Chapter 7: The Name Skene is Memorialized in History Forever

 

 

The "Book of Skene" is also a fulfillment of God's promise in Psalm 128:6 in the sense that the spiritual aspects of the lives of Alexander and John's family name Skene/Skeen/Skeens is carried on from generation to generation and their spiritual aspects are carried on to their spiritual offspring.

 

Psalm 128 6 Indeed, may you see your [family perpetuated in your] children’s children.  Peace be upon Israel!  Amplified

 

Psalm 128 reveals that the man like my Scottish Forefathers who had a reverential fear of the Lord and walked in His ways that both he and his offspring will be blessed and that his family name will be kept alive by his offspring.

 

Psalm 128 Blessed [happy and sheltered by God’s favor] is everyone who fears the Lord [and worships Him with obedience], Who walks in His ways and lives according to His commandments.  2 For you shall eat the fruit of [the labor of] your hands, You will be happy and blessed and it will be well with you.  3 Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine
Within the innermost part of your house; Your children will be like olive plants Around your table.  4 Behold, for so shall the man be blessed and divinely favored Who fears the Lord [and worships Him with obedience].  5May the Lord bless you from Zion [His holy mountain], And may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life; 6 Indeed, may you see your [family perpetuated in your] children’s children.  Peace be upon Israel!  Amplified

 

Let this "Book of Skene" that gives an account of the Spiritual Legacy of our Scottish Forebears Alexander and Lillias Skeens be Recorded for Future Generations, so that a People not yet Born will Praise the LORD.  Psalm 102:18

 

To all my spiritual sons and daughters, beloved of God, who have been called to serve the Lord,  a generation may pass away - but their Testimony unto the Lord remains forever.  The Testimonies of our Scottish Forebears, my Testimony and the Testimony of your generation and the testimonies of those yet to be born - we each have our own story and chapter to contribute to "The Book of Skene" and together we shall compose a volume that truly honors God the Father and Jesus Christ the author and finisher of our faith.

 

The "Book of Skene" that tells each new generation of God's mighty acts and faithfulness is truly a "Living Book - it is truly a Book with no Ending". 

 

In His Faithfulness God has Truly Blessed the House of Skene
