1 Kings 18:44 The seventh time the servant reported, "A cloud as small as a man's hand is rising from the sea." So Elijah said, "Go and tell Ahab, 'Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.' "
Hey, you're right! "As small as" is so not the same as "the size of"!
This is what the KJV says
"And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down that the rain stop thee not."
This is off the top of my head.......favorite for the end time..
And there will be wars and rumors of war...... (and some how everyone stops there) but the rest of the verse says... but the time is not yet. Matthew 24:6

Isaiah 28:11 “For with stammering lips and another tongue He will speak to this people, To whom He said, “This is the rest with which you may cause the weary to rest,” and, “This is the refreshing”; yet they would not hear.”
This passage has nothing to do with the baptism of the Holy Ghost!
The kingdom of God suffereth violence and the violent take it by force...
The church takes this to mean that for some reason people need to get angry in their witness as they take the message to the street, which equates to a relentlessness that make the Jehova Witnesses look like kids collecting newspaper money but not any more effective.
What is better, for someone to say, "Wow, that person is really passionate and wouldn't give up...now turn it up and pass the chips." OR "Thank you for listening to me, I would love to go to church with you."
