Seven angels stood around God with trumpets, another gave an offering of incense to Him. The censer that the angel had was filled with fire and was cast out to earth with with lighting, earthquakes, thunder, and voices surrounding it.

    The Book of John is foundational to the Christian faith. As a foremost document declaring the deity of Jesus, the text decisively establishes that He is God. Contained in the book, there are clear declarations by Jesus where He uses the name of God for Himself. By using the Old Testament name of God, “I AM,” Jesus is speaking in a style that presents Himself as deity. One place where this testimony is undisputable is in the description of the Good Shepherd.…

The four horsemen is a seriously morbid omen to place on someone pure enough to be established as a Christ figure, but when considering how after his return Rahel and her family 's lives begin to spiral, it 's certainly an omen that came…
