On the morning of the third day there was thunder and lightning, with a thick cloud over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast. Everyone in the camp trembled.
Then Moses led the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain….
When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet and saw the mountain in smoke, they trembled with fear.

Ephesians 1:17-19
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him;
Having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints;
And what is the immeasurable greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the working of his great might.

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him;
Having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints;
And what is the immeasurable greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the working of his great might.
Ephesians 1:17-19
The Kingdom
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him;
Having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints;
And what is the immeasurable greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the working of his great might.
Ephesians 1:17-19
immeasurable greatness
And he said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it?
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown on the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth, yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.”
Mark 4:30-31
The Jesus revolution is not a frontal attack on the empires of this world. It is like a subtle virus or infection, spreading to one little life, one little hospitality house, at a time.
Isn’t it interesting that Saul of Tarsus went door to door trying to tear up the virus like it was a cancer? But the harder people tried to eradicate it, the faster it spread. And in the end, even Paul caught it. The mustard weed grabbed him.
