Kind Angels...

Hello all.

I was reading about one of my "kin" the other day and found this on his tombstone in 1868.  "kind Angels Watch his sleeping   Till Jesus comes to raise the Just   Then may he wake and in His Saviours image rise"

I know it is not 100% correct, but I was amazed that even back then there were people who knew we didn't immediately go to heaven!!

I think a lot of this babylonian junk has come in the 20th century!

Dave in Tenn:
I suspect it's as hard to put a fully realized doctrine on a tombstone as it is on a bumper-sticker, but that is very interesting.  There was heresy even in Paul's time, and as Ray points out it took hold immediately after the deaths of the Apostles, but I think this modern era has accelerated both the evolution of heresy and it's spread.

OBrenda:
That's pretty amazing, do you know what religion he/she practiced?

Craig:
I hope they put on mine...

"He's finally getting a good nights sleep" ;D

;D I had to put signs on my bedroom door for years to keep all the kids out during naptime....I have a stack of them! "Please Let Mom Sleep!" "Please DO NOT disturb" "Enter at Your own Risk!" "Don't even THINK ABOUT KNOCKING!"
Craig, you gave me an idea...maybe I can have one taped to my tombstone to save on the engraving! heehheeh! And they should not charge so much for the plots either! After all....we only need to "borrow" them--right?  ;D
