Messages from angels are not proof of superiority.

This season will focus on the Angels Messages in Revelation 14, and we begin by acknowledging a few reservations about the way this topic has often been delivered. Revelation has so much poetic power to stimulate conversation and thought, but particular interpretations have occasionally been used as tests to declare people "in" or "out" of community. The story of Balaam reminds us that receiving angelic messages might not necessarily mean you're anything other than a donkey!
