When Angels Battle the Lord of the Flies

When angels battle the Lord of the Flies, apologists war with devils of doubt (the skeptic, the cynic, and worldly-wise); the unknowns shrink the hearts of the devout: fear, disease, pain, war, death, all the horror of Eve's sin for heeding that serpent's lies, whilst doubting the Truth in whose hand mirror we creatures viewed ourselves immortal, wise like gods. But doubt, like hope, refreshes faith; and faith, belief, when fertilized, knows grace: then revelation (with love, mercy, and ruth, from Him that made the earth and us, a race of humans both male and female). Whether we choose, live, die: all rising together!
