 That’s interesting.  Why wouldn’t it be a glow or some other other worldly kind of look ? I’d be interested to know what you found in looking up the context of the verse. Moses glowed after meeting with God. The women saw an angel at the tomb- who knows how many other people at the time actually saw an angel?

I wonder if Stephen's face looked like something Manoah's wife saw on the face of this "man of God"?

Jdg 13:6  Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible:

Hello Diane,

After reading this in context and checking Strongs and Thayer, I believe it to NOT be referring to some ethereal manifestation, but rather his steadfast resolute physical appearance, right down to the “look” in his eyes that matched his spiritually unwavering responses. Perhaps very similar to how an angel, by definition a messenger from God, might also look. After all, the apostilles were in effect messengers. I think it may also be implied that they knew Stephen was a messenger from God in the same way that Nicodemus admitted how they knew Jesus was from God.

hope everyone had or is still having a joyous holiday time with family and friends

a small query re Acts 6:15 "all who sat in the council, looking steadfastly at him (Stephen),  saw his face as the face of an angel".

No one knows what an angel looks like as we regard them as messengers, so would possibly he have had some kind of "glow" or expression about him?  We sometimes look at children and express that they have the face of an angel (innocence/cuteness) but how could that be applied to an adult?  What do you think?

I just got on the forum again after being off a while.  Currently I live in Arizona and would love to fellowship with others on this forum. I am planning to visit my uncle, who lives in Northen Alabama.  I think the core group is around there , but I am not sure. :)

If anything, the "core group" is even more scattered than before, but southern Alabama (Mobile) was where Ray and Dennis lived, among a few others. 

I still have no immediate plans.  Last time I looked at the map, it seemed like Kentucky was the most central place...like Louisville or Lexington.  People have come and gone since, though, so the "center" may be elsewhere by now.  There is nothing stopping anybody from attempts at in-person fellowship, large scale or small.  The map is just a handy visual.

I have been studying Ray's teachings for a few years now. I more I study the more clarity I get.  Just recently I stopped going to a bible study in where they were using teachings of Tony Evans.  I noted how Mr. Evans in teaching on John 17 added to scripture and no one there except me picked up on it.

Rom_11:8  just as it is written [in Scripture], "GOD GAVE THEM A SPIRIT OF STUPOR, EYES THAT DO NOT SEE AND EARS THAT DO NOT HEAR, [a spiritual apathy that has continued] TO THIS VERY DAY." [Deu_29:4; Isa_29:10]
2Ti_4:3  For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine and accurate instruction [that challenges them with God's truth]; but wanting to have their ears tickled [with something pleasing], they will accumulate for themselves [many] teachers [one after another, chosen] to satisfy their own desires and to support the errors they hold,
2Ti_4:4  and will turn their ears away from the truth and will wander off into myths and man-made fictions [and will accept the unacceptable].

We have no need to dwell in fear here because we know that God will be All in all.  Why is fear needed ?  Is it fearmongering to believe that the transition from this eon to the next is difficult ?  I don’t think so.  Be prepared in season and out of season because the days are evil.

Octoberose,
I agree with your recent two statements.
To explain, consider God's stated purpose in bringing the flood of Noe.
It was to bring a new start to the people of the earth. To cover or bury the evil that had been created by the people of that age so that it would not be seen any more.

The transition from this evil age to the next age of grace is similar as it will eliminate the evil persons from the earth and provide a new start for those underage persons to be cleansed from the error they have learned in this evil age.

God is following the plan He enacted in Numbers to hold the sinning, cowardly adults in the desert forty years until only the children under 20 still remained alive to enter the promised land.
 Numbers 13 and 14

So there will be great destruction in the earth just before our Lord returns to rule and make peace.
