night after night they make him known.

My body rests in safety.

For you will not leave my soul among the dead

or allow your Holy One to rot in the grave.

Psalm 16:9-10

for thousands of angels to protect us,

and he would send them instantly?

how would the Scriptures be fulfilled

that describe what must happen now?”

and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
