This week on the Word of the Lord Endors Forever, we dig further in Genesis, the book of beginnings,

with birth of Ishmael from Abram to Abraham, circumcision, Isaac's birth foretold, and the obedience of faith.

Join me, Pastor Will Whedon, for the Word of the Lord Endors Forever, your daily 15-minute verse-by-verse Bible study on demand.

Wake awake, for night is flying.

The watchman on the heights are crying awake jerusalem arise midnight is the welcome voices, and at the thrilling cry rejoices, where are the virgins pure and wise?

The bright room comes awake, your laps with gladness take Hallelujah

With bright old care

And faithful prayer

To meet the bright room

Come prepare

The hymn, come, prepare.

The hymn, O wake, awake for night is flying. It's based upon the gospel reading for this coming Sunday,

according to the one-year lectionary,

the 25th chapter of Matthew, the parable of the ten versions.

Five are wise, five are foolish, but their

foolishness is much deeper than mere human foolishness. Greetings and welcome to issues, et cetera,

live on this Monday afternoon, November the 18th. I'm Todd Wilkin. Thanks for tuning us in. We'll be

looking forward to Sunday morning to that parable of the 10 virgins with Pastor Will Whedon, then in the second hour. It's Mark 13, the coming of the son of man and the lesson of the fig tree, celebrating the last Sunday of the church here with Pastor Sean Denzer.
