And behold, the angels of God were\n ascending and descending on it! (ESV)\n\n An old Spiritual hymn is based on the story of Jacob as he\n fled from his enraged brother, Esau. The first verse of the hymn\n says:\n We are climbing Jacob's ladder,\n We are climbing Jacob's ladder,\n We are climbing Jacob's ladder,\n Soldiers of the cross.[1]\n\n\n Moses recorded Jacob's vision:\n And he dreamed, and behold, there was a ladder set up\n on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven. And\n behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending\n on it!\n\n\n Immediately we see a disconnect between the song and the\n Biblical account. Jacob was asleep. In the vision, angels, the\n messengers of God, ascended and descended from heaven to earth to\n do as God commanded. They bring hope to those who believe in the\n God of Abraham, they help protect the Church, they proclaim God's\n glory.\n\n We are not on the ladder ascending to heaven. That would\n make heaven a reward for hard work, for our efforts. But our\n salvation from sin and eternal death is a gift, announced by\n God's messengers, given to us out of His love, grace, and mercy.\n\n Tomorrow we will discover more about this vision, the hope\n it gave to Jacob, and the comfort it brings to each person.\n\n May our Lord grant us faith to hear, learn, and trust in His\n Word alone. Amen.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n ____________________\n\n 1. https:\/\/hymnary.org\/text\/we_are_climbing_jacobs_ladder_we_are_cli\/fulltexts<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"October 8, 2024 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2392","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2024"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2392","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2392"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2392\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2393,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2392\/revisions\/2393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2392"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
