The Return of the Angels: Sunday Evenings in a Glasgow Pulpit (Classic Reprint) (Hardback)

Excerpt from The Return of the Angels: Sunday Evenings in a Glasgow PulpitAnd Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. Gen. Xxxii. 1.Well-nigh twenty years had passed away, since Jacob had had his vision at Bethel. They had been years of hard and constant labour they had been years of remarkable prosperity. No longer was Jacob an empty-handed fugitive, leaving his home for an uncertain future. God had been with him, and had advanced him wonderfully, and had blessed him in his basket and his store. And1 now he was a rich and prosperous man, master of herds and flocks innumerable, and with a host of servants at his call, ready to further him in every I venture. There are men who prosper and who pay for prospering by never seeing the angels any.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
