Christianity enters the British Isles (Hart, Ecclesiastical records of England, Ireland, and Scotland, 2nd ed., 1846)

Text: none

Quote:

   That the light of Christianity dawned upon these islands in the course of the first century, is a matter of historical certainty, but the instrument by which this blessed work was accomplished, is a question which will always be involved in obscurity both from the number of conflicting testimonies, and the remoteness of the period to which they relate.

Text: none Quote: MEPHISTOPHELES. Well, we'll consider: thou canst gather My views, when next I venture in. Might I, perhaps, depart at present? FAUST. Why thou shouldst ask, I don't perceive. Though our acquaintance is so recent, For further visits thou hast leave. The window's here, the door is yonder; A chimney, also, you behold. MEPHISTOPHELES.

Why, tell me now, thou Son of Hades, If that prevents, how cam'st thou in to me? Could such a spirit be so cheated? MEPHISTOPHELES. Inspect the thing: the drawing's not completed. The outer angle, you may see, Is open left---the lines don't fit it. Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von; Taylor, Bayard, tr., Faust: a Tragedy , auth. ed., London; New York: Ward, Lock, and Co., 1889, p. 40 . Online Source:   a...

Study: Recall the connection between the statue of Daniel 2 and the sea beast of Revelation 13 . Vision of Daniel 2 ( body part )   gold head silver breast & arms brass waist & thighs iron legs & feet ONE Statue: A conglomeration of Metals Vision of Daniel 7 ( Dan. 2-Rev. 13 bridge equates statue with beast! ) lion bear leopard non-descript ===   Vision of Rev. 13:1-10 ( beast part )   lion mouth bear feet leopard body 10 horns ONE Beast: A conglomeration of Beasts Note: a person is recognized by their face thus we might very well call both Daniel 2 's statue and Revelation 13 's sea beast, Babylon !
