There are many parallels between the times in which the New Testament was written and today.  Persecution under the harsh hand of Rome produced Messianic expectations.  It was those expectations and their realization that brought the miracles we see throughout the Book of Acts.  S.  What are our expectations today:  darkness or the Kingdom?  Yes, the Luciferian elite has their plans, but so does Almighty God.  Proper expectations allow the believer to tap into the power of God for our generation!
