Hudson Taylor,
Hudson Taylor,
Hudson Taylor,
Hut Hut Hut!
This is a little song by my youngest son. He'd joyfully sing it
(while hopping back and forth) when we were studying the
Christian bible teacher Hudson Taylor. It was so many years ago
he doesn't remember it now, but I hold it dear in my heart.
Hudson Taylor went to China in the 1800's. He adopted the culture and
attire of his new home, which was unusual for a foreigner at that time.
He was a man who believed in prayer. The book we read about his
life followed a simple path: need, prayer, answers.
A few days ago I came across this. I'd never heard it before.
In 1889 Hudson Taylor had a prophecy about Russia.
I thought I'd share it here:
“I saw in this vision a great war that encompasses the world. I saw this war recess and then start again, actually being two wars. After this I saw much unrest and revolts that will affect many nations. I saw in some places spiritual awakenings. In Russia I saw there will come a general all-encompassing, national spiritual awakening, so great that there could never be another like it. From Russia, I saw the awakening spread to many European countries. Then I saw an all-out awakening, followed by the second coming of Christ.”
Wow.
I wonder when.
