Then he said to me, “Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you gave your heart to understand this and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words. And he saith unto me: Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that thou didst give thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words have been heard, and I have come because of thy words. In the evening, there is sudden terror! Before morning, they are no more! This is the portion of those who loot us and the lot of those who plunder us. My mother had been in a nursing home for four years, when her life on earth was coming to an end. Her physical condition had deteriorated and her death was imminent. My husband, daughters, and I lived ten hours away, and there was no easy air transportation to her town in the upper peninsula of Michigan. A winter storm was predicted to be severe, and had already begun. So we waited until the next morning to leave. That proved to be good choice, since the bridge to the upper peninsula was closed before we would have reached it. Then said he to me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.

Strong's 3091: Joshua -- 'the LORD is salvation', Moses' successor, also the name of a number of IsraelitesAngels carried Lazarus to Abraham’s Bosom, which was also called Paradise by Jesus (Luke 23:43). According to Scripture, it was in the “heart of the earth.” However, when Jesus ascended to Heaven 40 days after His resurrection, He took all those who were at rest in Abraham’s Bosom with Him. (Eph 4:8). Paradise, as Jesus called it, is now in the Third Heaven, which is God’s dwelling place. As Christians, we go there immediately at death (2 Cor 5:8). 3. The Archangel Will Accompany Jesus at the Rapture And the messenger having come in to her, said, “Greetings, favored one, the LORD [is] with you; blessed [are] you among women”; Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel; for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard: and I am come for thy words' sake. There are some people, who seem as if they would not be converted unless they can see some eminent minister. Even that will not suit some of them; they want a special revelation from heaven. They will not take a text from the Bible, — though I cannot conceive of anything better than that; — but they think that, if they could dream something, or if they could hear words spoken, in the cool of the evening, by some strange voice in the sky, then they might be converted. Well, brothers and sisters, if you will not eat the apples that grow on trees, you must not expect angels to come and bring them to you. We have a more sure word of testimony in the Bible than we can have anywhere else. If you will not be converted by that Word, it is a great pity; and it is much more than a pity, it is a great sin. If your Lord and Master condescended to receive consolation from an angel whom he had himself created, you ought to be willing to gather comfort from the feeblest speech of the poorest person, — from the least of the people of God when they try to cheer you. And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,

I was thankful for this angel messenger, not only for the reminder to keep looking up, but to keep shining and giving your all, no matter what the physical circumstances. With the help of the angels, we can do this. Luke 16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried. Next to that, was the tender sympathy which this angelic ministration proved. I can imagine that all the holy angels leant over the battlements of heaven to watch the Saviour’s wondrous life; and now that they see him in the garden, and perceive, by his whole appearance, and his desperate agony, that death is drawing near to him, they are so astonished that they crave permission that at least one of their number shall go down to see if he cannot carry succour to him from his Father’s house above. I can imagine the angels saying, “Did we not sing of him at Bethlehem when he was born? Did not some of us minister to him when he was in the desert, and amongst wild beasts, hungry after his long fast and terrible temptation? Has he not been seen of angels all the while he has been on earth? Oh, let some one of us go to his relief!” And I can readily suppose that God said to Gabriel, “Thy name means, ‘The strength of God,’ go and strengthen your Lord in Gethsemane,”“and there appeared an angel unto him from heaven strengthening him;” and I think that he was strengthened, at least in part, by observing the sympathy of all the heavenly host with him in his season of secret sorrow. He might seem to be alone as man; but, as Lord and King, he had on his side an innumerable company of angels who waited to do his will; and here was one of them, come to assure him that he was not alone, after all.

It happened that night. The LORD's angel went out and killed 185,000 [soldiers] in the Assyrian camp. When the Judeans got up early in the morning, they saw all the corpses.

It is night, and there he kneels, under the olives, offering up, as Paul says, “prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death.” While wrestling there, he is brought into such a slate of agony that he sweats great drops of blood; and, suddenly, there flashes before him, like a meteor from the midnight sky, a bright spirit that had come straight from the throne of God to minister to him in his hour of need. I believe my brother was given a glimpse into the spiritual realm. I believe it was God’s intention for my brother to be alone with our mother at that moment. And I believe that our gracious God gave my brother a glimpse into the spiritual realm. God let him see the peace of a believer at death, the fulfilled promise of Heaven being opened, and our mother’s safe passage to Heaven, being escorted by “sparkly” angels. Besides being thus an infant, and gradually growing in stature just as other children do, our Lord Jesus was often very weary. How the angels must have wondered as they saw him, who sways the sceptre of universal sovereignty, and marshals all the starry hosts according to his will, as he, “being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well” at Sychar, waiting for the woman whose soul he had gone to win, and wiping the sweat from his brow, and resting himself after having travelled over the burning acres of the land. The prophet Isaiah truly said that “the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary.” That is the divine side of his glorious nature. “Jesus, therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well.” That was the human side of his nature. We read that “he did eat nothing” during the forty days’ temptation in the wilderness, and “he afterwards hungered.” Have any of you ever known what it has been to suffer the bitterness of hunger? Then, remember that our Lord Jesus Christ also endured that pang. He, whom we rightly worship and adore as “God blessed for ever,” as the Son of man, the- Mediator between God and men, hungered; and he also thirsted, for he said to the woman at the well, “Give me to drink.” Nebuchadnezzar declared, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent His angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him. They violated the king's command and risked their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God. And he says to me: Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you gave your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words.But an angel of the Lord came at night, opened the gates of the jail, and brought them out. Then he told them,

But what we do know is that we don’t want anyone to go to Hell. We want our family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, and all people, to trust in Jesus and receive His forgiveness of sins and His gift of eternal life. Then, death will be a passage into the promised glory of Heaven…and the journey will not be alone. And it cometh to pass in Joshua's being by Jericho, that he lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, one standing over-against him, and his drawn sword in his hand, and Joshua goeth unto him, and saith to him, 'Art thou for us or for our adversaries?' Now finally free of him, she feels for the first time in Tommy’s short life that she can give him all of her time, love, devotion and the life he deserves but fate has different plans for her. In all our years of pilgrimage to this first Marian Shrine in America, this was a first-- a bird on top of the twenty-story gleaming cross! It seemed like a wonderful angel message from on-high.The highlight of this book is, it shows us how talented David is with his writing skills, which not only made me feel lost in the book but also kept me hooked to the book d the flow of the story intriguing until the end. We are told that angels are “ministering spirits, sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?” ( Hebrews 1:14) If they minister to us during our lives, it’s very reasonable to think they will minister to us at death.
