Unfortunately many being blinded by prejudice are unable to see past the colored lenses of the creeds they wear; they approach the scriptures carrying way too much “baggage” most of which was derived in the dark ages through the doctrines and precepts of men. This baggage clouds their judgment and thus they are unable to approach the scriptures with an open mind so as to be to be taught of the Lord. Rather they are compelled by these preconceived ideas…
“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with THE VOICE of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.” (1 Thess 4:16) Here the Apostle Paul connects this utterance with Christ’s own words concerning that event, “the dead shall hear THE VOICE of the Son of God,” we can but identify Michael with our Lord Jesus Christ Himself. “Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming,…
