“And He Saw the Finger of the Lord”

George Reynolds, Janne M. Sjodahl

The prayer of Moriancumer was heard and answered immediately. The Prophet Isaiah, referring to the Millennium and speaking about prayer, says as the word of the Lord: "And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear" (Isaiah 65:24). God is always ready to help His children, and there is no red tape in the administration of the affairs of His Kingdom.

THE FINGER OF GOD

While the stones were being made luminous by the touch of the Almighty, or were being prepared to become lightbearers, Moriancumer obtained a glimpse of the finger of the Lord. What he saw overwhelmed him. He was struck with fear, and he fell to the earth.
