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.
Sweet memories, I know how that can be...Precious and sweet but a little sad too sometimes right?
ReplyDeleteWhen I read what Hudson Taylor wrote, I too said. Wow. Just wow...
Wow, just wow!
DeleteHi Sandi, very strange, I have just watched on the television a man speaking about a prophesy about Russia. He was saying that the word Rosh in the Bible is saying 'Russia', and that they will attack Israel in the end times. Whether it is speaking about the church, 'The Israel of God' in the Bible, I don't know. Russia appears to be preparing to attack many nations, and the president of Ukraine is Jewish. There could be some links.
ReplyDeleteBrenda, I've heard that about Rosh for years. I don't know. Sometimes these guys sound so certain, but then it turns out differently. I don't think the news is giving us the full story on Ukraine and how this all started. No one talks about NATO involvement and the coup in 2014. They make it sound like Putin just went mad and sent in the tanks.
DeleteHi Sandi, I have just watched a programme on the tv speaking about Russia attacking Israel in the Bible, he said Russia in the Bible is called 'Rosh' I know that in the Bible the church is called 'God's Israel' so who knows what will be happening soon.
ReplyDeleteI think it is irresponsible for them to say that.
DeleteI never heard of Hudson Taylor, I will look him up. His prophecy is chilling!!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it? Wow.
DeleteI have heard of Hudson Taylor, our Pastor quotes him once in a while in his sermon.
ReplyDeleteI love your sons little chant!
ReplyDeleteThat prophesy is very interesting.
Thanks, Mari! 😊
DeleteVery interesting quote. I remember reading a book about Hudson Taylor many years ago. I don't remember many details, but that he did dress like and adopt the customs of the people where he served the Lord.so that he could lead them to Christ. He was a very "powerful" missionary in many ways. That's all I can remember. I do believe we are getting very close to the Lord's return.
ReplyDeleteIt sure seems like it!
DeleteWe need to pray for world peace.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
YES.
DeleteThis is so interesting to me. I attend a prophecy today seminar monthly that seeks to apply Biblical prophecy to current events. We have spoken of Rush at length. Yes, it is the Biblical name of Russia, and the main text regarding Rosh is in Ezekiel 38 in the discussion of the coming Gog and Magog war. . Our scholar who has studied this intensely for decades believes that Gog and Magog is right around the corner. It is uncertain to him whether it comes right before the tribulation or right before the Rapture, but at any rate it will all culminate soon. Things are aligning and quickly in the scheme of things.
ReplyDeleteWell, I suppose we will see if that is a correct interpretation or not. Not everyone believes Rosh means that.
DeleteI have to google Hudson Taylor. Warm greetings.
ReplyDeleteThe second coming ...
ReplyDeleteAn unknown sea.
PS - on their phones they are on facebook, instagram, youtube or watching movies. :)
Soon, I hope.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of him.
ReplyDeleteYou'd like him, William. He was a humble man.
DeleteTambém pergunto quando?
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.

DeleteOlá Sandi
ReplyDeleteEstamos vivendo tempos trabalhosos, Jesus está voltando. Bjs querida.
Obrigado, Lucinalva.
DeleteWhen Dear and I were first married we attended a class at the church we were going to at the time on Hudson Taylor. It was a great class and study. I didn't realize he had a prophecy.
ReplyDeleteHe had an interesting life, that's for sure.
DeleteBoa terça-feira com muita saúde e paz. Obrigado pela visita e carinho.
ReplyDeleteObrigado, Luiz.
DeleteI hope soon! I will have to check him out. Thank you for sharing this Sandi.
ReplyDeleteFinally, I can comment! I understand the bittersweet. Sometimes it's hard to even look at photos of my three daughters when they were little. I will have to check this person out. I love learning about people who lived unusual lives.
ReplyDeleteI just have to comment, please ladies, look at a wide variety of news outlets. Putin is a man who kills the politicians that oppose him, he is killing women and children because of his land grab, and the fact that he calls a Jewish person, as some of you have brought up, a Nazi, is everything that you need to know. I used to align myself closely with conservatives, but the more they love Putin because they think this billionaire oligarch who robbed his country while most people there are struggling is some kind of God-appointed leader, I’ve finally decide that I can’t align myself with them anymore.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment, Megs. It is hard to know what to believe these days. I hope you will also read a variety of news outlets. If you think only one side does propaganda you are kidding yourself. I hope that none of this will keep you from being open to the Lord. His people, we/me/conservatives or others, may get things wrong. Please do not let that keep you from Him. Also, please read about the Azov battalion. There are people in Ukraine more afraid of them than Putin.
DeleteBom final de semana com muita paz e saúde.
ReplyDeleteObrigado.
DeleteI used to use a flannelgraph lesson to teach about Hudson Taylor - one of the most memorable of missionaries!
ReplyDeleteGostei
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e tenha um bom fim-de-semana.
