>If you read #3 you'll also notice the phrase 'and straightway he will send them.' That means in modern English, 'The Lord needs to use them and He'll send it right back.'

I'll be sorry I jumped in here. <g> I haven't read this in the original (I don't read Greek), but what makes you so sure the "he" in the last clause is God, not "any man". I read it as "If anyone stops you, tell him the Lord needs them, and the man will send them."
