For The KingRocky Ramsey
Today on For The King, I am joined by Zach. Zach and I met in our undergrad (he was a senior and I was a freshman he was discipling) and we quickly became friends. He graduated with a degree in speech pathology and works in the same field. We are also novice powerlifters together.
Key texts: Matthew 2 (specifically verses 2 and 9-10), Zechariah 3 (Joshua the High Priest), Ezekiel 1 (odd wheels), 2 king 6 : 8-18 (chariots of fire), 1 Chronicles 21 : 15-16 (a massive angel with a massive sword stretched over the entire city)
