Saul and the Medium of En-dor

Then King Saul said to his servants, "Seek out for me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her." And his servants said to him, "Behold, there is a medium at En-dor." So Saul disguised himself and went, he and two men with him. When they arrived at the woman’s house, she asked, "Whom shall I bring up for you?" He said, "Bring up Samuel for me."

When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice. The king said to her, "Do not be afraid. What do you see?" And the woman said to Saul, "An old man is coming up, and he is wrapped in a robe." And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground and paid homage. (1 Samuel 28:7-14, ERV, adapted)

Elijah's Secret Army

Now the king of Syria was at war against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, "My camp will be in such and such a place." Elisha, the prophet of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, "Beware that you not pass this place; for the Syrians are coming down there."

The king of Syria's heart was very troubled about this. He called his servants, and said to them, "Won't you show me which of us is for the king of Israel?" One of his servants said, "No, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom."

The king of Syria said, "Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him." He was told, "Behold, he is in Dothan." Therefore he sent horses, chariots, and a great army there.

When the servant of the man of God had risen early, and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was around the city. His servant said to him, "Alas, my master! What shall we do?"

Elisha answered, "Don't be afraid; for those who are with us are more than those who are with them." God then opened the young man's eyes; and he saw: and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha. (2 Kings 6:8-17, WEB)

Isaiah's Calling

I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.

Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth with it, and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged." (Isaiah 6:1-7, NKJV)

The Handwriting on the Wall

Belshazzar commanded that the vessels of gold and of silver that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple in Jerusalem be brought, that the king and his lords and wives might drink from them. They drank wine and praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone.

Immediately the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace, opposite the lampstand. And the king saw the hand as it wrote. Then the king's color changed, and his thoughts alarmed him; his limbs gave way, and his knees knocked together. (Daniel 5:1-6, ERV)

The Transfiguration

Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves. Then He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light. And Moses and Elijah appeared, talking with Jesus. (Matthew 17:1-3, WEB; modified)

Jesus Dies

When Jesus died, the earth shook and rocks were broken. The graves opened, and many of God's people who had died were raised from death. They came out of the graves. And after Jesus was raised from death, they went into the holy city, and many people saw them. (Matthew 27:51-53, ERV)

Paul is Called to Macedonia

A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him, and saying, "Come over into Macedonia and help us." When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to them. (Acts 16:9-10, WEB)

God's Throne Room

Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and One sitting on the throne that looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

In the middle of the throne, and around the throne were four living creatures. The first Creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like a man, and the fourth was like a flying eagle. The four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within. (Revelations 4:2-8, WEB)

Now I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things. Then he said to me, "See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets." (Revelation 22:8-9, NKJV)

Helpers from Heaven

Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation? (Hebrews 1:14, NKJV)

Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. (Hebrews 12:1-2, NKJV)
