I wonder if Paul was he who restrained in his day.....and that there was a falling away soon after he died, with the wolves not sparing the flock just as he foresaw and prophesied, since he was no longer there to battle and restrain them and their lawlessness and false teachings. He was...

Jesus, the Word made flesh, speaks to us in parables, comparing spiritual with spiritual. What did Jesus say about living waters? And doesn't this below sound like Zech 14 as well? Luk 3:5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall...
