There has been something of a debate on the funding of higher education in Barbados recently. As is typical, and strange for a well educated country, clear facts and hard information have largely been absent, and persons seem to be taking political and ideological positions. The Nation newspaper recently ran an article about UWI finances after a public pronouncement by the Finance and Economic Affairs Minister. The article prompted me to seek out some hard information on UWI finances, and I was shocked at how hard it was to get some. Finally, after some wheeling and dealing I got my hands on the UWI, Cave Hill audited financials for the period 1999 to 2009.

I am going to do 2 things that I try not to do.
1. Use an article on a substantive subject to comment on a non-tangential, theological thread
2. Comment on a “sanctum sanctorum” issue and pray that the masonics do not send the hibbygibby hobologlobins for me while I am sleeping tonight
To the unitiated I would share this and hope that you understand
“Touch me not for I am not ascended to The Father”
The “vehicle” which rose on Easter which Jesus the Christ incarnated in IS NOT the same “body” that the doubting Thomas pushed his hands through the wounds in the palms post glorious Resurrection!
Sinful man, enfolded in sinful frame, CANNOT enter into the same domain as PURE GOD!
There are many mysteries that are spoken of clearly in the Old and New Testaments but all men have the gift of sight but few the gift od vision.
Translation speaks of the reclaiming of “essence” and that vehicle which belongs to that domain IT DOES NOT SPEAK TO THE FODDER AND DECAY OF BODY THAT CANNOT PASS THE VEIL
This is the Mystery of the Immaculate Conception and why, for those of us who choose to believe, and respect those who DO NOT BELIEVE, this is why the Coming of The Second Adam for the first fallen adam ( purposely commonized because the 2nd is capitalized) this is why some of us are in perpetual awe that Majesty made this sacrifice at Calvary
I will not foist my experiences a la Christ on any of you but as for me, and my household, we believe in One Living God and Jesus is His Son
When Moses came back after communing with GOD during his scribing the Commamdments his “proximity” with THE PRESENCE cause Moses’ essence to shine so much that the rest of them could not look on his face
The prostitutes like Holmes Williams and Jippy Doyle and the procession of archbishops and popes have failed to speak to and of A LIVING GOD so we the masses are guided through a glass darkly.
@ All
Forgive me this digression and ranting for what has nothing to do with UWI financing and yet has everything to do with it
“If a Christian believes Jesus is coming soon he does not have to provide you with proof.”
So does MAD people. Jesus is coming is a whole lotta hog wash. Wunna did waiting from the time wunna came from Africa when the slavemasters gave wunna a God to believe in. A God that tell wunna that it is better to believe in him than the African religion wunna had. If GP was the last doctor on earth I would never go to him for advice.He is delusional!

CONCLUSION OF WHERE DID ELIJAH GO? ………………………….. Letter Comes from Elijah!
Yes, after this wicked rule by the Jewish king, God chose Elijah to write a letter and have it sent to the king!
The contents of the letter are found in II Chronicles 21:12-15. In part it reads: “Because thou hast not walked in the ways of. . . thy father . – . but hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel.. . and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father’s house, which were better than thyself. . . thou shalt have great sickness by disease.”
From the wording of the letter, it is clear that Elijah wrote it after these events had occurred, for he speaks of them as past events, and of the disease as future. Two years after the king became diseased the king died—having reigned only eight short years (II Chronicles 21:18-20).
This proves that the letter was written about ten years after Elijah had been taken to another location by the whirlwind.
God used Elijah to convey the message because he was the prophet of God in days of the present king’s father—and the son was not going in the ways of his obedient father, Jehosophat.
The letter he had others deliver was recognized as his—proving that he was known to be alive someplace. Just how much longer he lived, the Bible does not reveal. But in that “it is appointed unto men once to die”—Elijah must have died somewhat later. See Hebrews 9:27. All human beings born of Adam, and that includes Elijah, must die—for we read: “In Adam ALL DIE” (I Corinthians 15:22). Elijah was a man “subject to like passions as we are” (James 5:17)…subject to human nature and death! The prophet, being mortal flesh as we are, could not have lived much beyond his seventy years.
To suppose that God gave him the power of an endless life of nearly three thousand years already is to read into the Bible what is not there! He was mortal, subject to death, and after being lifted into the atmospheric heavens, spent the remaining years of his separate life at some little-known location on the earth, living as every human being, before he naturally died.
Was Elijah on the Mount?
The only remaining texts that puzzle people are those relative to the appearance of Moses and Elijah on the Mount of Transfiguration with Jesus. The record of the event is found in Matthew 17:1-9; Mark 9:2-10; Luke 9:28-36.
Leaving the mountain, Jesus told his disciples: “Tell the vision to no man (Mat. 17:9).” A vision is not a material reality but a supernatural picture observed by the eyes.
Moses died, and was buried (Deut. 34:5-6). Both he and Elijah were still dead in their graves, but in vision both they and Jesus were seen in the glory of the resurrection—an event to which Moses and Elijah have not yet attained (Heb. 11:39). The vision was granted the disciples after Jesus had spoken of the glory of immortality in the coming kingdom.
How plain the Bible is! Elijah is dead in the dust of the earth awaiting the resurrection of the just. Elijah, some years after being removed in the whirlwind, went to the grave, but will rise again to live forevermore!
this story is fascinating to say the least mindboggling the most but what is most alarming is that many Christains who were fed untruths on this mystery of Elijah and Enoch have gone on into eternity forever buried in ignorance because of a lack of knowledge .PEACE
