Spheres of Influence One thing that is essential in being a leader in ministry is a clear call from God. In the…

He uses two different words for “Passover,” the Hebrew word to refer to the old rite, and the Latin term to refer to the new. This hints at the true meaning of the actions described when it says, “Brings to end the olden rite.”(St. 4, v.3.) This line shows the end of the Old…

Not only did they happen to look similar, but their actions towards their people were very similar as well. From the way that they acted to the way that they looked, there were a lot of similarities.
