Our Q & A Continues With Peter Arnold, Christian Fiction Suspense Thriller Author, "Armor of Light: A Trilogy Story" ( NEW eBook Debuted TODAY, July 2, 2024 )
Heaven's Doorway Press - Q & A ( Part VIV ) with author, Peter Arnold:
Question: Peter, in your eBook, "Armor of Light: A Trilogy Story," you embrace the mystical theme of 'the lion and the lamb,' what intrigues you most about the metaphor?
"Our Lord Jesus Christ was the perfect spotless sacrificial lamb, yet in the meekness of this gentle creature is the foreshadowing of the 'Lion of Judah,' strength in obedience to his paschal mission. Saint Augustine in one of his sermons (#375A),'the lion stands for Christ resurrected, the lamb for Christ's sacrifice', enduring death as a lamb, yet devouring death as a lion."
There is a beautiful Christian praise song, called the "Lion and the Lamb" by Leeland with extraordinary lyrics!
In this pic below, is a faint mystical apparition of the 'Lion and the Lamb' on the marble floor before the tabernacle at Saint Monica's Catholic Community Church in California. Can you see the lamb? Once you locate the lamb, then look directly above adjacent (almost hugging) is a profile of a majestic lion's head!
"Let us cast off the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light." (Romans 13:11) Saint Paul also proclaims, "Put on the armor of God; then you will be able to stand firm when the worst happens; you will fulfill all your duties and hold your ground. Stand firm and let truth be a belt around your waist."
"I love the sacred armor: 'Put round you the belt of truth; put on the breastplate of righteousness; for shoes wear zeal for the Gospel of peace; take up the shield of faith to extinguish all the burning arrows of the evil one; take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God.' Also, 'Clothe us with the weapons of light and unite us under the one banner of love, that we may receive our eternal reward after the battle of earthly life.'"
"During these dark times having emerged from the pandemic, wars and ongoing threat of climate change, the "Armor of Light" is essential in our earthly battle as sons and daughters of the light."
