Let there be Light
Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday
and today and forever
Genesis 21:33
And Abraham planted a Tamarisk Tree in Beersheba,
and there he called upon
the Name of the Lord,
the Eternal God
Psalm 119:160
The sum of your word is truth,
and every one of your righteous rules endures forever.
and every one of your righteous rules endures forever.
1 Peter 1:12
It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look.
Lamentations 3:22-23
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Today, for the first time, I saw a collection of Male Angel Statues. Art of the Renaissance. And during both the First Vatican Church from 400 to 1600 A.D. and the second Vatican. Castel Sant'Angelo, Castle of the Holy Angel.
Exodus 25:18
And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work shall you make them, on the two ends of the mercy seat.
The Ark of the Covenant is more than a box. Instead, Our Father calls this His Mercy Seat. Consider all the Wonders angels have seen. He knows the name of each of the Host of Heaven.
The witness of the Castel Sant'Angelo is mighty fine to repeat:
Castel Sant'Angelo, or Castle of the Holy Angel,
Begun in 134 to 139 A.D. Once the tallest building in Rome, initially commissioned by Roman Emperor Hadrian as a family mausoleum. Originally, the mausoleum was a decorated cylinder, with a garden top and golden quadriga. Hadrian's ashes were placed here a year after his death in Baiae in 138, together with those of his wife Sabina, and his first adopted son, Lucius Aelius, who died in 138. Following this, the remains of succeeding emperors were also placed here. Now renowned for the Baroque additions of statues of angels holding aloft instruments of the Passion of Christ.
407 A.D., conversion to a military fortress in 401 A.D., and the original decorative bronze and stone statuary were thrown down upon the attacking Goths when they besieged Rome in 537, as recounted by Procopius. An unusual survivor, however, is the capstone of a funerary urn (probably that of Hadrian), which made its way to Saint Peter's Basilica. The use of spolia from the tomb in the post-Roman period was noted in the 16th century by Giorgio Vasari.
Wonders of God.
Reports are recorded the Archangel Michael appeared atop the mausoleum, sheathing his sword as a sign of the end of the plague of 590 A.D., thus lending the castle its present name.
A 15th-century traveler saw an angel statue on the castle roof. He recounts during a prolonged season of the plague, Pope Gregory I heard that the populace, even Christians, had begun revering a pagan idol at the church of Santa Agata in Suburra. A vision urged the pope to lead a procession to the church. Upon arriving, the idol miraculously fell apart with a clap of thunder.
Returning to St Peter's by the Aelian Bridge, the pope had another vision of an angel atop the castle, wiping the blood from his sword on his mantle, and then sheathing it. While the pope interpreted this as a sign that God was pleased. Today, St. Michael the Archangel with his sword is a statue there.. In 1536, Montelupo also created a marble statue of Saint Michael holding his sword after the 590 plague (as described above) to surmount the Castel. Later Paul III built an apartment, to ensure that in any future siege the pope had a great place to stay.

and has seen the Throne of God.
Montelupo's statue was replaced by a bronze statue of the same subject, executed by the Flemish sculptor Peter Anton von Verschaffelt, in 1753. Verschaffelt's is still in place and Montelupo's can be seen in an open court in the interior of the Castle.
Deuteronomy 13
17 None of the devoted things shall stick to your hand, that the Lord may turn from the fierceness of his anger and show you mercy and have compassion on you and multiply you, as he swore to your fathers, 18 if you obey the voice of the Lord your God, keeping all his commandments that I am commanding you today, and doing what is right in the sight of the Lord your God.

and the train of His robe filled the temple.
Above Him stood the seraphim.
Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
And one called to another and said:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
the whole earth is full of His glory!”
And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
Abba, Father,
