Pit Pit

I saw Disciple at Creation Fest this past week. Their guitarists creep me out, but their lead singer has such passion for Christ and music.  He shared with us, before singing After the World, something about Jewish literature.  On the web, we use bold, italics, and capital letters to emphasize a point.  Hebrew authors would use a word twice.  For example, someone can fall into a pit, or they can fall into a pit pit.  If you fall into a pit, you’re in trouble, but if you fall into a pit pit, you’re in trouble trouble.

We serve a holy God.  He is holy.

But, not only is he holy, he is also holy, holy. He is a whole lot of holy.

To top it off though, not only is he holy, holy, but he is Holy, Holy, Holy.

 

Imagine a really big pit. The biggest pit that you can.  So big that it’s a pit pit.

 

Got that in your head?

 

Ok. Make it bigger.

 

Imagine something that is holy, holy

Now make it even more holy.

 

Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God almighty. Who was and is and is to come.
