      Foreword

      ––––––––

      I treasure the friendship and ministry of Doctor Kenneth Bow as one of God’s most precious gifts to me.

      For Forty years God has used him to bless His Kingdom and feed His people with the finest of the wheat.

      Like Joshua the High Priest, he is among those men wondered at.

      (Zech 3:8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at:)

      Pastor Bow is revered by his generation, as a hero of the faith, a champion of truth, and preacher most beloved.

      Not only is he my favorite preacher, but my hero as well. His ministry is without equal and as a writer he has no peer.

      God has graced him with great understanding, wisdom, and anointing. Reading his books makes one feel as if they were reading the writings of the Apostle Paul. His Solomon-like wisdom shines through with amazing insight on every scripture.

      You will love everything this man writes. Read and be blessed!

      Martyn Ballestero

      Chapter 7

      ––––––––

      7.1 Then said the high priest, Are these things so?

      7.1 Stephen is Stephanos, a garland or crown, in the Greek language. Garlands or crowns were given by the ancient Greeks to those who rendered good services to their cities, or brought fame to them by winning triumphs. Stephen was to win in this chapter an imperishable garland, and to gain a crown of righteousness. The previous persecutions of the church had been raised by the Sadducees, but this time it was the Grecian Jews. The Libertines had been slaves, Jewish captives, taken in the various wars waged by the Romans. They had been dispersed among the Romans at Rome and elsewhere. There in their captivity they had learned the Greek language and become acquainted with Greek culture; and now, when they had recovered their freedom they returned to Jerusalem in such numbers that a synagogue of the Libertines was formed. These were the people who opposed Stephen. The High Priest here was probably Theophilus, son-in-law of Caiaphas. It is believed by some it was actually Saul of Tarsus, from the region of Cicily, who engineered the charges brought against Stephen.

      7.2-50 And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,

      3 And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee. 4 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell. 5 And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child. 6 And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years. 7 And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place. 8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs. 9 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him, 10 And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. 11 Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found
