The Watchman On The Wall

The Watchman On The Wall
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Verse 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Super Hero Yeshua Survives Hellish Inferno; Супер герой Йешуа виживає грішного інферна Super heroy Yeshua vyzhyvaye hrishnoho inferna



WAKEFIELD, Mass. - The First Baptist Church in Wakefield began picking up the pieces after a fire destroyed the 150-year-old structure earlier this week.
Witnesses said that lightning struck the spire of the church as severe weather moved through the area, sparking a fast-moving fire on Oct. 23.
Crews began dismantling the remnants of the historic landmark in the rain Wednesday morning. 
The 150-year-old building will now be torn down completely. 
Just one painting hanging in the front entrance of the church was left behind, nearly untouched.
It has just a few little drips on it, but otherwise, the painting depicting Jesus Christ survived the inferno Tuesday night and now resides inside a parishioners' house. 
"I'm personally taking it as a sign and a reminder that the Jesus, the Christ that we serve is still alive and even though our church building is gone our church is here and the God we serve is still here," said Maria Kakalowski, a parishioner of the church.
Although there is no official cause yet, several residents said they saw the steeple hit by lightning and set off a fire that grew quickly to seven alarms. 
"I was down about a mile away and I just saw this fireball in the sky. It just went up like a tinderbox. It's a building built in 1870 and it's balloon-style so once the fire starts you know the whole building just went up quickly," the church's pastor, Reverend Doctor Norm Bendroth, said. 
The painting is serving as a source of strength for the parishioners and it may one day hang in a new church, rebuilt upon the memory of charred timbers
