Every major religious denomination and church group has used the cross and crown emblem.
From Catholic to Lutheran to Southern Baptist, there is nothing even mildly unusual about it

My Prediction Regarding New Space Telescope That Will See Back to 100 Million Years From the Big Bang
by Sea Breeze ina new space telescope launched a few days age that will supposedly be able to see to within 100 million years of the big bang.
wow... only 100 million years from the big bang.
that is pretty early given the 12 billion year age of the universe assigned by scholars who adhere to naturalism.

John Mather, a senior project scientist for the JWST maintains a blog where he sometimes addresses questions about the telescope and big bang theory.

Mather has pointed out more than once that WMAP, COBE and Planck have all "looked" back farther than the JWST is capable of.

The definitive work on Einstein and God/Religion was written in 1999 by Max Jammer, who was one of his closest acquaintances. Jammer exhaustively compiles Einstein's written statements on the subject, both public and private.

I remember
I was shopping for a car for my wife years ago and inquired with Circuit Leasing. Their prices were higher than new in my area, so I scrapped that idea.
They continued to send me flyers and key fobs for a couple of years though:

A little boy will lead them [i.e. the wolf...the leopard...the lion. Is. 11:6-9]
by Wonderment indon't know if this subject has been touched on here before, but i have wondered at times, how much literalness can be applied to this messianic prophecy within a paradise setting (assuming one probable interpretation of is.
the wt presents a mental image of complete harmony between animal and mankind.. does this biblical passage somehow indicate that existing wild beasts will feed on vegetation alone.
animals are not spoken of living forever in the bible.

I would like to know where you picked it up.
Ancient was part of a Classical Studies course at a local Community College.
Modern (Which I highly recommend for pronunciation even though it's technically a different language) was with a private tutor.

Roe vs Wade Overturned by US Supreme Court!
by Simon ini know there was a leak a few weeks back, but this really does seem to have come out of the blue.. the anomaly was the original decision.
it clearly had no basis in law or the constitution, and was a flimsy, ridiculous ruling.
plus the whole thing was based on a fraudulent case in the first place.. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61928898.

...they said it is not in the constitution.
Yes. Regardless of a person's personal and religious feelings on the subject, the tie-in to the Constitution (i.e. That the right to privacy guaranteed in the 1st, 3rd, 4th & 5th Amendments speaks to the legality of a medical procedure) was fanciful, to put it mildly.

Fisherman,
But the context and the rest of the Bible suggests possession here. You need to factor in all the other scriptures.
It is what it is.
The three dative "en" phrase describe events that accompany the Lord's coming.
The trumpet call (Dative) is "of God" (Genitive) in the same what that the voice (Dative) is "of an archangel" (Genitive)
The verse does not identify Jesus as that archangel anymore than it identifies Jesus as God.
