Something to think about.

An Assignment...

1. I want you to find a male lad between the ages of 23 and 24.
2. He cannot be a college graduate. In fact, he can possess only three years of formal schooling.
3. He must write a history of an ancient country (such as Tibet), covering a period from 600 BC to 421 AD.
4. Put the history into a book with 102 chapters—25 of them about war, 10 about history, 21 about prophecy, 32 about doctrines, 5 about missionaries, and 9 about the mission of Christ.
5. The lad must include in his writings the history of two distinct and separate nations, along with histories of different contemporary nations or groups of people.
6. His writings must describe the religious, economic, social and political cultures and institutions of these two nations.
7. He must weave into his history the gospel of Jesus Christ and the pattern for Christian living.
8. The lad’s history must be approximately 522 pages with over 500 words per page.
9. He must add 180 proper nouns to the English language; more than William Shakespeare who added 30.
10. When the lad has finished, he must announce that his “literary narrative” is not fiction, but true! It is actual history!
11. In fact, his heroic narrative must fulfill Bible prophecies—even in the exact manner in which they shall come forth, including to whom given.
12. Also, when the 23 year-old lad has finished, he must not make any changes in the text.Not one. No editing allowed! The first edition must stand “forever more.”
13. After pauses for sleep and food, if dictating to a stenographer, he must never ask to have the last paragraph or sentence read back to him.
14. Another thing, the lad must not be allowed to research any of the subjects he’s writing upon.
15. One last thing—how long does he have to finish the project? –It must be completed within 80 Days!You say, “…that’s an impossible assignment. It can’t be done.”Yes, it can. –It was done.
