Final movement of J. S. Bach's Mass in B Minor. The first glimpse that the world would see of this Mass was in 1733 when Bach dedicated its Kyrie and Crucifixus to Friedrich August II, Elector of Saxony,   more...a man who had converted to the Roman faith (abandoning his wife who would not convert). For the next fifteen years Bach expanded this Missa Brevis, borrowing heavily from his German cantatas and adapting them to Latin, to produce a complete setting of the Mass ordinary. Bach did this knowing that the work would never see performance during his lifetime. So, in terms of its origin, the B Minor Mass is an enigma - a Latin work by a Protestant that is impracticable in both the Roman and Lutheran liturgies. The performance is by the Bach Ensemble conducted by Joshua Rifkin.

the nephilim and the fallen angels ?

Dad passed away in 1986, and Mom in 2005. This is how I like to think about them

an amv I made for a friend of mine hope you like it its Angel Santuary like you asked for.

Sometimes we never realize who watches over us.

I made this video on Sunday 31st march 2008 after the death of a very close family member and this was how I was feeling(still am). Sad, Angry, loss, numb.   more... Thank you Karen(KJ)for all the tips, your a great 'Mate' Angels Lyrics

Sparkling angel I believed
You are my savior in my time of need.
Blinded by faith I couldn't hear
All the whispers, the warnings so clear.
I see the angels,
I'll lead them to your door.
There's no escape now,
No mercy no more.
No remorse cause I still remember

The smile when you tore me apart.
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they turn into real.
You broke a promise and made me realise.
It was all just a lie.

Sparkling angel, I couldn't see
Your dark intentions, your feelings for me.
Fallen angel, tell me why?
What is the reason, the thorn in your eye?
I see the angels,
I'll lead them to your door
There's no escape now
No mercy no more
No remorse cause I still remember

The smile when you tore me apart
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they turn into real.
You broke the promise and made me realise.
It was all just a lie.
Could have been forever.
Now we have reached the end.

This world may have failed you,
It doesn't give you a reason why.
You could have chosen a different path in life.

The smile when you tore me apart.
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they turn into real.
You broke the promise and made me realise.
It was all just a lie.
Could have been forever.
Now we have reached the end.

Thanks for watching, (((hugs))) Kylie XX  less

The Zoa or 'Ophanim' has a class called the Opanniel. They are described as mind blowingly awesome creatures having 16 faces, 100 wings, 2191 eyes on each of it's 4 sides, totalling 8766 eyes (one for each hour in a year). Only the Patriach Enoch wrote about them, as no human form could look upon one without being consumed instantly. It would take 2500 years to traverse it's length by foot (200 000 miles tall) and nothing can calculate the amplitude of its power except the King of Kings, YHWH himself.

Again, the Zoa are said to have 72 huge saphire stones in their garments, and one giant emerald on each crown. Their countenances are as brilliant as the sun, and dwell in unapproachable pavilions of light, and the brilliance of YHWH's Shakinah Glory is upon them (see Rev 4:6)

Opposite the throne of glory are creatures called 'The Watchers'. They are the ministers of heaven, more noble and greater than any of the angels, and will be and are responsable for ministering judgment on earth (see Isa 13). Each of their names are written with a pen of fire upon each of their crowns, as sparks and lightenings stream out from them. A river of holy flame flows among them, and ignites the stones of fire that blaze around God's holy presence. Myriads of angels bathe in this light in order to beatify and purify their garments- some of these holy creatures being larger than planet earth!  less

ARTIST CHRIS RIVERA THANKS GOD FOR THE BIRTH OF HIS TWO CHILDREN. FROM HIS ALBUM "BREATHE AGAIN". DIRECTED BY BOB MERCO.

He's back!!!! Missed you man!

My comment to Wendy's incredibly sad and sweet video

Pope Benedict announced today that Limbo is no more. After centuries of Catholics being taught children not baptized resided in Limbo rather than heaven is no more... Heaven beckons the children

One day Myspace page and Ariel's page were open in different windows. The song "Ancient Voices" began with a sitar and the rock song "Cry Little Sister" came in on the right beat.   more...It was a wonderful mix that I replicated and put to images of angels and demons. This video is dedicated to my inspirations: Ariel and Revanant/Angel-With-Duct-Tapped-Wings.  less
