    Acts 19.11.20 "Vagabond Jews" (1 of 2)

    The Spirit inserted this episode to justify the ministry of Paul. The Holy Spirit separated him for the gospel but historically he was not received as an apostle by the church of Corinth.(1 Cor.9.1-2). Jesus however validates him, He informs Ananaias," But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:/For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake."( Acts 9,15-16). Great things he must suffer is used in the sense of great tribulation, as determined by the Law of the Spirit. So we have the Spirit, setting him apart'for the work whereunto I have called them.'(13.2)

    "So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them" (19.11). The miracles are 'special' eterand it is how the Spirit points out the ministry of Paul under the everlasting gospel. Compare it with what miracles attributed to St Peter and other apostles, " Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them/ There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one."(5.15-16)

    God establishes a Covenant under seven days where every blessing in heaven and earth are sanctified by the Man who was the Word which was God. He is the fulfillment of the Law, which is of the Spirit. , Names like Seth,Enoch Noah Abraham et all are designated as heirs of promise. They were placed under the Law of the Spirit. so Enoch shall walk with God and Abraham shall set out not knowing whither he went. Fath marked their DNA. On the other hand Cain was sent out from the presence of God. What is he called? "and a vagabond shalt thou be."

    A correction: Second para second verse,"The miracles are 'special' eterand it is how the Spirit points out the ministry of Paul under the everlasting gospel"

    please read as

    "The miracles are 'special' and it is how the Spirit points out the ministry of Paul under the everlasting gospel"
