It's an awesome subject for meditation, especially in this Christmas season. See you Thursday! :) David, this puts me in mind of Isaiah 9 – “…a son is given and the government will be on His shoulders…of the increase of His government …there will be no end…” It’s an awesome subject for meditation, especially in this Christmas season.

Merle, a music colleague of mine suggested: "Caesura--God is silent for 400 years at the end of OT history. In meter, caesura (alternative spellings are cæsura or cesura) is a term to denote an audible pause that breaks up a line of verse. In most cases, caesura is indicated by punctuation marks which cause a pause in speech: a comma, a semicolon, a full stop, a dash, etc. Punctuation, however, is not necessary for a caesura to occur." I really like this one; the only problem is that I'd never heard of it, and I suspect the majority of people in the pew haven't either. Maybe it is just "Comma." The OT "ends" with a comma. Some great suggestions here!
