Angels and Demons

Mark 5:1 – 6:13

Christianity is unapologetically supernatural in its convictions. We confess belief in the triune God, miracles, and all other truths of divine revelation. Part of the Christian confession is belief in the existence of normally invisible spirits, some of whom do God’s will and some of whom oppose it. The ministry of Jesus teaches us much about these spirits, particularly demons, the spirits who oppose the Lord.

“He who will have, for his Master and King, Jesus Christ, the Son of the Virgin, who took upon Himself our flesh and our blood, will have the devil for his enemy.”

The easily visible central portion of the Ring Nebula (M57) is about one light-year across, but this remarkably deep exposure - a collaborative effort combining data from three different large telescopes - explores the looping filaments of glowing gas extending much farther from the nebula's central star. This remarkable composite image includes narrowband hydrogen image, visible light emission, and infrared light emission. In this well-studied example of a planetary nebula, the glowing material does not come from planets. Instead, the gaseous shroud represents outer layers expelled from a dying, sun-like star. The Ring Nebula is about 2,000 light-years away toward the musical constellation Lyra.

The Pataxó are an indigenous people with a population of about 11,800 individuals. They once spoke the Pataxó language, but now speak Portuguese. The Pataxó people live in several villages in the southern part of the state of Bahia and northern of the state of Minas Gerais. There is evidence that the village of Barra Velha has existed for nearly two and a half centuries since 1767. Tracing a history of contact with non-indigenous people that goes back to the sixteenth century and often forced to hide their customs, nowadays the Pataxó strive to enliven their language - the Patxohã - and rituals "of the ancient"
