Moses took the Tent and set it up outside the camp,
some distance away. He called it the Tent of Meeting.
Anyone who sought GOD would go to the Tent of Meeting
outside the camp.
It went like this:
When Moses would go to the Tent, all the people would
stand at attention; each man would take his position at
the entrance to his tent with his eyes on Moses until he
entered the Tent; whenever Moses entered the Tent,
the Pillar of Cloud (God’s presence) descended to the
entrance to the Tent and GOD spoke with Moses.
All the people would see the Pillar of Cloud at the
entrance to the Tent,
stand at attention, and then bow down in worship,
each man at the entrance to his tent.
And GOD spoke with Moses face-to-face,
as neighbors speak to one another. …
Exodus 33:7-11 MSG
What is covid evangelism?
Every week I take Jill to two to three medical procedures.
I also have medical appointments.
Being home is not an option at this time because I’m a
distance from home. I can’t wait for Jill in the clinic
because that’s the new rules of that clinic.
So I go out and wearing my mask.
So is a face mask a tent of meeting?
Was Moses social distancing by going outside the camp?
The text says Moses was going a distance away.
Also he was getting in a tent (face mask) and talking
to God and God was talking to Him.
Then the people followed Moses to this tent (face mask)
that was at a distance.
They wanted to hear what God said to Moses in the tent (Face mask)
I’ve had various Doctors tell me that I don’t have to wear
a face mask. Why?
First! Because I’ve had covid and I’m not spreading it
Second! I get light headed and I have a problem of
fainting and falling. Falling leads to additional injuries
Third! Doctors deal in science and statistics.
They tell me I probably won’t get covid again.
They tell me I am not transmitting covid.
They tell me I have anti-bodies
But in our social panic we have rules.
You can’t hang out in the clinic because people are in
a pandemic panic
You can’t go into a store without a mask even though
my doctors tell me I don’t need a mask.
It’s hot so running the car and ac causes global warming
which is a completely different hazard to health.
Then to top it off I have a problem with fainting and falling.
So I hang out in the mall and sit in a wheelchair and do
covid evangelism.
I’m communicating through a tent of meeting (face mask)
I’ve discovered also that people are more open to talking
to me in a wheelchair instead of me standing.
I ask questions to initiate communication.
First question.
I’m disappointed with covid?
Are they disappointed with covid?
Or, I had Covid. Now I’m cured.
But it didn’t get me where I wanted to go?
If they respond I talk about Jesus, covid and the panic
and spending our future with Jesus.
There are people that don’t want to talk.
I did have a guy who accused me in anger of being a
racist. Our conversation didn’t go smoothly.
He went and got a store manger. The complaint was
I was spreading covid and I was a racist.
Anyway the wheelchair keeps me from falling and opens
doors for communicating through a tent of meeting mask
I can’t spread covid now, according to my medical advisors
But being a non-progressive society may cause our next
laws to be no communicating to others.
That happened in the 1st century. Talking about Jesus
caused mob violence. The authorities ordered Jesus
talkers to stop spreading the Jesus message.
They basically claimed Jesus was a virus.
I present Jesus as a cure to the strain of the panic of covid
and race issues.
So is covid evangelism a non starter and am I a public
nuisance? I am meeting a lot of new people.
