And not only him, but the Lord's angel gave another prophet a vision almost identical to what God gave John. Who was that prophet? Why did the Lord do this? And what is Paradise like, anyway?

The apostle Paul quotes portions of tonight’s psalm in Romans 3. He uses it as the linchpin of his argument: “What shall we conclude then? Are we any better? Not at all! We have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under sin. As it is written: There is no one righteous, not even…
