The watchman kept turning to one passage whenever he opened the Bible. He could not help but know that this is indeed the message to the end times church. Paul is on his last journey now. He is doing a final round the curches he loves and encourages the believers. He is constrained by time and can only say the most essentials. So what he does and says are of the utmost important! In this incident, he speaks through out the night and does not allow himself to be interrupted. One young man fell asleep and fell three stories to his death. But Paul is unperturbed. Afterall he has lived supernaturally practically all his life as a born again Christian. He merely resurrected the young man from the dead and continues with the preaching of his last sermon and taking Holy Communion with the believers of this church! Again, you need the Holy Spirit to decode his sermon here.
