Today's Bible reading is pertinent to some online reading:
Psalm 34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
Psalm 35:5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them.
Psalm 35:6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.
Psalm 34:12-14 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
There is much to be gleaned from old books. Today I learned that the cutting to pieces of Rahab in Isaiah 51 can be understood as part of God's work in parting and securing a passage across the Red Sea for the escape of the Israelites from Egypt.
They weren't just fleeing the Egyptians; there were principalities and powers at work then, just as now.
The Israelites were significantly reminded of the Red Sea passage as they entered the Promised Land, Joshua 4 says, when God stopped the flow of the Jordan River for them to cross over.
There's also the prostitute Rahab who assisted the Israelites, whose God had easily defeated her namesake.
"Three souls flying home because I stayed behind"
One of the souls I've helped toward salvation suddenly flew home recently. This song helped me to really cry for the first time over it.
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.
