Saul and the Medium of

En-dor

Then 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.
The woman said,
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.
Saul 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)

Saul disse aos seus auxiliares:
Procurem uma mulher que invoca
espritos, para que eu a consulte. Eles
disseram: Existe uma em En-Dor.
Saul ento se disfarou, vestindo
outras roupas, e foi noite, com dois
homens, at a casa da mulher.
Quem devo fazer subir?,
perguntou a mulher. Ele respondeu:
Samuel.
Quando a mulher viu Samuel, gritou.
Saul lhe disse: No tenha medo. O que
voc est vendo?
A mulher respondeu: Vejo um
ancio vestindo um manto est
subindo.
Ento Saul ficou sabendo que era
Samuel, inclinou-se e prostrou-se,
rosto em terra.

Elijahs 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.
The man 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 Syrias heart
was very troubled about this.
He called his servants, and
said to them, Wont 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.
He said, Go and see
where he is, that I may send
and get him.
He was told, Behold, he
is in Dothan. So the king of
Syria sent horses, chariots,
and a great army there.
O Exrcito Secreto de Eliseu

O rei da Sria estava em guerra
contra Israel. Depois de reunir-se
com os seus conselheiros, disse:
Montarei o meu acampamento
em tal lugar.
Mas o homem de Deus
mandava uma mensagem ao rei
de Israel: Evite passar por tal
lugar, pois os arameus esto
descendo para l.
Isso enfureceu o rei da Sria,
que, convocando seus
conselheiros, perguntou-lhes:
Vocs no me apontaro qual
dos nossos est do lado do rei de
Israel?
Respondeu um dos
conselheiros: Nenhum de ns,
majestade. Eliseu, o profeta
que est em Israel, que revela ao
rei de Israel at as palavras que
tu falas em teu quarto.
Ordenou o rei: Descubram
onde ele est, para que eu
mande captur-lo. Quando lhe
informaram que o profeta estava
em Dot, ele enviou para l uma
grande tropa com cavalos e
carros de guerra.

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, Dont be
afraid; for those who are with
us are more than those who
are with them.
God then opened the
young mans eyes and he saw
the mountain was full of
horses and chariots of fire
around Elisha. (2 Kings 6:8-17,
WEB)
O servo do homem de Deus
levantou-se bem cedo pela
manh e, quando saa, viu que
uma tropa com cavalos e carros
de guerra havia cercado a
cidade. Ento ele exclamou:
Ah, meu senhor! O que
faremos?
O profeta respondeu: No
tenha medo. Aqueles que
esto conosco so mais
numerosos do que eles.
Ento o Senhor abriu os
olhos do servo, que olhou e viu
as colinas cheias de cavalos e
carros de fogo ao redor de
Eliseu. (2 Reis 6:8-17)
Isaiahs 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)
O Chamado de Isaas

Eu vi o Senhor assentado num
trono alto e exaltado. Acima dele
estavam serafins; cada um deles
tinha seis asas: com duas
cobriam o rosto, com duas
cobriam os ps e com duas
voavam.
Um dos serafins voou at mim
trazendo uma brasa viva, que
havia tirado do altar com uma
tenaz. Com ela tocou a minha
boca e
disse:
Veja, isto
tocou os
seus
lbios; por
isso, a sua
culpa ser
removida,
e o seu
pecado
ser
perdoado.
(Isaas 6:1-
7)
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)
A escrita misteriosa na parede

O rei Belsazar deu ordens que
as taas de ouro e de prata que
tinham sido trazidas do templo
de Jerusalm para Babilnia,

banquete. Depois, beberam por
elas os governantes e as suas
mulheres, erguendo-as em sinal
de louvor aos seus dolos feitos
de ouro, de prata, de cobre, de
ferro, de madeira e de pedra.
De repente, enquanto bebiam
por aquelas taas, viram uns
dedos de mo de homem
escrevendo no estuque da
parede que estava em frente do
castial. O prprio monarca viu
os dedos a escreverem. Ficou
lvido de terror, e de tal maneira
que at os joelhos lhe
comearam a tremer e
no se aguentou mais
nas pernas!
(Daniel 5:1-6)

Jesus took with him Peter, James,
and John his brother, and brought
them up into a high mountain by

city, and many people saw
them. (Matthew 27:51-53, ERV)

the night. There was a man of
Macedonia standing, begging
him, and saying, Come over
into Macedonia and help

Gods 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.

4:2-8, WEB)
O trono no cu

Diante dos meus olhos, deparei
com um trono e Algum sentado
sobre ele. E jorravam cintilaes
daquele que estava sentado no
trono, como de um diamante ou
de um rubi. E saam relmpagos e
troves do trono; misturados com
eles ouviam-se vozes. Diante do
trono estavam sete fachos acesos,
que so os sete espritos de Deus.
Diante e volta do trono havia
quatro seres viventes. O primeiro
desses seres tinha a forma de um
leo; o segundo parecia um
bezerro; o terceiro tinha o rosto de
um homem; e o quarto a forma de
uma guia.
Cada um
destes seres
viventes
tinha seis
asas, e
estavam
totalmente
cobertos de
olhos, mesmo
debaixo das
asas.

4:2-8)
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)



E eu, Joo, sou aquele
que vi e ouvi estas
coisas. E, havendo-as
ouvido e visto, prostrei-
me aos ps do anjo que

adorar.
E disse-me: Olha, no
faas tal, porque eu sou
conservo teu e de teus
irmos, os profetas.
(Apocalipse 22:8-9)
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,
