In another thread a reference was made to Nathaniel
My pervasive thought is always angels coming to earth from heaven to assist folks. But both of these passages remind us they are here all the time, by indicating the ascending first.
Any other passages/thought from other religions on this topic??
Rereading this scripture made me remember Jacobs dream and what is referred to as Jacobs ladder (actually a staircase in the story), but in his vision he saw angels ascending and descending the staircase. And here to Nathaniel, Jesus refers to 'the angels of G!d ascending and descending'.49 Nathanael answered and said to Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
50 Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” 51 And He said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter[a] you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”
