Strong's 4119: Or neuter pleion, or pleon comparative of polus; more in quantity, number, or quality; also the major portion.

I also didn't like how all everyone cared or talked about was how hot the hero was, or how bada** he is, and yet the first time he has a chance to prove it, he literally gets captured and tortured. Weak. Same goes for the heroine though. She was a bounty hunter but loses against everyone in hand to hand combat. Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? Archangels are called the great heralds of the Good News because they are sent by God to deliver important messages to mankind. They are the ones that communicate and interact with us. Michael is believed to be the angel who delivered God’s divine inspiration to John in the Book of Revelation and is known as the protector of the Church, guarding her from evil. Michael is most widely known for his role in expelling Lucifer from heaven. Gabriel is first mentioned in the Book of Daniel and helps Daniel in his mission on earth. Later on, Gabriel appears to Zachariah and the Blessed Virgin Mary, delivering the greatest message ever that God meant to Incarnate and set his tent with us. Raphael is mentioned in the Book of Tobit, to heal Tobit and deliver Sarah from a demon. Raphael accomplished both acts, disguised as a human, guiding Tobias along the way and instructing him on what to do. Powers Knowing the power of one angel, what could the twelve legions of angels have done? At the same rate as the angel who killed the Assyrians, those angels could have slaughtered more than 11 billion people in one night. Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?

How much strength do you think one angel possesses? Today I’d like for us to consider the full impact of Jesus’ words in Matthew 26:53, where He said, “Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?” Peter issued this challenge to all Christians: “ But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence” (1 Peter 3:15). However, many Christians feel unprepared to do this; therefore, many conversations that could potentially lead people to the truth never get started.

Or do you think that I cannot call on My Father, and He will provide Me at once with more than 12 legions of angels? problem, I don't like our special snowflake of heroine doesn't know her parentage. So tomorrow instead of some street urchin with just strong will power would be be like higher up Angel (or Gods) bastard child for all we know.You have Leda, the incredibly witty and spunky main character. You can argue she's a Mary-Sue and I wouldn't disagree, but at least she's a loveable Mary-Sue. I cannot compliment her wit enough, there were so many moments in the book that made me smile and even laugh out loud. She brings out the good and goofy part of others and maybe that's why I find her so hard to dislike? Of special significance is St. Michael as he has been invoked as patron and protector by the Church from the time of the Apostles. The Eastern Rite and many others place him over all the angels, as Prince of the Seraphim. He is described as the "chief of princes" and as the leader of the forces of heaven in their triumph over Satan and his followers. The angel Gabriel first appeared in the Old Testament in the prophesies of Daniel, he announced the prophecy of 70 weeks (Dn 9:21-27). He appeared to Zechariah to announce the birth of St. John the Baptist (Lk 1:11). It was also Gabriel which proclaimed the Annunciation of Mary to be the mother of our Lord and Saviour. (Lk 1:26) The angel Raphael first appeared in the book of Tobit (Tobias)Tb 3:25, 5:5-28, 6-12). He announces "I am the Angel Raphael, one of the seven who stand before the throne of God." (Tb 12:15) Principalities

When your MC repeatedly says "this is unbelievable" or something to that effect, in a situation that is unbelievable, in all the wrong ways... You're not being witty, you're being willfully neglectful of the fact that your writing is sloppy... Fix it! The emotional tone of the book is flat as a pane of smooth glass, no ups and downs. No Ella, if girl's brother gets kidnapped and then she witnesses a ghastly death she's not likely to happily examine her new room at the hostel and make jokes! When your best friend nearly kills your... crush? Dunno but someone you're definitely attracted to, there is more fluff than "meh, off to the authorities we go"Strong's 3936: Or prolonged paristano from para and histemi; to stand beside, i.e. to exhibit, proffer, recommend, substantiate; or to be at hand, aid.

I was reading Matthew’s account of the betrayal and arrest in the Garden of Gesthemane in Chapter 26. Verse 53 jumped out at me. Warrior Angels Awaiting Jesus’ Request In another sense, Jesus’ use of 12 can be viewed as symbolic. Biblically, twelve symbolizes God’s government. The entire host of Heaven was awaiting God’s command to rescue their Lord. Strong's 1380: A prolonged form of a primary verb, doko dok'-o of the same meaning; to think; by implication, to seem. I started reading Ella's new book with interest as I was keen to see how she would portray angels, gods and vampires and she did not disappoint me and I cannot wait to see where she is taking them, as well as gods and demons. I mean there's a whole gamut of supernaturals to get your teeth into and yet I'm left with the feeling we've only just really started seeing them. Thanks for helping,” I said with a fake smile, tossing the saucepan aside. He looked from me, to the unconscious vampires, to the debris of glass and fire all across the club. “What the hell was that?”When you candidly examine your life, do you find that the same problems keep resurfacing again and again? Does this indicate that you are trying to solve those problems in the strength of your flesh instead of relying on the power of Jesus to help you? Jesus had some goals to accomplish when he left the Heaven to come to Planet Earth as a human. And he accomplished all of them. The Cross was a success. By contrast, Christ, David’s greater Son, had at His command “more than twelve legions of angels.” These were not mere soldiers, as those guarding David; these were angels. Let us consider the power of just one angel in the days of King Hezekiah. “And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses” (IIKings 19:35). Simple multiplications shows that 288,000 such angels could handle 53 billion soldiers! And Christ had access to more angels than that!
