Three Realities from Jacob’s Dream

     2)    The Ministry of Angels

“And he dreamed, and behold, there was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven.  And behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it!”  — Genesis 28:12

     3)    The Mediation of Christ

“Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”  — John 1:51
