"Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar...(Joel 2:17a)." I must admit that I would much prefer reading what someone else has to say about this particular time in history as opposed to writing about it myself.

ANGELS The Greek word for angels means (and is sometimes translated) messenger. It is used for God, for men (as in Lk.7:24), for man's spirit (Acts 12:15) but primarily for a great order of spirit-creatures. Our study will be confined to these creatures. Although generally unseen, angels are very re... Read More

Read: 1 John 5:6 In the opening chapters of scripture we are told of a river that flowed through the garden of Eden to water it and give it life. At the end of scripture (Revelation 22), we read, And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God an... Read More
