Long-forgotten Bible survives fire in Brenham, Tx 

 

BRENHAM, TX – Valerie Escalera says she has no explanation, no idea how such a thing could happen. A book, Escalera said, was sitting inside the cab of her burned-out pickup truck, on what used to be the back seat. She wasn’t expecting to find much when she finally got the nerve to inspect her beloved 1995 truck after it was destroyed by fire Sunday afternoon while her father Armondo was driving it on Highway 105.  Escalera peeked through the windows and saw one item intact.  There was a book sitting on the springs of the back seat, the wind flipping its pages.  

 

“I thought, ‘Oh my God. What is this?” she said. 

 
When the pages flipped back to reveal the cover, she knew immediately what it was.  It was her leather-bound Bible, inscribed on the cover with her name and her ex-husband’s name.  It sent a shiver up Escalera’s back. 
 
The Bible had survived a fire that fused the doors shut and melted away the dashboard.
 
 “When it revealed itself that it was the holy Bible, I thought, ‘This is unbelievable. This is crazy,’” she said.  You see images (of religious figures) and all that.  But this is sitting in the back of our good old ranch truck. Everything burned and melted around it. There’s not even a steering wheel.“
 

The leather cover is barely charred. The edges of the Bible are intact.  

 
“I’d put it in a cardboard box, and there’s no trace of that.”  
 
Escalera said she tucked the Bible away when she drove the truck here from California in 1996, covered it with sweatshirts and forgot about it.   Until Monday.
 

“I’m not sure what I’m going to do with it,” she said this morning. “I’m going to try and take it out. Maybe it’s an omen or something …”

 Couple finds Bible in the ashes of burned down home in Newport, TN

 

NEWPORT, TENN. (WVLT) — A Newport couple that lost almost everything they own in a house fire found a surprise in the ashes.  Justin and Cynthia Wagner were just about to head to bed on Sunday night at their Trentham Road home when they smelled something burning coming from outside the house. Justin said he looked out his front porch and noticed the garage he converted into a makeshift apartment was engulfed in flames.  The fire destroyed the Wagner’s garage, left their Mazda unrecognizable, and did extensive damage to the majority of their two-story home.

 

“Pretty much everything that we own is gone,”  Wagner said. 

 

But then a friend found an unexpected surprise while he was helping the couple clean up on Wednesday morning.  In the middle of the ashes was a Bible, opened up to JOHN 3:16.  The verse reads, “For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”  Wagner took that as a clear sign.  

 

“That tells you right there that God is still here with us, he’s still here for us,” he said.

 

The majority of the Bible was burned with the edges of the pages blackened and charred, but the words of the passage are nearly untouched and clearly visible. Wagner said he has no doubt in his mind that God saved he and his wife that night because there is still more work for them to do on this earth

Bible Survives ‘Unscathed’ in Fiery Crash in Memphis, TN

 

MEMPHIS, TN –  An official showed off a bible that was recovered, unharmed, from a car that completely destroyed after it exploded and burst into flames. (Credit: WREG)  A Tennessee man was rescued from a vehicle by good Samaritans and police on Sunday just moments before it exploded and caught fire.   The crash happened on the eastbound side of I-385 near Memphis on Sunday afternoon. The 2014 Jeep Laredo struck a pole and burst into flames.   The Memphis Police Department responded to the scene. An officer and several Good Samaritans were able to pull the trapped driver out of the vehicle right before the explosion.

 

After firefighters extinguished the fire, officials found an undamaged Bible in the passenger seat of the vehicle. The driver was taken to Regional Medical Center with non-critical injuries. His car was completely destroyed. One witness posted video on Facebook saying, “I just saw GOD on 385.”

 

Anita Irby wrote,
THE ENTIRE EXPRESSWAY STOPPED and people ran from their cars trying to break the windows and open the doors of this mans car to free him; as they were, the others went up in prayer for God to deliver this man from the paws of the devil.[…] None of the flames touched him.”

GAFFNEY, SOUTH CAROLINA – The sweltering blaze engulfed the car and everything in it. Those who witnessed it never guessed anything could survive such an intense car fire.

 

“When the fire was burning it was an intense fire,”  said onlooker, TJ Felder.  “Then it just blew up.”

 

But then firefighters pulled an intact Bible from the backseat.

 

“There was a bible in the backseat,”  said Gaffney Fire Department Chief Jamie Caggiano.

 

“It was charred on the edges but not burnt up.”

Dollywood employee finds burned Bible page after wildfires in Gatlinburg, TN 

 

bible

GATLINBURG, TENNESSEE – The day after wildfires tore through Gatlinburg, damaging or destroying more than 700 structures, killing at least 10 people and displacing thousands, Isaac McCord was doing his part to help out, picking up debris from the Dollywood park grounds.

 

Gripping his rake, he revisited a spot in Craftsman Valley he had skimmed over after his co-worker, Misty Carver, quipped, “Is that how you clean your room?”   Provoked, he said he had started “really getting in the nooks and crannies” under a park bench when he caught a glimpse of a piece of paper lying in a puddle of water — soggy, seared and torn in two.

 

McCord, a University of Tennessee alumnus who now works as a human resources training coordinator at Dollywood, said he had no idea what the paper would read, but considering the circumstances, he was curious enough to pick it up.

 

“As soon as I got down on the ground, I noticed it was a Bible verse, and I was like holy crap,”   McCord said in a phone interview on Tuesday night. “It was in a puddle of water. I said, ‘I want to take care of this the best way I can,’ so I gently scooped it up and carried it out the best I could.”

 

McCord, 24, sat on the bench where he found the paper, and called Carver over. Their work partners, Dollywood wardrobe manager Angela Davis and employee Kimberly Moore, had left to go to the restroom, McCord said.

 

In silence, the pair pored over the page, the edges of which were burned black, rendering many words illegible. But parts of the right side of the page were preserved enough to get the message across: it perfectly reflected, McCord said, the tragic natural disaster that had thrust Gatlinburg and Sevier County into the national spotlight the night before.

 

“O Lord, to thee will I cry: For the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field,”  the page reads, according to a picture of the page posted on McCord’s Facebook.

 

“At first, we didn’t know what part of the book it was from,” McCord said on Tuesday night, “but we saw bits and pieces about fire and scorching the land, and how the beast groaned and roared for help.”

 

The page appears to be from the first chapter of Joel from the King James version of the Bible

 

“We were like this is unreal, this is unbelievable,” McCord said. “When we had both fully read it, we looked at each other — and I will never forget this moment — we both burst into tears. I was ghost white, and we just prayed. There was nothing else to do.

 

“Still to this moment, almost four hours after the fact, I don’t have words for it.”

 

The Page from Joel was burned through verse 17 which was right in the middle of the page.  The Hebrew Language is written alpha-numerically which means each letter, word, or phrase,   has a numeric value associated with it.    The 17th letter in Hebrew is Mouth, from one which speaks. 

 

“The Voice out of the middle of the fire.”

 

17 is the LAW which proceeded from the MOUTH of God

 

Man does not live alone but by every word

that proceeds out of the MOUTH of God

 

Deuteronomy 4 : An Exhortation to Obedience (Leviticus 25:18-22; Deuteronomy 11:1-7; Deuteronomy 28:1-14)

1Now therefore listen, O Israel, to the statutes and to the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that you may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers gives you. 2You shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall you diminish ought from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. 3Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD your God has destroyed them from among you. 4But you that did join to the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day.

5Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that you should do so in the land where you go to possess it. 6Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. 7For what nation is there so great, who has God so near to them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call on him for? 8And what nation is there so great, that has statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?

9Only take heed to yourself, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life: but teach them your sons, and your sons’ sons; 10Specially the day that you stood before the LORD your God in Horeb [h2722] , when the LORD said to me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live on the earth, and that they may teach their children. 11And you came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the middle of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.

Strong’s Hebrew Concordance
Horeb [h2722] חֹרֵב Chôrêb occurs 17times in 17verses 

  • “desolate, Mt. Sinai where the Law was given to Moses by God ” 

 12And the LORD spoke to you out of the middle of the fire: you heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only you heard a voice.

Moses was 80 years old at time of Exodus

Moses Spent 80 days in the Mount with God

 

At age 17 Joseph sold into slavery, then ruled in Egypt, 80 years 

 13And he declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them on two tables of stone. 14And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it.

Warning against Idolatry (Deuteronomy 12:29-32; Ezekiel 6:1-7)

15Take you therefore good heed to yourselves; for you saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spoke to you in Horeb out of the middle of the fire: 16Lest you corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female, 17The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flies in the air, 18The likeness of any thing that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth: 19And lest you lift up your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, should be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD your God has divided to all nations under the whole heaven. 20But the LORD has taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as you are this day.

21Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in to that good land, which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance: 22But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but you shall go over, and possess that good land. 23Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD your God has forbidden you. 24For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.

The page found in the middle of CRAFTSMAN Valley in Dollywood.

25When you shall beget children, and children’s children, and you shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD your God, to provoke him to anger: 26I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto you go over Jordan to possess it; you shall not prolong your days on it, but shall utterly be destroyed. 27And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and you shall be left few in number among the heathen, where the LORD shall lead you. 28And there you shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. 29But if from there you shall seek the LORD your God, you shall find him, if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul. 30When you are in tribulation, and all these things are come on you, even in the latter days, if you turn to the LORD your God, and shall be obedient to his voice; 31(For the LORD your God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake you, neither destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he swore to them.

The Great Tribulation began 10 months later on 9/23

The Covenant in Horeb

1And Moses called all Israel, and said to them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that you may learn them, and keep, and do them. 2The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. 3The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day. 4The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the middle of the fire, 5(I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the word of the LORD: for you were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,

The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17)

6I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

7You shall have none other gods before me.

8You shall not make you any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth: 9You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, 10And showing mercy to thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

11You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain.

12Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD your God has commanded you. 13Six days you shall labor, and do all your work: 14But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD your God: in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your ox, nor your ass, nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates; that your manservant and your maidservant may rest as well as you. 15And remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD your God brought you out there through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the sabbath day.

16Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you; that your days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with you, in the land which the LORD your God gives you.

17You shall not kill.

18Neither shall you commit adultery.

19Neither shall you steal.

20Neither shall you bear false witness against your neighbor.

21Neither shall you desire your neighbor’s wife, neither shall you covet your neighbor’s house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is your neighbor’s.

Moses Intercedes for the People (Exodus 20:18-21; Hebrews 12:18-29)

22These words the LORD spoke to all your assembly in the mount out of the middle of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them to me. 23And it came to pass, when you heard the voice out of the middle of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders; 24And you said, Behold, the LORD our God has showed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the middle of the fire: we have seen this day that God does talk with man, and he lives. 25Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die. 26For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the middle of the fire, as we have, and lived? 27Go you near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak you to us all that the LORD our God shall speak to you; and we will hear it, and do it.

28And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when you spoke to me; and the LORD said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken to you: they have well said all that they have spoken. 29O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever! 30Go say to them, Get you into your tents again. 31But as for you, stand you here by me, and I will speak to you all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it. 32You shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God has commanded you: you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 33You shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.

HATTIESBURG, MISSISSIPPI. —A tornado wreaked havoc on parts of southern Mississippi.  The William Carey University campus in Hattiesburg was hit hard, with the gym destroyed and many other buildings having sustained extensive damage. The stained-glass window in the school’s Bass Chapel is gone — but it’s what was left inside the chapel that has many amazed.

 

The tornado left a Bible unharmed and open to PSALM 46, which begins,

 

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”

 

Rick Wilemon, who teaches in the school’s art department, posted photos of the chapel and Bible to Facebook.

 

The tornado killed four people and injured more than 50 others, according to the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency.

 

The William Carey University campus remains closed while the university works to rebuild and prepares to resume classes.

Bible pulled from fire rubble restores family’s faith in Haughton, LA 

HAUGHTON, LOUISIANA – A Haughton family loses everything in a house fire early Christmas morning, but they have found comfort after family Bibles are pulled from the rubble, intact.

 

The fire happened just after midnight Monday morning on Highway 164.

 

“Money, insurance cards, life insurance cards, deeds to the house. They’ve been staying here for like 30 years and everything they own is gone, all their clothes everything.”

 

Everything that had been a part of Tineke Brewer’s parents lives, now reduced to rubble. 

 

On Christmas Eve, her 70-year-old mother chose to spend the night at the hospital with her 76-year-old husband, who’s fighting to live following brain surgery.  The only one inside was Tineke’s cousin. 

 

“She said something touched her and told her to get up,” explained Tineke, “so she said when she got up she walked out her door and she seen smoke and fire. Her window was hard to lift up, she said that she just kept on trying to pry it open and she jumped out the window.”

 

Looking at the pile of debris, Tineke can’t help but think “what if.” 

 

“My son, he usually stays over here when my mom is at the hospital, and that night around 10 o’clock he came home and he said his head was hurting, so I gave him some medicine he laid on my couch and went to sleep.”

 

Two hours later, the fire erupted.

 

“My husband and my nephew were putting up a basketball goal at the back for the kids, and they ran over here and came knocking on the door saying my mom’s house was on fire. My child could’ve been there.”

 

But the only items to survive the blaze assures them that this is all part of God’s plan.

 

“The Bible is the only thing, everything else is crisp and burnt, but the Holy Bible never burns up, it’s a blessing.”

 

The charred edges reminding them to be strong, brave and to be thankful.

Fire Destroys South Carolina Home But Bible Remains Intact Among Rubble in North Augusta, SC  

 

NORTH AUGUSTA, SC –  A North Augusta family is rebuilding after a fire left them without a home.  The family lost everything, including their 2 dogs, but among all the rubble one thing remained.

 

“I will never leave you or forsake you, and he hasn’t left us.”Homeowner Wendy Crawley told WJBF NewsChannel 6. 

 

Crawley says she was on her way home, when she saw her life go up in smoke. Wet pages and minor smoke damage, but her bible survived the fire that destroyed the home and just about everything in it. 

 

“Laying on my night stand, is where I kept it.” Crawley said. “It was the only thing I found that we really needed.” 

 

 

The flames showed no mercy, claiming the lives of Crawley’s two dogs. 

 

“One we’ve had one for 15 years and the other one was our son’s service dog.” She said. 

 

Crawley says Sugar was very special to her 10-year-old, who was diagnosed with Autism 8 years ago. 

 

“She was always there for him,” she said. “If he couldn’t figure out how to calm down, she would come and she would sit, and she would just lay on him and love on him.” 

 

On Monday, the homeowner took our crew through what was left of her house. For 17 years her family made memories there. Now they can only start over with their faith and the community’s support on their side. 

 

“God didn’t start that fire, but he has certainly brought you through it.” She told WJBF NewsChannel 6. 

 

Crawley says the bible is only one of the miracles she witnessed, that reminds her someone upstairs is keeping her and her family safe.

 

“Do you want to know something crazy? When we came over here, not an ash on that bed.” Crawley said. “Now the cabinet beside it, is messed up, but not an ash on his bed.” 

 

Crawley does have homeowners insurance. At this time the cause of the fire has not been determined. She tells WJBF NewsChannel 6 she hopes to find her son a new service dog.  Crawley and her family are currently staying with her parents in North Augusta.

  • “Note on Baptism in Ac. Baptism in water (such as John’s) is distinguished from baptism with the Holy Spirit (i. 5, etc.). Those who receive the latter, however, may also be baptized in water (cf. xi. 16 with x. 47); and there is one example of people who had previously received John’s baptism receiving Christian baptism as a preliminary to receiving the Spirit (xix. 3 ff.). John’s was a baptism of repentance (xiii. 24; xix. 4), as was also Christian baptism (ii. 38), but as John’s pointed forward to Jesus (xix. 4), it became obsolete when He came. Christian baptism followed faith in the Lord Jesus (xvi. 31 ff.); it was associated with His name (ii. 38; viii. 16, etc.), which was invoked by the person baptized (xxii. 16); it signified the remission (ii. 38) or washing away of sins (xxii. 16); sometimes it preceded (ii. 38; viii. 15 ff.; xix. 5), sometimes followed (x. 47 f.) the receiving of the Spirit.” (F. F. Bruce. The Acts of the Apostles [Greek Text Commentary], London: Tyndale, 1952, p. 98, n. 1.)

    This word should not be confused with baptô (911). The clearest example that shows the meaning of baptizo is a text from the Greek poet and physician Nicander, who lived about 200 B.C. It is a recipe for making pickles and is helpful because it uses both words. Nicander says that in order to make a pickle, the vegetable should first be ‘dipped’ (baptô) into boiling water and then ‘baptised’ (baptizô) in the vinegar solution. Both verbs concern the immersing of vegetables in a solution. But the first is temporary. The second, the act of baptising the vegetable, produces a permanent change
