Bearing Witness to the Light XLVIII...Lightning Strikes Twice, and then some

J.M.J. + O.B.T. + M.G.R.*




I love lightning
I've always had great appreciation
for both its power and danger.

What does God
reveal in Lightning?

Well firstly,
there is the oft quoted 
scriptural passage:

For just as the lightning
comes from the east
and flashes as far as the west,
so will be the coming
of the Son of Man.
(Matthew 24:27)


Then there is the
lightning-like
countenance
of Our Lord
at
the 
Transfiguration.


And Jesus describes
the falling of Satan
relative to the
power granted
to the

apostles
as like lightning
strikes from heaven.
(Luke 10:18)



At the Resurrection, 
there was an angel
whose raiment 
is described
as white
as 
lightning
(Matthew 28:3)


Then there are the profound
Old Testament images 
of the power and glory;
 lightning
in Exodus, Ezekiel, Daniel,
Zechariah and the Psalms.

Yes, lightning is 
special in God's plan 
and
REVELATION

It (He) 

has something
 very important
 to teach us
about
LIGHT.





Sincerely yours
in Jesus through Mary,
Mike Rizzio

Imitate Mary
Become like Jesus
Live for the Triune God

Seek the Light of Our Lord Jesus Christ
See you on the High Ground!

Jesus, Mary and Joseph;
O Beata Trinitas;
