The Sword of Gilead & The Book of Angels

            to  see  whether  they  are  from  God,  for  many  false
            prophets have gone out into the world.”
                    My  pre-Catholic  involvement  in  Eastern
            religions and dabbling with the occult, astrology,
            and  witchcraft,  made  me  very  aware  of  the
            possibility of deceiving spirits. Therefore, I needed
            to be sure this important message was from God. -
            The  word  Gilead  was  no  real  surprise.  -  In  the
            Bible, "Gilead" means a “hill of testimony or mound
            of  witness”  in  Genesis  31:21  and  it  is  a
            mountainous  region  east  of  the  Jordan  River
            situated in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
                    The  Aramaic  name  Yegar-Sahadutha
            carries  the  same  meaning  as  the  Hebrew  in
            Genesis 31:47. - From its mountainous character, it
            is "the mount of Gilead" in Genesis 31:25. It is called
            also  "the  land  of  Gilead"  in  Numbers  32:1,  and
            sometimes  simply  "Gilead"  as  in  Psalms  60:9;
            Genesis  37:25.  As  a  whole,  it  included  the  tribal
            territories of Gad, Reuben, and the eastern half of
            Manasseh  in  Deut  3:13,  Num  32:40.  Surrounded
            on the north by Bashan and on the south by Moab
            and  Ammon,  I  found  it  noted  in  Genesis  31:21,
            and Deut 3:12-17, and so this satisfied me.
                    It  became  apparent  that  the  concept  of
            “witness  and  testimony”  connected  with  the
            purpose    and    vision   of   Flame   Ministries
            International:    preaching,     teaching,    and
            evangelisation; which I at that time was praying.
            This also resonated strongly with my ministry as a
                                                   21 | P a g e
