the surviving Jews were not too enthusiastic about taking part in a census. You know.. considering the way the previous census had worked out for them under the Germans.. ?

Or maybe the many thousands of 1st person accounts are telling the truth:
Jewish Demographics In Warsaw

1764 - 1,365
1800 - 9,724
1900 - 219,128
1940 - 393,500
1945 - 7,800
