Those who stand wondering at this strange work, not knowing what to make of it, and refusing to receive it- and ready ... to speak contemptibly of it, as was the case of the Jews of old- would do well to ... tremble at St. Paul's word ... "Beware therefore lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets, Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish; for I work a work in your days, which you shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you." ... Let all to whom this work is a cloud and darkness - as the pillar of cloud and fire was to the Egyptians - take heed that it be not their destruction, while it gives light to God's Israel.
John White, When The Spirit Comes With Power, p. 240
