The tremendous explosions provided a fantastic display of power and energy, and the scientists busily gathered data to learn more about the distant planet. Many of us may not even have been aware of this event. […]
The voice of God was heard last night. Millions heard Him. He spoke powerfully and emphatically. Some who heard Him acknowledged that He was speaking and that He was God. Most ignored Him even though they were momentarily terror stricken. “The voice of the thunder was in the heavens, the lightening lightened the world: the […]
