I know that scripture says that Jesus is of the order of Melchizedek and talks about him in Hebrews 7:3: "Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. " This is interesting...

"Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: The blind receive their sight...

What does 'in like manner' mean in Acts 1:11, which reads: "Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. "

Exodus 19:4 says: "Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. " I don't see any record in the Bible of this happening with real physical birds. What does it mean then? I do remember seeing something similar in the Lord of the...
