MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!
Rev. Robert L. Wise, Ph.D. explores the world of divine interventions from an objective point of view. An Archbishop in the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches with a Ph.D. and the author of 36 books, Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.
OUR UNSEEN ADVOCATES
Recently, I noted that people who believe in angels seldom stop to ask what angels actually accomplish. As a matter of fact, angels are involved in our welfare and offering protection, here’s a surprising example that happened during World War II in Mons, Belgium.
In 1914, the war was not going well for the British. The Germans were outgunning them and started pushing them back. The German offensive appeared to be closing in. The carnage was horrific.
A dreary industrial town, Mons stood along the Conde Canal that might have presented an obstacle that would slow the German advance down. But nothing stopped the German assault and the British army was greatly outnumbered.
On the night of August 26, the weary British soldiers saw an unearthly figure materialize above the German army, hovering in the growing darkness. The startled Germans didn’t charge and the British survived. One soldier remembered what he saw on the front of the figure, Adsit Anglis Sanctus Georgius (May St. George be a present help to England) Three soldiers who were there agreed that they had been saved by God. A lance-corporal told the nurse “plainly in mid-air a strange light which seemed to be quite distinct … the light became brighter and I could distinctly see three shapes … they were above the German lines facing us … all the men with me saw them.”
In the 1916 book On the Side of Angels, the author records how one officer saw a brilliant light in the sky while another group of men talked about “celestial apparitions.” They were all keenly aware of supernatural beings. Ghostly havoc was visited on the enemy.
One Coldstream Guard soldier got lost in the gloomy night. Suddenly, a figure appeared with a golden band around the waist. The figure led him through the dark night to a sunken road where he would not be found by the pursuing Germans. The next day he escaped but when he looked for the road on a map, none could be found.
An officer wrote, “I myself saw the angels who saved us who saved our left wing from the Germans during the retreat from Mons. … We saw between us and the enemy a whole troop of Angels.”
Horrific times seem to create heavenly responses. Angels swoop in to help the broken and the battered. You can depend on the unseen to help you through such moments. What do angels do? Whatever needs to be done.
