And I Saw Another Strong Angel Coming Down Out Of Heaven, Clothed With A Cloud; And The Rainbow Was Upon

And I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, clothed with a cloud; and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire; and he had in his hand a little book which was open."

--(Rev. 10:1-2).

Seldom do we embrace a new idea, especially one of a religious nature.

Eli of Kittim

This is the purport of that rule of our mysteries: Nothing divulged to the uninitiated: The supreme [God] is not to be made a common story, the holy things may not be uncovered to the stranger, to any that has not himself attained to see [the vision].

--Plotinus, The Six Enneads, VI, 9 [11]

All the Gentiles … are called by My name.

--Amos 9:12, NKJ

Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. … And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He [Christ] who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one [the Antichrist] will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders."

--2 Thess. 2:1-9, New King James

I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.

--Gen. 9:13
