The discovery of these angels points to the purpose of the vision: the world was at peace because of God, and He would now utilize this peace to restore His people to a state of blessedness. Following a promise of…
morning, indeed before dawn had arrived, I was awoken from my slumber by the frantic knocking of a desperate man. Hearing Keene answer the door, and exchanging a few short words with the visitor. Footsteps, which would shortly be revealed as Keene’s, led up to the opening of the door to my chambers.

Nazi doctors and scientists…
Poetic Merit In this day and age, poetry is often shown through music. Whether it’s with the theme of the lyrics or the figurative language involved, music can clearly show poetic elements.

It relates chapels and tenement halls to…
