"'Lord of Hosts' is one of the titles for God. And there has been some controversy in the translation of the word 'angel'. It was originally translated as such because early translators didn't know what the word meant, so it was transliterated from άγγελος to angel. God's army is composed of angels, translated as messenger and/or envoy. Words are very important. Unfortunately, translating is an art more than a science."
"God be with you my friend."
John handed Jensen a slip of paper, "This is my new address. My staff is already preparing the place for habitation. I will be moving in tomorrow. If you need a car you can take mine. I have several. And this place is still under lease for another 5 months so if you would like it, it is yours. The furnishings came with the loft. By all means pray about it before deciding. The offer stands no matter how you are led to proceed."
John walked out of the room. When he returned he had cradled in his arms a book. He placed the volume in Jensen's hands. It was a 1760 Cambridge edition of the King James Bible. "Here, this is the first Bible I purchased when I began collecting old Bibles. In a manner of speaking, this book helped start me on my path that led to this place, this day. It was the start of a new beginning for me. Maybe it can help you with yours. You are one of God's co-laborers for His Kingdom. I am praying the Lord of the Harvest sends more workers into His fields."
John had no doubt that he had just witnessed the miraculous. Jensen was transformed. The man that shared the room with John was not the man who entered the loft just a short time ago. Jensen had just been told that the Antichrist was in the same city as him and without reservation decided to prepare to help God's people in the looming crisis. Jensen James may be without a flock at the moment, but he was the example of the good shepherd. 'The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.' John10:11b
