The Sword of Gilead & The Book of Angels

                    The  “Sword  of  Gilead”  was  not  the  angel
            Uriel of course, but my research showed that the
            term  “Sword”  did  sometimes  refer  to  God’s  holy
            angels and it seemed to  refer to  the cherubim as
            noted in Genesis 3:24. - I could now see then, that
            the  words  “Sword  of  Gilead”  meant,  “Angel  of
            Gilead  -  hill  of  testimony  or  mound  of  witness.  -
            Considering my calling and ministry as a preacher
            evangelist  and  so  the  purpose  of  both  Flame
            Ministries  International  and  FMI’s  outreach  now
            titled  “The  Lion  of  Judah  Catholic  Praise
            Meeting,”  “hill  of  testimony  or  mound  of  witness”
            made sense and sat right in my spirit.
                    It  now  left  the  word  “Avenging”  that
            needed  examination.  -  This  is  a  very  aggressive
            term and it bothered me even though I knew that
            God  had  said  in  Romans  12:  9,  “Beloved,  never
            avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for
            it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the
            Lord.”
                    Other  scriptures  that  supported  this  was
            Leviticus 19:13, Deuteronomy 32:25, 1 Samuel 26:10,
            11,  Psalm  94:1,  Proverbs  20:22,  Proverbs  24:29,
            Jeremiah  51:36,  Romans  12:17,  Ephesians  4:27,
            1Thessalonians  4:6, 2Timothy  4:14,  Hebrews  10:30.  -
            Vengeance is wholly due to the Lord, and so this
            was  an  angel  of  the  Lord  sent  to  do  his  just
            bidding on my behalf.
                    By now, it became clear to me that the title,
            “Sword,” meaning “Angel of,” and Gilead meaning,
                                                   23 | P a g e
