What Was He? (Classic Reprint)

Fitz-James O'Brien (1828-1862) was an author and is often considered one of the forerunners of today's Science Fiction. While he was in college he had shown an aptitude for writing verse, and two of his poems Loch Ine and Irish Castles were published in The Ballads of Ireland (1856). His earliest writings in the United States were contributed to the Lantern. Subsequently he wrote for the Home Journal, the New York Times, and the American Whig Review. His first important literary connection was with Harper's Magazine, and beginning in February, 1853, with The Two Skulls, he contributed more than sixty articles in prose and verse to that periodical. He likewise wrote for the New York Saturday Press and the Atlantic Monthly. To the latter he sent The Diamond Lens (1858) and The Wonder Smith (1859), which are unsurpassed as creations of the imagination, and are unique among short magazine stories. Amongst his other works are What Was It? (1889), My Wife's Tempter, The Child Who Loved a Grave, The Golden Ingot and The Wondersmith.

What Was True

What Was in the Cup? will help you get a clearer understanding of what Christ was instructing his disciples at the Last Supper. We must know that Jesus always spoke in parables throughout his ministry, which in turn would help us understand the spiritual significance of his teachings. Throughout the Christian world, there have been and still are a variety of interpretations on this subject. For those who use wine for communion, a question should arise among the believers: Why would God use an element or substance that he spoke of in a derogatory manner as harmful to the soul-and was also forbidden to partake of when entering into the holy place-to represent his life? I thank God for revealing his truth. This book will help unfold the mystery of what really was in the cup that would bring remembrance of his death and suffering. The scripture says, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." We know that many left Jesus because they didn't understand the spiritual significance of his words, such as "Eat my flesh" and "Drink my blood." They interpreted his words literally and not spiritually. So many follow tradition rather than searching for truth. Thank God for revealing the truth and understanding of his Word.
