...to parts of the Bible that I haven't read in a while. I was surprised reading in Judges by how Samson's thirst was satisfied by God, and by the visitations of the angel to his parents before he was conceived, and by the dramatic departure of the angel as he ascended on a flame.
Likewise, I've been led to circle back on a topic or two, and I found things of significance that I didn't notice there before.
It is very difficult, often impossible, to be complete and accurate in our understanding, even when we're trying to be.
I have, however, noticed that when I circle back, search engines will give me some results that I would have like to have had the first time around. There is some sort of throttle operating there, and some sort of algorithm that injects irrelevant garbage into the search results.
I happened to read about the Gadarene swine in Mark 3 this morning before coming across this piece, which mentions it.
David Clements mentions Michael Cocchini. A quick internet search tells me that they've worked together before, and that a different Michael Cocchini--and a Susan Clements--went fatally missing in the Smoky Mountains. At separate times.
Feels like a rabbit hole.
Much like Jonathan Cahn connects the major demons of ancient Israel to today's United States, Clements says that the spirits of the Nephilim are here and active.

A couple months ago, I put a piece of paper on the fridge--our Scammer Prayer List. We were often getting multiple scam calls per day, and while probably none of them told us their real name, God stills knows who they are and where they live, and He surely has something better for them to do all day than bother people like us.
Two names went onto the list, and these scammers were duly prayed for--they still are--and suddenly the number of scam calls dropped, by a lot. The list still has only two names on it.
The Bible says that "the gates of hell" will not prevail against Christ's Church.
A boomer apologizes, albeit without much clarity.
"It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs," Jesus said; Matthew 15:26.
I recently understood that I am spending my life in rebuilding spiritual and practical foundations that had been foolishly undermined by previous generations.
