“The master of the palace had similar functions at the court of Judah. Announcing the promotion of Elyaqim, Isaiah 22:22 says: 'I lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder, if he opens, none will shut; if he shuts, none will open.' The Egyptian vizier's instructions are described in a very similar fashion. Every morning 'the vizier will send someone to open the gates of the kings house, to admit those who have to enter, and to send out those who have to go out.' One is reminded of the Lord's words to Peter, the Vizier of the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 16:19).” IfsHouseHeavenLordMorningFashionMastersKeysKingsFunctionCourtLaysShouldersKingdomsGatesInstructionPeterEvery MorningPromotionPalacesKingdom Of HeavenEgyptianMatthewAnnouncingJudah Author:Roland de Vaux
“Many of the Bible characters fell just in the things in which they were thought to be strongest.

“I think even back as far as 'Lord of the Rings,' there was always the chance that 'The Hobbit' would be made, even way back then.

“Medieval theologians used to dispute how the angels in the heaven spent their time, when not balancing on needle points and singing anthems to the Lord. I know.

“I wasn't actually going to see the original film [Lord of the Ring], because I didn't think it was possible that a film could represent the books appropriately. So I was protesting, and I wasn't going to see them. And then my family all took a jaunt together, the entire family, to see the movies, and were like, "What, you're just going to stay home?" So I saw the movies and was thoroughly impressed that Peter Jackson managed to make my vision of the book come to life, as well as my sister's and my father's, and my aunt's and my uncle's, everyone's.” ThinkingWellsBookHomeTogetherFilmFatherVisionLordSawsMy FamilyOriginalsRingsMy SisterPeterImpressedUnclesAuntLord Of The Ring Author:Evangeline Lilly
