Study Notes

World War II and the Nazis

  • In the summer of 1944, a massive Allied invasion of Normandy took place, marking a turning point in World War II.
  • The French Resistance, aided by a "man that never was" (a fictional character), played a crucial role in disrupting the Nazis' freedom of movement.

The Allies and National Sins

  • The Allies, including the nation that gave birth to Luther, had forgotten their history and were guilty of apathy, silence, and moral cowardice.
  • These sins would lead to a new era of insecurity and antagonisms.

Bill's Story

  • Bill, a soldier, was part of the Allied forces, building bridges and serving in the engineers.
  • He carried a box of "precious promises" (scripture quotes) and relied on his faith to get him through difficult times.
  • Bill was issued a first aid kit instead of a weapon, due to his knowledge of first aid, and served as a Red Cross medic.

The River Assault

  • Bill participated in a surprise river assault, where he was issued a flamethrower, but didn't have to use it.
  • He sang a song about God's love and felt happy, despite the danger, and explained to a fellow soldier that he had eternal life.
  • The assault was unopposed, and Bill's unit took few prisoners.

The Vision

  • Bill had a vision of a big machine with a number on it, which was confirmed by a letter from Sister Morrow in Canada, who had a similar vision.
  • Bill believed that God had kept his hand on him and vindicated him throughout the war.

The Mission Call

  • During a battle, Bill prayed for instant death if he were to be hit, and then moved out to place an explosive charge on a rock.
  • He raised his hands and worshiped God in tongues, glorifying Him for His goodness.
  • Bill saw a vision in the sky, where the northern part of South America (Colombia) was ablaze with fire, symbolizing spiritual revival.
  • He received a call from God to go to South America as a missionary.
  • Bill shared his vision with Ruth, and they both received a call to go to Colombia as missionaries.
